Lue kept Harden in with 2 fouls paid off big time

These first two games haven’t felt like playoff games.

Norman Powell with the goofy play of the day. 1st quarter edition

Murray pointing Harden to the left and he goes by him every time. Jokic isnt Olajuwon to block him and he already has one foul so he cant risk it. Why are they directing harden to the left ffs?

I didn't know till just now that Russell Westbrick now plays for Denver. That's a huge liability.

quick nico, get hired with denver and trade jokic for a banana. Ignore the entire team construct and issues.

It’s ok. The Garden will make up for that.

I've seen so many times this season he doesn't even try, just lets someone go right by and lay it up.

He is low effort player on defense.

Bro imagine 80s MJ in this game. He’d shoot damn near 95% at the rim lol.

Jamal is Spongebob out there on defense. I don't even know if they can send him anywhere else, no one is touching that contract. Sheesh.

Watson should be in instead of Russ first off the bench against this LAC rotation. Our best defender and has length ffs

Complete brain fart of a play, bench worthy for sure

Its kind of like edey in Purdue. He's too valuable on offense to risk fouls.

Im not saying that's a good strategy or that i agree... but that's what it looks like.

Hey Clippers fans, how much impact do you think JVG has had on the team this season as an assistant? Just curious, because I'd forgotten he was even there until they just showed him on TV a few minutes ago.

At times? This is who he has always been. Clippers putting him in all their offensive actions that’s the way to counter his greatness.

Not a clippers fan but id say big time. Defense is what makes them a really good team.

It's by design and has been the case always yes. Jokic never had any PF over 6ft8 start with him. EVER. So no help

Who wins?
