Why the Denver Nuggets are the Favorites to Win the Championship

Why the Denver Nuggets are the Favorites to Win the Championship

Speaking of Anthony Edwards I was watching Minnesota in Denver last night and look Minnesota did not have uh Carl towns Minnesota by the way who uh I forget who it was I saw I think it was Stephen A Smith I saw on TV yesterday who accidentally called Carl TOS Cat

Williams he was trying to say cat and I cannot think of that’s a Somali and Samoa situation right there I canot think of two things as close yet as far apart as Carl TOs and K Williams I can only imagine if if I let Cat Williams meet Carl towns for 15 minutes

I can only imagine what the interview would be like about that everything that Cat Williams would say about Carl towns would be true fair we don’t consider Cat Williams an actual liar about other people but when cat goes to say I dumped on Carl th that’s where we would draw the line cuz

He would say I’ll say this did you see that did you see that video of him supposedly running that that sub 540 I need to see the stopwatch but I did see it I did see it I saw the stopwatch I’m like this can’t be true man like cuz the

Worst thing to happen with somebody like Cat Williams is just one of those things turning out to be true right I told you about the dude I went to college with and he had many stories one of them was that he once bounced off a man like it

Was a ramp when they was endangered but he he said that he I can’t remember if he dunked on somebody he was just killing somebody on the court I can’t remember which but he said the dude left and then he came back and he shot up the

Court and then after he shot up to the court he walked up to my man and put the gun in my man’s head and my man said he was like and just walked away and we were like wow what kind of gun was it and he said it was a

AK-47 so um like he said he mowed down the whole flow whole Court everybody left but for some reason he stayed and to get this coner service from the gunman who put this blazing hot AK-47 to his head and all he did was simply dismiss the notion and dismiss the idea

If any of his stories had ever turned out to be true I’d have been so messed up yeah one thing makes everything true literally one thing makes everything true like I had a dude tell me that his brother grew up with Quest love but this

Dude grew up on the back roads of North Carolina and so that seemed impossible and so he’s telling us he play the drums and we like yeah whatever and then one day we pull up to his crib and it’s a drum set messed everything up oh no so

He became a like a credible Storyteller no no he did not become credible it just became impossible to dismiss everything right it’s like one of these it’s like Russia roulette basically like there’s only one in the chamber but there’s one if C Williams said that he dunked on Carl towns would it be

Impossible to believe or would it be impossible to believe because C Williams is 5’2 that’s I wouldn’t believe that he did it on a 10- foot goal but if he told me he found like a N9 foot goal just maybe but I will say this about that

Game and it was interesting um Minnesota and I felt like this happened to Minnesota in the playoffs last year too they can get in these situations where they just feel like they need a bucket and everybody just start heaving threes right whether they go in or not they

Just they just keep trying like like if you anybody’s ever played golf and you get mad and you just you stop you stop even sizing that up you just walk up to it and hit it right you just keep going you just so mad you just keep

Again again again you need to just stop and breathe no man you just keep on swanging I feel like Minnesota winds up in those places and I feel like it’s encouraging that they didn’t have towns or go bear and they played well against Denver but I also came away from that

Feeling like why we acting like the Champs ain’t the Champs dog man it was two things that came away and I just recorded my podcast and that was one of the things that I said Mo was like there’s an inevitability about I don’t know if it’s inevitable about Denver but

It feels like joic is inevitable and because everything runs through yic like you know you can almost close your eyes and visualize okay if it’s a tight game in the last four or five minutes you know what play they gonna run they gonna run a highscreen

Row Murray is going to give it to joic somewhere between 18 and 20 feet and he’s either gonna back his man down and wait for somebody to come to the dunker or wait for somebody to not come and just score like he’s literally like playing backyard basketball and when I

Say Backyard Basketball I mean like Bo you you know how our philosophies are on letting kids beat you you don’t let kids beat you you you you that’s not a way to teach them anything I feel like that’s yic when it’s like oh the game is close

And you might be thinking about winning son let me just give you this old man game and back back back you down to the point where you would be like hey Pops you cheating man you know this ain’t Fair yes like you know I can’t from back

Down that’s what it feels like with yic except he’s doing this to grown ass men we don’t consider this to be an extraordinarily great yic year and he’s the clear-cut MVP and they’re the Champs I don’t know why we don’t treat them like Champions right so like when

Toronto won that Championship I got us not treating them like Champions the year after cuz Kawai left right like that was a fundamental change in what what that team was was but these are the Champs and the Champs are back intact and Michael Porter has figured out okay

So this is what I do here cool Jamal Murray okay this is what I do they got a dude that’s at the center of this who and I think this is a very important point about him when your star plays like that everybody know they got to you

Know you got to give up a little bit because that dude would be giving it up all the time again Aaron Gordon is your fourth best player they are the Champs period I don’t know who it is anybody think about to beat them remember 2001 the Lakers kind of had like a malayi

Regular season and the West had six teams win 50 games six okay and you know what the Lakers did that playoff run they didn’t lose a damn game till they got to the finals because it was inevitable because you had Shaq and you had Kobe and this team doesn’t have Kobe

But Bo there is this sort of air that Denver has like when a champion walks into a building they know how long they have to play to put you away they know how hard they have to play or they know walking into the building we’re the Champs you’re not

And we know that you can’t compete with us and the game is one before it’s ever tipped off and I think that’s the sweet spot that Denver’s in right now prize picks is the most fun you can have by winning up to 25 times your money this
