The Fellas Look Ahead to Denver & OKC’s Second Round Matchup 🍿 | NBA on TNT

L AUTOMOTIVE PARTNER OF THE NBA. >> YO YO COACHES. >> OH, BARKLEY. >> MY BAD PENNIES. MOM. YOU’RE RIGHT. THAT’S AN UGLY PERSON I WOULD KISS. >> NO, HE KISSED YOU. >> THAT’S. WELL, THAT’S THE SAME THING WITH TWO PEOPLE KISSING. THEY’RE KISSING EACH OTHER. NO, HE DIDN’T KISS YOU. TWO PEOPLE KISSING. >> THAT WAS. >> TRYING TO BITE YOUR BIG APPLE. HEAD OFF THE CANDY APPLE HEAD. HEY, DUDE. LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE CANDY APPLE. OKAY. YOU READY? >> OH, HERE WE GO. >> SUNDAY NIGHT ON TBT ON TBE ICE. WE GOT BLUES AGAINST THE TV ON TBS, STREAMING ON MAX. WE GOT THE BLUES AGAINST THE WINNIPEG JETS. GAME SEVEN TOMORROW NIGHT. CANNOT WAIT. MR. HELEN BUCK, YOU GOT TO DO IT TOMORROW. YOU’RE GOING TO WIN THE VEZINA TROPHY. BUT WE NEED YOU TO COME UP BIG TOMORROW NIGHT. >> AND WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE? >> STREAMING ON MAX? AND HEY, MARK SCHEIFELE, I HOPE YOU’RE ABLE TO PLAY. I KNOW IT’S A GAME TIME DECISION, BUT GOOD LUCK. >> GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND ON A FULL SCREEN PROMO. BUT THAT’S WHAT YOU DO NOW. IT’S THE NUGGETS AND THE THUNDER. THEY OPEN THE SEASON FACING EACH OTHER. THEY SPLIT TWO TWO. SGA ALONG THE WAY. HAD A 40 POINT GAME IN A THUNDER WIN. JOKER HAD A COUPLE OF TRIPLE DOUBLES. ONE OF THOSE A 23, 20 AND 16 JOB. AND IN THEIR LAST 16 GAMES THESE TWO TEAMS ARE EIGHT AND EIGHT. ARE YOU HOW ARE YOU SEEING IT, JET? >> IT’S INTERESTING THAT TWO GUYS WHO ARE THE BEST PLAYERS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE EVERY NIGHT. YOU KNOW, SHAY GILGEOUS ALEXANDER, HIS ABILITY TO SCORE WILL BE BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE. YOU KNOW, MAYBE THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO A DIFFERENT RUSSELL WESTBROOK WOULD BE ABLE TO GUARD HIM ON A ON A NIGHTLY BASIS. BUT I THINK HE HAS THE ADVANTAGE. AND THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER END. HARTENSTEIN AND ALL THOSE GUYS CANNOT GUARD THE JOKER. SO THIS SHOULD BE A SERIES WHERE EVERYTHING GOES THROUGH THE MAIN GUYS AND YOU, AND YOU’VE SEEN THE NUMBERS THAT THEY HAD DURING THE REGULAR SEASON 30 AND A TRIPLE DOUBLE BASICALLY FOR JOKIC. SO I’M EXPECTING THIS TO BE MORE OF A STAR LADEN SERIES. >> AND BOTH TEAMS ARE SIMILAR TO THE POINT THAT IF YOU START MESSING AROUND HELPING OUT ON THE MAIN GUY, HE GETS RID OF IT. YOU KNOW, SGA GETS RID OF IT TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS, J DUB, AND ALL THE OTHER IS ON THE THREE POINT LINE. DENVER. YOU KNOW, AS WE SAW TONIGHT, JOKER DIDN’T HAVE A GREAT GAME, BUT HE WAS LOOKING FOR EVERYBODY. SO THEY’RE SIMILAR. BUT I’M LEANING TOWARDS DENVER. WHO ARE YOU REALLY. BECAUSE I’M RUSS IS I’M I LIKE TO SEE RUSS GET A CHAMPIONSHIP AND JOKER BEING PART OF THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE. HE’S GOING. >> THROUGH OKLAHOMA CITY RUSSELL WESTBROOK. >> I WAS DRAFTED AND KENNY YOU KNOW THIS. AND CHUCK YOU ALSO KNOW THIS. IN ORDER TO BE THE BEST YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE BEST. SO THIS WILL BE A GOOD CHALLENGE FOR THEM. BUT I’M LEANING TOWARDS DENVER. >> KORNET WHICH WAY ARE YOU LEANING. >> I’M NOT LEANING I’M GOING OKC. