I just checked the game log. At the 8:27 mark of Q3, the Clippers reached a 73-57 lead. So the rest of the way, they were outscored 54-25.

Ouch.

Is that the moment when they put in Harrell and can't get a good PnR offense going, or when Playoff P got them flashbacks of Dame slaying him? :lol:

Serious question: Why are Clippers considered more talented than Nuggets?

The Rockets were the worst matchup for the Lakers by far. Now I can't say.

The Lakers and LeBron could make Clippers cry by the end of the Regular season no matter how hard and how badly the Clips wanted it... I don't even want to get to how they really need a floor manager. They have no leader and no good playmaker.

Denver does look real good though lately and also seem like they have another gear. Their players are also fearless and don't fold under pressure.

Who are the refs? Grand Moff Silver needs the fix big time to make up for lost revenue. Kane Fixgerald couldn't get it done in game 6.

Funny how the Nuggets can supposedly be a strong test while their defeat is a forgone conclusion by OP

Has anyone on the nuggets come out and said they need to do a better job of managing the flow of the game? You cant expect to be successful if you're always coming back from down 15.

Nuggets need a much better start now if they want to win...Can't be down by over 15 points and expect the clippers to choke for a 3rd game in a row.

Id love to see Nuggets win against the Clippers, but im having a hard time seeing the Clippers missing out on WCF with Kawhi on their team. Clippers take this, but id be glad to be wrong.

Nuggets win: Nuggets vs. Lakers WCF; 1st meeting since 2009 when it was Melo vs. Kobe

Clippers win: Clippers vs. Lakers WCF; Battle for LA bragging rights; Kawhi vs. LeBron III

What's weird is that the Nuggets' top star was supposed to be fat and out of shape, yet they're the team with the furious comebacks.

But then, a team that plays in Mile High City was probably always in better shape than people recognized.

I don't expect the Nuggets to win this, but the way the Clippers have treated this season and this series in particular has been shameful and they deserve to lose.

Will be interesting if they lose, how cool they will be with all the load managing going forward. I guess they don’t have a choice, Kawhi will do what he wants or leave.

Yeah, my twitter feed is now full of handegg comments, memes and videos, so I'm going to unfollow all those accounts.

Handegg is so boring.
