I'll admit I stopped watching Clippers vs. Nuggets at halftime. I tuned back in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets were only down by two. When they got the lead, I thought they were going to blow it at least partially because they just could not stop leaving Kawhi Leonard open from the arc. The Nuggets stole one tonight because Clippers gonna Clip. The end there was really good. I get y'all aren't watching because your team isn't playing. I arbitrarily root for the Lakers, but I'm a basketball fan first. There have been some damn good games in these playoffs.
The narrative was so stupid going into Game 5. The internet has been slandering Paul Millsap for weeks. The Clippers essentially neutralized Jamaal Murray. And Michael Porter Jr. threw Michael Malone under the bus, complaining about plays not being called for him (chill, bro... you're a rookie). What happens? Millsap apparently leads a third quarter comeback (which I missed), Murray made some big shots (he didn't call bank on that one three-pointer), then Porter Jr. slaps the Clippers with big-dick energy three to four plays in a row in the last two minutes: Drains a three-pointer, blocks an Ivica Zubac dunk, then hits ALL of his free throws even after Pat Beverley whispered some **** to him. I'm going to ignore his personal politics for a minute and just appreciate how well he played.
I'm going to stop typing because I don't want to miss Game 7 of Raptors vs Celtics. I did finally finish The Last Dance and have some feelingz about it. I don't know if that belongs here or the Movies & TV child board.
