0:00.0	Does Nikola Yokic have the most pressure on him in the NBA playoffs?
0:05.1	And who else needs to step up for the Denver Nuggets?
0:07.6	Talk to Adam R's about all that.
0:10.2	Welcome to the Lockdown NBA playoff preview.
0:12.1	I'm Nick Anxid of LockedonMBA and I'm joined by Adam Marys of Lockedon Nuggets
0:15.4	to give you everything you need to know about the Denver Nuggets going into the playoffs.
