Channing Frye explains why one of the LA Clippers or Denver Nuggets can register the 4-0 series win.
The Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets opening round series is expected to be filled with fireworks as both sides have huge star powers.
Moreover, both teams were inseparable during the regular season as they finished fourth and fifth in Western Conference standings with a 50-32 record.
Nevertheless, former NBA player Channing Fly believes the LA Clippers have shots by not only defeating the nuggets, but also cleaning them in the first round.
Many people expect this series to be close enough to get it. After all, the Nuggets and Clippers shared the regular season series in two games.
Still, Fry believes the Clippers will wipe out the Nuggets in order to issue a Boston Celtics statement to support his point.
“The Clippers clean up the nuggets. Teams with the least amount of “what ifs” have all teams “what ifs”, “if they get cold for the game”, “Porzingis, whatever.”
“The Clippers have a ‘what if’, “Can Kawi stay healthy?”
Even at 33, he’s been fighting injuries throughout the Clippers’ stint, but Kauhi has a big impact on the team.
Proven in his two-way performance against the Golden State Warriors, it helped the Clippers win the No. 5 seed in the West.
The former Cleveland Cavaliers player believes the Clippers are doing a great job in other departments, with the exception of obvious concerns about Leonard’s fitness.
“It’s their only “if there is”, they’re cooking, they’re well-teached, they have great leadership, they have star powers, they’re on the block.
“They are defensive minds, they are not afraid of the moment, they are underdogs playing like this, and there’s no pressure.”
All things considered, it would be an exciting playoff series. Fans will also quickly look into whether Frye’s Clippers predictions will come true.
