• 3:15
  Speaker 5: my GiB knowledge I got.

  Speaker 1: It's a great name. Some people call me the space Cowboy. Yeah, Maurice,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Maurice the Rocket Shark. Is there a better name than Maurice? Yeah?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, I see if I was named Maurice,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not going mo either.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: You're calling Maurice.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people call me Moe Whip will.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So listen. Oh ah, oh there.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Uh here's kind of what I'm getting at. When we
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: knew this game was going to be Sunday, well.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They really had no choice given the Nuggets game was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon unless they can reassemble the place in two hours.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Well, listen the way that this is all kind of
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: being put together, and we know how this works. When
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: the playoffs come along. They treat Denver as if we
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: are right on the Pacific Ocean. And that's when games start.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: It's eight thirty at night, it's whatever. The nice thing
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: is both Saturday and Sunday, these games one thirty for
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: of the Nuggets tomorrow, one o'clock for the Avs on Sunday.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: So you get a couple of early ones mixed in.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: But I think this is the matchup that you wanted.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I know that Anaheim was on a slide last night.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Like mos we were in the in the building and
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: we're scoreboard watching the entire time, Like one eye halfway
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: on the Nuggets or on the Avalanche, the other eye
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: just on the scores app on ESPN, and we're like, dude,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: what is Anaheim doing Because they kept losing the lead
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: to Nashville over and over again. With three minutes left,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: they finally put the game away, but it looked like
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Anaheim was gonna blow it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: But it's the Kings.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: It's the team with twenty two regulation wins this year.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't know if it matters who the
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Aves are going to play, because the Avs should smoke
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: whoever their potential opponent was.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But I think this is your best matchup.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I well, yeah, I suppose it probably is. But you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: gotta go till an hour and a half left in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the season to figure out who the heck you're gonna play.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Not even that an hour left in the season before
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you finally get a defensive answer on who you're gonna play.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Man, it took forever. Yeah, I thought it was gonna
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: be the Ducks.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: They were blowing that lead away, coughed it up, coughed
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it up, coughed it up, and they got they gotta what.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: They've got a three to two lead. All of a sudden,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it's Forstburg Stampcoast. Bang, Bang, it's four to three.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Nash. You go, what the hell are you doing?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Look, it's not probably going to be a pleasant series
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to the eyeballs the way the Kings want to play
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the Abs.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But the Abs break through it, Yeah, and they're going
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to inflict their will vic. Yeah, it's not going to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: be the most entertaining series because of what La wants
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to play, what La wants to do, I get it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So this is the third time the Avs and the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Kings have faced off in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Two
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: other times ironically enough, year after year two thousand and one,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, they went seven games in one. That
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was the year that Forstburg ruptured a spleen. They went
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on to win the Cup. Then they went seven games
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in two beat the Kings both times. So not that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: history matters here, but it's been a while. It's a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: bit of a surprise that it's been this long since
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they've seen the Kings in the postseason.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Let me go full on, old lady, it's been twenty
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: four years.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's that pretty good. Actually, all right, cool?
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: What are you trying to get your friend Kelly endo
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: on before he comes in at nineteen twenty bro think about.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That Cup run in one, right, and the difference between
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that and the most recent Cup run where they went
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sixteen and four. You know, one, they had seven game
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: series against the Kings. The Blues was no Cup of Tea,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: was not a field day in seven games against Jersey, correct,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that was a pulling team early.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: But then the Kings, I think people forget that second
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: round series. They had a three to one series leading
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is kind of dorked off for a couple of games. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: but it won seven games against the Los Angeles freaking Kings.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And that was after they had done the big deal
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: for Rob Blake and Stephen Ryan pruct and said deader
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and Aaron Miller the other way. And it was a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: big deal. Man, that was a big, big series AVS
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: would it. We all know what happened eventually. But here
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: we go, man, finally time to get to the post
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: season and you know who your opponent is going to be.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Is it the best possible matchup?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Like I explained to you guys before, I mean thirty
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: three times.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, we're watching it's the best possible matchup.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're watching question Okay, thank you, we're watching the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: other night it's the Kings in Van and it was
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the thirty third time the Kings had gone beyond regulation.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Like that's I mean, that's more than the I mean,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: it's almost they a but it's like for the time
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you go to overtime, it's crazy.
• 8:15

  Speaker 6: you're the only band that ever left New York to
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: get famous. And you said that the market was a
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: little saturated and they were looking for a place that
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: was affordable to live, where it wasn't quite as dense
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: with as many bands, and so they said Denver seems cool.

