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

Is Denver's guards always this bad?

Is this Kawhi better than Jokic?

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.

Both Jordan and Pickett being in a playoff rotation is wild

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.

The plus / negative is huge when Jokic is off the floor

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.
