Well it’s air guns but in the in the era of johnar Are We being sorry you’re doing the John Moran we shouldn’t do that we should just yeah you can’t do that it’s kind of sexy it is a little sexy nuggets get the win tonight 102 95 over the Charlotte Hornets it wasn’t

Pretty it wasn’t super relaxing it wasn’t the most beautiful game of basketball ever played but as a wise man once said I think the good teams win even when they play Bad and the bad teams they always find a way to lose games even when they’re up that wise man

Was Nicole yic he said that once in January 2023 said winning is fun and losing sucks that was another great quote from him that uh is also 100% the truth he has never lied in his life um we’re here to break it all down for you in this Winter’s Lounge again nuggets

Get the win 10295 I’m Harrison win that’s dine that’s right guys uh I’m on top of the world what a game what a game what a just a beautiful expression of basketball I’ve never been more inspired as a person or as a basketball fan let’s go also joined by Superstar Dev when you

Go to where basketball is originated not even 24 hours ago you just have a new sense of like just real basketball and what it truly means that’s first off that was in Canada huh yeah there’s actually some controversy about you know where basketball was originated was it in the

States was it in Canada yeah that’s wrong Dev was just that Allen field house yesterday somehow he’s back here today I dude I did the math on that it does not I have so many questions no answers that I I did not get any answers tonight but he’s here happy holidays people happy

Holidays nuggets get the win like I said 10295 let’s get into a little fast recap here oh my god let’s focus on that third quarter I’ve got some notes on that third quarter um the Nuggets open this one up and my first note tonight is is Mike Malone not messing around uh kcp

Opens the first quarter guarding ish Smith yeah former nugget ish Smith gets the start for Charlotte tonight The Hornet’s best player right now Terry Rosier was a scratch a late scratch before this one and Malone put the Nugget’s best defensive player on ish Smith to open this game my second note

Nugget starters extremely sluggish yeah down 14 to4 early Nick Richards The Hornet starting Center in this one looked like David Robinson out there just blocking everything in sight and the Nugget starters just were very sluggish not really playing much defense not really looking like they had much

Desire to play tonight then a 16 to4 nuggets run Michael Porter Jr hit two early threes then caught an alleyoop it was also a Zeke naagi KN more notes on him later in that he played that’s about the extent of the notes uh Reggie Jackson missing Julian strawther making

Threes two early threes for strawther Michael Mullen was calling plays for him and he was delivering nuggets down 27 to 25 though after the first quarter into the second quarter Christian Brown really attacking a lot this game as he’s been doing all season and drawing a couple of those close to

Charges but they’re called blocks yo uh but you know he was producing he was aggressive Michael Porter Jr stayed hot hit a three then it was an 80 Hornets run late in the corner just stupid plays and turnovers by the nuggets and the Hornets capitalizing in transition

Nuggets still not playing any defense uh the Hornets were up 60 to 54 at the end of the second quarter man they’re on they’re on Pace for a monster night you would have thought I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the Nuggets halftime locker room because something

Shifted for them Denver opened the half on a 25 to1 one run 25 to one I actually was shocked just beside myself when they did score that one point this was one of the more unbelievable third quarters we’ve ever seen everything was clicking for Denver like Michael Porter Jr was

Getting the ball after a good first half shocking development the Nuggets starters kicked it into gear uh Charlotte did not score a basket dline they did not score a basket until there was under 1 minute left in the third quarter at the 58 second Mark they recorded their first field goal they had

Three uh free throws yeah to that point they had zero field goals it was a sight to behold in total they scored two baskets in the third quarter nuggets out scored them 30-9 Jesus in the period Jamal Murray had 11 in the quarter uh fourth quarter a little uh little a little shaky

Hornets got a little hot nuggets bench was not good Michael Porto Junior only came back into this game when there were 4 minutes left somehow while the Hornets were mounting this comeback uh but in the end the good team won the bad team lost the Nuggets Edge the Hornets 102 95

3 and0 on the road trip nice little winning streak coming up heading into Christmas Day successful road trip all in all what’s your big takeway yeah this is their fourth win in a row should have been their eighth win in a row if not for that ridiculous ending to the

Thunder game uh the nuggets are they are clicking I mean that game was not a great game but that was a that was the second night of a back toback there no one Nugget had a great night probably Michael Porter Jr had the best night of

The Nuggets um he L them in scoring 22 points yeah but he didn’t he didn’t have a a perfect night by any stretch but they got it done man they figured it out like it was looking like it was is going to be the full Trap game like the

Hornets had you know they haven’t played in 3 days I think and the Nuggets played last night and that it looked like it early on the the Hornets had life they were blocking every goddamn shot and um but in the end you know the the better team figured it out that’s what happens

Like there’s a lot of games in this in this season and they’re not all pretty but as long as you get a w it’s all you can ask for there are a lot of games like this in the season there just are there are dude yeah like there are five

Games like this at least in the season where you just go and you’re like well they got the win that’s why we need to spice it up with a mid-season tournament that’s a great idea I’m going to talk to Adam Silver about that what’s your big takeaway Dev big takeaway is uh there

Are going to be some ugly wins and thank God for the thank the basketball gods for that third quarter tonight like that’s how you really like flip a switch and turn it on um put it all together and if they could get addicted to that brand of basketball that’s when they’re

