If the Clippers cut of the stretches for bad offensive possession that lead to nothing and Norm/Boogie stop playing bad this series is over. The are clearly the better team.

You’re not real when Deandre Jordan is getting minutes and Westbrook gets significant minutes lol.

That’s 3 all-NBA caliber players vs one man.


Zubac all-NBA? What?


100% this year.


Center wise, there’s:
Jokic, AD, Sengun, Sabonis, KAT & Gobert, Adebayo, and albeit with injuries, Wemby and Embiid.

Debatable, there’s Walker Kessler, Jarrett Allen, Isaiah Hartenstein

Better than guys like DeAndre Ayton (once upon a time he was better), Jalen Duren

Zubac is rock solid, but I wouldn’t say he’s All NBA caliber.

It's sad how bad this team has fallen off in two short years. They are just so un-fun to watch, it's so depressing.

Jokic got locked by Zu bailed by bull foul. Refs call another one immediately. Lol.

If you factor in offense and defense this year, Zubac was all-NBA caliber. He's probably been their most consistent player (not their best) all year.

The team was never that good. The only reason they won the title was Murray got hot at the right time. Relying on a streaky (and injury-prone) player to get hot for you to win isn't a recipe for sustained success.

Without being held, Zu retains possession and Harden gets a three point play
