  1. LAC is doing good job with pressuring Jokić. They got him doubled almost every time when he gets balls which means there is no easy layups for him. Of course that opens space for Jokić to find someone with pass, but betting on Denver 3pt shoot is much smarter than letting Jokić to play 1v1 near basket.

    Potentially problem from Denver could be Bogdanović. He played these 2 games like random player from second Serbian division. He is someone how can easily drop 10-15 if he score first/second shoot and get hot.

  2. As much as Leonard was in his bag tonight, THAT was not the reason we lost this game

    We’ve gotten our asses handed to us, but time and time again we lose because we get in our own way. Turning the ball over 18 times and missing 8 FT is abysmal.

    Nuggets in 6

  3. Disappointed we didn’t have a better adjustment to Jokic getting so many bodies, which was predictable. Hope to see a better plan next game

  4. Absolutely awful loss. But it can be a learning experience. They need to watch game tape and actually learn where they went wrong. Game 1 they managed to beat them making similar mistakes but game 2 the clippers just had the edge

  5. I fell asleep during the game and just woke up. After seeing the results, Im glad lol. Nuggets in 7

  6. What the fuck is Braun doing he better not fucking start next game that fucking hillbilly garbage version of Austin reaves bitch tryna be tough by doin illegal screens holy shit

  7. Had to take a timeout there i dont want Braun shooting last 3 🙁 . They say series doesn’t start until you win on a road well it just started fuck. Huge L and should have been a win we sold

  8. Going to say something crazy, but I think Zeke should get those PWAT minutes to see if his sheer length coming as a help defender on Leonard would help affect the shot

  9. This fanbase is unbelievebly spoiled. Find another 300 pounder center that can play 43 minutes for you. Let alone need to do and organize everything. The question you should ask is that why can’t you have a backup center on the roster that can let him breathe one single minute in the second half of the game. Then he may be more effective at the end of the game.

  10. 21 points conceded off 20 turnovers, 14-22 FT – was a very winnable game even with Kawhi going off : (

  13. They really need to double kawhi anytime he has the ball. Don’t care if dunn is left wide open.

  14. Jokic played the entire 2nd half, need to rest him at least 2-3 minutes at the start of the 4th

  15. When we’re down 3 Braun has to shoot with the same confidence as when we’re up 1. I don’t know how he passed up that first wide open look.

    Also on Jokic’s turnover he kind of led Kawhi into it. Kawhi was on him and Braun decided to go from the corner to directly in front of Westbrook

  17. If just MPJ holds on to the ball doesnt try dribbling its another OT most likely . Giving up the ball and Powel easy 3 doomed us

  18. We should have won that game by at least ten points. Missed ft’s and easy bunny shots cost us this one. I do feel good about this series though.

  19. The thing is, Jokic has a lot of these moments where he will keep forcing the pass even when every opposition player are going for the gamble

  21. I’m not really mad, but i am ready for the off-season so we hopefully can get more defensive players

  24. If we get game 1 Harden & game 2 Kawhi with the rest of the Clippers playing decent at home, series is over.

  25. Kawhi looking like the healthiest guy on the court in a 2025 playoff game was not on my bingo card

  27. They need to get more offense. Is this simple. If they don’t, it’s over. There is just no way that Powell and Bogi will be this bad. And i’m not feeling very good about it. I now i have talked 300 times by now, but i just can’t believe how slow Jamal is being. His pass is so late. Makes everything so difficult.

  28. Jokic wasn’t great offensively, but need to give him props defensively. He was unreal

  30. They can still capture it but it’s so weird to watch basically the same team from the championship run look pretty mortal and sloppy. Like the Magic and connection they had isn’t there. I mean I can’t image this series ends without a crazy Murray and a crazy Jokic game but as of now they’re both producing their season avgs which is once again weird for the guys who historically rise levels above

  31. Tough loss. The turnovers were the big issue and the difference maker, especially those unforced ones late in the game. Kawhi was on one, and credit where credit’s due: a lot of his shots were well defended/contested. He just couldn’t miss. MPJ looked better. Still would like to see more, but I’ll definitely take this production over game 1’s. Murray played well and I thought his defense was pretty solid throughout. AG and CB showed some good defense, though I feel Braun was pretty quiet on offense. PWat had some solid defense, but was quiet on offense. Jokic is still a titan.

    Overall, the defense was as good as I’ve seen it. Not much you can do about a player having a night like Kawhi, but they slowed everyone else down and kept it low scoring. Offense needs to be cleaner.

    On to the next!

  33. Game 1: Clippers have 20 turnovers, 7 from Kawahi

    Game 2: Nuggets have 20 turnovers, 7 from Jokic

    Nuggets are -20% from the free throw line.

    No timeout called on that last possession.

    Multiple points of failure. We beat them from the field, from three, and on the glass. We lost the game on turnovers and at the line.

  35. This game reminds me of 3 and 4 the suns when Devin Booker turned into Michael fucking Jordan

    Just hold the line and keep playing with effort and pace. Clean up the TOs, we will get this

  36. Did LeBron ever in his career get criticized for playmaking too much and not be an aggressive scorer?

  37. Yea, we probably should have called a timeout but Braun did get a wide open 3 he bricked.

  38. * Story of the series so far is unforced turnovers. Hats off to Kawhi, he balled out, but they lost the first game because they kept making dumb TOs, and we gave one back the same way. Mal and Jok with some wild pass attempts, Russ and MPJ, even fucking Pickett just losing the dribble for no reason, and some of those transition impossible attempts by Russ and Jamal, and AG missed dunk may as well have been turnovers lol. Gotta clean it up, and I don’t think we can, Clips are playing great team defense, they’re selling out every time Jok touches the ball within the arc, and we’re relying on not great shooters to bail us out

    * Idk which ref’s wife CB fucked, but they really had it out for him, some bitch ass calls in the 3rd took him out of the game completely. Jok flopped his ass off, I think that’s pretty much the worst version of him. Marc Davis games are always fucking ass, it’s essentially a scheduled loss with his stupid ass officiating, and Ed Malloy never gave us one call in his fucking life. Not that officiating hurt us more than Clips necessarily, it’s just that it’s dogshit, and an embarrassment for this league, as was the broadcast in general

    * Mike had a good stretch there in the 4th before the horrendous turnover, but in general I think he has done poorly so far, and I know we don’t really have any other options, and I’m not even sure if he’ll be available for the rest of the series, looked like he got injured there, but he’s just out there, being an eye candy, save for like 4 minutes combined in the series so far. As bad as Russ can be, he at least brings some sort of energy and defense

    * Jamal looked good enough, I thought his defense in the 2nd half was really solid, Clips are throwing a lot of different stuff at him, and he’s handling it well

    * I’m aware this is a waste of breath, but I implore everyone who’s coming here to bitch about their bets to shut the fuck up, and keep it to yourself. Jokic isn’t being passive, you just don’t know shit, so shut the fuck up

    * Bogdanovic and Powell have been a godsend so far, like literally every second Bogdanovic spent on the court has been incredible for the Nuggets, save the ugly turnover he “forced”. That said, I think at least one of them – and probably both – will play considerably better on home court, and with AG and MPJ banged up, this could get ugly quick

  40. Clippers started playing dirty and refs being blind as ever. Murray forcing them to rewatch their no-call was genius.

  41. Stupid DreamersPro is capping on Youtube right now. Ain’t even watching. He was nowhere to be found on Saturday. Hopefully the boys steal one in LA. Jokic needs to own it tonight. Game was right there for the taking.
