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.
