This series was not necessarily announced as the most balanced of these Conference semi-finals, and in the end… this series is not really the most balanced of these Conference semi-finals. Well yeah, life is sometimes bland, especially when you have Kawhi Leonard in front of you.
We’re not going to lie to each other, it was rather complicated to immerse ourselves in Game 4 after the completely crazy start to the night that the Celtics and the Raptors had given us. Difficult, really, especially since from the start of this match the Clippers put the lock and announced to their opponent the program of a difficult evening for them. A gap that climbs quickly, the Nuggets who do not even know where the basket is and in front… Kawhi Leonard who begins – already – to recite his scales. 26-12 at the end of the first quarter, it calms down, and it will finally take a warm-up from the infernal duo of Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. to finally offer us a semblance of a match. The Nuggets are getting back together, that’s good, but we don’t have the odd… absolutely no impression of seeing the Clippers in danger. Because it defends really too hard, because opposite the famous duo Joker / MPJ for its part does not know the word defense.
A strange feeling of domination whistling that will eventually cross the entire second half, the gap making the yoyo between +8 and … +20, since good old Kawhi Leonard will take care of every ray of hope from Denver to stop the hole with its huge paws. A fantastic match for the double-MVP of the Finals but without seeming to be, the mark of the very great without doubt. 11/30/9/4/2 while walking, with each time the small cap at the right time, just to show these Nuggets that they absolutely do not play in the same court. Oh they will have tried eh, however, Jamal Murray in particular who finally managed to get out of the vice, but the only little flame that will finally rekindle this match will be … a naughty mornifle of Nikola Jokic in the nose of the crackhead player Patrick Beverley, history of the thank all the beautiful sentences spoken by the leader of the Clippers in recent days.
The end of the match will ultimately be like the entire match, endless, and the Clippers are therefore moving noiselessly towards the first Conference Finals… of their magnificent history, while the Nuggets are already looking for the spa in promotion. Game 5 scheduled for Friday evening, we don’t want to be the Sunday specialists but it could well be the last of the series.
