HOLY SHIT, THAT THREE BY MURRAY!!! Murray is f*cking COLD BLOODED.
True story- I turned on the game only a few minutes ago, and read the score completely wrong. You see, I predicted that the Clippers would not only win, but that it would be a blowout. So when I saw the score was a 15 point difference, it took my brain a second to realize that the Clippers were the ones down. Beautiful. I'm loving it.

TBH so am I. But I'm not betting against Denver at this point. They're just firing on all cylinders right now, and I think they actually might match up with the Lakers better than the Clippers do in some ways.

I do love a team like the Nugs with so little superstar talent and so few egos. Just busting ass and playing hard

Paul George should just delete his social media accounts until he wins a ring. So maybe forever

What's crazy is that Kawhi had a sh*t game too. Yeah we expect it from George, but not Kawhi.

Because he has no discipline with his teams. He is the polar opposite in how Rick handles his squads. It's great to be a player-friendly coach until the playoffs come around.

He's like Phil Jackson when it comes to stroking egos
Except he doesn't know how to build discipline and he doesn't know how to make adjustments.
He's just friends with his team

And makes you feel better about Rick holding his players accountable. Sure, you get a Rondo situation here and there, but how Doc could let Paul George play the way he did is unacceptable. Rick would have put a fire under George's ass whether he liked it or not. That's what a coach is supposed to do.

Even more damning. There have only been 13 blown 3-1 leads in NBA history. Doc Rivers owns three of them.

God, the whole basketball world is just crucifying the Clippers right now (rightfully so) and I'm loving it. No NBA season is complete without a real villain, and the Clippers fill(ed) that role beautifully. I don't know that I've ever seen a more arrogant team in my life that hadn't won a damn thing. Seeing them not only lose but get flat out humiliated by a gritty underdog team like the Nuggets? B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.
Also, if there was any question before, it should be settled already; Jokic is the best passing center in NBA history. Yes, better than Walton. Granted, we didn't get to see Sabonis in his prime, but Jokic has earned that title.
Jokic might be my favorite non-Maverick player. I just love his game, love watching him play. Great passers have always been my favorite thing to watch.

Agree. I absolutely love his size and game. Too bad he's not such a great 3-pt shooter. He wouldn't fit with the Mavs. :-O

This might be the homer in me, but I think the Mavs had a hand in this for sure. When we tied the series 2-2 with Luka and Trey Burke beating them it destroyed any talk of being great or invincible. Paul George got hammered online and Morris exposed as a dirty player. Pat Beverly a no show.

This is definitely the homer in me, but I think if KP plays this whole series, the Mavs might be the ones basking in upset glory right now.

Mavs played the Nugs really well in the regular season, but man I don't know. Jokic and Murray are at another level right now.

I didn't mean that the Mavs would beat the Nuggets. I mean that they might have beaten the Clippers.

Miami might be better now than when they had LeBron and Wade
Dragic also seems like a decent player. I'm actually a little sad that we didn't get him this summer. He definitely would have been better than Wright.

I do remember Butler getting flak for joining Miami and wasting his career away. Whoops.

With Dragic and KP there's a damn good chance we are in the WCF. Dragics stat history is all over the place, but he has been a real solid player for years.

Gotta hand it to Pat Riley. The old man still knows how to run the hell out of an NBA franchise.
