? OR

Guess we'll know in 3 hours.

Clips will have had four full days rest. Pat Bev hopefully will be back.

Clips in 5 - I don't think Nugs or Jazz will be much of an opponent with so many of our players hitting on all cylinders.

Looking like it's gonna be Denver...they're up big early.

We have our hands full defensively if it's them.
Lots of fire power everywhere in that offense.

Their defense sucks, though. It seems like the Mavs series all over again.

I saw somewhere that Zubac allows 4th lowest FG% at the rim.
that is pretty good for a 23 year old that makes $7m a year.

I'm not gonna dog Zu. You can read about it here.

Is Ivica Zubac actually one of the best rim protectors in the NBA? Is Marcus Morris the player who ties everything together? Can Kawhi Leonard and Paul George thrive together? Are the Clippers unstoppable in the clutch?

Gobert went from garbage to completely dominating this game, wow.

This game feels like a time warp back to 2004.

So it's Denver.

Let's rock and roll!

Read on Twitter

The last time Clippers drew them in the playoffs was in 2006. With Elton Brand and Sam Cassell, they won their first playoff series in 30 years, but more importantly, their first playoff series win in the west coast.

Will the magic repeat? Did the Clippers just draw a lucky charm team that ensures them a conference finals appearance?

I am ready to see Trez guarding Jokic in the paint.

Lol. This is definitely a Zubac series just like last rd.

Wild ending to Jazz Nuggs. Hope OKC Hou is the same type of game tomorrow.

Vegas believes.. .Nuggies are 6 point dogs.

donemilio21 · Post #14 » by **donemilio21** » Wed Sep 2, 2020 4:09 am

we could use Bev against Murray right about now. I hope he is back at least by game 2.

Nuggets are a worse defensive team than the Mavericks from the looks of it

they are 6 point underdogs apparently- that the Clippers are favored to win by 6 points I suppose in game 1

I guess this series is why the Clippers brought in Noah. He may have to play 5-10 minutes a game. Zubac does a decent job, but he can't play the whole game and Harrell has no chance against him. I wish they had Boban in this series- I remember Boban giving Jokic a lot of trouble.

Clips in 5.

6 at most.

means vegas expects clips to win by 6 points.

the caveat to that though is it's not vegas that determines the line in an arbitrary way. it's the amount of money that goes into vegas that shifts the line around. so it'll move depending on the amount of betting occurring.
