21/5/5 in the half with great defense.

KD sure doesn't look like a superstar to me anymore either.

They are attacking the rim and getting hacked ! Also jokic is always elbowing and hitting and no fouls

Are they gonna score all 94 from the free throw line ?

No formula is spread the floor with shooters, go at rim hard, and not play Shamet

They had to average like 65 on 68ts VS a Clips team w/o Kawhi and Pg to barely beat them :lol: :lol:

Jokic has to give up the team first play in the 2nd half. Going to have to put up 15+ shots in the next half. The others just aren’t doing enough.

Not surprised at all with the score so far tonight. I'm still picking the Suns to win the West.

KD's shooting like 20% from the field with 21 points at half. I love to see it.

Booker is unstoppable though. 0 FT's and has 27 on 12-15. This man has become a true killer. I actually would have loved their chances in this series with their previous KD trade roster (forget forgoing their future and all trade assets). Mikal could have almost fully neutralized KD in his current form.

It’s hard to beat the refs. They’ve made it clear.
