man, even magic is roasting the clippers. can’t get lower than that.

Kawhi is simply a phenom and denver will never be able to beat him, in the theater of the mind

in the sense of trying to team up with another superstar not money

but he had just won the NBA Finals in Toronto, so there would not appear to be a lot of incentive to go ring-hunting elsewhere.

this is the second close to contention title for paul millsap... you do have to wonder how that changes his legacy

The nuggets should probably blow it up tbh. They never looked like they should be beating the clippers

wait I totally forgot the trade details is this real??

Tbh they should probably just have the clippers advance

I remember when I didn’t think Jeremy Lin was an NBA player. Great deal of coping from me when that turned out to not be true

one of the things that even smart basketball ppl just mindlessly repeated all year was that the paul george trade was really the “kawhi leonard plus paul george trade”. this never made sense to me and it sounds even stupider now! they traded all of that for paul george!!

Big Honey is the best nickname in the league

we all remember the euphoric parade through the streets of portland last year after the blazers won the second round championship.

lol i was actively telling people to treat that win like a championship bc it's the closest portland would be getting for a generation and nobody liked it when i said that!!!!

Apparently Jokic doesn’t like the Big Honey name I wish he did

Between tonight and the Rockets' fate Presti's gotta be feelin' pretty good these days.

I think the clippers are close to contending. Paul George and Kawhi on the wing? Amazing foundation to build on. Hugs for them

hahahaha matt I love you

still think this team ranks behind 2012 nuggs as my favorite nuggets team but if they beat the lakers I might have to reconsider that

dreamboarding a nuggs celtics finals tonight btw

2012-13 that is

im calling jamal murray jammgod now

Hope the clippers remember the good times, laughing at MKG missing a baseline jumper

God Jammgod

lmao

huh

Several Clippers were so fatigued during Game 7 against Denver that they struggled to play stints longer than three minutes and asked out of the game for a breather in the fourth quarter, sources told @TheUndefeated.

and yet the chubbiest motherfucker of them all got a triple double in his second straight game 7, huh

all the anonymously sourced stuff that is about to start leaking out of the clippers is gonna be amazing

clippers def had weird vibes

ballmer gonna hire a vibes coach

"...i'm not vibing with this."

"we just got to practice."

"nah shut this shit down, come back tomorrow."

"the game is tomorrow"

"oh shit that's perfect."

pg could use a private vibes guy maybe work on those vibes of his

i think they call that therapy idk

I don’t believe that three minute stint thing at all

What a bubble for the nuggets. Going nuggs in 6 baby.

i watched that block again today a few times. fucking unbelievable; tatum has it going IN THE CYLINDER and bam just slips underneath it.
lebron/iggy level of clutch

after reading that post just realized I dreamt someone did that block on me but I kept forcing the ball down until it went through

lol

kemba has been just awful the last few games since the defense started trapping him he seems very confused by it which is strange, if he had a normal or only kinda bad game last night the celtics wouldve cruised, also btw classic marcus smart play drawing that deadball foul allowing the celtics to tie it up in regulation

like that tim robinson sketch with the door

(xp)

Lol

I can’t believe how bad kawhi and pg sucked in the 2nd half. Seems like kawhi just gave up on his bully ball forays to the rim completely. Pg looked like he wanted nothing to do with the ball. Very weird to watch.

someone please to photoshop jokic's face on this boxer

If tatum drops the ball at the last second is it a goaltend

yes prob

unless the ball hit the backboard prior to the block or tatum released the ball so that it had a defined 'arc' and was on its way down, i'd say no goaltend.

Yeah I don’t know the rules in this sitch at all. Really wish Bam was on the nuggets

Official NBA Rule states:

A Player shall not:
... b) Touch any ball from within the playing area when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.

This seems like it would cover it, and it looks like I was wrong. But I'm not sure how Tatum could possibly have anticipated a clean block was even possible or removed his hand from the ball in time to change it from a forceful dunk to a gentle drop.

didn't watch clips-nuggs but i looked at the box score this morning and *yikes*