  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna repeat. That's pretty fun. By the way,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Monday is going to be crazy Sunday. Monday Saturday. Oh,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have outdoor activities outside Ballerina. In case you
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: haven't heard, they're already setting it up. Yeah. I think
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets are calling it fifty to eighty base camp
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and what are the Avs calling this? Abs eally Okay,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be directly east of ball Arena. They're
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: shutting down Chopper Circle and you can go there watch
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the games on big screens. I think out it feels
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like they'll be south of ball Arena's Chopper Circle there,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna break out that the screens on the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: east portion. I saw the map.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: He's portion of of the I saw a giant screen
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: last night on the south part of the stadium.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Show me where it Show me the map, because what it's.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Like across from that restaurant, I forget what the restaurant
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: is called. Now, you used to be the Wrecking Ridge
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: restaurant down there.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's East Ultra Mountain House. Well, that's that's south.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: That is south.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: No, if you're looking at Brooklyn's west would be facing
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Mile High Stadium. East would be facing uh, downtown cool Hills. South.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: That's circle for me. My south in that what I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: consider south is I'm driving down that road to get
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: my twenty five. That's my south. Well, no, so let's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: just agree to district. I've got my own south.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: There's no you have either south or south or not
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: unless the mountains move somewhere like along, I would say, uh,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Alameda right like a or well again you're.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, there's no agreeing to disagree, and there's only
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: one south. If you're looking for all this activity, go east.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: This isn't like left and my left anyway? Can I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: say something? Maybe the natives understand me better?
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, fine, can I say something about bit of a
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: freaking compass these two teams that I think both of
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: them have something that is different from when they won
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: their respective titles that I think makes them better. And
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: you want me to start with the Avs of the Nuggets.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Start with the Avs. Please the Aves.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: When they won their Cup, sixteen and four run of
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: the postseas or through the postseason, they didn't have goaltending
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: like they have now, that is correct, which is a
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: scary thought considering.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Although Frankie played his butt off, I was gonna say
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Frankie's record of the and Darcy Camper leveled up, hold On,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: hold On, he raised his game.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: They were not considered statistically the best goalies in this
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: sport over eighty two games, and there was games. If
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: you remember Edmonton, you had an eight to six game
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: that you had to win, like you had to put
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: up four goals. You know, it's only been one time
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Scott Wedgewood has given up more than two goals in
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: a game since the Olympic break once. That's a different
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: level of confidence that you can have for the y Avs.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: On the Nuggets side of things, Basically, this entire Jokic Era,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: and I would even include the year that they won
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: the championship. Their winning has been built around what a corps.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: It's been built around Yokich, Murray, Gordon Porter. They have
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: never been built off of team. I think they are
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: a lot better suited to be built off of winning
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: as a team than they are a corps. Like when
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: you look back, even when they won the championship, Yes
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: they had Christian Brown who contributed some in the postseason
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: as a rookie. Yes they had Bruce Brown, who is
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: the only other option.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Jeff Green kind of games well, Uncle Jeff.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: I don't think people remember what people say about Jeff
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Green during that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: But he gave them a little of something he did.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: He did, but I don't think people remember how they
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: talked about Jeff Green during that.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Jeff Green was the whipping during that entire season.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: And then he left and they're like, oh my gosh,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: I missed Jeff. I was like, do you remember what
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: you were saying about three six months ago?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: When when will you allow me to really dig deep here?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And my whole thing today is I want to compare
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the two rosters. I want to tell you who has
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the advantage at certain positions and who might had the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: advantage throughout the series here and why I think it's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: going to go a certain direction.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Give me thirty more seconds on this, holy crappy talk
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: a lot. Well, it's only seven thirty mountain time right now,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: so just give me a second.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Uh. All I'm saying is you didn't have a roster
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that was built.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: You had a core that you relied on, and when
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: you won the championship, the cores was healthy and all
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: of them played great, and that's how you got there.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: You have the ability now to rely on Tim Hardaway Junior,
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: to rely on at Peyton Watson that's up to his game.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but to rely on Jonas Valanciunas as a backup.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Big People say, what.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: About KCP CACP was bigcuse?
