Latest Episodes:

Embiid Ducks Jokic | Nuggets Play-In Possibilities Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

The Nuggets screw around with a big lead but hold on for a win vs. the Sixers without Joel Embiid and James Harden. We react to Embiid's decision not to play in the game, the MVP race, the optics, the narrative, and how it will play out. Then, we talk about the win over the Sixers, how the team collapsed, if it means anything, and why Jamal Murray is not made to be a heliocentric offense. Finally, a look at the Western Conference playoff picture and why it could get very weird, plus the question of how much Denver should look to manipulate the standings.

Who Do You Trust? Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Adam Mares returns and he and Matt Moore talk about the two-game set vs. the Knicks and Nets, MPJ's continued progression into a stable star, and if the Nuggets will take the Wizards seriously. Then they ask a key question: who do you trust more in the playoffs, Jamal Murray or Michael Porter Jr.? KCP or Aaron Gordon? Finally, we'll almost definitely see lineups that haven't played together before in the playoffs. How important is it to give guys time together if they need to execute in a postseason game?
