Clippers in 7
I would have picked the Clippers a week ago, but the way Denver closed the season with wins against Memphis and Houston tells me they're ready to roll. They seem to be playing better as soon as Malone got fired.
Jokic overrated
Clippers in 6.
I’m choosing Clippers for this and the reason I think that is because Clippers teamwork, offense and defensive capabilities when healthy is quite literally top 5 in the league. I’d say we win 4-2 or lose 4-2 I doubt any team gets 4-3 win or lose.
clippers will win watching from the philippines good match though nuggets has jokic clippers will survive
The clips in 7 the klaw looks healthy and its the best the team has looked IMO 😊