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, he's a starter. Different sure anyway, Vic,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: go ahead.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: First of all, let's start here, Nuggets fans. You should
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: be excited and you should be scared at the same time.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: It's okay. Anxiety's fine. Anxiety keeps me awake. Anxiety is
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: part of who I am, and I'm sure some of
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you have it as well. Some of you don't. Some
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of you are cool and crisp. I envy you, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: really do. That's not me. I'm gonna give you both
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: sides of the story here. First of all, the seating
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: stuff three versus six, ignore it. It means nothing. It
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: means absolutely nothing. Minnesota is perfectly happy with their seat.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: They don't care. They don't care if they're two, three, four, five, six,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: they don't care as long as they're not in the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: play and they're fine. This is where they live. It
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: sort of wakes them up. They consider to themselves one
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of those flip the switch teams and they're hoping to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: flip it for this playoff series. So don't even don't
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: read into the seedings. Don't that means nothing. Winning streaks
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. I'm here to tell you the truth.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Highly overrated, high, highly overrated. The game changes that you know.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I know. I'm laughs, and Nuggets won championships in lost.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: We have, we have, we have historical evidence of this.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that the Nuggets got it together
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: one twelve straight, but on Saturday on that means nothing.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: It means absolutely angry. I will start this going back
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and forth with not want your help to guys. I'm
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: gonna ask for your help. We'll pay attention. Pay attention.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start this by saying what I said yesterday.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: The winner of Game one will win this series. All right?
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Why are you so confident in that? It's just like
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: it would make sense to me for Minnesota's part of things.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I just I just feel it. I mean, I wish
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I could give you some analysis. I wish I could
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: give you some numbers. I wish I could be one
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of those you know nerds, But I can just feel
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that the winner of Game one will win this series,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: will wrestle this series at some point, wrestle at home.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I guess I've been waiting for weeks, in maybe months,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: for the Nuggets to say, all right, let's be totally
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: serious and let's suck it up defensively.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And let's good baby. Yeah.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm expecting that in Game one. But if that
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen, if they look like the Nuggets from three
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, you know, and they look they won ten
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: they won ten in a row to close out the season,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: twelve in a row to close out the season.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: But if if they don't get into this playoff mode, well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I won't know what to do with myself.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: If they don't, that just means that they don't have it.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Here we go, right, let's break down the rosters and
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: tell you how this series is gonna fall. All right,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm thinking about this forty five hours of no sleep.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Here we go. It feels like it feels like he's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: really thought about this. Superstars start with there. Who's gonna
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: be the best player in the series? When you're playing
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a series against Nikola Jokic, who has been the best
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: player on the planet for five years straight. I don't
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: think I need to finish the sentince. I understand that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: they have Anthony Edwards. I understand what he can do,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and I understand that, but nobody touches Nikola Jokic when
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with is who's the best player in the series.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: He's there, all right, So that's an easy argument. I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: don't have to spell this out for you guys, right.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know that folks in Minnesota might say, oh,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: watch out, you know, and with Edwards it's going they wouldn't.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: They would also admit, yeah, let's go with support players.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: And I say this is plural because you have to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: have I'm gonna call it to support players. Who's better
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Ag and Jamal Murray, Jamal making his first All Star game,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be all MBA AG last year rescuing the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Nuts gets time after time in close games. And on
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota side, this is a tough one. I don't
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: know who to who.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: They would call their two best support players, Julius and Jayden.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I guess so I didn't know what to do with
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Rudy there, I'll go Julius and Jayden. You're exactly right.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Jaane's coming off an injury. He may not all be
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: all the way back at We'll see. He played well
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the last two games. Julius randall. He can be really
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: good or really bad. Am I allowed to have a
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: caveat in here? Go ahead? What's your caveat?
