00:00i mean you know the odds makers last night carlin made oklahoma city a favorite again they keep

00:05doing this and they keep losing to the denver nuggets in denver so uh congrats to denver but i

00:12i guess i don't mean to be cynical here but i i do have to ask the question does it even matter

00:18does denver hold any shot whatsoever to go to oklahoma city and win i know they've picked off

00:25a road game every now and then but this just to me just reeks of this typical nba series where the

00:31home teams win and the road teams win and then it's best to have that best record in the nba and

00:36host the game seven maybe i'm wrong you tell me yeah i mean there's two trains of thoughts here

00:41there's there's what you just laid out home team kind of takes care of home court you know series

00:45goes chalk across the board and you know the the higher seed moves on the second thought is

00:51oklahoma city had an opportunity to put their foot on the throat of the denver

00:55game six let them off the hook and gave them life and now the denver nuggets a more experienced team

01:01who have championship experience have won championships have the best player on the planet

01:06playing on their team and a guy who turns it up in in playoff form in jamal murray now going to have

01:12multiple days rest after having to deal with an illness going into game six playing the way that he did

01:17in a game seven one game scenario winner take all you don't want to mess around with that so

01:23it really depends on what side of the balance you fall on and if you want more ammunition to to kind

01:28of lean denver's way they've been in seven game sevens this denver nuggets team this core when you're

01:33talking about yokich murray uh porter who played poorly in game six could bounce back in game seven

01:38even christian braun they've had this is going to be their seventh game seven they're four and two in

01:43game seven so far and they've they've they played in uh this is going to be their second game seven in

01:47this playoffs alone and and the only other team to do that in the first two rounds uh previous to this

01:53we're playing the game seven the first two rounds was the denver nuggets in 2020 before that it was

01:58the denver nuggets in 2019 so this is a denver nuggets team that knows how to get to game seven

02:02and knows what it takes and what's going to happen in a game seven nothing's going to shock them

02:06on the other hand oklahoma city we're still we've always asked had questions about this team right

02:11all see all season long has been do they have enough experience when it comes to these moments

02:16to break through and eventually win the nba title we're going to find out what you know shade gillis

02:21alexander is made up he's going to win the mvp in the regular season that's great right now it's time

02:25to perform in the postseason we're going to find out what the good jaylee williams has to offer he has

02:30played poorly through six games he has a chance to erase all that in one game in a game seven so

02:35everything on the line home crowd advantage may be a factor but if it was me craig i'm going to

02:41leave the nuggets i think the nuggets have an opportunity to go in there and shock the world
