They have former Clippers great Deandre Jordan.

He'll be lucky to get 13 secs on the floor

Ty Lue needs to stop getting cute with rotations. And he should call more plays for Kawhi.

Was just thinking the same and he made it too. The Nuggets are refusing to take 3s for some reason.


A wide open corner three is better than two free throws for a few players, including Westbrook.

All in all a pretty classic “playoff style” game. Low scoring, mistakes, Russ playing like ass, big runs by both teams, close game.

Jokic has to flop. I don’t blame him. The league lets Zubac foul him and don’t call anything.

Isn’t the Jamal Murray contract worse than the Bradley Beal contract considering the longevity of Murray’s contract?

After the injuries he’s had, Murray is never ever gonna be the same playoff big performer he was in the past. That was obvious last playoffs and all of this season too.

His stats are pretty similar to that of Beal.

Jokic gotta leave Denver.

Any franchise that signs/trades for Westbrook is not serious about winning a championship.
