00:00Here is Joker. What do the Nuggets need to do on Sunday, Game 7 in OKC?
00:05Probably defense. I think probably defense details, rebounding for us, especially because how much they're attacking the glass, turnovers for us.
00:16You know, it depends how the game will open up if we slow down and if they start running, you know, I think it depends how the game opens up, you know.
00:28So because they want to push the pace, they want to drive, they want to drive and kick, they want to find open looks.
00:35And we kind of want to maybe a little bit slower game to get open looks differently.
00:42So I think it's interesting to watch.
00:46And I think the defense box out, turnovers, that's going to probably decide the winner.
00:56There you go. I got about 51%. It went up from 44 to 51 in terms of what I absorbed there of what he said.
01:05But it sounds to me like all the little things, all the little things add up.
01:08The rebounds, the 50-50 balls, the turnovers, the steals, you know, I think it's going to be huge.
01:15Look, the one thing I would agree with most about that I heard him say in there is we can't let them get out running.
01:20Because they're young and they will run you out of the building.
01:24If they get a run going, you know, a 5-0, 10-0, 12-15, 18-0 run, it's over.
01:30Like, they'll start running you out of the building.
01:32Like, they will just run you to death.
01:35They can't let that happen.
01:36I think the Nuggets have to suck them in tempo-wise into a half-court war and slow it down and pull it back and take good shots.
01:44To me, it's about good looks.
01:46Move the ball, take good looks, and they've got to get the ball in his hands because I think all their best looks come off of his hands.
01:54Whether it's him shooting or whether it's him finding someone open like Brown.
02:00Now, look, I said it yesterday.
02:01I've never seen a guy with touch like that.
02:03Like, literal rim bounce touch.
02:06Like, when he shoots that floater and that little hook, I've never seen a ball that doesn't bounce off the rim.
02:12His ball just, like, rolls on the rim and goes in.
02:14It never bounces off.
02:16Like, when I shoot and miss, mine clanks off and you miss.
02:19This guy has the softest touch I've ever seen, like a pillow.
02:24He certainly does.
02:26And, look, he's the best in the business.
02:30He really is.
02:31And hard not to back him on Sunday.
02:34Now, you have this guy on the other side, SGA, who also is going to be very excited for a Game 7.
02:42Yeah, it's the word die.
02:44It's what you live for.
02:47It's what you worked your whole life for.
02:49It's either your dream continues or your dream ends.
02:53So, you lay it all out there on the floor and live with the results.
02:56But, yeah, I'm excited for the opportunity for sure.
03:00There you go.
03:00I don't, you know, look.
03:02One team has a ring.
03:04The other one doesn't.
03:05So, basically, it's, you know, 85% of the same team that won it, minus Pope, minus Brown.
03:13They got a different Brown in there now.
03:15He spells his name like Braun.
03:17But they're, I'd say 85% of the team's the same.
03:20I think their bench is a little bit different.
03:23But it's a title team that we're talking about here.
03:26And a very young team.
03:28I don't deny how good Oak City is.
03:31In fact, I've said on this show, if Oak City wins, if the Knicks win, they'll, let's say,
03:37get to the finals and beat the Pacers, which isn't happening.
03:39But if it did, the Thunder would blow them out.
03:42Five games.
03:43Run them right out of the gym.
03:44But I think the Pacers will beat the Knicks.
03:47I need the Knicks to win tonight.
03:48If the Celtics go, I think they'll beat the Pacers, luckily enough, and get back in.
03:54And I think the Thunder would beat their ass.
03:56I really do.
03:57Same problem there.
03:58They're going to run them to death.
04:00And they're going to miss too many threes.
04:02And when you miss clank threes and they get a run, you're dead meat.
04:07So, but I also have already said on this show, if the Thunder win, I think the T-Wolves are
04:17beating them.
04:18And if Denver wins, anything's possible.
04:23I think Denver could beat Minnesota.
04:26If Denver gets in, if it's Denver, Minnesota, I think for my money, that's the better series
04:32than the young Oak City team.
04:37Against Minnesota.
04:39I think Minnesota will beat Oak City.
04:40I think they're too physical for them.
04:43I think they're young and fast and fun and everything else.
04:46The only real banger on that team, in my view, is Hartenstein.
04:50I think Caruso's tougher than any of their other young guards and players, too.
04:55I think Shea's a show-off superstar scorer.
05:00But I don't think he's that tough.
05:02You know what I mean?
05:02I don't think he wants any part of getting his head taken off.
05:05I don't think he wants that.
05:07I think he dresses like a catwalk fashionista and plays like a superstar.
05:14But I don't think he wants that smoke.
05:16He don't want any of that Randall smoke.
05:18Trust me.
