2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 LA Clippers (Series tied 2-2)

[Decipher]

I don’t want the nuggets bench to play at all tbh

Their bench is -19

[jokeboy86]

For as awful as the Denver front office has been to built a supporting cast around Jokic, they did hit the Jackpot when drafting Braun.

Sometimes these teams overthink it by passing on the solid college player. They automatically assume that any player that stays more than 2 years in college cant be as good as the younger players who possibly have more upside even though a lot of them never reach it.

[Tomhomes33]

Man if Clippers let Jokic bck into the series..they might pay the highest price\nuggets with double digit lead lol

[Mamba Mentality]

Nugget injuries were exaggerated to say the least.

[Tracymcgoaty]

So what is the consensus worst state in US?

I have coworkers from all over the US and the one thing they have in common is saying horrbile things about Missouri

I have never been and I know the sample size is next-to-nothing but it has always stuck with me. It was always someone just unpromted talking about how much they hate that state. I have no idea why.

Missouri is down south right? Im not from the US but if i had to guess i'd say the worst state is probably somewhere down south.

[scrabbarista]

This might be the biggest lead the nuggets have had against the clippers this whole series lol

It is. Sieman said it as soon as it happened.

I’d rather run the starters into the ground at this point lol

[CobraCommander]

Nuggets just need to blow it up. Build around Jokic and Gordon. This team looks so cooked.

Would Jokic wanna be there if they go rebuild mode?

I wouldn't call it rebuild. Main thing is just getting off of Murray's and MPJ's contracts and spreading that money around for players that can defend.

Murray and picks for Booker-

[ejftw]

Lue with the genius ATO exploiting Denver's lack of switching on D, then a great finish by Board Man to get the three point play

[AmIWrongDude]

Kawhi is STURDY

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Imagine the clippers letting the Denver nuggets be up 11 when the nuggets have ONLY 2 POINTS from their bench

They need to play their starters rest of this game. Non-Jokic minutes is like having an NCAA team out there

[ejftw]

Ah yes, it's an even number game so Nicole is back on the court

[RB34]

I see Nicole is back to his flopping ways

Complaining about flopping with Harden on your squad is diabolical.

Defending disgusting flopping by Nicole Jobitch because of who is on the other team is on the level of any Bushism, if not worse

You would think they would even out and you’d be happy with that. Sounds like you want to turn a blind eye to your guy and complain about them. Wild.

[CobraCommander]

Kawhi shouldn’t play any regular season games - that’s the only way he can make it through the playoffs

[Zeno]

What percentage of Clippers buckets have been on Murray?

[Jasen777]

So what is the consensus worst state in US?

Mississippi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi

I was gonna say Mississippi but didn’t want to offend anyone from there lol

I'm not saying it's true, just that it's probably the closest to a consensus opinion.

[Chuck Everett]

Is Murray going to do something?

Weird, show me a compilation of Harden doing what a Nicole did in G2, and the last few plays he's gotten away with.

Wild.

[Domz]

Feels like no matter how close the Clips cut into DEN's lead, they can't make that one or two shots to take the lead.

[Wolfgang630]

Is Murray going to do something?

Yeah, but not something positive.
