In this episode I share my notes on Denver's impressive win over the San Antonio Spurs in game 5.

Locked on Denver Nuggets - 4.22 - After a much-needed lineup change, the Denver Nuggets appear to be back! Apr 22, 2019

Show notes

In this upbeat episode, I share my notes on Denver's potentially season-altering win over the San Antonio Spurs in game 4. Torrey Craig shined like a crazy diamond in his playoff debut as a starter, Jamal Murray played an ideal bounce back game, and Nikola Jokic looked like the most dominant version of himself. I also discuss Michael Malone's decision to wait until game 4 to make a lineup change, Will Barton's postgame comments, and why Gary Harris had one of the most impressive 8-point games possible. At the end, I hand out grades for every key contributor on the roster.

Locked on Denver Nuggets - 4.19 - Derrick White and the Spurs are exposing Murray's 2 biggest weaknesses Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I share my notes on game three of the first round series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Denver Nuggets. At the center of the episode was the absolute dominate performance by Derick White, who seemed intent to not just out-duel Jamal Murray, but to humiliate him in the process. I talk about Murray's two biggest weaknesses - inability to contain dribble penetration and a slow first step on offense - and how White and the Spurs have built an entire game plan around it. I also talk about the continued slump of Will Barton, the impressive play of Malik Beasley, and why there is reason to believe that the Nuggets still have adjustments that they can make to shift this series back in their favor.

The gain was a bit high on this one. Still listenable but the audio quality is a bit below the norm. Apologies! Recording on the road is always tough.

Locked on Denver Nuggets - 4.17 - Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets are back from the dead Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I share my notes on Denver's comeback win against the San Antonio Spurs. Jamal Murray was horrible...until suddenly he was the best player in the world. Nikola Jokic continued to make plays while still trying to figure out how to attack Jakob Poeltl. Lastly, I close today's show by reminding fans what Will Barton has meant to this Denver Nuggets team and why booing him in his darkest hour, tears apart a piece of our soul as Nuggets fans in a way that damages this special night.

Locked on Denver Nuggets - 4.14 - Notes from Nuggets-Spurs Game 1 Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I share my notes on game one of the Nuggets-Spurs series. San Antonio’s game plan was centered around forcing the ball out of the hands of Nikola Jokic. I share my thoughts on how Jokic handled that plan, whether or not he should’ve been more aggressive looking for his shot, and what both he and the Nuggets as a whole can do to combat that game plan.
