Clippers playing so bad, yet it's only a 2-point game. Nuggets screwing around.

Booth should be ashamed of how bad of a roster he built around Jokic.
Other than KG in Minnesota, I've never seen a worse GMing job.

Refs aren’t calling any damn fouls (for either team). I kinda like it. Tons of physicality.

Murray playing like he's drunk.
DAJ existing on the court.
Jokic on the bench.
Kawhi on fire.
Game 2 Harden on the bench.
Perfect recipe for a lead vaporizing. Like New Orleans gumbo.

Don’t worry. When Norm comes back Denver can start a 12-0 run

If Norman Powell and Bogdanovic weren't completely useless Denver would be in trouble.

You just have to force him to give the ball up.
Jokic, on the other hand, can beat you with a shot or a pass.
