Looks like the same old Denver team we've seen all season
No defense, offense is clueless without Jokic

Time out! Lue is panicked! He needs a bathroom break! Jokic will come in and come back!

Denver is just a disaster on O when Jokic isn't on the floor. It's so sad.

We all like to bash Westbrook and he does deserve it most of the time but how is Simmons still getting minutes in the playoffs in 2025? Actually forget playoffs I have no idea how he's still in the league.

yep. and harden is on the bench, so there's really no excuse. that clippers offense without harden is really quite predictable

Playoff Kawhi. Its a different beast.

These guys drink smoothies in their post game interviews after L's too so you cant expect too much professionalism.

Can't decide which is worse right now. Bucks or Nuggets. Both former champs with superstar bigs

the clippers ignoring russ would be funny if denver wasn't ignoring simmons more. he doesn't even kinda look at the basket.

Heliocentric players need backup heliocentric players.

You ideally want a system to play offense that doesn't change too drastically when a single player sits.

Maybe Nuggets should try get Jaylin Williams as a backup to Jokic. Not as good clearly but still capable of running some similar actions.

Who wins?
