It’s ok. We’ll get next game.

Something wrong with Harden? He’s somewhere else. We might need to sit him asap.

Harden is destroying this Clippers team. His lack of defense and turnovers.

i used to really enjoy watching jokic play but i really can't ever, now.

the amount of blatant foul baiting and nonsense he's outputting is disgraceful.

also, this game feels like an example of one of the many RS nights we had where the team just was a little bit short on effort, defense, rebounding, and all the small things that mattered. like a blooper reel that could've been avoided. the energy might not just be there which is absurd cause everyone's well-rested.

Lue just put Harden and Bogi in the game at the same time. Lue is a horrible coach. Harden should be sitting

watching bogi play iso defense is like watching a child run into traffic. it's a god damn disaster.

every time around and it feels like he's an automatic foul or and-1 waiting to happen. it's absolutely absurd how many mistakes he makes with completely unnecessary fouls. like it's one thing to just get blown by or give up a dunk. it's another thing completely to foul and flail miserably and give up the extra points.

and as i say that he gets the ball in the paint and travels.

why is he on the court? it's absolutely incredible he's having his best game of the series and he's just giving it away either with miserable D, fouling, or turnovers.

Westbrook baiting Bogi and he fell for it.

WTF Zu? Grab that ebony don’t slap it out. Resulted in a 3.

Some really dumb plays.

Hopefully Harden doesn’t enter the game again.

This is the worst performance by the Clippers. They are getting embarrassed.

Can't say I remember a game where it seems every loose ball goes against us. We had so many balls go off our hands and end up in Denver's for a bucket.

We have been destroying them in the 4th over the series, so let's keep that up.

bogi and his infinite foul rate giving other team ft's (again)

how does a guard have 5 fouls with an entire 10 minutes left to play? in 18 minutes? i'm not interested in calling him trash but we can certainly call ty lue's decision to deploy him as such.

Turning it off. No need to panic. We got game 6 right. We got them right where we want them.

The team bouncing from its ceiling in game 3 way too hard. Like there is no bottom to bounce again.

I really hate that we're going to be stuck sitting through even more seasons of this failed era because Ballmer is too timid to make any changes and has sunk-cost fallacy with the picks. We are legitimately in the worst position of any team in the league and it's not even close. A roster of 35-year-olds who can't win a playoff series anymore, the worst front office and second-worst coach in the league, and an owner who just wants to stay on the treadmill of mediocrity.
