Perk calls the Clippers the BIGGEST threat to the Nuggets making the NBA Finals | NBA Countdown

NBA history get ready for action tonight Seas host those nuggets could be a preview of the NBA Finals we like saying these kinds of things the Seas currently sit as the favorites to win the championship at ESPN bet while the defending Champion nugs have the second shortest odds here’s Malik

Andrews hey thank you so very much welcome inside our Los Angeles Studio Chan gum Richard Jefferson Kendrick Perkins I’m Malika Andrew we just saw the full screen there it’s first the Celtics and then the Nuggets they have the best odds to win the NBA title so perk I’ll start with you who’s the

Biggest Challenger do you think in the East to the Celtics to win it all the team across the street and I’m not talking about the Lakers I’m talking about the Clippers so we’re going to the West oh we in the west okay all right sure look when you

Comes down to the east right I know I’ve been on my Nicks wave or whatever but you know what I got to tilt and go towards the Philadelphia 76ers they’re better than the Bucks Joel and beid right now is looking like the best player in the League they have perimeter

Defenders and they got a head coach and Nick nurse that has been there and won the championship he’s putting these guys in great situations Tyrese Maxi is not slowing down anytime soon so if I had to get Gillard the slight Edge over my New York Knicks I’mma give it to the

Philadelphia 76ers who could Dethrone the Boston Celtics to go to the NBA finals for a second I was thinking the Milwaukee Bucks but I don’t trust them especially on defense I’m thinking about the 76ers and I’m like okay but they’re still missing maybe one complimentary piece it doesn’t need to be a star

Player which makes my answer the biggest threat to the Celtics are the Celtics themselves they’ve been there they haven’t done that but if you look at their team they have the best starting five I know we’re going to debate versus Nuggets in basketball um what don’t they

Have I mean maybe the small answer is depth when necessary maybe the small answer is also christops porzingis is availability because when porzingis is on the floor he just opens things up for Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum to get going the Celtics should make it out of the

East no question based off what we’ seen from the other teams I love the Sixers I like the momentum they have but this is a complete team so I’m going with the Celtics facing them like the Spider-Man the Spider-Man here we go first of all when Stanford cheats off Arizona you

Know there’s something going on right here what I mean I may have heard Richard say you may heard say something you cheat and that’s the honesty the honesty my first ever I didn’t do it in school you didn’t in school I just did that’s fair that’s fair

The same desk my thing is like you said coaching or like I might have said before you said no it’s the coaching at the end of the day Nick nurse is Elite right we know he’s a championship code but I stand by the fact that the Celtics

They are the only team that can beat them if they are healthy in my opinion there is no one that can beat them in the Eastern confence thanks Richard in the west since perk was already champing at the bit to get there the Clippers that’s what you think is the biggest

Thre they they are the deepest team in the NBA and when Richard brought up at the beginning of the year how joic changed the game for as how guys how GM should recruit they have three bigs zubach plumbley and Daniel tis they need that and Lord knows please don’t get me

Started on kawhai in and Jordan when the playoffs come in the first Finals MVP on the floor with Dwayne Wade Chris Bosch Tim Duncan mono janob Tony Parker he was the finals MVP when you go back to the Raptor series of go golden state so why

I bring that up is because in any given series when Kawai is healthy he has the capability of being the best player in that series completely agree and like you said when you have to start adding bigs because there is a dominant big you go back to Shaq you go back to Tim

Duncan now he is that guy yic is that guy you have to have multiple bigs that can play multiple lineups that can play on multiple areas of the floor that can give you different things to go at him the Clippers are the only one no shade

To the tea wolves no shade to the thunder it’s the Clippers they’re eight and2 in the last 10 they’ve had the best record since December so yeah I’m going with the Clippers the one thing to keep an eye on with the Clippers obviously is between now and the trade deadline if

Paul George agrees to that new contract that extension with Los Angeles that’s the one thing that I continue to keep my eye on with LA all [Applause] [Applause] Right

Chiney Ogwumike, Kendrick Perkins and Richard Jefferson discuss who the biggest threat is for both the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets’ chances to making it to the NBA Finals.
