I think they have a shot in this one.

They beat the Celtics.

The sleepy burrow of Manhattan.

They might make some noise out of there.

Keep your club exclusive is exactly right.

The Knickerbockers don't matter outside of the early 70s.

You don't want them passing the velvet rope that you're on the right side of.

I could see that side.

I think trying to cultivate matchups is a bad idea spiritually.

Then you get it.

Don't beg for a certain matchup because then that team's going to play you with a chip on its shoulder if that's at all public.

I just think it's bad juju.

I agree.

Right.

Everybody knows Tom Brady was a six-round pick and Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard and Tony Gonzalez played college basketball.

At least those things are true.

I think that one of those things that is a touchstone that comes up every single broadcast, not just with the Denver Nuggets, a whole team, but with the entire city of Denver, the entire sports town, it is never not mentioned the altitude and the advantage that that gives the whole team.

5280.

Everybody talks about that.

Shouldn't all of Denver sports teams, shouldn't they all be ashamed for not winning more?
