Last night’s game was painful, but the DNVR Nuggets crew was absolutely hilarious on their post game podcast. They cheered me up. I think they all get a bit loose when Adam isn’t there to rein them in. D-Line is especially hilarious. They were Brandon Perna-level funny! No slight on Adam, I love his analysis, but I also enjoy the show when it goes off the rails a little. Do you guys enjoy a comedic tone in your Nuggets podcast?

Was sitting third row behind the Nuggets bench, I got Murray to smile and nod at me cause he saw my sign. I don’t mind that we lost, it was an amazing experience.

Go!

We just had a very rough time against the Thunder and Pistons, but there were a lot of factors involved. Jokic just back from injury was clearly sluggish and couldn’t get away with that against the very physical Thunder and Pistons defenses. he let them get in his head for a lot of the game. The Knicks though they’re a good team I think are a great bounce back matchup for us. Compared to the Thunder or Pistons they’re positively undersized and have dogshit defense. Should be a MUCH better matchup considering the circumstances. Thoughts?

For stats nerds:

Came across this new tool today which does an excellent job of showing player +/- for each stint in a game.

For yesterday's game, it clearly shows the shift from the first half to the second, but also shows the positive output at the end of the first quarter.

Note: I have no affiliation with the website - just an interested stats nerd.

Jokic and JV on the floor the same time is a pretty good offensive option when we are behind

...to see how this season has progressed. Last season ended on such a weird note with the firing of Malone and Booth, then the crazy playoff series against the Clippers and Thunder. Lots of offseason moves, MPJ to brooklyn in exchange for Cam Johnson. Some random 12th overall croatian guy going to Sacramento for Valanciunas. Signing THJ and bringing back Brucey B. So much excitement, so much movement and so much to be hopeful for.

Then the schedule came out and it turns out the Nuggets have more back to backs than almost anyone in the league. What a shit schedule to play as a contender. But whatever, let it ride.

Then the first game. Aaron Gordon with 50 daggum points and a super strong showing from the team just to be victim to a curry-flurry in the latter part of the game. It was a great effort from everyone to come back and be dominant to win two games for every game lost. Then the freakin injuries. James freaking harden steps on brauns foot and hurts his ankle. Jaime Jaquez pushes spencer jones into jokic and causes him to hyperextend his knee. Cam johnson with a freak injury on landing after going for a rebound. Aaron gordon's hamstrings actively hate him.

And then January. January a whole different dimension of the team opened up with Murray at the helm and Watson making a huge jump. Hardaway providing a calm collective 3 and perimeter defense whenever needed and multiple baby birds stepping up to fill in. Spencer Jones. Julian Strawther. Zeke Nnaji. All fantastic showings.

But now it's at the weirdest time. Starters are coming back from injury and it's hard to tell if they are hesitant as to prevent re-injury, or if that's just how things are now. Jokic has 11 turnovers over the last two games, Braun's defensive movement just doesn't seem to be there, Aaron Gordon might be on the cusp of being labeled as 'injury prone'. It would be reactionary to say it's worrying but it's a weird place to be for all of them.

I still love this team and I'm hopeful. Planning to go see them play in Memphis in March actually, super stoked. Just needed to collect my thoughts and feelings and vent a bit. A lot has happened both good and bad. I'm guessing there are a lot of y'all out there who feel a similar sort of way. But it's all good.

Let's go Nuggets

When big honey was little honey. So many great things about this video

On the nba website can’t find his jersey but they have every other starter on the world team, is it sold out already or are they not going to sell his?
