00:00Denver Nuggets, Portland Trailblazers.

00:02Portland, we know, is not going to be without their, you know, head coach, Chauncey Billups.

00:05We were just talking about on Cal.

00:06She will be one of the first coaches that exits here from being a head coach in the NBA by being fired.

00:11The Nuggets are on the road.

00:12They're favored by four and a half points.

00:14And the total of this game listed at 239 and a half.

00:17Portland and Denver tonight from the Rose City.

00:21All right.

00:21We got history in the making here tonight in this game, Donnie,

00:24as the Joker is going to look to become the first NBA player in the history of the game to open a season

00:32with five consecutive triple doubles when he takes on these Trailblazers.

00:38He is four for four triple doubles to start the season here.

00:42That he tied Oscar Robinson and Russell Westbrook, who did it, by the way,

00:47years ago when Russell was actually worth having on a team.

00:51But, yeah, he's going to have an opportunity to do it again.

00:54Tonight against the Trailblazers, who, let's face it, the Trailblazers, great start to the season,

00:59haven't really seemed to miss Chauncey Billups all that much.

01:03This is a different animal here.

01:05I think not only does he get the record, I think the Denver Nuggets are going to help him get the record.

01:10And I think they go on to win by double digits one way or the other.
