Hi, I'm David Locke, host of Lockedon Jazz, your daily podcast on the Utah Jazz and the Lockdown Podcast Network.

And I'm Adam Mataz, host of the Lockdown Nuggets podcast.

And we get to do a crossover,

playoff preview for you in a pretty interesting matchup. A matchup that I'm guessing you were

no different than anybody else. You wanted to play the jazz. And I'm guessing the jazz didn't say it,

but they didn't want to play the Rockets for the third straight year. Well, this is what's funny about it is if you're Denver, you're a top

four seed, so you look down there and you say you don't want Portland, who I think is likely

to be the eight seed. You don't want Dallas, who's such a variable. So you want Utah or Oklahoma

city and Utah looks up at the top four seeds and says pretty much the same thing about Denver. So both teams got what they wanted.

I think both teams have a reason to be somewhat concerned and confident.

So I think that makes for a great series 1130 in the morning for the first three games.

Can't wait.

Which is really bad for podcasting, by the way.

I haven't quite figured out whether I'm doing a post game podcast on Monday live or whether I'm doing like it's not great for pocket.

And the other aspect I think that's really interesting about this is that the two teams that went to the bubble that lost their greatest advantage is Utah and Denver.

The two teams that historically actually have a home court advantage because of altitude have lost it.

So now they go ahead to head. So that's also interesting. All right, three matchups this year.

Denver wins all three of them.

All three of them pretty good games.

Two of them are probably two of Denver's best wins of the year.

The seven-man squad, unbelievable effort in Salt Lake City to win and the come from behind double overtime win.

I've got to figure that from a denver
