00:00So we got to look now ahead for this Denver team.

00:04I mean, they do have the ring, Coach.

00:07Donnie and I were talking, the best player is still on the Denver Nuggets team that's

00:12going to be in this series.

00:13And that's still saying a lot here.

00:14They split the season series, I think, two games apiece.

00:19I mean, this is a monster number here for the OKC team in the series.

00:24Does Denver have a punch or shot, in your opinion?

00:27They do, because they have the best player in the world.

00:32And I think, guys, game six, OK, they didn't close it out.

00:37But five and seven, they looked as good as they've looked all year.

00:42All year.

00:44Both sides of the ball.

00:45And to me, this series is going to depend on, and they did it on Saturday night, it's going

00:54to depend on Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr.

00:56Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr., I think scored 39 points, if I'm not mistaken, in game

01:04number seven.

01:05I think Zubac, Harden, and Kawhi scored like 41.

01:11It was like something like crazy close.

01:13So if those two can, like, let's say, equal what they get out of some of the other guys,

01:19you know, Williams and, and Hartenstein and Chet, if they could bring their part of the

01:25game, Joker is going to bring his.

01:28Murray will give you a couple of spots.

01:30I think OKC wins this series, but I think it's in six.

01:34So I'm going to do, I'm going to take the Nuggets plus two and a half games.

01:38I think they find a way to get two games here in this series because of their star power,

01:44Nikola Jokic.

01:46And I do think they're going to play much better, particularly if guys ready on the defensive

01:52end of the floor.

01:53That's the difference that I saw this, you know, the last couple of games down the stretch

01:57after they fired Michael Malone.

01:59I think they're going to play much better, but I think they're going to play much better.
