Memphis up 28. OKC may win anyway. But not staying up for it.

This type of energy might be what to expect in Orlando tomorrow.

Yes Orlando please don't come out like the Griz did tonight.   Just pounding the Thunder into oblivion tonight.
Pippen is taking it to the rim 1 on 4 and scoring with ease.   Bizzarro world is where we are at.

Orlando doesn?t have the scorers that Memphis does.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I think we lose tomorrow but I'd be stunned if we got blown out

Nuggets were up 7pts with 3min left. They finished the quarter down 7. Collapse.

Now LAC will bring Zubac back against a non-Jokic lineup. This is where they can push their lead further. LAC could be up 10-15pts by the time Jokic comes back in.

Ja with a bad fall in transition.  Stayed in to take the free throws but he's worse for the wear and heading to the locker room.

He's gotta learn how to protect himself better.  I don't know if he was deliberately trying to jump over Dort or if he didn't even think that far ahead but this isn't the first time he's been shaken up because he tries to jump out of the gym and crashes.

Westbrook, Pickett and Watson came in and the Clips realized they didn't need to guard any of them lol  :P

There we go. 15pt deficit within first 3min of Q2.

David Adelman is getting out-coached. Lue made the adjustment to exploit the Jokic rotation. Lue forced Aldeman to use D Jordan as his backup center to play Zubac instead of using A Gordon as a small ball center which is a much more effective lineup. And Clippers are cleaning Denver's clock as a result.

Ohh. Nice crossover at speed by Harden in transition. Layup.

Yeah that's on Dort. Guy is a sneaky dirty player to begin with, he can be reckless

Edit: Looking at the replay again, I'll admit maybe it wasn't "intentional" but he's been involved in a lot of reckless plays in recent years on his opponents

Why is MPJ reaching in on Harden?

Does he really think he is that good of a defender than he can strip Harden?

You are 6-10. Your advantage is laying back and using your length to make him play over the top. Your job is not to reach for the ball. Your job is to give him extra space so he doesn't blow by you. Make him shoot a step back J over your length. Play smart D.

Gallinari was very good at that. MPJ is not.

Denver's bench has 3 total points near halftime

This is a shameful showing by the Nuggets. Down 18pts first half. And they have actually got good performances from J Murray, A Gordon and Jokic. That is the scary part for them.

None of the rest of the team is working for them.

I know it's about to be a 2-1 series, but this OKC-MEM series is so boring. Every game is a blowout lol.

Wow, that was an amazing graphic. They showed Kawhi's FG% on offense and then his dFG% on defense. Guys are shooting something like 4-21 FGA against Kawhi in this series. Crazy. Kawhi is 28-44 on offense for 64% FG%.
