Roundtable @theathletic.bsky.social to discuss physicality in the playoffs www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

submitted 13 minutes ago • 1 comment

🆕 @theathletic.bsky.social Are the LA Clippers content with the regular season they've had? They have now lost back-to-back games for the first time in 8 weeks, and they have approached this series at times as if the Denver Nuggets would just give it to them. www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

I "chopped it up," as the kids are saying, with @fredkatz.bsky.social, @lawmurraythenu.bsky.social and @kellyiko.bsky.social about the physicality in this year's playoffs.

Asked Jamal Murray if he felt like the Clippers have respected his team in this series "I don't know. I mean, maybe? I don't talk to them like that. We're just out there competing, and two great teams battling it out… I respect everybody over there"

Jamal Murray smiled when asked by @bennettdurando.bsky.social if he could still be motivated by Kris Dunn being selected over him in the 2016 NBA Draft “100 percent… 100 percent”

In the 10:46 that Michael Porter Jr. was off the floor The LA Clippers outscored the Denver Nuggets by 18 points But in the 37:14 that Porter Jr. was on the floor The Nuggets outscored the Clippers by 34 points It's the best +/- of Michael Porter Jr.'s postseason career

Clippers scored 115 points tonight ... which would have been enough to win either of the previous four games They wound up allowing more points than any game this season except one: 134 at OKC in November, the last game of the Harden/Powell/Mann/Jones Jr./Zubac starting 5

This was all about Nuggets shooters being as comfortable as can be tonight Clippers actually outscored Denver 62-46 in paint And Clippers were a respectable 12/32 outside the paint (11/29 3s) But Nuggets were 25/47 outside the paint! 53.2%! (NBA season average: 37.1%)

The LA Clippers are facing elimination Denver Nuggets win 131-115, scoring their most points since the double OT debacle vs Timberwolves and taking a 3-2 lead in the process Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook with 64 points on a night Nikola Jokić had only 13 G6 Thursday

Jamal Murray ends tonight with 43 points The only time Murray ever scored more in the playoffs were his two 40-point bubble games vs the Utah Jazz in 2020 Denver calls timeout to empty the bench with 1:56 left and leading 127-107 They tacked on a good 8 extra minutes on LAC.

James Harden is the only Clippers starter not in double figures And he has more turnovers (3) than FGs (2/7), 3-point attempts (0/2), and assists (2) through 3 quarters

This is the loudest *HARDEN SUCKS* chant I've heard in an arena since the 76ers/Clippers trade Not even Dallas could muster up this level of animosity And it worked. Harden missed another free throw and Christian Braun ends 3rd quarter with a 3 Denver leads 99-83

Clippers in double figures at halftime: Ivica Zubac, Kris Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanović Clippers NOT in double figures at halftime: James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell Now we await to see if Nikola Jokić decides to end them again like he did in 3rd quarter of Game 4

Jamal Murray failed to beat the buzzer, good situational defense by Derrick Jones Jr. But Murray is cooking the Clippers for a game-high 19 points on 8/11 FGs, and Denver just had their best offensive half of the series by far 67-59 Denver lead Nuggets brought the straps 🎯

Defense optional here in Denver Bogdan Bogdanovic had only 9 points in first 4 games. He has 10 already, forcing a Denver timeout with 7:21 left in 1st half. But Russell Westbrook is outscoring entire Clippers bench 16-14, pretty much knifing through Bogdanovic 52-41 Denver
