Now, Denver always does this, where it's regular season, and they look a certain way, and they play a certain way for...

you know, several weeks and you feel like you know who they are and then they get to the playoffs and they're able to figure stuff out.

And so I kind of give them the benefit of the doubt a little bit with their defense.

But if this is who shows up, this team's not getting out of round one.

Like the West is too hard.

I also think, listen,

I mean, I still think despite what we've seen with Denver, I still think Denver is at the top of the list.

I just think like playoff experience matters.

And so I think that Denver is still at the top of the list for the Thunder.

Then I think it's probably San Antonio.

You have playoff experience, and then you have Victor Wimbinyama, who is something we've never seen ever.

They played well against OKC.

I would still favor OKC.

And then, I don't know, we've seen the Thunder play this Minnesota team in the playoffs.

They've been able to

play them quite well.

The Rockets can't close games.

The Lakers don't have the defenders to defend guys like Shea and Dub and AJ and even Jared McCain, who had a really nice night tonight for the Thunder.

But I really think it's Denver and then San Antonio.

And then I think everybody else is...
