What is up, everybody, and welcome to the Locked On Nuggets podcast, part of the Lockedon NBA Network.

I'm your host, Adam Mattis from DNBR, and I'm joined today by a very special guest from Denver Stiffs. It's Ryan Blackburn

to help me preview a very exciting game seven, the fourth game seven over the last two years.

Ryan, welcome to the show man and I'm excited to get your takes brother. Like we've been texting

back and forth, but I don't know, man. I feel like I'm excited for tomorrow's games, but a little less nervous than before,

but I know that's going to go out the window as soon as they start playing.

Oh, yeah.

Once they tip off, you know that you're going to be, like your nails will be digging into

your palms and your beer is going to be shaking in your hand you'll get up at

the five the two mark when yokech hits a three and starts screaming at the bar like it's it's going to happen

it's okay and and but that's that's how sports are man game seven two best words in sports like it doesn't

get any better than this if i've learned one thing from this playoff run, it's that I'll never be satisfied.

That's the truth. Like, you know, there was a time when they were down 3-1 and you were just like,

just show me some fight. I don't care if you win. Just don't look pathetic like you did in game three.

And then of course, they won. And they was like, okay, just get it to game six. it's like I just want him to win this one it just every time you say that you get to the next round and you're just like oh if they could just win this and then you talk

well you know what it is honestly you know what it is is that we we have been on the same page in

terms of the talent level of this team you have been a believer in yokech i've been a strong

believer in jemal mur. We both believe heavily in Michael

Porter Jr. and his talent level. And the rest of these players continue to fit in and do the

things that you need them to do in order to build a full-time playoff roster that can make some

noise in the playoffs. So I'm fully with you. I think that they disappointed in terms of getting to game seven against the Utah Jazz.

But the stakes have changed now going up against the Los Angeles Clippers.
