Because these teams just feel that evenly matched in ways

vs

Murray
Braun
MPJ
AG
Jokic

My guess defensively for Denver is Braun on Harden, Murray on Dunn, MPJ on Powell, AG on Kawhi and Jokic on Zu.

Clippers defensive matchup: Harden on MPJ, Dunn on Murray, Powell on MPJ, Kawhi on AG, Zu on Jokic.

Thoughts?

Harden and Powell both on MPJ, Braun got missed. Which one do you think takes Braun?

Look for the immediate AG low post iso spam and four out with Jok Murray top of the key and CB/MPJ opposite corners

In real time ESPN odds Nuggets are favored 55% to 45% currently for game 1. Clippers HAVE to win one of first two obviously.

I'd even go as far as to say they need to win four out of seven!

I just more mean this isn't a team you can go down 2-0 to IMO. If you don't split one of the first two you're probably cooked.

Nuggets never show up on early games

LAC up 3-1 didn't go so well 5 years ago either

No tshirts for the fans on the seats? Denver already conceding this game.

Yep. Nuggets usually are bad in these early games. Clippers should be favorite to win game 1.

Unless it's Lakers we like to give them a chance.

OK thankfully on to an exciting game now (hopefully)!!

Clippers seem like the favorite to me, but Joker is the great equalizer.

Who wins?
