00:00Let's move on to Denver and the Clippers.

00:01It's so good that I know you're on Denver,

00:05and it's very disappointing that you stabbed me like that in the chest

00:09when you know I'm a Claw fan and I'm rooting for the Clippers

00:12and I'm over here trying to bring them home.

00:14And I thought Saturday just absolutely sucked.

00:18Like, what a great comeback.

00:20And that game was headed to overtime.

00:23I thought it was just going to be an epic ending.

00:25And instead it was NC State 1983 and Jim Balvano with Lorenzo Charles.

00:30I couldn't believe Joker airballs and then Gordon dunks it

00:35and they win the game.

00:36And now they're going home to game 5-2-2.

00:39That made me sick to my stomach.

00:40I think they'll never live it down.

00:43Well, listen, you could argue here's another series right there.

00:47It's 2-0.

00:48It's 2-2.

00:49It could be 4-0.

00:51You get that game to overtime and you talk about the 16-point lead

00:54they blew in game 1.

00:56This series could have been over.

00:57But this series has been so, except for game 3, it's been razor thin.

01:03Razor thin.

01:04Ultimately competitive.

01:06I like Denver in 7 going into it because I was just worried about, you know,

01:09mile high game 7 and Brody in game 7.

01:14I mean, not Brody, Harden in game 7.

01:16His track record isn't good.

01:18I have a fear to be right.

01:19I fear what he's going to do.

01:21But it's been really competitive.

01:23It's a really good series.

01:24Listen, would I be surprised if the Clippers went in Denver and won game 5?

01:30No.

01:30But either way, it's going to be a really close game between those two

01:34and pretty good defense on both sides.

01:36He's never played a game 7 with the claw.

01:40I would say he might be better with him than any other situation he's been in

01:46where he's actually, you know, like I'll give you that.

01:48He melts down in the big game.

01:50The one big game he melts down.

01:53But I don't know if he's going to melt down playing with that brother and also with that

01:57big Galoof Zubats, who I think is a monster.

02:01And I thought his foot back, that tip in on that missed shot that tied the game, I thought

02:07that that was sickening.

02:09And Joker couldn't even believe that he got burned on that tip in.

02:12And so I think they're, I think they're both really good teams.

02:16And I think, you know, I think Gordon's better than he's ever been.

02:19And Porter hits those deep wing daggers.

02:21They're dangerous.

02:22Both these teams are dangerous.

02:24I think it's a shame they have, one of them has to lose.

02:27Yeah, one of them's going to lose for all.

02:28That's the unfortunate thing.

02:30But I said this before I started my first second with you, whoever wins that game, I'm taking

02:35game one, them versus OKC on the money line.

02:38Because I think OKC has not been challenged.

02:41I don't care about game four.

02:42And it doesn't matter to me.

02:44And John, don't tell me this whole like, oh, if I was playing, it'd be 2-2.

02:49You need to just, you know, put the shenanigans away.

02:52You'll probably get traded two in the offseason, but Memphis will probably try and keep you.

02:57But to me, I think there's going to be a rust factor with OKC not being challenged.

03:01And whoever comes out of this Nuggets Clippers series, Pharrell, is going to be battle tested.

03:06I'd like them to win in OKC in game one of the semifinals.
