Transcript

00:00 A lot of people are sleeping on the Denver Nuggets chances to defeat the LA Clippers

00:04 in the second round of the playoffs.

00:06 Kawhi Leonard isn't taking them lightly.

00:09 When we asked him about what's he paying attention to with this Denver Nuggets team, one of the

00:13 things he pointed out was their will to win.

00:16 And that's something that people need to take into account when it comes to Denver.

00:19 They might not have the same skill level, they might not have the same talent as the

00:22 Clippers, but their will to win right now is they just came off of an emotional, immeasurable

00:27 three-to-one deficit comeback.

00:30 They're the 12th team in NBA history to do so, and that gives you a certain type of momentum

00:35 that very few people can have.

00:38 The biggest difference, you know, the Clippers may have stomped the Nuggets in February and

00:41 seemed like, oh, they can handle them.

00:43 The biggest difference between the Nuggets in February to now is the emergence of Michael

00:46 Porter Jr.

00:47 And we don't know how much he's going to play, but when we spoke to Porter Jr. on a conference

00:53 call today, he mentioned he's looking forward to facing the Clippers because of the fact

00:56 that they passed him up for Jerome Robinson.

00:59 So it looks like he wants to have a revenge series against the team.

01:03 Now the conference semifinals begins tomorrow, and it'll be interesting to see if the Nuggets

01:08 can get enough energy to keep up with the Clippers.
