Clippers have looked considerably better than Denver through the first 7 halfs and I suspect they'll win this game.

Harden and Gordon are the only guy that should have gotten a tech.

All that because Harden got butthurt over a weak foul 50 feet from the basket.

Jokic really gonna rot in denver with Jamal being his running mate? Even Giannis has had better supporting cast around him.

How do you not eject harden. Not closed fists so no fragrant according to the ref. I guess you can slap players no problem.

Refs finally got it right. Huge overreaction by Haden to a common foul and then huge overreaction by Gordon to a shove. Let em play. Don't ruin a playoff game with soft ejections

Anyways, it feels like Clips should be down by closer to a dozen, it only being two.

Going to be interesting to see which coach is able to get his team composed in the locker room for the start of the third.

It’s a formality. They are just giving techs to players in the middle so they don’t escalate **** later in the game to get thrown out

I’m more than okay with how the refs handled this

Bad half by Clippers, lucky they are down only 2.
They must clean their play and keep cool.
Nuggets are desperate for a win, close game, dirty game, everything favours them

You people wanting Gordon tossed for that are soft as hell!

Give me a break man that wasn't no damn punch.

We have a two point game at the half of a pivotal game 4. Murray has been godawful and Dunn has missed a million open looks. Don't miss this second half.

Last thing I want to hear about is how a team got lucky over an election for a whole series. Good work refs

Same reason I guess Murray didn't get ejected in G2 or Jokic didn't get called for a flagrant for elbowing a defenseless aerial player
