114 over the Detroit Pistons we’re here to break it all down for Yam Harrison win that’s Eric Weed tring B it guys probably got to say about that what he said happy Merry Christmas Merry Serbian Christmas to everybody watching let’s go that Superstar Dev I can promise you
That’s not how you said but he tried and I love the effort man just like the Pistons oh man I they tried and they gave effort I did better than the Pistons I hope how do we do on our bets tonight Dev not great okay moving on a
Blowout this was a blowout with some truly uh never ordinary stat lines particularly from Nicole yish Jamal Murray had a monster game 37 points he’s the headliner tonight we’ll get to all of that let’s do a quick fast recap first though and to start my first notes
In here is um in the pregame show and coming off that Orlando game we were talking about Michael Porter Jr and potentially getting him more shots I don’t know if it was by Design in fact I don’t think it was by Design but Michael Porter Jr got a lot of nice early looks
In this one and he got off to a good start he had seven of Denver Denver’s first 17 he had six shots in the first quarter nuggets got him involved early he got himself involved early I thought too Jamal Murray also had seven early points too a backup center in this one
DeAndre Jordan not Zeke Nagi that was a little surprising to me well this was this was the matchup where he went absolutely crazy last time remember it was yeah after yic went out and then Reggie oh yeah yeah yeah yeah uh nuggets up 3129 after the first
Quarter another note from this game a Neman rotation in this one no uh straw no Justin holiday either Jamal Murray was staggering with the bench and he was cooking he was cooking when he was playing with the bench I jokic didn’t take his first shot in this one until
There were around five minutes left in the second quarter um but right before that actually I have here DeAndre Jordan an absolute monster dunk he he had an absolute monster dunk that uh tore the roof off ball Arena uh jic then made his first shot a couple minutes later in the
Second quarter but this first half was really just about Jamal Murray he was dominating and he was the reason the Nuggets were up I believe 6557 at the break this news came across right when the third quarter started Kade Cunningham was ruled out of this game
And that was the ceremonial end of this game as well uh but Jamal got Jamal got up to 31 points in the first uh in his first 23 minutes of this game Nicole yic got up to 15 assists with 5 minutes left in the third the Nuggets offense was just kind of running
Beautifully tons of movement tons of cutting Michael Porter Jr and Nicole yic had this great give and go down the lane Reggie Jackson had this gorgeous gorgeous behind the back pass to Payton Watson in transition and all of a sudden the Nuggets were up 10885 and uh they outscored the Pistons
43 to 28 in the third quarter that’s pretty much where this game ended Nicole yic spent the entire fourth quarter on the bench uh as did most of Denver’s starters and this turned into a blowout Nuggets win 13114 they sweep the season series with the Pistons and didn’t see that against
The Detroit Pistons this season they’ve got the tiebreaker yes well if you guys can muster up some big takeaways for me I’d love to hear him I’ll go to Dev first on this Dev what do you got this is a huge game by Jamal Murry
MH coming off of a very very bad game not a very bad game but a bad game from him in his regards um did not get it going offensively um made some mistakes and how do you get right you look at the schedule and you see the Pistons on
There and you say I’m going to go wild and he did in this one and it was great to see him make shots um play with that wiggle play with that um tenacity I guess on that end of the floor of just I’m G to score every single time down um
And he did that this was a huge game 37 points from him um four assist um and that’s how you respond um in this type of way we just got to see it consistently but that’s how you get it going yeah I mean Jamal was awesome
Tonight he finished with 37 14 of 24 shooting four assists he was in Rhythm tonight really for the whole night yeah uh for me it’s I you just can’t I can’t look past Nikola yic he’s like an he’s like Andy calman of the NBA he’s like
You don’t know if he’s doing a bit you don’t know like what exactly his motivation is his statline was is amongst the most hilarious I’ve ever seen in my entire life he had 16 assists seven rebounds four points and five blocks more blocks than points yeah dude what that was
I mean the thing he’s not even looking at The Rim he probably had more blocks than he had looks at The Rim to say he’s not looking at The Rim is that he he’s not it’s not that he’s not looking he’s looking away from the rim like he’s just
Looking anywhere but the rim it is so interesting to watch niika yic go to work and do what he does he’s obviously like the Catalyst he’s he makes everything go like the nuggets are in such Rhythm the Jamal Murray is scoring like everything’s going well it’s just
So bizarre man like I just can’t understand this guy and I don’t need to obviously like he knows what’s up he looks so miserable tonight at points like just miserable and I was positive he was going to try to get kicked out of the game after he got that first
Technical I for positive he I think he cared enough to get kicked out I was positive he was going to call that guy a shuttle coock and be on his way but listen like got the dub yic is the man he does whatever he wants to do uh you
Know it’s not again we’re we are but mortal men and we’re not we don’t need to understand his his ways but it is confusing is it not you know you say it’s confusing and you say you don’t understand him I feel like I understand him more than ever right now do you I
Feel like I do well I mean you understand him in that you understand him like watching like observing uh like when Adam watches a pack of wolves he’s able to understand but like to actually understand the psychology yic and apply it to yourself is a difficult one
When the Nuggets need nicoa yic to play at an MVP level to win that game he does when they don’t he’s fine coasting yeah and I’m fine to say he’s coasting because he absolutely is he coasted tonight he coasted against the Hornets the other night and look I think by now
