Honestly, I'm just happy to see the Nuggets win the series. The Nuggets are a likable team and i wouldn't be devastated if they beat the LA.

Kawhi sucked. George was worse than Gallinari would have been.

Doc was bad but he didn't play the game, the players did. Ill never understand how you blame players when Paul George was throwing...shooting the ball off the edge of the backboard and Kawhi just couldn't do anything.

Doc single-handedly blew Games 5 and 6 with his abysmal rotations. Yes, Kawhi and PG were bad tonight, but it shouldn't have even gotten to this point.

Doc is probably the fall guy though, I don't see any other major moves they can make.

That's the truth, I'll be way happier with either the Lakers or the Nuggets than these Clippers.

Pretty sure LAC let the game swing by >30 points in all three of the last games at one point in the 4th quarter.
But in his home dwelling...the hi-top faded warrior is revered. *Smack!* The sound of his palm blocking the basketball... the sound of thousands rising, roaring... the sound of "get that sugar honey iced tea outta here!"

Unbelievable that MTV's hate of Doc willed this into existence.

I just wish Denver could have like a couple extra days to rest up, I'm really interested to see LA/Denver but don't want wear & tear to play a factor

This absolutely hurts Kawhi, no way around it. That’s as bad of a performance from a top 5 player in an elimination game that I can remember.

He’s clearly no LeBron, that’s for sure.

This is the first game i saw end to end most of the others ones ive dropped in and out

They litwrally didnt run an offense and defended with like the 0 iq strategy of doubling jokic at the worst times because they wanted to keep harrell on the floor who contributed nothing lol

Lakers are this year's Warriors, the series is a huge mismatch. Love this Denver team, but if they win 1 game it'll be a good achievement.

Hmm, maybe they could sell it, but where and for what?

LeBron is the best or second best Game 7/elimination game player of all time, behind Bill Russell who played like a million Game 7s. Kawhi does not stack up. At all.

Man that felt good. I don't have much else to say right now :o Cool seeing jokic show emotion over the last few games too.

Don’t think we should keep dismissing the Nuggets. They’ve proven that they’re never out of a game or a series in general.

Not sure.

I don't know if they would after what they gave up for him.

Only plausible trade would be for Embiid perhaps? But they still need a PG.

I almost see him as a worse player. That was horrendous.