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Healthy AG? It's Jamal and Ag, not healthy Age. It's Minnesota.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I've got that circle do on my list. And that's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: what concerns me is I'm sorry, guys, but I'm going
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to hold my breath. Sure this entire series, this entire playoffs.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: We should because recent memory is going to bubble up
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna hope that he holds up right. So
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: between those two support players, the two support players who
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: you got. I have a healthy ag in Jamal. That's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: what they have as well. I mean Jamal is on
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a different level. Of course, Jamal is playing the best
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: basketball of his career. In the series they lost to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Minnesota in twenty twenty four, he was not good. Remember
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he threw that he packed on the four in the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: second game. He just was not at his standards that
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and he you know exactly, it just wasn't the same player.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They were just tired. He's a much better. You have
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: two of the three.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Best players in this series. That's that's I think. Inarguable
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: and Jamal are two of the best players.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: In ant Is.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Ant Is a really number two. It's Jo Kiches all
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: the way up here. Aunt is somewhere in here, and
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Jamal's like right on.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But I would say this, Jamal could get to it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Jamal could be it. Let's finish off the start of five.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Let's finish off the starting five. So we got an
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: advantage of two to nothing right now. Uh for the Nuggets,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the two role players in the starting units, the Vincenzo
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and Rudy Gobert. Now, Rudy Gobert is a walking double double.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: He can change a game with his defense. You can
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: say what you want about him, but that's what he is.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: On the nugget side, CB and Cam Cam's come on strong.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Cebe's got to hit open looks because they're gonna give
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: him open looks. They're gonna they're gonna allow him to shoot. Yeah,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: they've been good as of late. They were too inconsistent
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: this year. I'll give it to Minnesota.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: That's fine, But a confident Cam look in the last
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: month of the season, last three weeks.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Dude, he there was zero hesitating to trust that that continues.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, all we have to take a break because
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: apparently you went way too long setting this up. When
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: we come back, I want to finish this analysis of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the rosters.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: My my breakdown was less time than you trying to
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: figure out where South was.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that cost us dearly the fact that you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: raised that question.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Reminder, the keyword for this hour is Jennings. Gives you
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: a chance to get in the building Sunday for Game
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: one against La texts Jennings in your first last name
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: to three zero three five four nine two five Frank
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Kellyano's gonna be in studio with us at nine twenty
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: this morning, but uh Vic can continue your roster breakdown
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: of Nuggets and tea Wars to catch up.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry this has taken a while. I apologize
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: for my co host who continue to waste time that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: should have been done really quickly in that first segment
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and efficiently. But they go on and on about time zones.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: And you're lucky that you know why you're in a
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: weird mood today because I tell you what, I would
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: plant one right in between your eyeball.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: You can't because you know why. And so you you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: were guilted in not saying anything. Here we go, Brett.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: That's why he's him, and you exactly right, that's exactly right.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That is true. We gave you about to punch him
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: in the phrase. We compared the rosters from the starting
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: five's perspective, and the best player in the series is
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: obviously Nicola, a secondary role player, the secondary player secondary stars.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I should say advantage to the Nuggets. I'll go with
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Ag and Jamal over Julius Randall and Jade McDaniels, the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: role starters, the Vincenzo and Rudy. You guys give a
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: slight nod to those two oversee being cam and I
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: don't think most you did. I did, and this could go.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It depends a lot on shooting and making even shot I.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Didn't because they think, look if yeah, if they're making shots,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: then it's a no brainer, brother, no brainer.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the bench because in this
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: series the Nuggets clearly have a better bench than they
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty four. And one of the reasons
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: they lost this series in twenty four is because they
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: didn't have quite the bench to lean on. This time
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: they do. But do they My chief concern, and I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: told you guys all week going into this series, is
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the availability of Peyton Watson. Yeah, Spencer Jones. It's not Peyton, Spencer.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Both of you have to conduct a full practice. It's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Friday today, Yep, I'm gonna go out the Nuggets practice today.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: It's Friday. What if they don't play, If you don't
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: play these guys, and they're called game time decisions, I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: don't know. But if they don't play in this series,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you're missing two defensive forward stalwarts, two wings who can
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: match up on the perimeter. And if you don't have
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: them at the ready, guys, that's a big loss. That's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: a bigger loss than people think. Well, if.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: If they can't go, it changes a lot, a lot.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying you can't get bye, I'm not saying
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you can't get buy. What I'm saying is that it
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: makes it so much more different.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: So the theme this this whole run into the postseason
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: was be healthy, right, stay healthy? Ohther or not? They're
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: pretty healthy, pretty healthy. I mean when they won a
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: title in twenty twenty three, what were they they were
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: totally Were there any question marks for any players? There wasn't.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: But they were only capable of going eight deep with
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that team. What do you think they're gonna do with
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: this team? Most of these games are going to be
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: eight maybe nine?
