2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 LA Clippers (Series tied 2-2)

Kawhi can’t handle AG in the post

I mean, hard to handle anyone in the post when you get called for pulling someone down when all you do is pull the chair.

No doubt Fun Guy will adjust tho

[Wolfgang630]

Someone spiked Kawhi’s drink with Gatorade?

[Tomhomes33]

Clippers don't match Nuggets energy and are somewhat un-inspired.
Nuggets cant capitalize on that
Both teams can kick themselves in the ass.
Clippers for coming out without urgency
Nuggets for having only few points lead (hello Murray)
Still this kinda of game favours Jokic

[LeBronSpaghetti]

Jamal is having the type of game where he goes 5/20 but hits the game winner

[ejftw]

Bogi is useless out there, can't hit open shots again.

Please play Jordan, Cam or Amir

[scrabbarista]

Honestly Mike Malone was right.
If they’d spent the season developing the bench they’d be a 7 or 8 seed and those guys would still suck and you’d have wasted a prime Jokic season.
Booth just didn’t do a good enough job and the cheap owners don’t help.

No, he was wrong. I'd rather be 7-8 with developed players than 4 without them. And they might even have been on the better side of the brackett in that case.

I fking hate this roster. This bench screws joker over all the time and they’re gonna lose again because of it and Murray.

We have ATGs stuck on terrible teams. Milwaukee and Denver are wasting ATG players careers. And these guys aren't mere HOFers.

At least Giannis has had a teammate make the ASG. Even now he has Dame (kinda).

Jokic's a whole other story.

I'm curious how Dame would look with Jokic. I always felt if Denver hadnt won a title that they should try and acquire Lillard or Kyrie in place of Murray. But then they won and management thought Murray was fine to roll with.

[LeBronSpaghetti]

Lmao Batum selling out for that one

[Zeno]

Is Hornets Batum fell that way, he would have literally bounced right back up and got back onto the bench.

[JustBuzzin]

Dunn is a liability.

[Mk0]

AG just falling whenever he feels contact.

[ejftw]

TNT crew really that ignorant that they showed the wrong Poly HS jersey?

And glad Nico and Porter are good there. Good sportsmanship by Batum

[ITYSL]

Aside from the fouls, I've been impressed by Simmons. Everywhere on defense. Still a liability as a scorer of course, but a willing screener and good playmaker. Diving after loose balls.

[jokeboy86]

Gordon really knows how to seal, which unfortunately has become a lost art since everybody wants to face up and dribble

[Chuck Everett]

Zubac is really keeping a lot of possessions alive on the offensive glass.

[ejftw]

AG just falling whenever he feels contact.

Must've studies Nikola's Game2 tape

[Mk0]

Dunn is a liability.

Eh, he is only shooting slightly worse than Murray but he plays defense and rebounds.

[Tracymcgoaty]

Wtf is that between Norms eyes? Looks like a bullet lodged in there.

[Mk0]

and the ref waits to see if the shot goes before calling the foul on MPJ. Harden's arm was held as he went up.

And this has to be the first time in my life I complained about Harden NOT getting a whistle. Damn you refs. DAMN YOU.

[Chuck Everett]

Wtf is that between Norms eyes? Looks like a bullet lodged in there.

Last season, he took an elbow from Jalen Duren that split him open.
