They just had to mention the 1995 Rockets on the broadcast…

Nuggies way ahead. I'm rooting for them to eliminate the Clips, so I'm happy about that. Aaron Gordon looks great this playoffs so far; he has 18, 4, and 5 so far.

Both teams have really tightened their rotations. Nugs only even playing 7 guys, and Clips basically also have only 7 guys contributing. Batum seems back down to earth with just 3 points.

I question Denver leaving starters in with this kind of lead.

Same…. If Denver had OKCs depth, I’d give Denver a fighting chance but Denver’s going to be putting a lot more miles on those legs and not sure they’ll hold up.

Glad the Clips are out. Good regular season team but thought they were overrated heading into the playoffs and too much was made of Kawhi, who seems to be this mythic figure amongst fans and media now.

He’s just not the same player he was in 2019.

For sure he's declined a little bit from his prime, but I thought he looked great overall and wasn't the reason they lost. He had 27/10/5 in Game 6, and 22/5 in Game 7 before it became a rout. He looked pretty darn good to me. Harden seemed more bumpy to me; he played well in Game 6 (28/8/6) but not so well in Game 7 (7 points).

I think the biggest issue was they didn't have enough guys they could trust in a tight playoff game. Batum gave them a great Game 6 but then completely disappeared in Game 7. Bogdanovic was consistently mediocre. Dunn gave them very little. And then most of the rest of their bench was a real puu puu platter.
