00:00Yeah, anytime I have the Joker dropping another triple-double,

00:04which, by the way, is fifth in seven games.

00:06They only played seven games.

00:07He's got five triple-doubles already.

00:10The Miami Heat, who haven't won in –

00:12I haven't beaten Denver since 2016,

00:14which is laughable in a regular season here, Carlin.

00:17But the Joker seems to have –

00:19they got a little bit of depth here at Denver,

00:21which has been their bugaboo over the last couple of seasons.

00:24I will cut Miami some slack,

00:25because they did win one game in the finals in Denver,

00:28and that was – when they went there,

00:30it was the only game they actually won in that final series that went five.

00:33Look, Denver is going to be a problem anytime you have Joker on the floor.

00:38But what takes them over the top and makes them a championship contender?

00:41How about that Canadian, Jamal Murray?

00:43He's actually looking healthy.

00:44He's looking in shape.

00:45He's looking motivated this season.

00:47Jamal Murray has been, the last couple of years,

00:49on the cusp of making an all-star team.

00:51I think, Joe, this is the year he actually gets it done

00:53and makes an all-star roster, which with Jokic in tow.

00:57So I had the Denver Nuggets making the NBA Finals at the start of the year.

01:01I've seen nothing so far to change my mind on that.

01:03And as long as Joker and Murray are both healthy

01:06and competing in the way they've been competing at the start of the season,

01:09I think they waltz through the Western Conference

01:11and get to the NBA Finals this year.
