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.

No he always plays the whole third then sits in the 4th. He can’t sit for long. Only 2 minutes then his ass is back in the game at the 10 minute mark

Not an ideal time for Playoff Harden to rear his ugly head.

This is the game from Jokic ive been pleading for. F your teammates go get 40. The clippers are good but not some insurmountable force. Jokic can absolutely beat them.

Kawhi needs to get his head out of his ass too, that’d be great

I wouldn't rest him to start the quarter. Try to knock out em in the first 4 minutes.

Gordon reaggrevated his calf, Murray is playing hurt, Porter can barely move his shoulder. GTFO these guys look fine. It was all a ploy for the Clips to take them lightly…which clearly worked.

I’m basically at the point where I think you can hand Jokic a roster that doesn’t have a single starter for another team and zero coaching staff. And that team would still make the playoffs every year