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Because that's what the NBA does. Okay, he doesn't they
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: win titles? Well, they've got fifteen people that they got
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a B team that could be a playoff team.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Right now, let me ask you something right now, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: talk I've thought about this a lot. You make the
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Porter trade to expand your ability to go deeper on
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: the bench. Why would you negate that by not doing
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: it when you the whole purpose was to make the
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: trade to build rooms.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: So are you saying what do you want to see
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: him outfit an entire second unit of bench players.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying like they have to do it every game,
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: but I am using Peyton Watson the postseason. I'm using
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Tim Hardaway, I am using Round, I'm using Valancutas, I'm
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: using Strawther, I'm using Spencer Jones like I'm using them.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: You may have to use guys based on availability. Julian
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Strather may have to play more than you wanted him
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to play for whatever reason. I love his game, by
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the way, I love it. Yeah, but I don't know
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: what the status is of Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: They're keeping that very hush hush. I mean that's a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: strategic thing, right, you don't want them knowing. Okay, but
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: if those guys are going to go for what's the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: what's the status of Jaden McDaniels. He played the final
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: two games of the regular team, played well? Did he play?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Look fine? It's fine, okay. Anthony Edwards is more of
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: a question mark than Jane McDaniels because he's had the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: same lea issue, the same issue that is that has
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: thwarted Steph Curry and some days it's good. Some days
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: it's bad. So we'll see, you know, we'll see where
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that ends up. Man. These ham strings, yeah, that's a
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: different deal man. The ham strings with the Nuggets this
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: year have been unreal. Three Hammys and that drives me crazy.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, though, is it possible.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Is it possible that the Nuggets are just being overly, overly, overly,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: overly cautious with these guys and maybe they know something
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: that we don't and they're throwing it out there is
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: on Off gonna be ready and Spencer's gonna be ready,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: be doing it well.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they're not ready, that's I'd rather have
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: them available. Listen, you're asking guys to go from zero
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: to one hundred in a playoff atmosphere, Guys who haven't
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: played for two weeks, right, you go zero to one hundred.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Hey, get out there and they're going to try to
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: go one hundred and you hope their body holds up.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And that's asking a lot for everybody who says that. I'll,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you know, rest them up. They'll be fine. That's why
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you want to try and play guys a couple times
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: before the playoffs. Yeah, to get them back into that
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: mode they were unable to do that with these two players.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: That concerns me. Sorry, there's only so much you can
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: get out of practice, agreed. Now. On the Minnesota side
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: their bench, nas Reed is a defending six Man of
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the Year. I don't need to say anything different. He
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: can change a game by himself. It's very good, okay.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But not only that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Nas Reid when his hair is in, when his hair
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: is in really good shape, he plays even tougher.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Has not shot the ball well since the All Star
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: break with a lingering shoulder. That doesn't it doesn't matter
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: for nasri okay. But I'm just telling you, okay. They
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: brought an io from Chicago who's a guard that can play.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: How do you say, possu soon move soon love the acquisition,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Omega Omega move.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: We'll see how he does in a playoff environment. But
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: that's a don't sleep. And I mentioned his name the
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: other day and you laughed it off and said it
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal. And I'm telling you, I'm telling
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you right now, Kyle Anderson is going to make an
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: impact in this series. I'm telling you right now. Circle
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: his name on your list. Do you have a list.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: If you don't have one, Put one together. You're driving
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: your car around Denver. Put your list together. Now, Scott
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Mediaite can make an impact with his forehead. I'm telling
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: you now, you guys may say he was just a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: late ad.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: He was.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I bought off the trade, the trade heap, you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: buy out market. He's going to play in this series
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and at one point in the series you're gonna hate him.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: You're going to hate him. At one point in this series,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: he is going to come off the bench and contribute
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: for that second unit in Minnesota.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: If Kyle Anderson provides an issue the Denver Nuggets, the
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Nuggets cannot be taken seriously.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just I'm giving you the names, and I'll
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: tell you what I love about you. You soft pedaled
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that perfectly. What you just vick you. I know you're
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: you are up to your elbows in this. I get it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: But Brett is right for a layman's kind of term.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: If the forehead gives you a problem and you lose
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: because of the forehead, you deserve.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: To freaking lose. Okay, all right, so let me King
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: could not have said it any better. Let me finish
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: this off. A couple wild card bench players Bones Highland
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: last time they came to Denver. He's actually playing better
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: most I don't like your attitude. When I come up
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: with legit players who can make legit impact.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I would be more concerned with Bones than I would
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: be SlowMo.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Did they ever find his dog Bones Highland? If you