At their best that’s when you look like the best team like you’re going to go and win a championship um again getting it all going that was not only the starters but the bench came in and took care of business the starters came you

Know um off of a a very bad first half and got it together but when they’re on that style of basketball there’s nobody that can beat them so they got to get more of that type of play if they if they really want to do this again man

And they I mean that’s they they have like there has been a a switch that has been flipped since I don’t know December 15th if I had to choose a random date on randomly pick picking a date in the calendar when it might have shifted this

Is the this is what the Nuggets do every year this is what they do every year but you know this is the first year that the reigning Champions and it’s cool to they clearly have the same level of confidence that we do that they’re just it’s going to work out in their favor

Yeah yeah Jamal Murray had an interesting quote recently after one of the Nuggets latest wins where he said like and it was really the first time I’ve heard a player acknowledge that the feeling heading into every game and during every game is different this year and he said look we’re the hunted and

Everybody is coming for us now and it feels different yeah like it feels different during a game after you’re coming off a championship and everybody gets up to play you yep there’s just a different tone of every game and he was like really the first guy I can remember

That’s acknowledged that this season um but you felt that watching these games too and um yeah like the Nuggets just took care of business tonight they’re 21- 10 on the season they’re above 500 on the road not every team can say that they’re 11 and2 at home they’re third in

The west right now I predict you know in a month or so they they’ll be first in the west I made that very prediction just last night in in in one month they will retake the the lead yeah um my main take away from tonight is along those

Same lines nuggets look they went three and0 on this road trip they didn’t play any amazing teams they played the Raptors the Nets and the Hornets but look man anytime you go 3 and0 on a road trip that’s an amazing result on the east coast East Coast Road Trip you some

Of these cities tough to get up for backto back it’s an awesome result going 3 and 0 on a road trip is great you take that every single time no matter how ugly it is so that’s my positive takeaway my negative takeaway uh-oh here it comes I’m watching Reggie Jackson

Closely right now oh no is he on uh he on bust watch he’s on Harry watch he’s not on bust watch Reggie Jackson’s been incredible this season he’s been so incredible that I think we know it might be a little unrealist istic to expect him to play as well as he did through

The Nuggets first 30 games for the rest of the season you know he had a rough game tonight one of n shooting he’s had a couple of these you know 413 shooting against Brooklyn the other night three of 10 against Oklahoma City two of eight against Houston a couple weeks ago he’s

Starting to filter in some of the bad shooting games more and more and I think it’s expected I’m not panicking about it but it does make me worry for the second unit a little bit if Reggie Jackson isn’t playing amazing basketball what does that mean for the second unit what does

That mean for the bench if they don’t have Reggie Jackson leading them being the focal point on offense being able to apply pressure at The Rim just being somebody who the defense actually has to game plan for how does that affect the bench and I just think the Nugget should be

Ready for him regressing a little bit to the mean yeah really the big thing about it is just that he’s missing shots right now he’s missing the same shots he made Y which was they were also some really tough shots so you just need a few of

Them to fall but everyone looks good when they’re knocking down shots but how this team is playing right now they look for him to be the offense they look for him to be able to want that gets him going because he is the playmaker for that group but also the shot Creator and

Maker um for the team um the good thing is that they’re not missing that right now like because they’re so focused on the defensive end they can lock in on that point that when his shot starts to come back he’s going to look like himself he went one of nine tonight if

He makes you know four more of those shots we’re going to say this is a good Reggie night um so I do think that he’s getting back to the means but also it’s just that the fall the shot is not falling and that happens for everybody Jamal goes through these lows yic goes

Through these he he’s not you know opposite of that he he’s going to go through those as well in this just his time but I still like that he’s still staying aggressive that he’s still you know grabbing the rebounds still running the offense and things like that you

Just want some shots to fall yeah I would I would guess that this is what what year in the league is this for him like like 13 14 I bet I mean I bet the man’s tired like uh three you know a long road trip I’m sure he feels in his

Legs a little bit like he’s not he’s not a young guy you know you can’t expect for him to be as Dynamic and Powerful every single night and it’s you know it’s like fortuitous for him that he’s found himself in a position where he is like the most important player on the

Bench but like that’s not a great situation that like a 13 14e vet is the guy that we’re counting on to stir the drink that is the bench um especially on the offensive side um so I don’t know I mean the bench is going to be a work in progress It’s

Going to be a topic of conversation we have the entire season yesterday you know or and leading coming into this game we couldn’t stop talking about pwt like his offensive growth and like what he’s able to do he scores two points tonight like we miss snaap that dude yeah it’s just

Like what I mean what are you going to do man this is just what it is like your bench is your bench cuz it’s like not your best player so that sometimes they’re bad that’s just that’s how it goes in the NBA yeah but we got the dub

So what what going to do got the dub Reggie Jackson he’s been incredible this season he’s been my favorite story about this team but but he’s been playing a little bit like above what is realistic to expect of him so I still think he’ll probably be fine the rest of the season

It’s just something I’m monitoring something I’m monitoring uh let’s hit a break a lot more to get to from this game uh then in segment three we’re going to play a game of naughty or nice the old classic who’s been naughty who’s been nice uh can I just say dev’s been

Saying my laugh reminds bang four of a heavy set Mongolian man’s laugh that’s shout out bro that’s very specific and his name is bang for listen it’s the holiday season it’s time for spreading cheer uh somebody who spread some cheer tonight was Michael Porter Jr Team High 22 points he scored more

