Jokic is fuming he knows the Nuggets should be more in control of this game.

Don’t they have like 16 points on the break? It’s been elite

Denver shooting 50%

At some point Clippers shots will start to fall

No guarantee of that. The NBA has tons of blowouts now precisely because some teams just have games where the are ice cold. Houston's shooting was atrocious due to that.

Meanwhile, the NBA refs will keep it close for them. Tale as old as time.

Westbrook is such a toxic player to watch man. Yeah he hit some shots but he's such a momentum killer. How are you a PG and you dont know how to value possession?

I seriously believe he does it cause he hopes guys start hitting and it'll help their confidence. He lets Murray go rogue too at times. I wish he had a little Kobe/ MJ in him where he would say "f*** this. gimme the damn ball every time"

I hope there are some better teams in the west than these two teams. Both teams have too many flaws to beat a team like Boston. :wizard:

They've messed up at least five possessions trying to rush shots before the Clippers defense gets set. Sure, if you got a bucket, take it, but they're taking some horrible shots.

You sure that was a shooting foul, Tyler?

Dude… this is the problem. Jokic can’t really score on Zu… but with Zu out the paint Nuggets get a TON of second chances. Lue needs to counter that by playing two bigs and sliding Kawhi to SF

Yes I get it he wants to help everyone and their confidence, but he overdoes it at his own expense

Jokic literally can’t take Zu 1 on 1. Crazy to see for a player as historic as him. He’s getting stifled without switches

Harden 3 then a dime to Kawhi !

Who wins?
