Full Court Press: Mike Olson Feb 22, 2019

Show notes

Mike and I spoke over the phone this week in the latest conversation for Full Court Press, just the second time we’ve communicated without our thumbs. We spoke about Mike’s love of writing, his late introduction to the game, and the challenges of trying to bridge the geographical gap as a Nuggets writer in Lakerland.

No one kinder, no one more creative on our staff. This was a fun one.

Nuggets Numbers: Brendan Vogt on the story of numbers and the remaining 25 games Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

It took long enough, but I finally had on Brendan Vogt, fellow Denver Stiffs writer and host of Full Court Press, to talk Nuggets Numbers.

We discussed a variety of topics, starting with Guess the Nugget on Jamal Murray. We talked about Murray's segmented season, his top end production, and what he can be for the Nuggets in a playoff series.

We then delved into Brendan's time as a media member, from his experiences credentialed at Pepsi Center to his discussions on his latest episode of Full Court Press.

Finally, we discussed the Nuggets final 25 games of the regular season, from what they need to do to hold onto the 2 seed to the closing lineup on the floor with the season on the line.

The Dig: Musical Chairs - Which Denver Nuggets should be starting by the playoffs? Feb 15, 2019

Show notes

Two of the Nuggets' reserves are putting up historical numbers. Isaiah Thomas looked good in his debut and has a chance to recapture his magic. Combine this with a fragile and inconsistent starting lineup and is it time to shake things up with the starters?

To be honest, we didn't even make it through half of our show material because the depth of conflict here is so deep. There's plenty to consider here, so jump on in.

4:38 - THE THEME: Musical Chairs. There's a couple of interesting lineups for the Nuggets that are making us ask some questions.

8:50 - BUY OR SELL:

Nuggets being the second best team in the West

The Nuggets being the most disrespected #2 of all time

A 3-guard lineup

Barton as the starting SF

35:30 - A NUGGETS HAIKU

35:55 - PREDICTIONS:

Where will the Nuggets finish in the West?

What will the Nuggets playoff starting 5 be?

Will they win a first-round series

54:30 - BAD TAKE/GOOD TAKE:

Colin Cowherd ranks Lakers' roster talent ahead of Nuggets'
