Btw, with the Nuggets win today, Game 1 of Boston-Miami will be at 6:30 PM EST Tuesday

If the Clippers had won today, it would have been 8:30 that night

Yes, thanks for the heads up, TP.

That really sucks for any of us not on EST. Can barely get home from work in time to catch these games!

Yeah np!

Also just to add if people didn't know, Game 2 will be Thursday but time is TBD. Game 3 is Saturday at 8:30 PM EST (ESPN; Idk if ABC). After that nothing is set in stone. I think it'll depend on what happens in Tuesday's Game 7 and how the WCF schedule looks like.

Some Miami reporters were saying it's possible now that after Game 3, there may be 1 or even 2 instances of there being TWO full days off between games because they don't want BOS/MIA potentially winning in just 4 or 5 games and then not playing for over a week because the WCF is still going on

Another update. Game 2 will be Thursday, 7 PM EST

So as it stands:

Game 1 - Tuesday 6:30 PM EST
Game 2 - Thursday 7 PM EST
Game 3 - Saturday 8:30 PM EST

Rest of the game dates + times TBA

Obviously the focus will be on our game tonight, but boy this will be a HUGE Game 7 tonight between the Nuggets-Clippers. All the pressure is on the Clippers and I don't think it's a hot take to say, legacies are at stake with a lot of the players and coaches on the Clippers.

And of course, I respect what the Nuggets have done but I doubt they can beat the Lakers in a series. Even with their issues I still think the Clippers can take down the Lakers, but of course that's only if they advance tonight. Kahwi and George have honestly looked great lately but they need the bench to step up big time, especially Lou Williams and Harrell.

I think Clippers lose tonight. Blew 3-1 lead it's hard to win with that kind of pressure.

I think Clips will grind it out and win.

Hope so as Lakers would best Nuggets in 4-5 games.

Clippers will win tonight. Leonard and Beverly will lock in on Murray and shut him down.

I'm really excited for a Lakers-Clippers series. That would be fun to watch.

I'm just gonna say it because as of right now it's possible but not likely...

If the NBA finals is Denver vs Miami we can all agree this only happens in the bubble ?

I do think the lack of home court advantage has been beneficial for some teams. It's a big 'Olympic / NCAA' type tournament on a neutral site.  The extra rest from lack of travel has made things different, as well.

Not a good start for the Clippers. Only down 3 though because Marcus Morris is saving them

The NBA will make it happen, I'd wager.  I'm not going to watch the game - poor officiating has ruined the league for me.  Expect the refs to call a crooked game if things start to look bad for the Clippers in game 7.

Pretty much everyone wants to see the Lakers vs Clippers.  Lakers vs Nuggets not so much.

Clippers up 9. But with how the last few games have gone, we'll see if they keep it  :P

There was a time when I thought Jamal Murray wouldn't amount to much in the NBA.

Boy was I WRONG.

Dude started stepping up his POST-SEASON play last year and continues it NOW.

Both Murray and Hield are legit. These were my binkies back in the draft. It sucks that Hield is stuck on a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty organization.
