The Nuggets played the Thunder last year in the playoffs.

I'm almost wondering if I'm kind of with you.

I'm equally...

I'm not scared.

I'm not scared.

But I think either of those opponents are at a similar level of difficulty in a playoff series almost.

I would still say the Thunder are a slightly more difficult matchup, but they're both going to be really tough opponents.

I'd much rather play the Spurs.

Let me actually just say that.

But they're still both really tough.

Yeah, I think it makes it slightly less important, too.

Oh, I mean, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

A first-round loss, if you're a team like the Nuggets with Nikola Jokic, yeah, you have to think about everything.

You do have to think about, are we doing everything right in terms of roster construction and philosophy and all of this?

That would be grounds for a lot of overhaul, I would think.

I think so.

Yeah.

I think Aaron Gordon, that decision would probably be front and center in that conversation, especially with the season he's had in the last two regular seasons.
