Clippers fans are reluctant to let go! Not only because of the Nuggets 101-120, but more reasons are the following six points

Basketball

is over! it's all over! The Clippers defeated the Nuggets in the first round of the tiebreak in the West and missed the next round of the game!

When the final whistle between the Clippers and the Nuggets' tiebreaker whistle sounded, the Clippers players' eyes were filled with tears, showing sadness and sadness, and even more unwillingness; isn't the infatuated Clippers fans the same? When the game was not over, I could no longer suppress my inner sadness and tears burst out. The fanatical Clippers fans were really unwilling to accept this result...

The first six games of the series, the two sides got a big break. When the Clippers led 2-1, they did not seize the opportunity. Although they had won the opportunity to tie the seventh, they also laid the foreshadowing of the defeat, let the tiger return to the mountain, and in the end they could only swallow the bitter fruits of their own...

Back to this game, except for the stalemate in the first quarter, the Clippers were defeated in the second and third quarters and collapsed quickly. In the fourth quarter, they should be thanked to the Nuggets for leaving enough face for the Clippers and not chasing them forever...

The scores in the four quarters were 26-21, 21-37, 19-35, 35-27, and the total score was 101-120.

I really didn't expect that Jones Jr. could lead the start, and the first quarter was also the Clippers' last madness. Since the second quarter, the Clippers have not scored goals, so they can't make any shots? Relying on Leonard's hard support, the Nuggets are blooming at multiple points. Braun and Westbrook should have been role players in the series, but they did not expect to become the protagonists of the tiebreak battle. Although Westbrook is old, he is full of energy and is simply Megatron! In the second quarter, Westbrook defeated the Clippers alone, and the Clippers also fell 11 points from the first quarter to the end of the half. This is still the case in the third quarter. There are no players who have a hard solution, nor can they score. The Clippers players are suffering on the court, and many players are no longer interested in fighting. After all, there is no hope of a comeback. Fortunately, garbage time comes soon, and the main players and the rotation are resting. Players who basically don’t get playing time in the series can feel the atmosphere of the tiebreak battle. In the end, the game ended in a peaceful manner. After all, the Clippers cannot win, and the Nuggets cannot lose. The successful ending is the greatest respect for the tiebreak battle... 101-120, the Clippers finally lost 19 points.

The Clippers' out of this game makes it difficult for Clippers fans to calm down. The difficulty lies not only in the loss in this game, but also in the following 6 points.

1. Clippers fans are unable to match the situation. Why do the Clippers lose so badly?

As a Clippers fan, I didn’t expect to lose in the tiebreak battle, but I didn’t expect to lose so much, falling behind by more than 30 points at most. It’s really a pity. I haven’t collapsed like this in the first three away games. Besides, the first away game was just a shameful defeat, and the second away game was even better. When it came to the fourth away game, why did I lose like a mountain? Where is the details? Did the head coach make a mistake in adjusting the starting lineup? Shouldn't Jones start? Fans don’t understand, can the head coach still not understand? Such a confused defeat really made the fans feel uneasy.

2. Clippers fans are unable to match the Nuggets for two consecutive away games, and Harden's performance is too sluggish! In the fifth game of the

series, Murray's Night of God, Harden scored 11 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and the Clippers suffered a crushing defeat with a big score; on the night of the tiebreak, Harden scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals, Harden collapsed in two consecutive games, and the Clippers suffered a crushing defeat in two games. I vaguely remember that Harden scored 32 points in the first away game in the series, so why didn’t he score in the key game? Don't have the courage to play singles anymore? Harden's performance in the key battle really made the fans feel unhappy!

3. Clippers fans are unable to match the three consecutive tiebreak battles, and Harden is a loser!

Including this tiebreak battle, Harden's last three tiebreak battles have all failed. There is no need for further remarks this time. In the last time in 2023, the Eastern Conference semi-finals were against the Celtics, Harden made 9 points and 5 mistakes, and the 76ers lost a big score and was eliminated. In the last time in the 2021 Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Nets played against the Bucks, Harden scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, and the Nets were eliminated in overtime. Including this time, Harden has always been the loser of the tiebreak battle and cannot rewrite the outside world's doubts about Harden. His career is so tragic that Clippers fans are reluctant to let it go.

4. The Clippers fans were unable to match the Clippers. They actually let Westbrook play 16+5+5+5, Braun plays 21+5+4, and Gordon plays the dunk king's momentum! In the tiebreak battle, the Clippers locked Murray, only allowed him to score 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, locked Jokic, only allowed him to score 16 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. Unexpectedly, the two generals were locked down, but Braun, Gordon and Westbrook were released. Braun scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 38 minutes. Gordon scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in 35 minutes, and completed dunks many times in the game. He regarded the seven-game battle as a dunk contest. He himself became the uncrowned king of the dunk contest. Veteran Westbrook's performance was even more exaggerated. He scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in 27 minutes. Three of them were frontcourt rebounds, which were simply flying and omnipotent. The Clippers actually made the basic-paid players perform such an explosive performance. Where is the Clippers’ defense? Did they all give Jokic and Murray? The Clippers allowed Braun, Gordon and Westbrook to perform well, which really made Clippers fans feel unpleasant.

5. How could Clippers fans not be ashamed of the highly anticipated Powell?

Played seven games in the entire series, Powell was still lukewarm. He only scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in this game, becoming one of the culprits of the team's defeat. He made all kinds of mistakes in getting the ball, and was poisonous, iron and loves to control. Looking at the entire series, Powell's performance was also very useful. With only the reputation of Bo Kobe and without Kobe's ability, it really made the fans unable to match..

6. Clippers fans were unable to satisfy their efforts and failed to save the Clippers!

Leonard tried his best to play, 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the tiebreak. Such performance has burned out his own performance. Although he didn't contribute much in the regular season, Leonard dragged the Clippers forward in the playoffs. Leonard is worthy of the Clippers, but I'm sorry for the salary given by Ballmer, but in this way, Leonard can't lead the Clippers at all... If such a lineup continues, Leonard and Harden will eventually be in vain. Looking to the future, it will also make fans sigh and make fans feel uneasy!

As a Clippers fan, there are many things that are difficult to settle for, the Clippers' 14 mistakes, the Zubac's abnormality, the Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller are not reused...

The Clippers season is over, but the Clippers fans' support for the Clippers will not end! But how should the Clippers management work? Only by winning more fans’ support? Fans, wait and see!
