Locked On Nuggets - Daily Podcast On The Denver Nuggets

Latest Episodes:

Bones and Braun Steal The Show Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

No pressure, no stress, a fun game for a home crowd and a light night of work for the starters. The Nuggets got an ideal win Friday vs. the tired Jazz, as the bench took a starter lead to 20-plus and never looked back. A look at why these games matter, why the starters' push in the first overshadowed their bad two other stints, and why wins like these matter. Bones Hyland shoots from deep again and again, and Christian Braun is the rookie every team dreams of for a playoff contender. A look at the Lakers game and why Jokic's numbers won't be MVP-level this season.

Nikola Jokic dominates Anthony Davis as Nuggets beat Lakers Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Nikola Jokic smashes the Lakers in the second half and the Nuggets cruise to a victory. Adam and Matt can't believe how bad the Lakers are, but the Nuggets also showed a lot of good things. Christian Braun makes things happen. The bench plays a little bit better when they're not matched vs. LeBron. KCP and MPJ's injuries aren't serious. A whole segment on Bruce Brown who Matt cannot rave enough about. Should he start? How do you play him with the starters enough? Plus, the defense might be as bad as we think... but maybe not quite as bad.

Can The Denver Nuggets Get A Stop? Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

The Denver Nuggets get blitzed by the Portland Trail Blazers in a road loss to a division opponent, and give up 135 points in the loss. What's the key problem with the defense? Is it execution? Scheme? Personnel? Nikola Jokic shoots four times. Have we seen the return of Emotional Funk Jokic? A reminder that problems are real if they continue but overall assertions this early are dangerous.

Nuggets get on track with two big wins Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

*Adam's connection improves in segments 2 and 3.*

Denver not only gets its first win of the season, but gets it in Golden State over the champs. Denver puts together a cohesive performance and the new additions look great so far. Christian Braun earns his minutes and looks like a guy with a long career ahead of him. MPJ has put in the work and his comments reflect a change in approach as well. Jamal returns, the crowd goes wild, KCP makes plays, Bruce Brown is a connector, and Denver looks like the team we thought they might be. What could go wrong? (KNOCK ON WOOD.)

Short, Long, and Not Problems, Plus Previewing the Warriors Game Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Will the Nuggets trade for LeBron?

OK, not really, but we do talk about short-term, long-term, and maybe not problems at all from Game 1, including the bench, three-point shooting, pick and roll offense, overall drop defense, and more. We preview the Warriors game with an eye towards whether Jamal Murray plays or not, and look around the NBA for first impressions.

Game 1: Outplayed In Utah Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

The most anticipated Nuggets season in history predictably started with a resounding thud as the Nuggets get outhustled, out-shot, and out-executed in Utah. The bench made the gap unrecoverable, but the starters played their part in the struggles. Matt does not believe two specific players can be on the court together. Adam has concerns about Jokic's defense. Bones gets bullied, Jamal Murray is back but not back back, and Denver faces questions after Game 1. All this and more on Locked on Nuggets.

We get back on the horse and wrap up preseason with what we expected and what surprised us.
