Clips, whose best player decided to rest after playing 31 minutes yesterday, lose by 1 to the Kings, whose best player gutted it out through injury.
You love to see it.
I'd take Fox over Kawhi at this point, at least he cares and competes.

I’m still not sold on Murray being a #2 option. And to be clear, this isn’t just a hot take for me based off this game, I’ve been pretty vocal on this for quite sometime. Murray has never even sniffed an all star game and that is playing alongside arguably the best facilitator in the game. If things don’t workout in these playoffs, if I were Denver I would try and use Murray and use all the possible 1st round picks to get a true #2 option.

I keep hoping that this will be the year that Dame goes to Portland management and asks to be traded and specifically to Denver and Portland grants his wish because of his service to the team.

Clearly our strategy is to beat the Clips by one point each time LMAO

Nothing but complaints about DEN sucking in the thread. You guys are hilarious.

Haha I mean I even criticize Jokic for these games where he doesn’t even shoot double digits. But I mean you can’t really argue with the results. They’re going to get a blowout win against the #2 seed and now be 25-0 with a Jokic triple double. I mean that speaks volumes

Dude doesn't know the meaning of pass. Don't think I've seen him pass all game.

Jokic is trash tonight, one of many bad games he had this season. His teammates are taking bad shots for three quarters yet he wont take shots himself.

He’s awesome on NBA2K23 but i see why the Nuggets tossed him. Jesus, he’s never seen a shot he doesn’t like.

Not gonna lie the Denver Nuggets are really good but idk or think they can play like this in the playoffs look at the last 3 years they no showed they got swept last season by PHX

Breaking: MPJ gets a hockey assist.

They’re not a threat until they acquire another All-Star level talent. And Jokic will be put in the PnR every trip down the floor in the Playoffs per usual.

Man!! Literally the same scenario as the last game, team up double digits with 4 minutes left and an insane comeback. Those refs had money on the clips tonight, idc what anyone says. I wanted to punch a wall LoL but they made up for it

In terms of taking what the game gives him and still dominating, I'm not sure I've ever seen better. I wish I could remember what it was, but Malone had a great phrase for it during another game recently.

He does make some frustratingly stupid decisions at times but he is mostly decent offensively..is quite skillful offensively..not a good defender though

Who wins?
