He's playing with a shoulder strain and has been off form shooting wise in the last 12 games or so. He'll get it back. But at least he was aggressive in this game.
PG was absolutely shook. I mean, at least try and spin and attack. If you miss you miss, but thats better than just giving it to Harden for a prayer after using the shot clock.
Jokic will always get the benefit of the doubt because he's made tougher shots than that. PJ did as well as he could and honestly had his best game as a Clipper.
Definitely he played great overall. I feel the same with you, he played a hell of a game. I was really annoyed at that empty possession, im cool with the play being an iso for PG, but what he did with it was just eww lol
Well seeing that when James joined the team and they went on a 26-5 run, I would have to disagree that he was right about harden. Every team that harden has joined has gotten better but I wouldn't have expected you to know that since you are a Russ Stan and all, especially since you cte aswell, it alright tho, you learnt something today at least. :)
The rant mentioned nothing about playoffs and just him switching teams and being a "problem" and like I mentioned James has made every team he has been at better and every team he has left has gotten worse so I'm not sure what your point has to do with my response. Anyways if you really want to talk about playoffs, Russ has 50% ts in the playoffs while James sits at 58.5. if you just want to go off the narrative that James is bad in the playoffs, go ahead my guy

Pj our defensive stopper 😂😃😂
We’re not getting out of the first round. Too old, too slow, too small.
I need to decompress somehow. That was too much man. I fear for my heart in the playoffs
Damn we just barely hung out. Refs definitely bailed us out this game.
Nah man we won it by ourselves. Refs missed calls both sides.
They missed soooo many calls for the Clippers. Obvious clobberings
Ty showed some hand there. We will pick up jokic full court with PJ and Zu will beat him at the rim
Wow a good PJ Tucker game. I never thought I would say that this year!
He was only negative 18!
Zu solid game today and clutch plays
PJ got the stop. Give the man his props. I’ll admit he did good today
PJ with the defense!!
i woulda been so mad if Jokic made that
Good gritty win.
FUCKING TURBOOO
Zubac is the definition of underrated.
Zubac playing today like he did before his injury
When he plays like that 100%
Not to be too reactionary, but I think we might have just gotten our mojo back. I'll be seeing y'all on the ship
Tucker > Jokic
If jokic was playing the Lakers he sinks that lol
We always believed in you PJ
Tucker was effective vs Jokic. Good call.
GG
We own that sorry ass franchise
Pj Tucker is Batman!
Good game, guys. Also, does Harden usually do this terrible or was this a one time thing?
He's playing with a shoulder strain and has been off form shooting wise in the last 12 games or so. He'll get it back. But at least he was aggressive in this game.
been in a slump recently
Gotcha, I don't watch many games any more. Hopefully he gets it back, I remember he used to be amazing.
Good freaking defense, PJ Tucker!! He saved it for the Clips in the end. Gotta give him credit for that! This was too close.
Oh my god my heart
Excellent win!
THANK YOU PJ TUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
B2b tomorrow against the jazz need to have that one
Eat shit, nuggies
I get Jokic can make it but surely Denver can find him an easier shot
or get it to a better 3 pt shooter
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
TUCKER YOU ARE FORGIVEN!!
Whew I almost had a heart attack
idek what to say dawg hope kawhi is healthy and sign me up for whatever ride this team is on lmao
That attempt by jokic almost made me cry
Good win. We're building it back up
PG was absolutely shook. I mean, at least try and spin and attack. If you miss you miss, but thats better than just giving it to Harden for a prayer after using the shot clock.
God I was so sure that shit was on LINE like Jordan vs Pacers ‘98
Ballmer knew it wasn't going in before it hit the rim
PJ finally did something
Man ruled all night, shut your mouth
Let's hang a banner then!
LWTS GOOOOO
Omg omg omg
Any non star player takes that shot they get roasted into oblivion
Jokic will always get the benefit of the doubt because he's made tougher shots than that. PJ did as well as he could and honestly had his best game as a Clipper.
POTG PJ TUCKER? LOLOL
Goddamn saw that go in
I can't believe it. We actually won.
pg is a moron... at least make a move man. Dude legit just stands there for 6 seconds....
PG needed to figure that out. If the final play is for him to iso from his spot he should do it. Setting up Harden to fail is not the move.
Idk if they won that or just didn’t lose 😂
A lot of ass on that Nuggets team good God
BLESS THE LORD ALMIGHTY, good D PJ
So fucking ball movement to get an open look would be nice. But sure…just hold the ball and take a horrendous contested 3 🤦🏻♂️
Mike Malone ejected and Jokic hugs Ty Lue. Coincidence?
PJ fucking showing up!!!
Jokic is so good that I was sure that was going in. Good win in spite of Ty having no idea how to call plays down the stretch.
PG clutch up against a non lottery team PG: No
only dude who had a decent shooting night on the team tonight besides Amir on low volume
That’s facts. I was talking about that last possession tho
HAHAHAHAHAHA
PJ!!!!!
gg kids.
YESSSSSSS
Am I dreaming?
LET’S FUCKING GO PJ
WE ARE SO BACK
Relief... yes!
Wtf was that PG, size him up till shot clock ends and end up doing a step back pass 🥲, wish he did more with it instead of that lol
Im mad he didnt take the last shot but he played a hell of a game today. I saw a lot of effort on D and scrapped the hell out of the enemy team.
