And now SGA did have 31 points in the game, but they needed them all.
00:03
This was very close right down to the wire here.
00:06
So is it just step as simple as this,
00:08
that Denver is going to go back home and they're going to win their game.
00:11
And then we're going to get to a game seven and we're going to be shouting
00:14
up and down, wondering who's going to win in an exciting finish.
00:19
I hope so. And I also think so. I think you're right there.
00:24
You know, Denver is going to have the advantage with the altitude.
00:25
We all know that usually it takes a couple of days to adjust to that.
00:30
That's why traditionally they haven't had a huge advantage in game twos,
00:34
but in those game ones or, you know, this game six scenario,
00:37
I think that that altitude is definitely going to have a factor.
00:40
And yeah, I think they'll force a game seven.
00:43
Now here's,
00:44
what's interesting here is that the Thunder are still big favorites to win this
00:47
series. In fact, if you take Denver to win the series right now, Steph,
00:50
you bet a hundred dollars, you win $980.
00:53
They're plus nine 80. And how about this too, to go seven games is plus two 40.
00:58
It's like almost taking the money line of Denver in game six,
01:02
very bizarre odds here.
01:06
I don't really understand that either. I mean, like I said,
01:08
I think that the nuggets have an advantage in game six, just due to home court.
01:12
I also I've heard, I don't know if this is totally true,
01:16
but I've heard that Michael Porter jr is going to get a cortisone shot before game
01:19
six. And if you look at how he's played before, after those games, right?
01:23
Before he gets those shots placed a lot better. I mean,
01:25
you can tell that he's clearly laboring.
01:28
He's got like a huge, whatever pack on his shoulder.
01:31
So that could be a factor too. I mean,
01:32
I really do think this is going seven and Nicole Jokic hasn't gotten a lot of
01:36
help. He hasn't really needed it. He's been,
01:39
it was just completely amazing last night.
01:41
He struggled a little bit more early in the series,
01:43
but I just can't see him allowing his team to lose that game number.
