Locked on Denver Nuggets - 5.17 - What would it mean if Tim Connelly left the Denver Nuggets? May 17, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I talk about the news that the Washington Wizards have been granted permission to interview Tim Connelly. Connelly is widely credited as the architect of this Denver Nuggets team and is responsible for drafting Nikola Jokic, Gary Harris, and the rest of the core of this team. How would losing him affect the Nuggets future and what would the perception be among Denver Nuggets fans if he left at least in part because he was offered more money elsewhere?

I play an important audio clip from Paul Millsap about "his story" and what he wants for the final stretch of his career.

Find out what that is!

Locked on Denver Nuggets - 5.10 - The Blazers adjusted their rotation in game 6, can Denver counter in game 7? May 10, 2019

Show notes

In this episode I share my notes on Denver's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Aminu and Harkless played fewer minutes while Rodney Hood went scorched Earth on Denver's wings. The 2nd unit fumbled a lead (again) thanks to an off night from Paul Millsap. And the Nuggets' offensive rhythm fell off in the 2nd half.

She also shares he quest to find Robota, the Witch who the Denver Nuggets hired to place a hex on the Indiana Pacers during the 1975 ABA Finals.

In the final segment, we ask what the Nuggets need to do to ever win an NBA championship and pull a tarot card to discover what answers the deck might have in store. You don't have to believe in the magic of tarot to enjoy the segment. As Ariana explains, it's all about fun and you can take it as seriously as woks best for you to enjoy it. But it's a fun bit and she does a great job sharing a part of her personality throughout the whole thing.