Than Nicole yic tonight scored more than Jamal Murray eight of those came in the first quarter he was hot in the first quarter tonight and I sent out a tweet after that first quarter it says Michael Porter Jr scored eight points in the first how many does he finish with and

Everybody was in on the joke you know the joke of course is that Michael Porter never gets the ball after he has a hot start to a game he got the ball I think a fair amount over the second third and fourth quarters I was surprised with how much he got the ball

Cuz it usually doesn’t happen that way and he winds up 8 of 14 from the floor five of eight from three definitely could have gotten more shots but I think it was a small step in the right direction again like I mentioned in the fast recap Michael Malone did not go

Back to him until there were like four minutes left in the fourth quarter I felt like that actually hurt the Nuggets when the Hornets were making the comeback and Denver just didn’t have his shooting threat on the floor but I’ll take it as a small victory that the Nuggets looked for him specifically

Coming out of halftime after he had that good first half I’ll take that as a small win tonight I don’t know if this is a Michael Porter Jr thing or if it’s a nugget thing but he’s the one guy that I feel like he might he might not ever

Have a 50 point game it’s just impossible it’s impossible it doesn’t matter if he’s scorching hot yeah either he’s going to make so many shots and they stop giving it to him or he’s just going to stop making shots there’s a certain amount of touches you need for a

50-point game dude it’s an Unwritten Ru rule like when Kyrie was so mad that Jamal almost scored 50 cuz the game was over like if Michael Porter Jr scores 50 under any circumstances it breaks an Unwritten rule they would it’ rocket the ball into the crowd this was a game like

I was kind of frustrated with both him and the team because I’m like he’s so hot give him the ball every single time and just let him lead you to victory especially against a team like the Hornets this was never in Jeopardy they were not playing well but it was never

In Jeopardy that you’re like hey there’s a guy that’s scorching hot let him shoot it every single time all of the you know really good teams they have a guy that can do that I feel like if Jamal gets hot he gets the ball every time well he

Has the ball yeah he has the ball if yic gets H he has the ball every time I mean mbj I feel like they did feed him in this game and he just stopped making shots they’re like okay we’re not going to let him keep missing shots and I was

Like but but he was hot early he was hot early so like he’s one of those guys that he’s going to get hot and then he’s not going to get hot and then he’s going to get hot and he’s not so maybe there’s just not a 50 ball in the future but

This was a good game for him to go five of eight from the three-point line to let the ball you know F uh you know fill your hands and you to shoot the piss out of it you love that um so I I love when Michael Porter Jr gets hot and this was

A yeah Mike you know type of game yeah especially cuz Jamal didn’t quite have it going joic y yic had a weird game like it’s such a it’s such such an early season yic game yeah this was a this was a BJ yic game before y Miss oh yeah yeah

Yeah yeah I thought you just meant it sucked well yeah dude uh it was just a weird game it was a weird game by a lot of people but that’s like the the beauty of the construction of the Denver Nuggets is that like there are guys that are

Hungry and wanting and waiting for their shot every night like there’s not a night where we ever that I can remember us like really making sure that kyp gets going there’s Julian St I mean it’s just like Mike is always waiting in the wings in order and able to get hot and they’ll

Feed him the ball but they won’t force him the ball yeah um but it’s okay man like they won the game you know what I mean like they that’s just the the the construction of the the Nuggets is now so rock solid in everybody’s understanding it’s like you’ve got the

Two-man game and then if somebody else is kind of going like you can allow them to to cook a little bit but they’re they’re never going to be the centerpiece right and you know if if you’re upset by that like you’re probably still going to get a championship ring yeah not a bad

Consolation prize for being upset about it yeah so whatever um what you guys think of Nicole y just game tonight 18 points 10 rebounds nine assists s board double he was sitting on nine assists for most of the fourth quarter 8 of 14 shooting 0 of2 from three he

Fouled out in this game actually you rarely see Nicole yic foul out I know I always applaud him cuz he’s actually very good at playing defense without fouling out and especially in big games and playoff games I think a lot of yoki’s strategy on defense is just get

To the second half get to the fourth quarter not in foul trouble so I can actually like play really effective defense there uh but he did foul out tonight what did you guys just think of this game uh so hard that’s actually a good response that’s correct posture the way

He approached that question exactly how the Nuggets approach this year really it’s are because again it’s the it’s the second night of a back toight 1810 and N we used to be stoked about these type of performances like this was like special we used to dream of days like this we used to

But now we have come accustomed to him being so good and also just how the league is going like other guys would have probably tried to put up 45 points on the Hornets Richards as the center which other guy which other Centers do you are you referring to Rudy

Goar Jo lmb Jo lmb like really that he would have tried to go nuclear against this type of think he did and stats is the name of the game so you like you hate to see that it was only a 1810 n game but that’s a damn near triple devil

Like oh it’s a beautiful if anybody else on the team turned that in we would be they would be on the thumbnail they’ be the like if Michael Porter Jr did that we’d be like get M The Rock 18 if Michael Porter Jr had 18 10 and N we’ve

Had a we had a whole segment about him leveling up as a passer yeah yeah but but there also it be a story line for three weeks Point Mike question mark but also that’s the difference between like a embiid and yic yeah embiid has to do those against these type of teams they

They rely on them so much they need them so much this was a game that yic was just kind of another not another guy but just you know he wasn’t the focal point of the offense he was he tied for second most shots on the team you know in this

