NBA Season 2024-25

Commentators are correct. Close game but Clips are getting good open looks while DEN so far are making some tough, closely-contested shots. And as I type this, Harden blows by Jokic for an easy layup and then another nice pass inside for an easy bucket. Not ideal for DEN if their defense doesn't get it together

There are so many narratives and storylines in this series that I forgot Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons are playing in it - LOL

James Harden is so much better than Paul George.

Giannis really is just allowed to bullrush guys and get a foul call

And then also still takes like 20 seconds between FTs 

Meanwhile Jokic actually can't get any calls despite being hacked constantly

Imagine if Tatum and Jokic got the same whistle as Brunson/SGA/Embiid/Giannis. Easily averaging 35-40+ PPG

Massive 13-2 run by Denver to close the half! Looks like an awesome 2nd half ahead

Zubac is such an incredible story. No elite athleticism , no eye-popping talent to speak of- just a kid who stuck with his team, worked his tail off and emerged as an All-NBA candidate (I think he will make 3rd team).

It warms my heart to see yet another guy the Lakers have up on become a great player.

These Ben Simmons minutes fascinate me.

It warms my heart to see yet another guy the Lakers have up on become a great player.

And they still end up with two top ten players while some other teams, year after year, can?t get one.

This has been an awesome game!

Kawhi is amazing. First of all, seems like he should be 40 but only 33. But injury after injury and he comes back looking great.

Also, wasn?t it a few years ago that no one wanted Nicholas Batum?  Then he seems to contribute everywhere he goes. Heckuva clutch three just now.

OT?

[Goldstar88]

Ridiculous mistake by Kawhi. 

[Phantom255x]

WOW! Westbrook 3 for the lead!

WOW! Westbrook 3 for the lead!

Harden right back! Tied, 18 secs left

OT it is.  Obviously an important game for both teams, but could be more demoralizing for Clips if they lose. Big chance to get the win they need in Denver.   

Really tough road to the finals for whoever wins this series.
