Our other topic today, and it's our headline topic, this happens every two or three years, where I don't know what degree of hatred stirs in me most. Yeah. Are the wolves still the nuggets biggest rivalry? I think maybe, but after that O.K.C. game and loot door dirty, dirty ass loot door and all this stuff, I'm not so sure, and then the Lakers are still there. It might be the first round matchup with the nuggets. I don't really like Houston. Wendy's common are the wolves still the number one rival to the Denver Nuggets in your mind. No. Really? No, it's the thunder. Oh, it's so clearly the thunder. Did this happen yesterday or this weekend? Yes. Okay. All right. Let's go. Two days ago was when this flipped, I think officially it had been the wolves for a while and rightfully so Nuggets thunder coming off a playoff series a seven game playoff series. That was an absolute war and Coming off that game the other night and you know, the loot door incident magnified and even more I think I think that even made it more of a rivalry. So

To me, it's the thunder. I think pretty clearly right now and I mean, yes, Minnesota would be a tough playoff series. No doubt there'd be a lot of emotions in that. It would not be more emotional I feel like then Nuggets thunder round two playoff series. Man, what do you think, Dev? For me, it's still the thunder. I'm sorry. Sorry. The Timberwolves. It is. It's the Timberwolves. They're just two intertwined, twined, two connected. You have Tim Connelly factor. I still think about game 82 That's just like enshrined in me until you beat this team in the playoffs. I think that that's just there, but I just feel like there's a real thing there. Anthony Edwards Is trash talking after every single game They have bones highland now like it's not a big factor, but it's something they're like there's something about the Timberwolves And it just it just seems likely that you're going to end up playing them So I think that adds to it. So I would go with the Timberwolves as the team that I think is the rivalry. I think this one's headed to OT for me. I'm not sure

The thunder I feel like you did that game just got me where I'm like, you know what? This is where it is now, but maybe I feel that way after tonight. I mean the Timberwolves still have a lot of players that you know get your blood boiling and they don't Still have to get them back, but they have to get the thunder back too and The the thing that was such a so annoying It's easy for you to just Admonish your own guys when they do something bad, you know, we do it all the time on this show But being up guys people say sometimes we're too hard. They think we hate yoke it's even sometimes We talked about his flopping this year and how it went to a different level. We don't like it The way that Royce White or who is it? What's his name? Royce? What is his name? Royce Young Royce Young the thunder and play thunder and play and all of the thunder media were just like that's a normal screen I just I don't even know what we're talking about You're like literally nobody else under thought that nobody else thought that it was just and I'm just like you know what? We got to get him now. I want the thunder in the playoffs I want to have to go through that

Because you want to get them back and I think it might be the thunder that being said To not get to play the Lakers in the first round. I think it's the Lakers They play the Timberwolves in the second round. I think it's the Timberwolves. They play the we all are the Lakers It's situational we own them. I'm just saying I still hate the Lakers and I would love to love Of course, I would still love to watch us, you know, humiliate them and I'm not even kidding when I say The only reason we don't hate Houston or San Antonio quite as much yet is we haven't played them Yeah, we haven't played them but it's coming. I guarantee we're gonna hate the Rockets and spurs by years end And if we match up in a playoff series I promise nuggets fans are gonna hate them with the same passion they're bringing to these ones So what kind of what makes the West so good right now you kind of hate all of the teams that are in it That's what makes for the league so good. It's very situational It's kind of like big valve with my hate like some matchups call for more hate And and and it's just depending on who they play is when I bring that hate out It is true some matchups do call for a little bit more
