00:00And the reason I thought they lost that series, the Clippers, was not so much Game 7 where they always lay an egg.
00:07It was that Game 3 at home when they were down 20 and they came roaring back and tied the game and then gave up the airball to Joker for the Gordon dunk.
00:17They steal that win, walk out of there.
00:20The next game, the Clippers beat the crap out of them.
00:23Then they went to Denver and got whacked.
00:26Then they went home and won big, and then they laid their usual season-ending egg in a Game 7 and beer choked.
00:33If they would have won that game, that they came back in their building, that they had a great shot of going to overtime.
00:40This guy shoots an airball.
00:42It's going to overtime.
00:43And they were controlling that game at that point.
00:46The fact that Gordon dunked that home, they never lived that down.
00:49It's amazing that the Clippers just find ways not to advance time and time and time again because they are a pretty good team, right?
00:57They were a day late, a dollar short in this series, Scott.
00:59But I brought it up early in the series, and I said it's only going to be harder to win Game 7.
01:04It's easier to win Game 1 or Game 2 in Denver, right, than it is to win a Game 7.
01:09And the Clippers put themselves in this position.
01:12I'm not surprised.
01:13I lost confidence and hope, Scott.
01:15I bet the Clippers to win the series.
01:17I gave up.
01:17I started to bet on Denver, like, from Game 5 on.
01:20I knew we were done.
01:22I didn't bet the Game 7 because I already had the Clippers, but I did take Denver in Game 5 when it was 2-2.
01:28I was just sort of hoping for the best.
01:30But, you know, it's amazing.
01:32I mean, this team's got – you know, you want to talk about – people talk about, like, the Cleveland Browns or the Buffalo Bills, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
01:38I'm once in 67.
01:39Devin, the Clippers guys have never made it to the conference finals before, let alone, you know, winning.
01:45They've never been to a championship.
01:46They've never even been to a conference finals before.
01:49They spend a lot of money, right?
01:50They have superstar players, and they're just a day late and a dollar short all the time.
01:54It's unbelievable.
01:57It really is.
01:57Now, Denver goes on to start a series tonight in OKC against maybe the best team in the league, certainly record-wise and productivity-wise, scoring-wise.
02:09They've been unbelievable.
02:10People are trying to sell me that they're going to be cold tonight because they haven't played in a week.
02:16I got to tell you, I think that helps them, doesn't hurt them.
02:20The only thing I'll say about this is it's a lot of points to be laying.
02:23This isn't the Memphis Grizzlies anymore.
02:25This is a real basketball team.
02:27You're playing against men, not children, in Denver.
02:31And Denver have matched up well with them.
02:33I don't like to take too much stock, Scott, in regular season matchups, right, once you get into the playoffs, it gets brought up a lot.
02:40But, you know, the fact of the matter is they split the games that they played.
02:44They played back-to-back, actually, in Oklahoma City in March, 127-103 Oklahoma City.
02:50Then Denver beat them 140-27.
02:53When they played in a mile-high city, it was 124-122 for Denver.
02:57You notice a common pattern here, Scott, points.
03:00I'll be betting the overs in this series.
03:02I'm stepping up to the window tonight.
03:03I like the over in the Knicks game, actually, as well.
03:05But I'll take the over.
03:08And, you know, nine and a half has to be enough to get interested, Scott, in the Denver Nuggets.
03:11I respect Oklahoma City.
03:13I'm a fan of theirs.
03:15I like what they're doing.
03:16I like their players, right, SGA.
03:18And they're Lou Dort's from Montreal.
03:19SGA's outside of Toronto.
03:21They're a very popular team in Canada, Oklahoma City.
03:25They played an exhibition game in Montreal, actually, this year, like, recognizing that, hey, yeah, we're popular here.
03:30So, you know, I like this team.
03:33They're a fun team, and they're a dangerous team.
03:34But I'm going to take the Nuggets plus the points tonight, Scott, and the over in this game.
03:38I like it.