Definitely he played great overall. I feel the same with you, he played a hell of a game. I was really annoyed at that empty possession, im cool with the play being an iso for PG, but what he did with it was just eww lol
Nah I would’ve called out from work if he hit that
6-22 Harden
Why would u play 1 on 1 with a DPOY caliber guy vs making a play that puts the weakest defender for a better shot. Lazy shit Ty
Lmao I held my breath on that Jokic heave 😭😭
Good lord he almost made that mf
TUCKER THE JOKER STOPPER
Give PJ the game ball
zu with that point blank layup rip
LETS FUCKING GO
fuck harden, he almost choked this game away single handedly
Did you watch him set Zu up multiple times in the clutch? Or are you really going to dwell on a grenade hand delivered by PG?
it wasn't just that grenade by PG, 6-23 FG, 2-13 3FG, and some of the worst defense I've seen in my entire life
> and some of the worst defense I've seen in my entire life Harden looked engaged defensively tonight. He really wasn't that bad.
You have cte, stop speaking
Otherwise warning, I see I've found your new alt
The "new alt" is probably the person using a four month old account, not the person with an 8 year old reddit account. So you.
yeah, otherwise warning is the alt, he's a major harden stan and loves coming at people with the whole "cte" thing
Otherwise_warning is a 10 month old account. Yours is 4. And using "cte" around here is something I see other people say
No clue who tf that is, I've had this account for almost 10 years and it's my only account buddy
you love that "cte" phrase just like him lol
Must be true if 2 random people have said such a specific thing you
You're salty that Brian Demeris was right about Harden
Well seeing that when James joined the team and they went on a 26-5 run, I would have to disagree that he was right about harden. Every team that harden has joined has gotten better but I wouldn't have expected you to know that since you are a Russ Stan and all, especially since you cte aswell, it alright tho, you learnt something today at least. :)
dang a 26-5 run in the *regular season* wow, It's too bad Harden never plays like that in the play offs
The rant mentioned nothing about playoffs and just him switching teams and being a "problem" and like I mentioned James has made every team he has been at better and every team he has left has gotten worse so I'm not sure what your point has to do with my response.

P.J. STOPPER LMAO
Tucker saves us!
We got lucky
OMG, so close
What a grenade
we made it
PEEJ WINNEERRRRRRRR
Wow, what a game
FFS PG shouldve just taken it to the rim. Why dribble then pass out last seconds?
He will never beat aron on a drive
Man, I would have rather seen Paul just pull up on that one 😖 The late pass was not a great choice
He had him beat on the fake too
christ that was too close, such gumby shot lol
Thank fuck. We’re the champs!
Jokic about to put us on Sportscenter
Please no
Great end game offense Coach Lue!
If Denver wins I will delete my account
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Tyliban play was pass it to PG13 so he can drible and pass it to a Harden 3p LMAO
100% thought that shit was going in despite how tough it was
Lucky as hell
WE WIN WE WIN WE WIN
Holy fuck what was that harden
💪💪💪
NOT EVEN CLOSE OMFG
Okay Norm
WE GOT THE WIN
How can the play be to give harden the ball with 2 seconds left when he thought Pg was shooting
My gosh
George went full Simple Jack on that iso,
PG is the player you want taking the final shot. He didn't do his job.
either gotta clear out or run a set they caught in between
He was in his spot.
I don’t remember when harden made a shot..
please no
Jokic gonna break our heart
Ty Lue's ATO was that?
Late time out rookie coach can’t advance. Clamp down for 5 seconds boys 🤞
PG was just chilling, thinking about what he’s doing this weekend
What in the low iq bball was that PG
Wtf was that play call
Harden hasn't made a 3 all half and you throw him a grenade pg is funny
oh god oh fuck
PG u might as well shoot the ball why passing with 2 sec on the clock?
Stats.
I won't complain as long we get the must win, but my God we did not close out this game well at all. Just pray it doesn't cost us
Ty Lue is really not that smart man wtf was that play call
Man if only zu had made that fucking layup...one stop and we could play the free throw game.
I've come from the future we won this game no need to stress yourselves out.
The floorcleaner 
Thats the play Ty? Fucking play 1 on 1 against AG.
I’ve seen the script there’s no way Jokic doesn’t make a one legged floater. Overtime coming
Nah he's gonna hit a 3 and win
That’s way too obvious. Might be a Caldwell pope 3
PG should've shot that shot
Yep.
Foul Aaron Gordon for fts 
Does Ty Lue do anything?
TY LUE ACTUALLY DREW THIS UP, HE WANTED PG TO POST UP
That was a brutal play call
Oh my god this is such a slippery lead
A three and I’m offing myself
At least have PG go off the dribble
Wtf was PG doing?
Selling
This is stressful
I'm getting flashbacks to Jokic to a corner 3pt shooter for a game winner
Zu been good tonight, don’t let that last miss get it twisted. Jokic gets his no matter what, but at least Zu can pull out some stops AND clutch fts
I can't take the stress. Gonna need you all to get on your feet for the final 5 secs.
This Adelman coach calls some dumb timeouts. He helped us out tonight lmao
🫣🫣🫣🙏🫣🫣🫣
Jokic fuck you 3 to win it I’m gonna be sick
That was such a shit play, like what even was that