Game other guys got it going and he’s okay with with that like he he’s he’s fine with other people shining um in getting that although honestly he could go for 35 this could have been a 35 triple double for him yeah and we would have been like oh what another

Incredible game but he’s just like hey it’s the second night of a double a trip I mean a back to back things are just fine I’m playing a lot of games I’m going to beat chill and then I’m going to go home I’m going to hit the showers

A little bit early too yeah um so I think this is a good game but it’s just not the yage games that we’re accustomed to but maybe this is what we need to start seeing maybe they’re just not going to need them as much right now

Yeah I I think like this is part of what can anger some nuggets fans about Nicole yic because when Joel embiid goes up against a Charlotte Hornets he’s going to get 40 or 50 and he’s trying for 40 or 50 when Nicole yic goes up against the Charlotte Hornets he’s

Doing what he needs to do to win the game yeah yeah anger is the wrong word frustrated frustrated yeah it’s probably the better word but um and and I think when you see those two things happen you’ve got to know that Nicole yic has has the long game in mind always yes

He’s not trying to tire himself out against the Charlotte Hornets on a backto back in December on the road and you know he like Dev said has other things that are his Focus that night other than just his personal individual scoring know he wants to get Jamal and

Michael Porter Jr going he wants to get Aaron Gordon some easy buckets their approaches Nicole yic and Joel embiid and their mindsets coming into games like this couldn’t be more different it’s so true but I think how joic approaches it is is part of the beauty about him yeah it’s exactly right it’s

Just uh and I think probably the way that that third quarter went the ineptitude that the uh Hornets put on display not being able to score under any circumstances for 9/10 of a quarter like yic was like okay I don’t have to do it I can just like I don’t have to do

It and he turned it on that third quarter and look what happened enough yeah like he you know like if you like if you don’t if you don’t get what yic is about yet like you never will he just he’s a winner he’s a champion he is

Intelligent in every way that he goes about it he’s Savvy he’s slick he’s like all things and you know Joel embiid to just to bring that up because you brought it up like a player like Joel embiid is like looking to make his Mark still and joic is is minted like he

Doesn’t need to prove himself anymore um he doesn’t need to prove that he’s the MVP and like make sure that Richard Jefferson gets it and that they’re talking about it and JJ reck has clips about whether or not he’s the most dominant best player in the world like

Joel Em still like desperately needs that because his actual resume is like still very much in question and he gets clowned all the time for it so he’s like he’s just like I’m going to score as much as I can every single night that’s it um that’s what people want to see so

I’m going to give it to him yic is just like I’m going to win another championship right and that’s exactly right by now Nicole yic has mastered how to Pace himself and conduct himself and run a team during the regular season he’s mastered that yep after last year

He knows exactly how he needs to play during each part of a regular season so he’s in best position to deliver the Nuggets another championship and that does not include trying to get 50 points against the Hornets in December he knows part of the season is about getting

Himself going he knows another big part of the season is about getting Jamal Murray Michael Porter Jr going he knows another part is about getting or just getting through a game getting through a game building the bench’s confidence up you know having letting others have their moment all those pieces are you

Know so crucial to building you know in the right direction through a regular season and he’s he’s mastered that by now so you got to have your full trust in him that he’s approaching these games the right way and I think he is if you don’t have trust in nikic like just

Don’t just don’t I mean like what we what are you doing yeah don’t watch I mean you’re going to be disappointed all the time yeah Jamal Murray 20 points for him tonight he had a big third quarter when the Nuggets had that ridiculous run

That 25 to1 run I believe he had 11 in the third and he was a big part of that run I think the Nuggets got like 17 consecutive stops well like stops is a Str also like the Hornets had 25 consecutive or 17 consecutive misses yeah that might be a

Better way to say it um Jamal’s KN though I mean he’s coming off maybe his best game of the season in Brooklyn when he had 32 and9 he has 20 points 12 rebounds tonight and five assists just one turnover the theme of the Nuggets not turning the ball over still going

Strong a big part of that is Jamal Murray who taking get great care of the ball this season his turnovers are down under two per game what do you guys think of Jamal’s night I think that this was I think it was a pretty good game from him honestly um there’s not many

Knights that Jamal is leading the the nuggets and rebounds I don’t even know if that ever happens that’s a little crazy and it’s not that joic wasn’t out there rebounding like Jamal is actually working hard and this is the second night of a backto back um he’s also very

Aggressive right now like I really feel like he wented to try hard most in this game he came out a little bit laxad days a CO they did not think that the Hornets was going to give him a challenge and then they got challenged they went down

And it was like Jamal was like Hey give it to me I’m going to get a St I’m going to be the one that scores um especially when he started to see other guys weren’t being as aggressive he’s like okay I’m going to take it there um yeah

He might have you know overshot sometimes but that’s what you have to take with Jamal he’s going to over dribble at times he’s going to overshoot at times because he’s trying to make things happen it’s not at the same way ways that it used to be but you know I

Think that it’s great that he’s trying to make things happen and other guys are feeding off of that cuz they know because this has been their point guard for so many years they understand how Jamal’s going to come you don’t see the frustration ey Rose you don’t see

Anybody you know upset if they get missed they kind of understand who Jamal is so he has a good gauge on the team and right now I think he’s just under control yeah yeah it was like it was like a decent Jamal game good in the third quarter okay

