    That's as good as Harden and the Clippers are going to play.

    Harden held up his end. Kawhi didn't.

    Harden manages to have a good offensive game against a $hit defense and still manages to turn it over and choke the game away lol....

    harden was never good at aggressively going and getting the ball in those last second inbounds plays. stands till and hugs the defender instead of trying to juke them out

    other than that harden was really good

    32/6/11 2 turnovers

    50/44/100 shooting

    That terrible pass was on Batum. Not sure how you can criticize Harden who was the only one making shots.

    Clippers didn’t play well. Lenard was awful and 20 TOs. Wouldn’t be worried at all over a close loss on the road.

    Yeah Kawhi shrunk harder than the kids. As the Clippers though, I wouldn’t be too worried. For the Nuggets almost everything had to go right in that 2nd half and OT to win it.

    it's not fair I KNOW.

    im just saying harden needs to do more even when he is doing everything.

    It's not fair, but this is what he most do that he refuses to do.

    it never fails, every year. it's someone else's fault.

    shrug

    Like was mentioned earlier, Clippers really need to step up on their off ball defensive awareness. Multiple times down the stretch the ball was poked loose for an easy turnover but no Clippers were paying attention and let the ball roll pass their feet for a Nuggets player to grab it and score.

    Kashi’s at the end of regulation was stupid, lazy, careless, and arrogant.

    Kris Dunn letting it go from three twice at critical moments, probably not the best shot, and that just takes your breath out.

    Westbrook is just as dumb, still. But he did hit one of 'em despite a lack of self-awareness.

    Good game.
