2nd Round Matchup: Nuggets vs. Clippers

[DC23]

I feel like this should be pretty easy for the Clippers but then again the Jazz blew a 3-1 lead and were clearly the better team.

[Rummpd]

Denver has two hard to guard stars and Clippers two great defenders - rooting Denver but Clips in 6

[TDMVPDPOY]

clippers in 4

[Rummpd]

Poor Nuggets probably no legs left.

[lefty]

Clips in 5

[daslicer]

If nuggets lose game 2 they are going to get swept.

Kawhi's consistency in the playoffs is honestly crazy to think about when you compare it to all the choking frauds around the league (Frauden, CP0, Siakam, etc.)

[Spurtacular]

Only caught a bit of the game. Looked like the Clippers were allowed to do 2011 Miami Heat D; just bump the hell out of everybody.
League doesn't want Nuggets shi**ing on their parade.

:lolI swear the NBA is rigged. How the fuck do the Clips blow the Nuggets out in Game 1 and then look like complete shit in Game 2?

Jokic and Murray are a top tier duo.

Isiah was ordered to throw the series in 87 vs Boston with that impossible to explain turnover, Stern told him he would give him a couplet titles later

Magic was told to throw the 84 Finals for a few more titles later, those turnovers are still hard to justify for a player pf thst magnitude

Same thing with Lebron in 2011 va Dallas tbh, it’s the only explanation

[RD2191]

Kawhi 4-14 after his most efficient playoff game ever? Right... :lol

Clippers defense, yeah that's a thing, but the Nuggs content to live and die on the perimeter.
Shot selection matters.

:lol Beverley is a straight up clown.

[i'm_still_beta]

Jokic was great defensively today

[Capt Bringdown]

Clips should take the series, Denver sucks. Another Golden State wanna-be with nothing going to the basket or posting up.

[Clipper Nation]

This game was like one of those games in Madden when the computer decides you're not winning no matter what. Pretty much everything went wrong.

He had his Spurs throwback game tonight that he used to have in the playoffs after having a great game.

Your knack for jinx posting your idols is crazy to think about.

The other night when you asked where the Russ haters were, it preceded him finishing 0 for his last 5 shots and having a negative impact in crunchtime despite his team winning.

Now this post prior to Kawhi putting up 13 points in 39 minutes on 4-for-17 shooting, 0-for-3 from three. Not quite the expectation for tonite’s game based on those tweets.

Jokic posted up and scored several times in the game.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi definitely isn't the defender he used to be (albeit still great). Regardless, Denver had a dozen things go right for them tonight yet the Clips were close late.

This was Kawhi's worst playoff game in five years. If he stinks it up like this again in Game 3, you might have a point.

Does that include he one season he decided to take off?

[Robz4000]

Clippers going through the motions again. If they're not careful they'll motion themselves out of the playoffs.

[Clipper Nation]

It's safe to say that Montrezl Harrell is a regular-season-only player, just like Jamal Crawford used to be. Whoever pays him this offseason will regret it (hopefully it's not the Clippers). I get he's been dealing with off-court stuff, but it's just a fact that his size and poor defense make it really difficult for him in the playoffs.

[Killakobe81]

He’s the prototypical energy guy off the bench. The minute people think these guys are more than that and put them in as starters or run plays for them, they regret it. But they have a place in the modern game. Same for DeJuan Blair, Draymond Green, etc

Well, they're doing a shitty job of that, because the calls Jokic was getting all game were absurd. Especially early on in the game when he was snapping his head back on every play and getting rewarded for it.

Doesn't matter. Murray wasn't finishing that dunk off even if nobody was there.
That ball just happened to hit his finger as he was falling well below the rim. :lmao

Clips will always “look beatable” b/c they play defense in spurts & their offense is basically all jump shots since Harrell is a potato at this point. If the bench was rolling then they would have been able to skate through the first two rounds.

On the bright side, the clips are willing to play zubac over harrell. He was just in foul trouble the whole game.

The biggest concern i had with this clipper team going into the playoffs is if DOc had the guts to relegate harrell and lou if need be and the answer is yes so far.

They’re potential is just way higher with Less lou/harrell

[phxspurfan]

Didn’t watch the early game, just the end. Unless someone fouls out in the early game, ref calls don’t matter nearly as much then. The refs use the early game to build up the non favored teams numbers to make it easier to hand the game to the favored team in the 4th without the FT Disparity gripe. Everyone knows the 4th quarter (and last 5 minutes) are usually all that matters in an NBA game

It takes two to tango, Harrell came back to the bubble out of shape thus the PnR isn’t what it was in the regular season although they have been looking better otherwise they should be dominating Plumlee & Monte Morris.

This series is somewhat similar to last season’s Duds-Clips series. Nuggets basically won two games based on two outlier quarters against a team that has a tendency to cruise. Clippers can easily blow them out if they played with some sense of urgency as opposed to going through the motions.

Kawhi 40

Morris 35
Zubac 32

Nuggets are playing zone in the 2nd half & Cripples make no adjustment besides chucking up 3s that lead to transition buckets. Doc Rivers is the only coach to blow 3-1 lead TWICE, he’s finning to make it a trifecta.

:downspin:

[Neo.]

people can say what they want about bron being "passive" or not having "killer instinct", he would never allow this to happen

its one thing to be passive in game 1. its another to blow a 3-1 lead and be completely disengaged as your team is blowing massive leads in each game, getting dominated on both ends.

looks like kawhi misses having lowry bail him out every time things get out of control, since hes incapable of creating any offense unless its an iso

[daslicer]

Are Nuggets that good or has Clippers gagged?

I would say both. A lot of people don't want to respect Jokic or acknowledge that he is a superstar because physically he looks like an average out of shape white guy. Jokic is legit that's why this series is going the distance.

[R. DeMurre]

Holy shit. Jokic goes for 34/14/7. I'd love for Denver to win the whole thing-- that would be a great story.

[Kawhitstorm]

Are Nuggets that good or has Clippers gagged?

Nuggets aren’t really doing anything special besides playing zone & playing through Jokic who seemingly can’t miss in the 2nd half. Cripples basically opened the flood gates midway through the 3rd last game with Morris waking up Millsap, today Patrick Beverley put the Nuggets in the bonus by essentially fouling out in the 3rd quarter.:lol

[Neo.]

Nuggets aren’t really doing anything special besides playing zone & playing through Jokic who seemingly can’t miss in the 2nd half.

why isn't kawhi eating the zone up? why isn't he defending joker or doing something to help limit him a bit?

if they arent doing anything special, and kawhi is the best player in the NBA, he shouldn't be such a non-factor in each of these games

[apalisoc_9]

Zubac: +10 / 6MOY: -19

They got back in the game because of harrell :lol

[spurs10]

Great game! Love to see Denver take this Clippers team out. The Clips have no mojo or camaraderie, they just think because Kawhi is on their team it will come easy.

[Capt Bringdown]

Holy shit. Jokic goes for 34/14/7. I'd love for Denver to win the whole thing-- that would be a great story.

Nuggets do jack a lot of 3's, so game 7 will depend on that. The Joker is perhaps the most interesting player left in the playoffs. Dude's like a B-ball scientist.

[Kawhitstorm]

They got back in the game because of harrell :lol

Dude should be left in his hotel room for Gm 7.

[Killakobe81]

Denver will have a chance to be the first team ever to come back from 1-3 twice.

I still think Clippers win game 7, though.

I think kawhi goes god mode ... but not sure what kind of stones most of the roster has.
I keep hearing the Clippers have more dawgs than everyone else but Celts Raptors Heat play that way not the Clipps.
They play like that innercity AAU team that is just thrown together because of talent but when they meet a more experienced better coach team that has returning players they get exposed.

[D-Wade]

Harrell has actually been worse b/c he’s “guarding” Jokic:lol

:lol Clippers are a bunch of front-running dbags.

At the end of the day, they're a jump-shooting team, just one that plays great D. They get so easily thrown out of whack, and they don't have anybody who can attack the basket.

Kawhi is great at getting to his spots, but he's not that explosive and doesn't attack the rim as much anymore.

[swrowe78]

Kawhi has been here before. Game 7 against 76ers last year for example. So I pick Clippers in game 7. But I think they should be concerned about the Lakers next round.

[JamStone]

The entire Nuggets team have been here before... last round.

[TDfan2007]

Yup, and as Jokic said, they should feel no pressure. Pressure is on the Clippers, because this would be a monumental collapse

[TD 21]

:lmao No leadership mercenaries. Scumbag should be getting destroyed for this, but he'll get a free pass and it'll mostly fall on Rivers.

They'll obviously win game 7, but the real takeaway is something else that'll fly under the radar: It's been a long time since a big has dominated an important playoff series and the two best ones since prime Duncan have done so in not only this round, but the 4 series each they've played in their respective careers.

At the end of the day, they're a jump-shooting team, just one that plays great D. They get so easily thrown out of whack, and they don't have anybody who can attack the basket.
.

The only team left in the playoffs who doesn't fit that description is the Lakers. Clips/Nugs will probably come down to who hit the most 3's & the same can be said of the Heat/Celtics. LOL, today's NBA.
Lake Show could sweep the remaining games on the way to the title if they remember to attack the basket.

Hibbert would have put up Wilt numbers against Doc's love-child Harrell

1305234299663216640

1305235701558988800

That's nice. Harrell is playing less than 18 mpg in the series (how much less do you think a coach is going to play the 6th man of the year?), so that doesn't explain Jokic's dominance, nor does it in the 3 other series he's played in his career.

There's also politics at play in coaching because they're dealing with human beings, not machines. They're almost certainly winning no matter what, so play Harrell only non Jokic minutes and risk his checking out entirely. He already suffered a significant loss and is a big ego/volatile personality to begin with. This team also lacks leadership and chemistry.

Glen, is that you?

Clippers lost the last two game by a combined 19 points, Harrell was -28 while Zubac was +16 during that span. Do the math.

[resistanze]

lol the mute with the Raps would definitely made the finals again.

[JamStone]

You can blame Doc. You can blame Harrell. But this is not just a player’s league, but a superstar league. Superstars get most of the credit when their teams win. They get most of the blame when their teams lose. That’s the way it goes.

If it were a LeBron led team with a 3-1 series lead going to a game 7, he would catch heat no matter how well he played and no matter how much his coach or teammates fucked up.

Some folks believe Kawhi is the best player in the league. He can’t let this type a shit happen. Not without getting criticized for it. And now, he not only needs to win game 7, but he needs to go nuclear on the Nuggets. Put up a 40 spot. Score 25 in the first half and have your team up 30 at halftime. Have a Jordan moment. Hell, have a Damien Lillard of a month ago moment. Shit is on him now. Win plus be great. Has to be both.

He will get criticized *IF* the Cripples don’t win Gm 7

[Chillen]

I am expecting the Clippers to win game 7 but I admit it would be very satisfying to see Denver win it based on the crap Kawhi put the Spurs franchise through with wanting to go to LA so bad. Even if Clippers would be a harder match up for Lakers, Kawhi choking this would be very cool. I am not a Kawhi hater but he wanted to be in LA so bad he screwed over two franchises and fan bases. So seeing him lose this game 7, I wouldn't mind it.


Damn. Missed it. Why'd these idiots do the game so early?


i can't ever catch the afternoon games with my schedule lately, just checking the score on my phone. I can't stand them but the NBA has always done it. Evening games are so much better. I'll definitely be watching the game 7 though, must see.

Heat play winning ball too. They do a lot of penetrate and dish, and have a fantastic inside player in Bam.

These playoffs have made it painfully obvious that inside play is not dead in the NBA. When the going gets tough, cute pullup 3s stop dropping, and you need a dominant mid-range or inside guy to get easier baskets.

I guarantee if latest great white hope Nurse did the same thing, he's not facing criticism. Just like D'Antoni, another media favorite, had his team flame out in embarrassing fashion in a should have been close series, yet all I've heard is about the supposed amazing job he did for 4 years.

I don't think Zubac has the stamina to give them 40 solid minutes.

[johnnymoore]

Eff the Clippers. Their GM stalked and tampered with Nephew by attending Toronto's home games. They should ESAD in the most humiliating fashion . . . like, by being up, 3-1, in the second round and losing in 7.

problem is zubac and harrell dont know when to pass it out when bully ball doesnt equate to baskets...undersized midgets in the key getting exposed...