He kind of had a yic type of game he to they both did like this is this is this is like second like the most second night of a back toback ass game I’ve ever seen like EXA they were sluggish they had just enough they turned it on

Just enough in the third quarter to Jet out ahead and then they were just like went back and coasted out and just like held on for dear life uh Jamal was decent um you know you gr him on a curve on a night like tonight both he and joic

Um so from that standpoint it was probably like a good Jamal like game you know considering that he’s still assuredly not fully in shape not fully in like a killer shape at least um I’m sure that his legs were a little tired whatever but he battled through and he

You know he missed shots but everybody missed shots so that’s good man Jamal Jamal’s like really he’s really rounding in a form like it’s it’s coming back he’s not forcing it too much he’s not like wildly inefficient on any night um so it’s like it’s you can see it man you

Can see it the streak is the we’re we’re in the middle of the streak but you don’t realize how big this thing’s going to be you can feel a big game coming from Jamal I feel like yeah like I can kind of sense a a signature Jamal game

Coming maybe it comes on Christmas in two days um but the best part about Jamal’s night was probably that he played 33 minutes Y and this is after he played 34 minutes last night against the Nets he’s played 30 plus minutes in three straight games he’s definitely off

The minute restriction now he’s fully healthy this is the real start of Jamal Murray season it feels like Y past the injuries hamstring ankle past all that it feels like he’s now like on the runway speeding up about ready to take off and um Jamal jamonica I appreciate it but Hanukkah is

Over man well that’s the point it’s it’s after it’s we’re BJ again or AJ again after jamonica yeah um Aaron Gordon 14 points for him tonight I don’t have a lot of notes about AG’s Knight he did go four or five from the line which is another nice development which is

Incredible he’s been hitting his free throws lately he went uh 8 and N from the line the other night against Brooklyn and um Off the Bench like kcp had four blocks tonight two steals whoae this is a weird he has to get the DP a bro we didn’t even mention a yet we

Did not mention it’s a second M of the Season freaking M bro first M since like one of the first games of the year against OKC this was I don’t think I’ve ever seen more blocks in a single game I know the Nuggets got blocked like 400

Times in the first half the Nuggets actually finished with more blocks than the hornet 1 to 11 this was like your DMs huh block block no just empty um AG was he was really good in the first half like he was really active and um keeping Denver in it like even when things

Started to like looked down he was aggressive I don’t feel like he did much at all in the in the second half offensively but he was engaged defensively and people did not get things going that third quarter was great for everybody of course but he made sure that his guy was not getting

Anything who was on Aaron Gordon was that Jamal like did they make the switch sorry not Gordon uh Jamal I think was at times Jamal I think Jamal like started the game on Jordon haward they put kcp had nothing in the second half miles Bridges did not get going in the second whoever

Was like those defensive matchups I’m guessing AG had to be part of that yeah he was that that Chang some things like so they had to be super engaged in the second half for them to not score at all and again this is a because of that big

Third quarter and that has to go with the starters Ag and and kcp was they were awesome off uh defensively yeah nuggets are uh ninth in defense top 10 top 10 they still probably got to be like top one or two I think for kcp to get

First Team all defense yeah I feel like that campaign has has lost a little steam yeah we got to bring it back though four blocks two steals a wanyama you mean you got hurt by for no reason the kcp yeah down the stretch it that’s when it would showed the biggest

Was in the moments that counted the most which is like what you want out of a actual like def Defensive Player of the Year kind of uh player like when it was actually like confusingly close down the line kcp had like three or four like big defensive moments yeah um which is

Amazing so yeah bring it back # DP oh yeah y did we ever figure out kcp do we got to get kcp on first team got to get pwat on second team we to Workshop so many hashtags I know all rookie strawther all rookie straw yeah young

Straw all right what we work it’s Christmas we’re not working work speaking of Julian STW he was one of two nuggets and double figures Off the Bench tonight 10 points uh he hit two threes Christian Brown had 11 points and seven rebounds and two blocks I mean all in

All this was a nice game from Christian Brown he kind of picked up the bench scoring when you know Reggie didn’t have it tonight he went one to nine Patt didn’t really have much offense tonight but he did get a block okay we did hit

That bet we got that one bet yeah yeah he did not get his three-pointer 21 23 25 bench points not bad not bad yeah you need your your bench to step up on on second night of back to back for sure they really the and bad thing about

Denver is you never know who’s going to step up they have so many guys that can step up you do want it to be consistent like that you just know who it’s going to be but they have other guys that can step up and Christian Brown was the guy

In this one um downhill the entire time um when everybody else had dead legs he didn’t he you know he made sure that his his impact was felt on that end of the floor but also he got it going on both ends and you could just tell that he was

Fresh and ready to like carry them and that’s what you’re supposed to do as a bench guy bring energy to the team yeah and a young player bring that energy make sure that everyone else uh follows you on nights that they don’t have it so you got to take your hat to Christian

Brown in this one we’ve been having a lot of discussions uh about if Peyton Watson has been playing better than him this was a game that Christian Brown clearly won I know dude we were saying Christian Brown definitely was like did I lose Harrison like I got to I got to

Have a long talk with the man in the mirror like what am I doing I lost my biggest fan uh D I’m just holding them to a high standard that’s it as you should listen no one holds it against you we’re just holding against him Christian Brown great rebound you uh