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: go back to the last game they played against the Nuggets,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the only time they've beaten the Nuggets, he was the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: reason Minnesota won that game. Yeah, the Nuggets won three.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you he's he's gonna be an
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: impact player in series. He's gonna get some time and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna like it. So that's another So I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: would rank that the benches barring. I see Tim Hardaway.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Junior's fire. We know what he is. He's fire, right,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: He's fire. But I don't know the status of Peyton
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Watson and Spencer Jones. I just don't know.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: I'll do the caveat again healthy the Nuggets are better
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: without Peyton Watson.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Okay, the last comp and I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: guess I lumped this all in one pump that hog baby,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I'll say coaching kismet revenge, I don't know. I'm always
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: camping hog.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I honestly don't know how to judge Adaman yet. And
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: I know that sounds weird because he's coached for an
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: entire year, but he had last year which was just
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: kind of thrown into a spot hard to judge, and
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: this year there's been so many injuries. I think it's
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: been tough to judge.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I do know this. There's a ton of pressure on
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: both coaching staffs right there. Just is for the Nuggets.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: The pressure mounts because this roster was built to contend
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and you don't want to look at your fan base
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: in the face and say, we just got ousted in
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the first round. Absolutely, I mean, you just can't do that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I think they felt great about themselves before the year
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: began time to produce.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: On the other side, Minnesota's coaching staff, this could be
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: a ride or die series for that. They've had a lot.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, there's folks in Minnesota that want
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: to switch out coaches now. It's one of those impatient
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: fan bases right now because they've been to two Western
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Conference finals and they're like, when are we going to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: get to the mountaintop. Yeah, that's the way it is.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: That I'm just telling you what the feeling is from Minnesota,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: so that's where I put it. Somebody says Vick is
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: just stressing out nuggets fans. No, I'm not. I'm laying
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: out the groundwork here. If you can't handle the truth,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like a doctor and I'm giving you your diagnosis.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Go in a fetal position. What are you gonna do?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: You're gonna go home and sleep now. I'm telling you
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: what's at steak here, and I'm giving you the pluses
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and minuses. If you can't consume that like an adult,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: go watch and go listen to smooth jazz with the
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Moon Channel. It's game one. I talked about the Moon
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Channel in a lot. I know one thirty tomorrow.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Tip Ball Arena now gets her a six and a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: half point favorite.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: They're your favorite in this series. They got the home court.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Can I handle it? I can handle all of it. Yeah,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: lick them. What's the music going on for?
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: What You're not laying anything? No, it's in six period.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: End of story.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Stop with the matching of the people and the bench
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: and all this kind And Kyle the forehead, Oh my god,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Kyle Anderson, I see him in my dreams.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: And Scar would you offer me this. This will be
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: a close series. No matter how many games it goes,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the games will be tight. Will you give me that? Yeah,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I'll give you that. But the Nuggets in six? Lay
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: it down?
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Lay it down, I agree with I agree with MOJ though.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: I agree with MOJ. I think that when you have
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: where are you going?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? What is it? What is this?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Why are you hugging me? What is this? That's a
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: tight squeeze? Agree?
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Lay that down?
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: Well, look, I mean again, Minnesota is a good team,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: but this is how I'm judging things like, I'm taking
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: this all based kind of off of what are you do?
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: I think the Nuggets have an opportunity to win a
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: championship this year, Yeah I do.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's an outside shot.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: They aren't the favorite horse, nothing like that, but they
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: got an opportunity Minnesota has none. There is no world
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: that exists that I see this Minnesota team making it
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: to an NBA Finals.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: You're better, you're better And if you don't win this game,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to call it. It's unacceptable this series.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I should say, well, it would be an utter disappointment.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought I knew what disappointment was after
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: watching Game seven and twenty twenty four Fellas when they
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: blew that lead. I thought that was the most disappointment
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I could ever face. Right watching the Nuggets, and then
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I watched the Jerry West documentary last night, the logo,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: yeah you want to talk about disappointment, required viewing, required
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: viewing for all listeners. That, dude, do you know how
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: many finals championship series he lost to Boston alone in
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the sixties.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Six I'm telling you, dude, when you go up against
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: it's the old Peter Brick Nabbs situation and those Boston Bruins.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: You would have won three Stanley Cups, but every single
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: year you had to face the Montreal Canadians who had
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: eleven Hall of Famers.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: On the roster. Yeah, what are you going to do?
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: You had to face the Boston Celtics, who are the
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: biggest dynasty in the history of sports.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I thought I knew what sports disappointment was. I thought
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I knew, And then I watched that series and said,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: oh my god, my goodness.
• 44:17
