Is watching Jokic carry your team not doing something? The guy has the best seat in the house


There is a contingent on here who think Murray is an all-NBA player player. His play this series isn't close to it.

Clippers gotta go on a run as soon as Jokic rests.

Clips will have a chance to make a run during the non Jokic minutes. They better turn it up a notch this is embarrassing.

Ok Joker gets 2 minutes rest in the 4th or if the lead gets cut to 10 then he comes in. Whichever happens first.

Murray is shooting like trash but at least he's picking it up in other facets of the game.

I don't think he is sitting again. Isn't the end of the 3rd usually when he rests?
I think Denver knows this series is over if they don't win this one.

Honestly WB being injured may help them because there's no pressure to play him. And kudos to Adelman for basically pulling the bad bench players as soon as they look bad and immediately putting the starters back in. Dont know if its sustainable because they cant all play 40+ minutes

Great finish to the quarter by the Nuggets, Jokic in particular. Huge.

Sieman and Jackson are hilarious, arguing if that was a rookie move by Harden :lol:

When you think about it the Clippers are kind of old. Thats why I wouldnt necessarily take them over OKC either. OKC might run them off the court too.

He is playing some solid man defense. Harden is getting locked up by Denver as a team
