2020 Playoffs: (2) LA Clippers vs. (3) Denver

Thrilling finish to an otherwise sloppy game. I feel a little bad for the Jazz, but I do think Denver will make this more of an interesting series with the big advantage at Center. However I think the Clippers will take this in five. They're just a lot better.

With Murray scoring like he has been, the skills of Jokic, and getting Gary Harris back from injury, the Nuggets are equipped to win this in 7

Clippers is just a very different team compared to the Jazz. Would really surprise me if they even got to a game 6. Clips in 5 unless Pandemic P shows up then in 6.
Rest In Peace Kobe

You might have been right about the Mavs series had Porzingis not gone down and you might be right about this series here. I can not believe Denver has forced another game 7. Personally I expect the Clippers to dominate game 7, but who knows

Damn I was so disappointed by the Mavericks. Especially after Luka hit that buzzer beater, I was expecting more

Murray and Jokic have each scored 339 points so far in the postseason. Talk about sharing the load!

Tough when you're already the underdog in a series, and then you lose your second best player and biggest match-up advantage for the series. I'm honestly impressed they even took them to 6!

What an epic fail by the Clippers...this was a championship or bust season and they committed one of biggest choke jobs I've ever seen. Everyone on that team deserves blame, including the coach. They had no answer for Jokic, NONE. Denver kept killing them with the pick & pop. LOL @ their excuses, especially Paul George. Hey PG, they traded draft picks to bring you to LA. You were expected to get it done THIS YEAR. Next year's not guaranteed, especially with a healthy Golden State squad.

There's a clip of Phil Jackson making the rounds where he's talking about how Doc Rivers' teams collapse and choke, often in the fourth quarter. It didn't come to pass in the 2008 Finals, but there are examples of it happening, and this series provided a few more.
