WB is a 50% ft shooter. AG playing injured, Murray playing sick, Jokic playing non-stop in the second half - why give them a breather? not to mention, there was a clear foul lol


I think they think that Westbrook traveled on his initial move.


he did but (and stepped out of bounds) but that can't be reviewed, no?

If he hits 1-2 more threes it’s the Norm game.

PG13 should be watching this series in total shame and embarrassment. They aren't missing a beat without the guy

Can't lay around and whine about a hit / non call in the playoffs. MPJ needs to grow up a bit.

Dunn is all over the place. He definitely deserves an All-Defense selection.

The combined basketball IQ of players not named Jokic on the Nuggets is less than 100.

If he was playing half the way he was during the regular season, this wouldn't be a tight series.

Stormin Norman !!!

Rooting for The Clips to win, mainly because of Kawhi. Just an amazing game of playoff Hoops.
