Meanwhile, game one between Los Angeles and Denver, they begin their seven-game series.
00:06
The Nuggets are two-and-a-half-point home favorites against the Los Angeles Clippers.
00:10
Total 224-and-a-half.
00:12
I think from the Nuggets' perspective, they've got to be feeling much better.
00:16
They seem to be playing behind this new interim coach and Jokic and everyone else there.
00:21
But look, the Clippers have played really good basketball here the last couple of months here.
00:25
Probably in for a long series.
00:27
What happens, do you think, in game one?
00:30
Yeah, this does feel like the type of series that goes the distance.
00:33
But specific to game one, I actually like the Clippers.
00:35
I like the Clippers' momentum.
00:37
I like what they've been doing.
00:38
I think Ty Lue has been using this week to prepare for the Nuggets
00:42
and all the challenges that they prepare and present to this Clippers team.
00:46
Kawhi Leonard is playing really well.
00:48
I know every single game, we're kind of holding our breath and making sure he gets it to the next game.
00:52
And so far, so good with that.
00:53
James Harden, not a lot of pressure on him right now, not necessarily being the number one guy for this team.
00:58
And Ivica Zubac can no longer be played off the floor and he's going to be Nikola Jokic's matchup.
01:03
So it's a good matchup for the Clippers.
01:05
They've been playing really good basketball in the Nuggets.
01:07
While playing well under Adelman, I think that they have a few flaws that the Clippers could exploit in game one.
