This has the makings of being a real good series. Two MVP candidates, two great teams going against each other. Denver's bench makes me weary, and their rotation was already short as it was. Russ will continue to be the wildcard, you gonna take the good with the bad and everything in between. Jokic should have it a bit easier matchup wise as Zu I thought held his own. I got OKC though as I just think they have too many scoring options and can lock up on defense.

This is a fascinating series because Denver is much bigger across the board than OKC. We'll see where their energy level is for seven games but I could see them wearing OKC down over the course of two weeks. Jokic and Gordon are super physical and should be able to punish OKC inside.

MPJ is a scrub but he'll be able to shoot over anybody on the court.

This all probably comes down to how Murray holds up. If he's consistently in the 20-25 range, Denver wins this series. If he's in shackles, OKC probably rolls.