You’re back in the the positive wind Camp although we talked about this last night neither of you were here because it’s not again not a back toback for you two back toback for me yes thank you so much for really just sing I have heavy legs my legs are heavy but I’m carrying

This bench unit here no problem if you look at stat that’s only like this was a crazy Christian Brown game 11 points seven rebounds two blocks yeah that’s a crazy game and like three near charges but they were called blocks but yeah like what I was going to say is that

Last night we were talking about how Christian Brown is like kind of he’s like he’s plate slightly but he’s playing on the edge of out of control oh that yeah like he’s going so downhill that you wonder if he has breaks and he can like pull up in the end like there

Are there’s been of late like a lot of like Block charge moments where you’re like I think part of it is like he doesn’t have a ton of moves he doesn’t have very deep bag but he does know he’s probably maybe stronger than the guy he’s going against so he knows he can

Just muscle through that guy he doesn’t have like a wide bag but he’s got a big bag full of rocks just smash it in all right let’s hit another break a lot more to get to on the other side we’ll definitely go around the association tonight a lot of interesting games on

That all right guys who’s been naughty or nice Tiff give us our first contestant okay I have no idea what order these coming oh Draymond Green Draymond Green that is a naughty boy has he been or nice oh yeah we have to tell you if Draymond Green has been naughty

Or nice yes you have to tell me if if Draymond came in my grandma’s house she would be like go get the switch W that’s naughty go get the switch he has to cut his own switch what that that was the that was the punishment you got to choose your own

Switch you to go be switch you got to go choose a better switch so you can’t go after straight childhood psychological warfare and I’m here for it it’s not right Draymond Green cut a switch you green definitely been naughty that’s a naughty boy I’m not going to lie na he

Punching people choking people choking he’s doing everything he thinks he’s on WWE the greatest thing is that Dwayne uh who I share an office with is not fully versed in the NBA and all of the things going on so he didn’t know what was what Draymond Green was all about so I got

The opportunity to invite him into the world of Draymond Green all you got to do is show him a highlight tape I saw that’s what I did and he was like what I was like yeah no it’s bad he’s like he’s a he’s a disaster all right who’s our

Next uh contestant here Julian strw man look at him he’s an angel man that’s a nice he’s going to get whatever he want on that list he he will get whatever he wants Christmas he looks like the type that like makes Santa Claus cookies oh absolutely put them out perfectly under

The tree leave some milk also he wakes up like said I didn’t eat the cookies legitimately upset yeah dude and he’s he he actually probably going to go out and have one of those lexuses in his driveway with a big bow on top he would he would be that guy that’s very

He’s been very nice Julian STW very nice this year what a rookie do he’s the only rookie that plays and we don’t he just gets mixed up into the concept of the bench dude he he’s a rookie this you forget he’s a rookie a lot of time P

Watson was a rookie last year barely played never didn’t have near the impact that Julian father is having in his first year it’s amazing like we it’s kind of getting glossed over how impactful he’s been yeah all right who else has been naughty or nice let’s see

Here oh Reggie Jackson oh he’s been nice what are we talking about the last two games just the whole year he’s had a little bit of a naughty streak actually if we’re thinking about the whole year he was naughty then nice now naughty again how does that so where does he in

The end he’s nice all right he’s nice okay overall he’s had a nice year oh yeah I think that you uh you just tell him like Hey you only get two gifts but you make sure that he gets a a Christmas so like he hasn’t been too naughty but

He hasn’t been too nice he’s like really in the middle but he’s having such a good year that you try to forget the bad times so these are like those like false like punishments like okayy if you don’t turn it around you’re not going to get

Christmas this year you wake up and you have all your your presents every single time all right who else we got see let’s run through these um oh Musa dogger bro first off uh obviously naughty but I didn’t know who this guy was yeah he’s made a name for

Himself by being so naughty dude that’s he actually returned from his quiet nobody talk about it suspension tonight and he was roughing a game this a bad boy very he done pissed off a lot of people and when you’re when you’re that bad they got got to start

Taking pay cuts I mean you got to get a pay cut they they was not putting him on things I’m glad that you had the the Musa watch yeah because he was he was not able to to to get paid yeah you’re right because of his decision that he

Had so I’m I hope that now he has learned from his mistakes yeah who else we got Josh giddy whoa uh next I leave that one alone I mean it’s been a little naughty know we don’t know allegedly he’s naughty until proven nice nice until proven naughty who else we

Got let’s run through a couple more Trevor arza who said Gilbert arenus is a better player than Nicole yic I mean Trevor said that yeah what a what an idiot he’s not even nice or not no I didn’t see this he was on Shannon sh’s podcast he’s just trying to make a name

For shanon Shar asked him who’s the better second round pick and he said Gilbert ar oh I did see that gilber I just thought he was high for sure I was just like hey he’s just waiting for yic to bring a gun into the locker room and

Then then he’ll Leap Frog him in the mind of there’s not anything that Gilbert aren is better at though that’s the craziest part you’re just saying anything at this point and he forgot also they was like kind of trying to remind him he’s like hey come on man

Change your mind he’s like no I’m not going to do it yic has yet to do a podcast he allegedly is doing with but I guarantee he’ll be better at podcasting than Gilbert Arena also when happen did Trevor Reza like play against joic no no so he doesn’t get to know how like

