I am so happy you brought that up. And I really love when I was listening to the broadcast, Stan Von Gundy was bringing this up about the fact that having a Batum in there obviously allows you to have some spacing and be able to add some shooting, but it's a more agile option on the pick and roll, particularly just to back down Jokic out of his position.
And that's exactly what you saw him doing all night. And I think it was really funny because his brother technically probably made that decision as the defensive coordinator for the Clippers. But I'm looking at the adjustment that the Clippers made on defense. I'm looking at the way that their big three showed up offensively.
Everything was clicking, but particularly defensively, things were clicking at the end of that game. And I look at Denver, and you love this word, the grenades. How many times did we see Jamal Murray at the end of the shot clock throw a grenade over to Russell Westbrook, put Nikola Jokic in a position where he's trying to force something up?
It looked as if the offense stalled for Denver, which is kind of crazy to say.
I mean, yeah, Jokic ended up with 25 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, like three steals. I mean, like he had a crazy stat line. Can you do more? Can you do more? Right. It's like it's a big burden to ask. But it's true when you're talking about the numbers from the Denver side of things, like six guys, maybe, you know, Watson added in there. But it is six guys.
And one of the six, Michael Porter Jr., I don't know if it was the shoulder that caught up to him or what, but he just was non-existent in this matchup. Only five points. He attempted two threes. What did you see out of Michael Porter Jr. that was significantly different than what we've seen in the last two games?
All right, let's turn the attention to the Clippers because the onus is really on them. They are the ones trying to keep their season alive. And they I mean, they did that tonight being able or last night, excuse me, but being able to force a game seven. But now they are going into Denver. Trying to keep their season alive.
And, of course, you know you can get this offense out of Norman Powell and James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. But you mentioned it. Kawhi's consistency. That is the key thread that needs to be through the Clippers team, not just on defense, but particularly on offense. Throughout this series, you've seen...
The Clippers pretty much be consistent with that aspect of their game, but their offense has been inconsistent. What is it that Denver is doing that allows James Harden to have a dud then have 47 minutes played, 28 points, unbelievable game? How are they guarding these guys? It keeps being up and down with their performance.
And I think that's the reason I asked that question is because it's one thing to be able to do this against an opponent that is scouting you and consistently adjusting to what you're doing, not only in-game, but obviously being able to watch film and then come back and attack it in a different way. But how does this translate to potentially the next round if you don't have your offense engaged
in a go-to type of plan. I know what Denver wants to do at the end of a game, how they want to get into a pick-and-roll situation with Jamal Murray or get the ball in Nikola Jokic's hand and figure it out from there. It feels a little bit as if we still haven't figured that out for the Clippers, even though their offense was humming at the end of the season, the regular season at least.
Yeah, I mean, of course. I mean, it's the best series in the entire NBA. And I don't know. I mean, you're right. I feel like Nicole gets his clutch, not even just in clutch five minutes. He's clutch, period. At the end of shot class, et cetera, you need them. But the person I'm going to choose is the person that went five of seven for the mid range tonight, including one over that seven footer.
And that's Kawhi. Kawhi's got that ability to create. So either way, as you mentioned, it's going to be an unbelievably entertaining close to an already unbelievable series. It's kind of crazy. This already happened in the first round. I know.
I'm going Clippers. I think the Clippers are going to do it.
Yeah.
The Nuggets played seven people. That's fatigue. What do you think Jamie Reddick thinks about that?
conditioning on that note on that note appreciate you hanging out with us dave before making the time to go to the arena be in the building and allow me to get into the pilot seat and appreciate all of you guys listening in thanks to james edward the third and dave before i'm zena kata appreciate you guys listening have a great weekend more playoff basketball ahead
