Gary Harris' return really helped out the Nuggets too. They struggled early in the series without him back at full speed.

Clippers bench has been really underperforming.

Herrell has been unplayable this series and Doc still keeps playing him. Herrell is an effort player that is not playing with effort. I'd play Noah over him at this point. Morris Sr is also giving them nothing.
I don't know how many times Jokic has to own him to get it through Doc's thick skull that Harrell is unplayable against Denver.

They don't have any bigs other than Zubac who can contend with Jokic.
Put Jamychal Green at the 5, play small ball, do something different. It's insanity to continue playing Harrell big minutes when he's playing like this.

Jokic and Porter Jr would destroy Green. The Clippers just have to find a way to get Harrell going.

He's already destroying Harrell. The Nuggets broke away when Jokic got two wide open 3's because Harrell is an awful defender.

You'd have to think that Doc is 100% gone if the Clippers blow this series, right?

They have to get Harrell to rotate properly on D. That's on Doc.

They do have Patterson off the bench who wouldn't be a bad option, but Doc doesn't play him.

Noah would be a disaster, his mobility is shot at this stage of his career.

Yeah, Harris is like their Marcus Smart.

Doc starting to be exposed as the overrated coach many of us thought he was.

I think the Clippers are the better team here, but they have now entered a situation where one anomalous game from somebody can send you home.  That's a dangerous way to live in the playoffs, especially in this three ball era. 

We did the same thing and got away with it.  And we needed an offensive rebound by an unheralded rookie, thus fouling out their best player, to do it.

Denver is much more dangerous than Toronto because they have guys that can shoot better. Murray gets hot and it’s goodnight.

Wonder if the Nuggets will be able to stop the Lakers. If Jokic can play like he did tonight, could be tough nights for AD3

That's what I was thinking as well. I would rather see the Nuggets go up against the Lakers. I think they can give them more of a challenge. Jokic vs AD would be great.
I'd expect the Lakers to roll right over the Nuggets.

Sure, just like most people expected the Clippers to roll over the Nuggets and the Bucks to roll over the Heat.

Jokic, Murray, Milsap, Porter Jr. and Harris would give the Lakers some trouble.

As much as I hate to say it... it looks like the Lakers are going to win the West. Are the Cs ready to take down LeBron? He looks so big!!!

It's almost sickening how easy this run has been/will be for the Lakers. We are either counting on an exhausted, discombobulated Clippers team or an exhausted, low ceiling Nuggets team to take them out. Can't say I'm especially confident in the Celtics or the Heat against them in the Finals. The last thing I want to see in life is Lebron celebrating a (tying) Lakers championship against the Cs. Can't the dude just roll over and die already?

What’s exciting is that I can see any of the 5 remaining teams winning it all. We shouldn’t take that for granted after 9 years of Golden State and LeBron “super” teams, and a pathetic Eastern Conference.
