After booting out the Utah Jazz in a tense Game 7, Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets couldn't believe that they'll be playing the powerhouse Los Angeles Clippers in two days.

Jamal Murray joined Scott Van Pelt in a post-game presser where he learned that the Western Conference Semifinals will start on Thursday. This gives them just two days to rest up and prepare for Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

As seen in the clip, Murray struggled to gather his thoughts to answer Van Pelt's question after learning that they'll play the Clippers in two days.

The Clippers have been resting up since eliminating the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Though Luka Doncic was a handful, the veteran Clippers squad proved too powerful the seventh-seeded team. Murray knows how strong the Clippers are this year. Many believe that they will be the ones to represent the West in the NBA Finals. As such, he has no choice but to muster up his strength and prepare for battle.