Best outcome possible is that the Nuggets win game 7 and shock the Clippers and Claw and then somehow, someway beat LAL despite being a heavy under-dog. Entire season of watching the sublime NBA as it is today would be worth it.

Dwayne Casey was a stubborn idiot like Doc who refused to adjust unlike Nick Nurse when Kevin Love was bludgeoning CJ Miles. Raptors would have been swept by the Celtics if Casey was at the helms.:lol

Harrell’s minutes should be split b/w Zubac (~ +5 minutes) & Green (~ +10 minutes). Dude should only play for the 5 minutes Plumblee is on the floor without Jokic b/c Nuggets actually play them together.

[NugzFan]

Well, they're doing a shitty job of that, because the calls Jokic was getting all game were absurd. Especially early on in the game when he was snapping his head back on every play and getting rewarded for it.

just curious - are you against flopping?

[JamStone]

NBA officials pick and choose what to call too arbitrarily too often. One star player gets away with something that 95% of the league wouldn’t get away with. Kawhi pushes off with his off arm on nearly every single one of his drives. Guys like LeBron and Freak get to take 4-5 steps instead of 2 1/2. Lowry can lower his shoulder into his defender’s chest with no call because he’s not a “big” but he gets a tiny chicken wing at the other end and he flies 10 feet off the ground and gets the charge.

How did flopping become so prevalent? Because refs let certain players get away with too much. James Harden nearly perfected the exaggerated head snap and field goal arms to force the refs to blow the whistle. Of course other players are going to do the same seeing how effective it has been to get those foul calls and cheap free throws. There are times during these games it’s a race on what team and which players can make the most egregious flop that gets a whistle. As good a defender as he is without flopping, PJ Tucker probably wins last round. Watch how many charges he takes where his body is already falling down before physical contact is even made.

Green specially. Even at the start of the season green was a dog in tough games. Harrell and Lou would feast on already down and dead opponents or lazy teams so it fooled everyone.

:lmao Worshipping Nurse, the unethical self promoter, who's done nothing but catch breaks since he wormed his way into the job. Continued to put the ball in Siakam's hands and have him face up from the perimeter while being defended by two elite perimeter defenders, who were up under him forcing turnovers. Also, 19 minutes for a washed looking/poor match-up Gasol in game 7 . . . but he's a genius because of an elementary defense vs a decimated team.

They might go to that in game 7, but I don't think any coach was limiting the 6th man of the year to 8-10 mpg throughout a series that they're almost certainly winning either way.

[KobesAchilles]

Watching Morris play, I'm glad as a Spurs fan we didn't sign him. The dude fleeced $20 million from NY. What does the guy do that's good? He scores like 2-5 points a game, gets lit up by star players, and talks shit like he's a big reason why the Clippers are winning. Just another Brad Stevens made product tht can't produce once he leaves Boston.

I don't like Morris but statistically he has been the Clippers third best player during the playoffs. He's a POS but he's still a good role player. If he didn't bail on the Spurs they probably would have made it to the playoffs.

[Killakobe81]

Kawhi and PG have picked up the Snap your head back flops Harden perfected. Tucker flops a ton and Jokic flails a bunch too. Yes Lebron Giannis Harden travel and KL pushes his shoulder in to his defender and or pushes off with impunity. Always been a star's league. My only issue is when a Harden shoots more Fts then the other team when half of those FTAs were generated by flops or him barreling in to defenders.

Yeah, Lowry should have taken 39 shots a game. Unlike Montrez, the Raptors weren’t going to win without Siakam scoring otherwise Van Vleet would have dribbled out the clock & shot an air ball. But in any case, Siakam/Gasol were playing stifling defense which is what kept them in the series.


They might go to that in game 7, but I don't think any coach was limiting the 6th man of the year to 8-10 mpg throughout a series that they're almost certainly winning either way.

Harrell is a shell of himself, dude was eating donuts during the quarantine & can barely make a layup in traffic let alone playing any semblance of defense. When the Clippers basically lost due to Nuggets making a runs with Montrez on the floor then there is no excuse for playing him against freaking Jokic even for 5 minutes. Once the Nuggets get rolling they have shown repeatedly in this postseason that they are difficult to stop. This reminds me of Poop matching up Diaw against Kanter when he was getting eaten alive REPEATEDLY.

