2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 LA Clippers (Series tied 1-1)

[CIN-C-STAR]

Besides Kawhi being incredible, Denver’s transition defense has been awful.
Need to clean that up. Even when they’re back they aren’t getting out on shooters.

[Mamba Mentality]

Healthy Kawhi is the greatest playoff performer I’ve ever watched in my life. Dude is unguardable.

[GuyverX]

Kawhi with no knee problems would have been in the GOAT discussion.

I think most of the criticisms of MPJ are fair but he did show some aggression in the 1st quarter.

[Sharkboy242]

You lose so many years off your life watching Denver games. It feels like they’re always close

I blame my grey hairs on this

[jokeboy86]

Kawhi is still that dude. Jokic vs Kawhi is hands down the most compelling first round match up.

And you wouldnt know it because only Lebron/Lakers and Steph exist to the national media in these playoffs. If they go out early they'll start freaking out again

[Tracymcgoaty]

Kawhi trying to drop an NBA classic! Jokic embarrassed by Zu’s defense and Kawhi takes over

Why are we talking like Jokic is being single covered lol. He's literally being swarmed by 3 clippers as soon as he's in the paint.

Plenty of possessions he’s been stifled by Zu.

Which ones? Aside from that contested three. He's taken 6 shots and is 3-6.

He's literally being swarmed everytime.

[SpurNani]

Call me crazy just like I said I'll take a healthy Brandon Roy over Wade, I'll take a healthy Kawhi over Durant any day

I hope thats a Joke, Boy.

I mean I think you know who he trained and worked out with...

When he gets deep post sure. But until he’s under the basket he hasn’t been able to move Zu or get any favorable position at all. 2 of those 3 makes were bailout outside jumpers.

Zu has also taken him in the block and scored on 2 hook shots 1 on 1.

And Game 3 is going to be on NBAtv. Makes so much sense nba

[Chuck Everett]

Westbrook shouldn't have 8 shots in a half. If he takes 16 shots, not sure how Denver can win this game. He's not doing enough intangibles stuff. He's just shot hunting too much.

Its not. I saw Roy. Ask Ron Artest or look up what Kobe thought of Roy.

Salutations my astute Fam,

Nugget Power! Mile High Might! We Shall Prevail!

Russ is a symptom of the GMing. He actually is a decent option in that rotation which is a massive indictment of this roster.

Norm, Bogi and Flight 55 are a combined 2-16

Smh

Also Brian Sieman needs to be on the mic in the finals.

[Raps in 4]

LeBron and Steph are lucky Kawhi is made of glass. The last decade would have looked a lot different with him playing regularly. Peak Kawhi is easily up there with those two in terms of impact.
