⚡Pod Preview

On this week's podcast, Brandon and John break down the first two games of the series and preview Game 3 and beyond:

⚡Energized?

OKC won't win every game by 40+, but was Game 2 closer to the gap between these teams than the Game 1 result? The Thunder looked themselves in their bounceback thrashing on Wednesday. The Nuggets are returning home with the home court edge in the series. Will the deep, rested OKC team maintain their electricity? Will Denver, conditioned by the mile high oxygen, catch back up to the young Thunder? If the latter is true, the game should be close. If OKC's roster is as far ahead as I suspect, the series will be tilting back decidedly in Oklahoma City's favor tonight.
