00:00If we get every team at full strength, which is what we expect,
00:04Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon for Denver,
00:09Kawhi Leonard, James Harden of Eatsa Zubats, and Big Will Norman Powell
00:13for the L.A. Clippers, this is going to be a sensational opening round set.
00:18It's going to be fantastic.
00:19And again, we've been robbed of Clippers basketball.
00:22And again, the Clippers don't drive the NBA, I get that.
00:25But every time they get to the playoffs, they should be a formidable opponent.
00:28And something always crazy, whether it's protocols or just injuries,
00:32like, man, we never get to see the Clippers 100% by the time the playoffs come,
00:36if they can be that Kawhi Leonard-led team that we saw in Toronto.
00:39We haven't had that.
00:41Now it looks like we might be able to get that.
00:42And as you said, it looked like it could careen off the rails after the All-Star break,
00:46but they got it together.
00:47And they have everything you need.
00:48Active bigs, defensive talent, superstars that have won championships like Kawhi Leonard,
00:53James Harden at any given night can give you the 25, 10, and 10, it feels like,
00:57still at his age, playing good basketball down the stretch.
01:00Our guy, Norm Powell, dropping three-point shots.
01:01If he can Zubach down low, like, the team has the makings, at least in that starting five,
01:06that can do some damage.
01:07And I talk about this again.
01:08It's the same talking points.
01:09It's not the regular season where you've got to rest James Harden and Kawhi Leonard
01:12on a back-to-back in certain cities.
01:14You're getting days off between games, which means you should be getting the best
01:18of your veteran players on a night-to-night basis in the playoffs,
01:21in at least rounds one and rounds number two.
01:23That helps, and that's why you're seeing the Clippers here at a minus 118 price.
01:27Nobody really roots for the Clippers, per se, but I sort of glommed on to them saying,
01:31this is a team at a good price with really good players that I do think can win a series
01:35or two, which means that ticket becomes valid.
01:38And if you win a series or two, whoa, now you're in the Western Conference Finals.
01:41Watch out.
01:42This team's winning games and healthy.
01:43Let's see what they can do.
01:44Let's see what they can do.
