Did Harden just dribble down 20 seconds of click and not even get a shot off? Really?

We’ll get game 6 am I right?

Harden with a trash first quarter. He was bad on offense and lazy on defense. I just dont think he has the want to win. He is just so lackluster in so many minutes of a game.

don't usually complain about refs but it feels pretty apparent which way this is gonna go.

that "goaltend" that had to be reviewed was so blatantly obviously not, and one might almost think they took extra time to see if they could finagle it denver's way.

regardless, shot quality disparity is really bad right now. defense is just bad. i didn't think bogi was any good kind of defender but he's been a nightmare on that end all series. dunn's gonna be hot and cold but you can't start playing him differently cause he had one bad game. seems like lue mighta overreacted because of last game, and the wheels fell off on the defensive side as a result.

Westbrook pouring salt in the sound. Awesome.

He has been a legendary playoff choke artist his entire career, pretty much as bad as PG in that regard, so I don't know why anyone's surprised. One of the biggest reasons why I was against trading for him in the first place.

He has the want but pressure has got to him. That's why he often chokes in the playoffs as dude can not handle pressure.

If we played Bogi more we'd be up in the series. Unfortunately he has the shortest leash

He's been unplayably bad all series. If anything, his leash has been way too long and he should have been long since benched for Coffey by now.

almost every player on Denver is a flopper.

Wacky game so far.. Russ and Murray going off.. Jokic hanging back and puttering.

Kawhi with 5 assists, Harden with 1.

Bogi going off

If he played 22-25 mins a game we'd be up in the series. When he plays 12-15 mins you don't get much from him. If you ever watched his games you'd know

So many missed fts the last few games.

Down 8 and it feels like 30.

clipperlover · Post #37 » by **clipperlover** » Wed Apr 30, 2025 3:25 am

Still hanging around. If you look at the stats, they are playing fairly even right now.

There's been like three of those this series. Maybe he's just actually still a decent player and Lue's "system" made him look worse than he is.