[JamStone]

Don't forget about LeBron's stiff arm drives...

There are other examples. I just gave a couple.

I don’t know that I’ve noticed LeBron with a stiff arm that often. But Kawhi definitely uses a push off a lot. He rarely extends his arm all the way, which is why I think he doesn’t ever get called for it. But his off arm is significant enough to still get his defender off balanced most of the time. But that’s just what I’ve seen.

Jordan literally shoved Russell for a championship clincher & same with Reggie pushing his defenders including Jorn to get open.:lol

Lillard/Doncic/Carmelo/Softridge also push off on their drives when the go for a stepback. Kemba/Curry are only ones that I don’t see using the forearm shove to create separation.

[daslicer]

Without him the Clippers could have lost in the first round. He's been that important for them. It's one of the reasons I despise him considering he cost the Spurs a chance to go to the playoffs and now is valuable help for #2 to get another title.

[JamStone]

I didn’t say it was new. I didn’t say my examples were the only ones.

Again, didn't suggest that. The point was, Siakam should have been more of a finisher. They also didn't run any off ball screening actions (cross/rip, etc.) to attempt to get him an advantage/switch on Brown/Smart and get him deep post position. Gasol was killing their already laboring offense throughout the series and wasn't suited for the matchup to begin with.

A black coach would have been getting dissected and roasted for these decisions, among other things (like minutes).

That doesn't answer whether Zubac can give them 40 minutes. They could lean in Green/Morris at the five, which spaces Jokic out on defense, but offensively means immediate doubles, which makes them susceptible to him picking them apart with his passing.

Pfff. Defenders adjust to these pushes. Elite defenders will actually use that push for their own advantage so it’s actually tougher for Kawhi to maintain his balance. It’s exactly how hand checking makes players easier to score against.

They were mostly self created and off balance because he lacked the strength to successfully post up Brown . . . so all this is to say, it's mostly about the players? My point exactly.

Still, he had no business having that long a leash at that point.

He received minor criticism. Rivers has received major, while Scumbag gets a free pass. If this were James, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Harden, etc. they'd be getting killed for this but he has a "black" (mixed) coach to shield him.

If the Clipps blow a 3-1 lead with Kiwi as their leader? There will be blood. I'm bringing back Kool, luva and Giuseppe :lol
You know he's dead, right?

Yeah, Lowry didn’t get severely criticized although the major culprits were DeFrozen/Casey. Besides, Durant mostly got a pass after publicly crying about always being second & it was Pop’s daddy Brooks + WestBrick that got criticized even when WestBrick outplayed Durant in multiple series. Kawhi has NEVER had a meltdown close to any of the folks you mentioned as the undisputed #1 so cry me a river.:cry:cry

Lowry was the biggest culprit because he was the best player on the team. Casey received way too much flak because he's old/black (a death knell to hipster media).

Scumbag didn't just wet, he drenched the bed in '15 and '16 and has never really proven anything as a #1 outside of his all important pristine circumstances.

DeFrozen was the highest paid player & marketed as the face of the franchise. In any case, Lowry actually played well the last couple of postseasons but was still being slandered due to what happened in the past while DeFrozen was getting benched till his last game with the franchise.

Yup, he did drench your mom & imposed his will in pristine situations which explains your fury:madrun

Don't get your hopes up Laker fans. Clippers aren't losing this game. Battle of LA has been talked about since last year. You really think it won't happen? It will happen. I will dress up as Sailor Moon in public tomorrow if the Clippers lose. That's how confident I am in them winning.

Clippers have blown two big leads in the second half this series alone. Won't count Denver out until the clock hits zero.

That’s what happens when you put your two worst defenders on the other team’s best scorers although other configurations were working.

Doc: If it’s working then change it

Got damn. Clippers are fucked. Straight up embarrassing shit by Kawhi.

[AlexJones]

12 good Nuggets minutes away from Lebron becoming GOAT.

[AlexJones]

Kawhi's 2019 run might be the most overrated in the history of sports.

Denver isn't going quietly into the night. Much respect
