Patrick Beverly NBA champion has a nice ring to it. I don’y know if the word prohibitive is the right word, but it’s close to desbribing what is about to unfold in the bubble.
The Clippers have a nice team with enough star power in Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Marcus Morris to win sixteen games in the bubble.
They also have enough guys like Patrick Beverly to do the dirty work which is needed to win a championship.
Their first half defense was lackluster tonight, but you know what they did besides winning Game 1…they made Luka D take a hit every time he touhed the ball. Just like in hockey they want Donic to be worn out by Game 3.
In actual hockey the Boston Bruins without Tuuka Rask in net roared back against the Carolina Hurricanes to take a commanding 3-1 series lead despite being without some key offensive pieces. The role guys did the heavy lifting in the third period.
Portland vs. Lakers and Thunder vs. Rockets tonight. This could be interesting.
As a sports fan you have to be discerning in picking your spots in the bubble.