Like we can just expect that from him when the nuggets are playing these terrible teams you know I’m fine with it it because by now I think we know that Nicole OIC knows how to handle himself through an 82 game regular season truly he knows how to Pace himself I think he
Paces himself he knows how to manage an 82 Game season he knows how to regulate himself through the ups and downs of a regular season and he knows how to do it more than anyone he’s not you know searching for 30 points and 10 rebounds like other centers are
Against Bad teams he’s not he’s cool getting four points yeah one way to search for 30 points would be to shoot more than three times yes um yes but I mean I I feel like I I understand them better than ever I don’t and I don’t
Want to I I’m with Dev like I don’t I don’t want to know like I if I feel like if I was given a gift like he has been given I would be like I would just want to put it on people and just like remind
Them that you know but he’s not burdened by ego the same way that Dev and I are we’re we’re but weak men we don’t get it I don’t know even as a fan I’m just like pissed cuz I’m like you’re watching this you’re like I’m telling you this guy is
So good he does whatever he wants out there he can score what he averages 26 points on the year man and he he he’s good and then he goes and does that and then I’m like trying to explain like but the passes are so good you know I that
That frustrates me and also like I understand like the pacing and wanting to um you know not go all out but I mean he had 24 minutes in this game in 24 minutes against the Pistons you should get more than three shots you should not
Only want to pass the ball you’re I mean you’re out there you’re running you’re you’re a part of the game why not still take over and dominate um in the ways that you’re supposed to he could have did 16 assists with 16 shots but Dev Dev
They had 65 points in the first half that’s just it like Jamal Murray had 37 tonight they had 43 points in the third quarter yeah I don’t want it I want him to score every goddamn time I want him to be like just like hey there’s nothing
We can do with that man there’s nothing we could do with it and it’s not I’m not blaming him or anything like that cuz you I love to see him be able to dominate in different ways but I just want I want my guy that I brag about all
The damn time to just be like hey did you see that did you see that stat line put up 50 again I love that I want to be able to say I know this all this tells me is that for Serbian Christmas tonight we need to get yic a phone he needs to
See Twitter he just doesn’t understand what it’s like out here problem in these streets maning do not need him to see he’s bragging about like not being like not having a phone and not being on social maybe he needs to maybe he needs
To be at it a little B are going off you know who has a phone Jamal Murray like he saw the tweets you guys are wild right now you guys are wild I just want him to don’t don’t be don’t be Santa and just giving away presents go get Buckets
Well I was actually going to bring that up is this simply yic following along with the Serbian Christmas theme giving out gifts handing out presents stol to others he handed out 16 of them tonight it’s again this is It’s just he’s just so much better than we are I mean I
Understand this like I know this Dy DC it’s not right for me to just want more from him in the way that it feels most delicious to me it but but I’m again I’m mortal I am flawed he is better than me and he does the right thing I do the
Wrong thing and I just want I’m like Dev like I just want to see him like I want Sports Center to start off with them being like Oh yish scores 60 points against the Detroit Piston but it’s you know yic scores Four Points you know I wouldn’t actually I wouldn’t be upset if
He just in the interview after just came out and said like I I wanted to get everybody involved I wanted everybody else to eat yeah I would be okay with that but the fact that he doesn’t answer on it or he doesn’t say anything and
It’s just like I’m going to go out there and just take three shots and we’re going to win by a lot I I’m I’m cool with that but I I’m tired of seeing that I don’t want see you guys are crazy man you guys are talking crazy right now
Because what does Nicole yic say after every game I play the way what the game gives I play the way the game goes like I play Within the flow of the game whatever happens that night like that’s how I play Jamal murg was cooking tonight he was cooking that’s how yic
Played tonight he never tells a lie he always tells you how it is oh for sure uh you know listen again not a for me not a criticism of him it’s just I don’t know the game gave him the game gave him Isaiah livers and Jaylen
Duren go go go kill them go kill them too I want you to kill them I’m not saying it’s not a great yic game I think that is a great great they’re all incredible I love to see him play some of those passes were incredible the skip
Pass to Michael Porter Jr to the three beautiful I also want to be able to argue with people I love the fact of hey my dude can go for 42 you know what I mean like this is the person that I’m defending all the time we’ve seen him do
16 assists before we’ve seen it before want him to have 16 assists and 30 points and he could have did that in this game that’s all Harrison what was your big takeaway my big takeaway was actually something to do with uh Michael mone’s rotation and we saw Jamal Murray stagger with the second
Unit for the first time in a while tonight yeah I think for the first time since he came back from his latest injury you might be right might have been the hamstring or the ankle since he’s come back since jamur has come back Michael Malone’s just pretty much played his
Five bench guys together a lot you know unless there’s been some foul trouble he’s gone with Aaron Gordon at backup center in second half sometimes but largely he has not staggered a ton of starters he has definitely not staggered Jamal Murray with the second unit since Jamal’s come back from those injuries
Tonight he did and I think part of that might have had to do with Julian St being out it sounds like he might be out for a little bit and I also wonder if another part of it is now Jamal is very far removed from those injuries you know he’s played like