Special of a player there’s probably a lot of people are like yeah he could pay attention to the basketball or whatever yeah man let’s do uh one more okay oh dude this about as nice as it gets so nice he’s helping NBA grandmothers cross the street yeah he’s

You’re right he’s uh he and Julian St are getting together they’re baking cookies together he’s like a one of those like shockingly good like nice kids he probably has like he would probably had all silver caps ate a lot of candy no curfew even though

He’s a badass kid but he’s so nice of a of a this is a nice story he’s playing so well so do we think him and uh Julian and Christian are all getting together in one of their apartments and you know baking cookies dude they are having a

You thanks you are nice as well all right let’s leave it right there just the two of us what the just two nice guys Dev uh you’re nice you’re nice fine you’re nice Dev all right here we go there we go let’s uh go around the association as we wrap up on this

Saturday night winners Lounge Superstar Dev tell me what’s going on in the league so to start us out the Bucks get their seventh straight win with a win over the Knicks 130 to 111 in this game Giannis had 28 points points Bobby Portis had 23 damiel Lillard Malik Beasley are two guys that

We knew had 19 points and Chris Middleton had 20 points so everybody was scoring over there on the other side of things Julius Randle had 26 points Jaylen Brunson had 36 there’s not a lot of scoring from for mil I was going to say it’s going to be

Interesting what happens with the Knicks because they just lost Mitchell Robinson for the season uh they’re now starting asaiah hartenstein but I wonder if they could sell off a couple of their pieces mainly Quinton Grimes your boy my boy dude will take him dude I’m I’m still

You identified him in the draft famously I famous I my my guys Quinton Grimes tar een yep called B called him uh pton Watson wait no you didn’t did not call Peyton Watson I don’t have any big misses I’d say yeah you’re a Flawless record in the draft yeah it’s true I

Mean listen that you said e is correct the Clippers got ran out of the building they lost 145 to 108 do you remember when everybody was talking about how good the Clippers was last night well they played a really good team and they got beat to sleep 145 108

Jason Tatum went crazy 30 points for him um Jaylen Brown continues to play well 24 points for him Drew holiday had 20 and Derek White had 18 lot must been the real Reon vot wanted off the show tonight A million probably it probably I’m going through some things Paul

George had 21 points to lead the Clippers their plus minuses in a blowout as you would expect they’re bad they’re super bad j- 34 14 points his age probably is actually um everybody was bad Terence Mann was a minus 33 like they they did not have anything going

Kawh Leonard did not play so maybe that changed some things for them Jesus dude PJ Tucker dnp CD that’s a situation to watch man that would be that would be kind of interesting the Houston Rockets win 106 104 super close one over the Pelicans the Pelicans it was Shan goon

37 Points 11 rebounds 11 of 21 from the FI he went 14 of 17 from the free throw line shun is getting all the Cs man I wish I wish our boy has 17 dude did you see what happened to Zion late in this game no um the Rockets

Were up two with under a minute left and he had the ball and in the middle of a play while he was dribbling he lost a shoe what yeah his shoe just came off in the middle of a did it come off or did he go through

It and then um he passed never happened in basketball oh going through the shoe that’s never happened in life I’ve seen it happened I seen Zion do it Jabari Smith had 26 points as well Zion Williamson had 28 points efficient 11 of 16 um from the field nobody else did

Anything around him brenon Ingram had 19 points but they just could not get it done could not get the win Orlando Magic beat the Indiana Pacers who who are reallying they are not playing well at all Ben Carol had 34 points again I I keep on looking these Stars Ben Carl 12

Of 16 yeah I mean he’s a star you know MVP candidate Finals MVP he should be going to the line he should be it’s not it’s not oh wait no that’s not Ben Carol sorry it’s not right sorry Miles Turner had 24 points Tyrese halberton 29 Points 14

Assists but just not enough to get the win they’re not playing well right now they’re losing a lot of games do we are we sure that the Lakers and the Pacers knew that that was the inseason tournament and not the postseason tournament you think they might have

Thought that wasof did they think that that was the playoffs they gave everything they had I don’t think usually when you win or lose the the the finals you take some months off yeah dude maybe they’re taking months off midle did they go to Disneyland were

Like was there a parade I I don’t know what happened the Utah Jazz beat the Toronto Raptors the Raptors also losing a lot of games now Utah doesn’t want to win games I’m a little shocked about this one marinan had 30 points Jordan Clarkson had 30 points I I’m shocked about that Scotty

Barnes who is really good he is good 32 points 14 uh rebounds oi 19 points and we seen that guy can’t he don’t even look at The Rim when he was playing 19 points against them though he did have a pretty naughty performance against Denver well I mean he was guarded by

John Collins who that changes some things I think everybody’s realizing not actually good we finally have our answer after four years who’s the worst team in basketball right now uh Detroit Pistons I the Detroit Pistons oh yeah the Pistons the Brooklyn Nets win 126 115 another loss for the Pistons dude they

Were even up in the first quarter in this game dud this is bad this is like they’re already they pretty much much already cemented the worst record in the league like this is just full insult to injury it’s like getting dark if you really watch these games or if you look

At the box scores it’s always the bench they like the starters don’t even be that bad they have a horrible bench they just lose a lot of games they got to start playing Jill Harris a little more yeah that’s what it is Michael Bridges had 29 Points he hadn’t been scoring for

