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.Quote:

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.:lolQuote:

They got back in the game because of harrell :lolQuote:

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.Quote:

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.
True that and would you look at this shit.Quote:

: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.
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.
The entire Nuggets team have been here before... last round.
Yup, and as Jokic said, they should feel no pressure. Pressure is on the Clippers, because this would be a monumental collapseQuote:

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.
"Closer" Lemon Pepper Lou blew like 3 point blank :lollayups:lol (Harrell didn't do much better)Quote:

Kemba/Dragic are literally two of the best drive & kicks players in the league.Quote:

Lakers would make light work of them and give them their trademark gentleman's sweep treatment.
Let's see how Kirby's hit list fares compared to Jokic/Murray:Quote:
