00:00If you feel the Denver Nuggets can win this series,

00:03you're going to take home a plus 610 price.

00:05If you just like the favorite to move on,

00:07break out the checkbook, minus 900 for OKC

00:11to take on the Denver Nuggets in this series.

00:14So again, Joe, I will ask you, from a price point here,

00:17anything shocking with those numbers,

00:19or are they price appropriate?

00:22Well, I mean, given what we have seen from both of these teams

00:26and when you match up the rosters,

00:28I mean, it's hard to ignore the fact that Oklahoma City

00:31pretty much does not have a lot of holes on its roster here.

00:35They've got depth, they've got shooters, they've got speed,

00:38they've got toughness.

00:40They have guys that can defend the Joker,

00:43where many teams don't.

00:46This is an uphill battle for the Denver Nuggets,

00:49make no mistake about it.

00:51And OKC is a deserved favorite of this number

00:55from what we've gotten from them.

00:57However, it's the playoffs.

00:59And we all know anything can happen.

01:02And one of these teams has a ring on their finger,

01:06the other team doesn't.

01:07And that definitely matters in these games coming up.

01:12Now, if we are looking at the series,

01:14like an extended series,

01:15which means more than four games, hopefully,

01:17that gentleman sweep coming in as a favorite here,

01:19plus 198.

01:20Am I crazy?

01:21Because, look, Denver is a good team.

01:23You play off basketball, you're going head to head.

01:25And it's not as if it's like, hey, hey, Joe, man,

01:27what are you going to do?

01:28OKC is, you know, rolling again the playoffs,

01:30three straight championships.

01:31This is what they do.

01:32We haven't seen the OKC Thunder advance, advance, advance,

01:36and win championships just yet.

01:38At every level you level up,

01:39it does get a little bit tougher.

01:41And also, OKC did have an easy time,

01:43technically, with the Memphis Grizzlies.

01:44But also, there were close games there on the road

01:46without John Morant.

01:47Am I crazy to think that I can get this

01:49to a game number six

01:50and take the two and a half games

01:52with the Denver Nuggets?

01:55Yes.

01:56You can, because you've got to believe

01:59the best player on the court

02:01is still on the Denver Nuggets.

02:03I mean, and not OKC,

02:05not taking away from, you know,

02:07SGA and everybody else,

02:09but the reality is

02:10the Joker's the best player on the court.

02:13The most experience and success on that court

02:16is on the Denver side.

02:18So does that mean that they're going to win

02:21a couple of games?

02:23No, but it also ain't going to be what we just saw.

02:26I don't think it's going to be Oklahoma City

02:28by 30 every game either, you know?

02:30So to me, this is all about,

02:32can the Denver Nuggets

02:34finally get this OKC team to sweat, Donnie?

02:37Can they do it?

02:38If you think they can,

02:40and yeah, you might be worth taking a flyer here

02:44with the underdog Denver Nuggets.
