"If there is a team that's just as good as the Los Angeles Lakers, if there is a team that's gonna to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in a seven-game series, it ain't gonna be the Clippers. It ain't gonna be the Nuggets. It's gonna be the Utah Jazz, mark my words." You can listen to Rose's full comments below:
