Brunson sends Pistons packing

Right. And you hope they even out. And I think that if if game five was that top of the roller coaster, you know, right before you get to the huge drop. Tonight was a huge drop and they would have really probably rather had Michael Porter out there, especially just for his rebounding.

I mean, just think about how many times the Clippers were able to tap the ball out, you know, gang rebound on Jokic, even when they were playing small. So, you know, it just I just can't imagine what it's like to be able to play in an NBA game with only one arm functioning. So, you know, tip the cap to Michael Porter Jr. for what he's done so far. But yeah, it wasn't a great game for him.

If I can answer that question, if the Clippers can answer that question, I feel like we would probably know. You know, we would know it out loud. With Harden, it does seem like you know which Harden you're going to get at the start of the game, right? Does he have the juice? I mean, he starts out this game, obviously, like... attacking the basket and against this nugget seam.

That is the recipe for success, especially for the Clippers. James Harden can get to the basket at will. He just needs to do it. He basically needs to put them in the blender, right? Like just over and over again, running those pick and rolls with zoo. And then they surround him with shooters. And you look at the way that Kawhi actually plays off the ball from, from James Harden.

It's not like, you know, he's not out there making tons of cuts. He's not out there, but he's not out there standing around. Right. He's actually clearing out space in the lane. They have a system. It's just so often that system seems to be, hey, beat your man. And, you know, that's I think with Harden, if he's if he doesn't have that first step that day, he's not this man.

And with his physical as Christian Brown and Aaron Gordon have been, you know, when they're out guarding him. It's, it's not surprising to me, right? Like the, the referees allowing those guys to guard with their body guard with their hands. I think that that has bothered James Harden a little bit, which is funny to say, because he is such a physical offensive player.

He's constantly creating contact to create space. But I do think that the nuggets defense has bothered him. And tonight they just didn't have it. I mean, he was just blowing past them. It must've been nice to sleep in his own bed or something. You know what I mean? I'm going to figure out what it is, but you know, he just looked faster. He was getting into his actions faster.
