Multiple terrible turnovers in the 4th Q of both games for Harden. Just throwing the ball away for nothing.

Likewise. I like that he wanted the shot too.

I never want to hear about Jokic’s trash teammates and supporting cast again

Same EXACT thing. Turnovers and not boxing out

Jokic hit damn near all of those fadeaways against AD.

Underrated coaching decision by Adelman by benching Russ and putting back MPJ for the closing minutes. This is what everyone has been saying.

From a neutral observer - clippers getting hosed by refs. Denver every call it’s ridiculous

uh, what the hell are you talking about?

If the Nuggets 2-15 was close to LAC, this would be an 8 point game
