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

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

Read on Twitter

I mean it is it LA, the same place Will Smith slapped somebody then got awarded and a standing ovation 10 minutes later

[HotRocks34]

Good to see that Denver came to play but IMO they have to up their energy level if they expect to stay close in the second half.

[Mamba Mentality]

People asking for ejections are soft as hell.

[megarover]

I am so glad no one got tossed. Would have been lame and a major overreaction.

[Wolfgang630]

This is big for Denver is how many minutes does Jokic play in the second half? He’s about 20 minutes now. I think he plays the whole 3rd. Sits for like 2ish minutes on the 4th and gets back in.

Jamal needs to be VASTLY better.

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

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

Going by the rules they created, yes. Be consistent is all im asking. Some scrub on the bench does that and they would toss him out immediately.

I can't remember the last time I've seen a playoff team like Denver that has so few NBA-caliber players.

Zubac 9-6-3 at the half

Dude powell ran right in front of him out of nowhere. It wasn't even a fist he was flailing his hands.

[CIN-C-STAR]

WTH did Jokic get a tech for?

Only thing I've ever seen worse than this with an ATG is KG and Minnesota. They at least had the excuse that they lost all those draft picks for something that happens all the time.

This Denver team is legit 25 wins without Jokic.

[Michael Jackson]

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

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

That never happens if he doesn't overreact. Harden shoved him lightly and he blows his lid. lol

Zubac is a really good player

Remember Jokers first MVP or was it second MVP? When he had Facu Campazzo and Will Barton?