A while it’s usually cam Thomas my guy cam Thomas Mel Bridges 10 of 10 from the free throw line man guy Finals MVP Champion he deserves to get there double digit titles everybody goes to that free throw line man that’s all I’m saying stars get there yeah the Grizzlies now 3

And 0 with johnar in their lineup wow 125 119 over the Atlanta Hawks Desmond Bane 37 points six rebounds six assists little arms gets it done johnar has 30 points 11 assists he’s playing well they’re playing well around him jiren Jackson Jr had 20 points as well Trey

Young 30 points 13 assists he has 30 every single night you just pencil him in for 30 and 10 every single night he’s good and a loss and a loss don’t forget that part Deonte Mary had 26 points so the Nuggets play The Warriors on Christmas Day do you know who they

Play after that uh the the Grizzlies are the G do the Grizzlies have enough time to Rally to make that that if they win every single game I don’t I don’t see why not if if they can get to 500 they might be able to sneak into the

Playe but they probably got to be a little over 500 they do have time it it would be improbable but they do have time I mean they started out it was tragic the start of their season yeah I mean they are 10 games below 500 still

Even after three straight ones so I I would bet against it like them making the playoffs but it’s not 0% you know yeah and then there’s what two three teams um still going on Dallas Mavericks are beating the doors off of the Spurs wimy did not play in this game

Did you guys see how he didn’t play yeah yeah I did he he went he truly is the second coming of Kevin Durant in this league he stepped on a ball boy he stepped on a ball boy and was is the ball boy okay oh yeah no why is no one

Asking about the ball boy these are the questions I have this is why you’re a journalist and worry about your slack John idiots it was like a little bitty step though like he just like stepped on twisted his have not seen video of it yeah it was pretty bad like not bad but

It was like crazy that he couldn’t play after and that’s the the injury cuz you know that it was going to be an injury but he didn’t think it would be that also Golden State Warriors who Denver plays next up 10791 over Trailblazers they also are on

The second night of a back to back um they’re playing without Draymond who was very naughty of course not going to get anything for Christmas won’t even be able to play against Denver on Christmas um but it doesn’t matter they have Steph Curry 11 to 17 from the field only two

Three uh three-pointers which is shocking um Klay Thompson had 25 and he’s he’s actually been playing well without Draymond um around um little Ying effect going on yeah until you play there was another game though Dev the Lakers beat the Thunder and the big news out of this

Game as the Lakers change up their starting lineup um they have LeBron James Running point right now and LeBron had 47 and seven in this game 47 and s j 40 points seven rebounds seven assists yeah that’s insane and yeah as as the point guard um

But also uh Anthony Davis called this a must win that they don’t do they know what they’re involved in do they think that man so if they thought the inseason tournament was the actual play must win a must- win that inseason tournament that cup this game game uh 28 on the schedule

Must win for Anthony Davis and the Lakers they listen they they got their eyes focused on the right things yeah yeah there was there was one last game that I missed um the Cleveland Cavaliers win 10995 over the Bulls 26 point from Max stru um to lead

All scores on the other side of things it was demard D rozan 21 points but they lost they lost yeah some of that Bulls magic without LaVine might be running out a little bit just a little bit all right good night in the association thanks Dev uh do we have any super chats

Tiff super chats the most super of chats uh can you put them on the screen as we read them perfect there we go yeah does somebody want to read these orange sodas says what everyone is thinking the best tree oh thank you orange sodas the best everyone says

We’ll probably get that a lot tonight A million perc I mean that’s like that that was my actual big takeaway from the game is that the best Trio is intact yeah uh okay Peter plumber says $5 thanks homie uh the Denver Nuggets are now 100 games over 500 all time 233 1 and

2231 we were all thinking that too we all know that stat W what a stat there are dude the we are not a 500 organization poverty franchise poverty franchise this dude we’re 100 games over it great stop here all right di let me get okay uh di5 says I take responsibility for my

  1. How is it. That a center can become the all time time leader in rebounds. But not be a leader in block shots?????

  2. Blocking shots is about a player being an excellent jumper. Good rebounders know how to get position and great rebounders can read how the basketball is going to come off the rim. In other words, blocking shots is an athletic play and rebounding is a basketball IQ play.

  3. I think a few things have changed when Jamal came back. Reggie had responsibility and helped the bench. The changes no doubt take time to adjust to.

  4. I'd be frustrated if Jokic was doing what Embiid is doing, no MVP caliber star should feats on lottery teams…it's pathetic…

  5. Ok enough is enough. Like WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WHISTLE that Jokic is getting. They literally call 50/50 calls between Jokic and a ROOKIE in rookie's favor. This is beyond annoying.

  6. The problem with these Jokic games is that when he is not aggressive to score, it doesn't put a strain on the defense so the whole offense is bugging. It doesn't create the advantages the Nuggets need for that beautiful play we know. That's the only reason why I am mad at him when he plays like this

  7. 4 games in 7 days – only Denver! One month ago 5 games in 7 nights..that’s insane..plus the nuggets are the only team that played 30 games…most played just 27 to 28

  8. Also stop it already, going on rants, clowning anybody who tries to win a RG season game…don't be those guys who first cry about RG season being meaningless and then clown anybody who tries to win a game…there's nuance to it, like going for fifty against a lottery team and beating them by 40 gives you nothing, different teams are in different positions, BUT generally a team trying to win a game is a good thing for basketall…so please stop it…
