Harden is really not trustworthy in the key battle! In the words of fans: It’s useless to assist but not score points.

Today's tiebreak, the Nuggets can be said to have lost the Clippers in three quarters, especially in the third quarter, with 16 points in a single quarter, plus an 11 points in the half, leading the final quarter with 27 points, and then played 6-0 in the Clippers at the beginning of the last quarter. The Clippers were completely in a mess and went home to fish.

Harden's key battle is still not trusted. This game is very similar to G5 Tianwangshan. There is almost no way to face double-teams. The only thing better than G5 is that the number of assists has increased. But as one of the team's dual cores, it is really useless if you only assist but not score points, because you can't change the Nuggets' defense. In addition, except for Xiaoka, everyone else is completely in a mess. Harden played for three quarters, played for 35 minutes, made only 8 shots, made 2 of 8 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists, and scored too few points.

Leonard is still the most stable in the team. He played 33 minutes, made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but he was really hard to support him. No one can bring him greater support on the offensive end. Xiaoka has a 20+ performance in every game of the playoffs, which should be one of the few comforts for Clippers fans. At least this man is really back, with two years left in the contract, and at least the Clippers will still have some highlights in the next two years.

Powell is also a player who cannot play high-end games, so it makes sense not to enter the All-Star, and there is a reason not to get a maximum salary. Someone has said that the biggest difference between an All-Star and an ordinary player is stability. No matter what intensity of the game, All-Star players always have their own highlights, but ordinary players will be invisible when encountering high-intensity games. In this playoffs, Lakers' Reeves, Clippers' Powell, Rockets' Green, etc., all need the playoff stage to re-prove themselves. After all, in the NBA regular season and the playoffs are really two different games!

Today Powell made 4 of 11 shots, missed one of three-pointers, scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

Nuggets played perfect team basketball today. Westbrook, who started five players and substituted, all scored in double digits. Jokic's easy-to-use trick was released today. Although he didn't score many points and only scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the others performed well. This should be his favorite way of playing. He doesn't need to attack by himself. It's enough to restrain and support. It's not tiring and efficient, and it's perfect.

In addition, Gordon became a point that the Clippers could not solve, shooting 9 of 15 shots, scoring 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. The Clippers really didn't have the No. 4 position to withstand Gordon. After losing weight, Xiao Ka obviously had to play in the small front. Braun also scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists today, and made 3 three-pointers, which punished the Clippers' three-point defensive strategy for letting him go.

The same is true. Westbrook made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and efficiently scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. Westbrook has a huge effect in this round of playoffs. It can be said that he broke the doubts about Malone being fired and proved himself again. As long as you don’t have to go, it takes too long to go, although you occasionally don’t get into the empty basket, it really doesn’t cover up the bad luck, and injects a lot of energy into the Nuggets’ substitute. This is the role of the veteran, and this is the role Westbrook brings to the team.

Finally, let’s talk about the Clippers! There is obviously a problem with the lineup. There is really no one at the No. 4 position. We will strengthen the offseason! It's better to get the letters over. Ballmer shouldn't save money and make a championship!

In addition, Harden has to renew his contract, but in the first round of the Clippers' playoffs, I don't know if it will affect how big the Clippers can give him, and even whether they will give up on him. I'm not sure. Harden almost finished his entire regular season perfectly, but he really played in the playoffs, and he scored two key games, one game, one game, and one game, and one game, and one game, is he really destined to not be able to play the key game? Too difficult!

Some people say that Tyron Lue blamed him for temporarily changing the formation today, but I personally think that Jones Jr. and Dunn are not very different. What do you think?
