00:00you know generally speaking a denver minnesota matchup we could clown on that maybe like we did
00:05a little bit with toronto and cleveland but the truth is when you got the best player in the world
00:09arguably i mean i guess you could debate this but when you got that guy right there nicole jokic
00:13it's must watch tv and anthony uh edwards is not far from it you know we got superstars carlin going
00:21in this series so of course a lot of folks will be locked in you know denver is a pretty
00:25significant
00:26favorite in the series minus 295 that does make sense they've been the better team all season long
00:31and they are pretty significant favorites to start off game one as well six point favorites total 231
00:37and a half but something tells me carlin that this is going to be a long series i i don't
00:42think denver
00:42is going to wipe the floor with minnesota minnesota has shown a lot of guts this season a lot of
00:46different times yeah and we've seen in the past in the past two years that this minnesota team knows
00:52how to win playoff series they've been in the conference finals each of the last two seasons
00:56i don't think they get there this year but they also know how to just kind of scrap these wins
01:01out
01:01and anthony edwards has proven like hey i can be a playoff performer i can raise my game to a
01:07level
01:07that i need to to get through to another round and he's also proven that hey when the chips are
01:13down
01:13i can guard your second best player denver which is jamal murray and kind of shut him down a little
01:18bit if you guys remember in the playoff series a year ago jamal murray was kind of held in check
01:23by anthony edwards throughout that playoff series and that's where the series kind of lands to me we
01:29know nicole yokich is going to be great we know anthony edwards is going to be great we know people
01:33are going to make memes about rudy gobert and how he can't defend in the playoffs what we need to
01:37find
01:38out is if jamal murray is going to be able to elevate his game the way he did in 2022
01:42when they
01:43went through and won the nba championship if he can be that jamal murray well this
01:50consistently then minnesota has a sneaky chance to maybe upset the denver nuggets i do have the
01:56denver nuggets winning this one in six games but i will say jamal murray is going to have to show
02:01up
02:01in every single one of those six games if they're able to go through
02:05and then we'll see you next time
