00:00Meanwhile, Oklahoma City takes on Denver Gilbert. I'm not going to ask you to pick the Nuggets. Nobody is. I mean, they're six to one to win the series alone. I suppose I could ask you if you think that this is going to go more than five and a half games, which the odds makers are telling us. No, it's not going to. I mean, it's Oklahoma City is just a huge favorite in the series.
00:19Yeah. And honestly, I think a big part of it has to do with just the effort that Denver had to exert to get out of the first round. And this is a Thunder team who really their starters haven't played very much at all since the beginning of April. They're going to be very fresh and they match up well with Denver. I think that it does count for something that Nikola Jokic is the best player in the world. He might not be the MVP, but he's the best player in the world.
00:40But the fact that the Thunder can throw different bodies at him between Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hardenstein, Jalen Williams, the center that comes off the bench as well, and they can scheme well defensively for Denver. I think Oklahoma City just has too much. And we haven't even seen the best of Shea Gildas Alexander in this postseason. So we'll see that the Thunder are number one for a reason. They won as many games as they did for a reason. And I do expect them to take care of business in around five games.