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE THAT MAKE ME THINK ANYBODY’S GOING TO BEAT OKC. AND I THINK THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE DENVER HAS NOT DID ANYTHING WITH THEIR BENCH. OKLAHOMA CITY PROBABLY HAS THE BEST BENCH IN THE NBA. I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THIS SERIES. I MEAN DENVER THEY DON’T HAVE A BENCH. THEY JUST REALLY IT’S JUST RUSS WATSON CAME IN AND PLAYED WELL TONIGHT. BUT THOSE BOYS FROM OKLAHOMA CITY THEY BENCH. THEY’VE BEEN TO HAVE THE BEST BENCH IN THE NBA ALL SEASON LONG. >> YEAH. AVERAGED AVERAGE 35 AGAINST MEMPHIS IN THAT FOUR GAME SWEEP. MEANTIME DENVER MOVES ON. AND THIS WAS DAVID ADELMAN IN THE LOCKER ROOM AFTERWARDS. >> EVERYBODY THAT CAME IN CONTRIBUTED WAS WAS INCREDIBLE. >> EVERYTHING WE DID HE DID SO HARD. AND I THOUGHT THE SMALLEST THINGS STUNTING AFTER SHRINKING SMALL THINGS. THE ZONE JUST HOW ACTIVE WE WERE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME. DEFENSIVELY ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. AND A BUNCH OF GUYS IN HERE MADE ENORMOUS SHOTS. THEY WERE FULL ROTATING TO PEOPLE. THE OPEN MAN ONE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, EVERYBODY STEPPED UP CONFIDENTLY. OKAY, REALLY PROUD OF YOU. WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS MAN. UNBELIEVABLE SERIES AGAINST A REALLY GOOD TEAM. WE WON THE SERIES. CONGRATULATIONS OKAY NOW WE GO TO OKC TOMORROW. AND NOW THE THING RESTARTS. SO ENJOY THIS TONIGHT. ENJOY THIS. YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THESE SUCCESSES OKAY. WE GET ON THE PLANE TOMORROW. WE LAND IN OKC. THAT’S WHEN WE START THINKING ABOUT THE THUNDER. SO PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS GROUP. THANK YOU. >> GREAT TEAM WIN FELLAS. HERE WE GO. NUGGETS ON 3123. >> SO YOU GUYS EXCEEDED A LOT OF THE EXTERNAL EXPECTATIONS THIS SEASON. BUT IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE ALL YEAR LONG INTERNALLY YOU GUYS HAD A LOT BIGGER GOALS FOR YOURSELF THAN WHAT YOU KNOW THE OUTSIDE EXPECTATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN HOW DO YOU KIND OF EMOTIONALLY JUST TAKE THAT ALL IN AT THIS POINT, KNOWING THAT YOU GUYS DID EXCEED EXPECTATIONS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME DIDN’T GO NEARLY AS FAR AS YOU WANTED TO? >> YEAH, I MEAN, IT’S HARD BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WHEN YOU LOSE THE LAST GAME AND YOU GET ELIMINATED, YOU KNOW, IT’S TOUGH TO THINK ABOUT ALL THAT. BUT LIKE I SAID, FOR THE GUYS, YOU KNOW, FOR EVERYBODY IN THAT LOCKER ROOM WHO CONTRIBUTED AND IN ANY WAY THEY DID, I THINK IT’S HUGE. YOU KNOW, I THINK COMING OUT SUPPOSED TO WIN 35 GAMES. AND YOU KNOW, WE WIN 50 GAMES AND, YOU KNOW, GET TO THE FIFTH SEED AND PLAY AGAINST A REALLY GOOD TEAM. YOU KNOW. AND SO WE HAD OUR OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEN TONIGHT YOU KNOW IT WAS JUST A TOUGH LOSS FOR US. SO I THINK EVERYBODY IS THINKING ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THE LOCKER ROOM FROM COACHES TO PLAYERS ARE GREAT COMPETITORS. >> AARON GORDON, ONE OF SIX NUGGETS WITH AT LEAST 15 POINTS IN THIS GAME. NEVER SEEN THAT IN A GAME SEVEN BEFORE.
