2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 LA Clippers (DEN leads 1-0)

[Chuck Everett]

So you wanted him to pick up one before he got his three? people commenting don't know anything about the game ffs. Jok contests as much as he can without fouling, it's been the team defensive plan for years. It's on the POA defender and rotations after that. That's THE defensive game plan for Denver and for a good reason, which is keeping Jok on the floor

Well, if the Clippers are going to have zero resistance at the rim the entire series, you can't be shocked if the Nuggets lose. Contesting at the rim, doesn't mean fouling.

You're still not getting it bro

If you say so. They have the worst defensive rating of all the playoff teams (coming into the playoffs). Yes, they obviously need him for offense I understand that, but you can't forgo the need to get stops as well. And he's playing better defense in the 2nd half, with three fouls. Go figure.

Why did Harden stop spamming PNR after the 1st qtr?

[Lala870]

Jamal is 3-12 lol

The best part is if the Nuggets win he will go in front of the media acting like he willed the team to a win

“I motivated my guys”

I can see it now SMH

I mean honestly... he's being aggressive and that's certainly worth something, since the nuggets need him to do it. They're cooked if he doesn't try and at least he's trying (and sometimes actually making it in spectacular fashion)

[Tomhomes33]

Simmons back in..omg

5 point swing there. I'm always surprised when Jokic misses the easy ones.

[Dennis Reynolds]

Oh Jokic

Hes just way too smug in the media. Those that follow the post games in Denver know what were talking about lol

[JimmyPlopper]

Unpopular opinion: I'm really glad to see Ben Simmons out here playing important minutes again.

[kazyv]

harden didn't get the call and all was right in the world

[Lala870]

Some people were saying Batum was going to be huge in this series?

[Chuck Everett]

Gotta make that basket, Braun. You're not gonna get an easier shot in the lane.

[2weekswithpay]

Another missed layup. Harden can't contest so keeping his man at the rim is smart offense.

[Patches Perry]

Nuggets have missed so many little bunnies at the rim.

[Dennis Reynolds]

Oh Braun

[Revived]

I honestly think if I played in the NBA with Jokic, he can probably make me look like an NBA player.

Not some spectacular role player, but average end of bench kinda guy. Like same tier as Bronny probably.

But only Jokic could do it.

[scrabbarista]

How do all the players, all of the crowd, and all of the announcers see the ball go out, but the people who are paid to don't see it?

Really makes you wonder...

[LeBronSpaghetti]

Holy smokes CB… there misses bunnies from the nuggets in the last 5 mins or so

[Muskies97]

Nuggets really got like 4 good players lol

[JimmyPlopper]

Nuggets really got like 4 good players lol

And Jokic is at least two of them lol
