Of course he’s doing it against Denver. He couldn’t do it against Golden State though when he was in his prime.


And yet Harden's teams were the closest teams in beating Gstate. If he "choked" then the rest of the league died lol

Winning these minutes with Zubac on the bench is big.

Nuggets playing like they are going to have a really bad 4th quarter and LAC will run away with it

Fingers crossed. Hopefully it's Wesbrook vs Simmons.

they kinda have no choice, Bogi is scared ****, Powell has the most experience with the group and can get hot in an instant

Powell hasn't been hot since his injury


True, but if theyre gonna be a threat, they need him to figure it out

Better to have a player whose rusty off injury than a player like Bogi who mentally cant play right and is alot worse on defense

Why has Kawhi sat for half of the quarter when he was looking so dominant?

Simmons is playing a lot better. His speed seems to be close to his pre-injury levels. The defense and the passing is exactly what these Clippers have needed

Batum should be playing 25 mpg this series or more. I said it before game 1. How many times do I need to be right?
