Because the nuggets are a poorly built team……

He should never be the backup Center.

Allowing only 40 points at this stage of the game is really good though

Yeah, anyone who thinks the games over needs to just flip over to the NFL draft (where Pack finally took a wide out in R1!)

Yea. A 15 point lead in the 2nd quarter is nothing in today’s NBA. Especially vs Jokic/Murray.

Denver's defense is a joke.

Good thing that they got rid of Booth and Malone. They need to rebuild things all the way through on that side of the ball.

Serious question, would Braun and Porter even break the Clippers rotation?

Batum with great defense to prevent the easy lay in.

Ball of the game belongs to him already

It’s hilarious all the people who said Harden was gonna choke and cost the Clippers in the playoffs lol. So far he’s decimated Denver in 3 games.
