How Much Change Does Denver Need? May 05, 2022

Show notes

Michael Malone meets with the media for the final time in the 2021-22 season for his exit interview. Jokic needs to improve as a leader, but what does that mean? Do the Nuggets need rim protection more than perimeter defense? Calvin Booth also met with the media and the message was the same, roster changes are coming. But how much change does Denver need? Is it time to look at trading some (more) key pieces of the foundation? Plus, the Suns are a machine. How can Denver find a roster that can actually beat the Suns in four out of seven?

All this, plus Adam's knowledge of Colorado squirrels, on Locked on Nuggets.

Styles Make Fights, Innovation Leads Success May 04, 2022

Show notes

How many centers do the Nuggets need on roster next year? How important is it to have that versatility to counter what the Nuggets run into? The Altitude-Comcast dispute drags on, but there's a new player nationwide that might provide an option or at least a blueprint to allow Denver fans to watch the 2-time MVP. The Playoffs have taught us a lot and Adam has thoughts on the Mavericks, the Suns, the Celtics, and more.

Wisdom vs. Youth and Yellow-Rumped Warblers May 02, 2022

Show notes

Will the NBA be able to find Nikola Jokic for his MVP press conference? Joker brushes aside recognition of himself, but should he understand what it means to the fans? Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray spoke to the media, and it's clear that both have a long way to go to return to the court. It's probably for the best they didn't return this season, but what does the summer hold for both? The Nuggets need to reshape the supporting roster. Should they add youth and energy or experience? How do they balance both? Plus, Bird Talk and pre-teen drama, all this and more on Locked on Nuggets.
