1. Nuggets can thank the Mavs. Clippers were just gassed, if you ask me. If Kawhi and Lou Williams would have played like that against us, we would have faced the Nuggets for sure. Don´t have another explanation, but the series against Dallas diminished Kawhi´s strength. Millsap and Grant are exactly the kind of players we need though. They were stellar.
2. I know our history with the Heat with DWade, the mocking of Dirk... but you gotta love this Heat team. How can you not? They are special and my title favorite right now. Paul George and Jimmy Butler are just complete opposites. How he went through Tatum on that last play. Unreal
I'm not going to bail the Clippers out with the gassed excuse (and Doc even had the nerve to try to use that excuse after the game). They were playing against a team led by a chunky boy that had to come back from a 3-1 deficit the previous round.
The only remnant of the Heat left that I still hate is Pat Riley. Got to feel good for Jae Crowder though and I've been a fan of Jimmy Buckets for a long time
It was classy of the Clippers though to have George Paul and Kawhi combine for 24 points in a tribute to Kobe though
