If not the Nuggets, who can actually beat the Lakers in a 7 game series? We already know the Thunder can’t, Rockets are too young, inexperienced and got the beat down from the lakers in their most recent match up. Clippers we know Kawhi will get injured by the time the series starts. Who else?

Clippers missing bunnies and getting hosed by the refs. They should have double digit lead going into the half.

Well, at least Westbrook was willing to take that shot. Murray has passed up some good looks.

I bet there are athletes that drink far more than Jokic in the offseason. Harden, George, Draymond, Edwards etc just name a few.

These refs are like shut up we're making you lose just take it.

Terrible mistakes by the Clippers kept Nuggets in the game.

Because there's nothing more useless than a first quarter lead.
