The greatest discrepancies of the thunder and nuggets are their number of bodies.

Oklahoma City could entertain the idea of coat of arms. Denver could in the idea of playing more than seven players, Barf.

Nevertheless, in their first round, the nuggets survived the clipper in seven games. Thunder trainer Mark Daignauch does not see good luck.

“It is a quality quality with people who have experience and boys who are really effective players,” said Daigneult. “And they presented different boys at different times, and I would expect that they do it while we go into the series. So we are ready for you on the seven boys with whom you somehow close the thing, but it is a really high quality rotation.

“You have experience, you have offensive firepower, you have a defensive tenacity. They are good on the glass, they are good at the transition.”

The thunder last played nine days ago. The Nuggets have recently played within the last 48 hours and won a game 7 over the Clipper.

Advantage thunder?

Perhaps.

Nuggets Interim head coach David Adelman would certainly love to know the residual factor, which on Monday evening the 1st semi -finals of the Western Conference occurs.

“I think the advantage is peace,” said Adelman before the game. “I mean, I always do. This is part of the NBA. But I think that the emotion of gaining the game that we have just won and how well we played the first three and a half quarters on which you should build when you get into the next series.

“Yes, I hope there is rust for you. That would be great, but I expect you to get out at full speed and know that we played and you were not. It's a great advantage.”

Adelman said he was pleased with how the team has reacted since the victory on Saturday evening.

“I felt that what I saw from the boys today looked like they were ready,” said Adelman. “They looked like they moved on.”

OKC has not played a game since April 26th. And although it could be rusty at first, his fresh legs should give him an advantage over Denver, who ended his seven games against Los Angeles on Saturday. I expect the thunder to bring out a lot of energy in defense, where Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are not lacking options. And on the offensive, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams will be a handful of a Denver team that does not have as many Lockdown defenders. Give me Okc at home.
