00:00If you look at the Denver Nuggets, like a lot of teams that win the championship, you
00:06see where the Vegas Golden Knights, it catches up to them a bit.
00:09They've played so much basketball, right?
00:12And now here we go again.
00:14If you look at the pace of the Nuggets, the Nuggets are a really good team.
00:16I think they're winning the West, but it doesn't mean they're going to win by eight and nine
00:20every night.
00:21I think the Lakers are getting tired of losing to the Denver Nuggets all the time.
00:26And I think it's going to be a similar look.
00:28If you look at the series last year, they got swept.
00:32They were in every game, right?
00:34Pretty much every game they lost by like six, seven, eight, nine, fell apart late.
00:40The Lakers were in pretty much every game.
00:42They were in every game.
00:43They even battled hard in that game three, in the game four when they could have rolled
00:47over and they didn't.
00:49So I'm expecting a very competitive series.
00:53The Lakers are another team.
00:54I think people get so caught up in LeBron and the ups and downs, right?
01:00He's either the best or the Lakers suck or this or that, but the Lakers are quietly a
01:04pretty good basketball team, Carver.
01:06Like a lot of people on East Coast don't see them, but they're not bad.
01:09I mean, we're talking about a team that's like, you know, 14 games over 500 right now,
01:13right?
01:14Like they're not, they didn't stumble in.
01:15The West is just that good.
01:17It wasn't like the Lakers aren't the Bulls and the Hawks.
01:19They're not like five games under 500.
01:22Austin Reeves could ball, man, right?
01:25D'Angelo Russell's on fire.
01:26It's a contract year for them.
01:28They've got good chemistry.
01:29They got a good flow.
01:30Like the Lakers are a good team.
01:31It's unfortunate for them that they get, they get the Denver Nuggets, but I do think they
01:37cover Carver.
01:39And out of all the games, I do like the Lakers plus the seven.
01:42It was seven and a half.
01:43It's been bouncing around.
01:44But if I had to pick one bet, like out of the four games, I think the T-Wolves are getting
01:50disrespected.
01:51Me too.
01:52Like people are buying into, oh, Kevin Durantis and, and Bradley Beal, that I think this isn't,
01:59it's not quite Golden State and Sacramento Carver, but I'm not buying it.
02:04I think the Phoenix Suns are like an aging fighter.
02:07And Anthony Edwards is like a fighter in his prime right now.
02:10Like they're the best defensive team in the NBA.
02:13Phoenix are going to have to hit their three point shots for seven games to a four out
02:18of seven.
02:19You got to do it for at least four times out of seven.
02:21I don't think they can.
02:23I think, you know, I think Phoenix, I don't believe they can.
02:26I think, I think Minnesota's youth and size will bother Phoenix enough, not to mention
02:31somebody on the Suns could get hurt.
02:33Right.
02:34I have no confidence in the Suns.
02:35I think Minnesota win the series.
02:37I like Minnesota in game one.
