00:00
We start in the one spot, not only just in the Western Conference of our opening round
00:05
sets, but in the one spot last night, there was not a series-clinching chance.
00:10
It was game number five at altitude, but you and I examined this game basically from every
00:15
single way that you could, what it means for the series overall, and a series tied at two
00:21
games apiece, with the home team returning to altitude, and yet a home underdog, and
00:27
a series underdog as well.
00:30
Well, the Nuggets made us look pretty smart yesterday for questioning everything we were
00:34
seeing from the odds perspective in this tightly contested opening round series behind a Jamal
00:41
Murray game, a 43-point performance to lead the Nuggets to a win, 131-115, not exactly
00:48
close last night, DRS, as Denver rolls past L.A. to take that decisive 3-2 series advantage.
00:55
Let's do the thing I love to do, Ben.
00:57
Look at that box score before the game even starts.
00:59
I'm going to give you one statistic, Ben, and you tell me who won this game.
01:03
Jokic, 13 points.
01:04
What?
01:05
What?
01:06
Oh my goodness, the Clippers absolutely hammered Denver last night.
01:09
What, did Jokic get injured in the first half?
01:11
No, he didn't.
01:11
Still finished with a triple-double that didn't matter because 43 points from Jamal Murray
01:16
rescued the day for the Nuggets.
01:18
And I talk about this, getting off to that good start is so important.
01:22
How about 35-23 at the end of the first quarter?
01:24
Denver meant business right off the bat and continued it all the way through to an easy
01:29
two-touchdown victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, which I love talking about the series
01:33
because it makes no sense to me.
01:36
The pricing all the way through.
01:37
Game number one before it started, a minus 120 favorite for the Clippers to win the series.
01:41
I'm like, you know what?
01:41
That makes some sense.
01:42
But as we went along, none of the pricing made any sense, which included a best of three
01:47
in Denver in elevation and a heavy favorite for the Clippers in the series.
01:52
Thank you, Denver, for winning that game because I'm calling it again.
01:55
Denver will lose game number six and Denver will win game number seven against the Los
01:59
Angeles Clippers.
02:00
So if you followed along and you kept taking that underdog price on the Nuggets, you are
02:05
feeling good about your position right now.
02:08
Denver will lose game number seven against all the times.
02:20
That's a basic good point for us.
02:22
Destruction James is a good point for you.
02:24
Denver will lose game number six for total slash three means for fine the Bride.
02:27
ведom business right to go now.
02:28
Denver will lose game number five instead of both two times and center at those nevertheless.
02:31
Denver will lose game number five.
02:32
Denver has pass done production which is long before we return, but but it will
02:35
code five這麼 low.
