00:00Here is Nuggets interim coach David Adelman. Of course, that's just one game.

00:04There are still other games left to play in this series, so we're not going to be too concerned

00:09about that. You have an unbelievable win with Aaron Gordon making close to a walk-off three

00:14to the next night, you get completely blown off the court. And guess what? It just means the same

00:19thing. And so you get to game three and you have another chance to be a better version of yourself.

00:25And that's the best thing about the playoffs. And those guys know it. And the way they walked

00:28in the building today, the way they watched the film, their eyes, how locked in they were

00:32as we walked through adjustments and things we can do better offensively and defensively

00:35was a professional approach. And that's what you need in these things. You cannot overreact.

00:40And I said this before, if tomorrow night we win, good for us, then you move on to game four. If for

00:46some reason they come in and things don't go our way, the series is not over. This is a seven-game

00:50series, first to four. We know that. So it's about how you learn about yourself as you gradually go

00:57through the series. And you can't let go of the rope, uh, like we did last night. And I don't

01:01believe we will tomorrow.

01:02Well, it's real simple. Uh, don't give up 150 points. I mean, like, let's stop just rambling

01:12on and on about how, uh, is this guy trying to teach us how the playoffs work? Okay. Thanks.

01:18Thanks young. And, um, here's the deal. They have to play better tonight at home than they did in that

01:25fart on Wednesday night. That was just embarrassing. And you know, they're going to

01:32play better tonight. You know, Joker's going to have a triple double, you know, Gordon is going

01:37to go off. You know, Murray is going to go off. I think, I think Brown and Porter are going off too.

01:44I think Denver will be in this game tonight. In fact, I think they'll win.
