    it was particularly bad on the one where westbrook wiped out harden on the 3 and then got an foul in transition going the other way.

    hey , maybe the nba is setting up DEN for a g7 home collapse .

    I just wish instead of this BS we could get fairly reffed games at all times. Easier said than done because players manipulate stuff.

    Clippers need a 2 of Bogdanovic , Powell, Jones, Dunn to step up .

    WB with a great half . Can he keep it up for the second half or does he shoot the clippers back into it ?

    NBA refs are the worst of all the major sports, but can have the biggest impact on the game

    you can say Harden should be more aggressive, but its been fun watching him so far. 10 assists to 2 turnovers is pretty good and hes been good on defense , really battling with Jokic some too . Russ has always been a tough matchup for him . Excited to see this second half. I hope DEN doesnt just blow them out. I wanna see even more of this series. Such great basketball

    I can't believe the Nuggets went an entire half without a single turnover. Now that's impressive.

    LAC missing open shots. Tough spot being down 15 on the road in G7 . Im sure DEN is willing to give up all kinds of 3's right now to stop LAC from getting buckets at the rim

    I complete forgot about fatigue as a possible problem for the Clippers. It's been a tough, dramatic, tenacious series with only one rest day after game 6.

    But this game definitely isn't over. Nuggets were up 58-38 with 10 mins left in the 3rd quarter of game 7 one year ago against the T-Wolves and then completely and spectacularly collapsed the remainder of the game.

    Harden having another no show in a crucial moment.

    I wouldve been ok with this less iso-centric version of Harden coming back to Houston....But I can't lie...I'd rather have trash regular season Fred and superstar playoff performer vs the inverse with James...

    I don't feel strongly about it, but I would like to see him succeed. I would have been shocked if he had a good game seven after the minutes he played in game six combined with his history.

    Some ppl just have it during these big moments and some don’t. You don’t become better at it or learn, you are born with it.

    Thunder vs Nuggets it is. Do the Nuggets have a chance? They went 2-3 against the Thunder in the regular season. The high altitude is not going to effect the young Thunder players like it’s doing to the Clippers vet now.

    Clippers were supposed to be the true 2nd best team in the west.
