A dejavu moment: Batum vs Parsons who was the better SF in 2013?

Jokic is an all time great playing against 2 ATGs in Kawhi and older Harden, his team is much worse as evidenced by their RS performance.

It's very hard to win when your team is worse than the opponent's team.

But of course, you know this and you're just having fun which I respect

The majority on realgm say Jokic should be a 5 time MVP.

That 5 time MVP is in his prime.

He has help.

A top 10 all time player in his prime doesn't lose this series unless...

Anyhow, there's players outside the top 10 that would beat this Clippers team with Jokic's help. Hakeem would absolutely beat the Clippers with Jokic's help.

No he wouldn’t lol, this is just dumb. Really hoping you’re trolling or as the other poster said, ‘having fun’ lol

Just admit you didn't watch Hakeem in his prime.

He dominated both ends.

He went back to back with less help than Jokic, ripping apart all time centers in the process.

He'd murk this Clippers team.

Is this James “The System” Harden proving himself?

Agreed. This clippers team is good but nothing special.

Luka’s Dallas team from last year would absolutely drum this LAC team.

Lmao this is turning into an ugly game FAST. Turnovers, bricked FT’s, bad shots.

OkcSinceSGA · Post #450 » by **OkcSinceSGA** » Fri Apr 25, 2025 4:07 am

Clippers missing 4 FT in a minute then Jokic scores. 6 point swing. Can’t do nonsense like that.

DAJ playing minutes is like Udonis Haslem playing minutes prior to his retirement, straight up elderly abuse.

Flight 55!

And crap offensive call there, but Zu gotta be smarter.

Nice drive Klaw

I did watch him and no. This Clippers team would wreck Hakeem’s Rockets or this Nuggets team with him on it.

For half a season of Muscala? Who could say no!?

Probably shouldn’t have been a foul on Murray

Sheesh, crowd so loud that Lue wasn't being heard for the time out.

And clearly off Braun, Nico didn't even touch it

Is it possible that the League has simply figured out the Nuggets offense, considering it's usually two-man actions for 90% of the game? Not enough weakside man movement or quick hitters in the halfcourt?

The claw, got this game in the bag

I think it is just that the rest of the roster can't f#%king shoot. Like they shoot the 2nd lowest or lowest amount of 3s and you'd hope so when you see who is on that roster.

If/when MPJ is cold their spacing is trash.

Who wins?