10 plus games since coming back he’s healthy not on a minute restriction I wonder if this is like the Nuggets transitioning into a different portion of their season with their second unit where maybe they’re they’re slowly closing the door on the fiveman bench unit we’ll see and maybe shifting
Into more of a ninan rotation into Jamal Murray staggering with the second unit just ramping up a little bit not not a ton yeah it feels a little early not not a ton slightly slightly thinking about what their rotation is going to look like when the
Games mean a little bit more in April yeah you’re probably right I mean although he he had kind he had a few different versions of the Stagger tonight like there were times when kcp was out there when Michael Porter Jr was out there um I think probably a lot of
It has to do with the fact that Julian’s out injured but I don’t think that you’re completely off base I do think that the coaches are using this part of the the season to gather information to like really kind of see like who their guys are um so yeah could be and he
Staggered kcp as well he did not stagger Michael Porter a ton I think he did in the first half slightly uh end of the first quarter when Jamal Murray was out but um Jamal Murray returning to more of that role seems like something that could emerge
As a storyline over the next couple of weeks and I mean him playing with the bench is something that’s been the case the last several years and you know in the playoffs as well so um maybe a preview of of what to come of things to
Come uh let’s hit a first break lots more to get to on the other side we got Bren and vote at the arena tonight oh baby he’ll give us the down on what Michael Malone had to say what Jal Murray and pton Watson had to say I bet
He has thoughts on Michael Porter Jr you think he’s going to bring that up I think he I think he might do you think he got off a question to Michael Malone about Michael Porter Jr uh I hope he did let’s find out I hope he did we also got

Guys’ takeaways from his game fair to say he was not happy with his previous game uh Jamal Murray definitely came out looking to make a point Jamal Murray definitely came out looking to write the wrong like he was he was Under Fire I would say on in in the the world of
Nuggets Twitter whether or not he cares or not uh remains to be seen But like I think probably just by his own standards he was not happy with the way that that game ended last night and or the night before yeah and um you know he was super
Aggressive I don’t know that this is always like the be the way you want Jamal Murray to approach a game um but I think that like he just wanted for himself to like get right like he he was taking shots that were ranged from good
To bad but he was making all of them so it’s like hard to really criticize the guy so I liked I loved what I saw I love when Jamal is hitting shots when he’s aggressive oh yeah the big thing is like how you respond after a bad game um um
The aggression is like the big point he took 24 Shots in this game and that’s after not having the best game shooting the ball so it’s like hey how do you get right you you just get downhill you knock down shots he was making tough shots he was making easy shots but also
He was competing on that end of the floor to like let his guys know also like the fact that they’re they’re feeding the hot man like I know I’m very critical of joic on you know on everything but I mean they fed the hot man and that’s you’re supposed to do
When a guy gets hot you’re supposed to get him involved make sure that he you know he feels that and Jamal was like hey I got it going on tonight give me the ball and everybody else did get him involved um so um that’s great those things like they matter down down the
Road where you’re like hey I know if I get hot my my guys are going to feed me because there’s times where you feel like you’re getting Iced Out of the game like Mark Porter Jr and things like you turn down shots because you just don’t
Know if you’re going to get it with Jamal he’s like okay I’m going to respond I’m going to shoot I’m going to score um and this was a game that he had it going on yeah I mean it seemed from the opening tip that he was going to try
To make it his night you know and I mean more power to him like he definitely wanted to bounce back from that bad last possession against the magic and I mean he did the thing that I noticed about his night tonight was everything looked
So easy it did he got to all of his spots you know Jamal has his specific spots on the floor like the elbows he loves getting to the elbows he loves those Baseline post-ups too his dribble pull-ups he was getting to everything that he wanted tonight with ease getting
Space creating space from the defense and um it was like a clean game from him a super clean game almost no mistakes just one turnover and I mean this felt like a playoff type of performance from him like he was hitting Shots tonight that he takes and makes in the playoffs
Yeah that was great to see yeah he’s getting back to like the the bully ball like I’m a big guard like we’re seeing more of him going in the poster just um getting like a ISO basket where he’s either going to dance with you or he’s
Going to you know put his hip on you so that you’re he’s going to do the step back but I like the fact that he’s confident enough to put you in ISO and he scores more often not or you’re going to foul him um so he’s getting more into
That um which means his bag is opening up a little bit more he’s feeling more comfortable in himself and when you have Jal that’s hot you get yish start starts shooting more um scoring more that’s going to be hard to just get into that two man where they both have it going on
Yeah no it was I mean I like what you said he W he did shoot a lot he shot 24 times but and there were a couple that was you were a little questionable but he made those um but it was like pretty easy work for him like he he wasn’t
Really pushing it um he I mean he was obviously looking for his own shot um he was making it but it didn’t it didn’t feel like he was you know just he was putting too much on himself like he just kind of it seem like he was pressing you
Know that was the word I was like yeah he was definitely not pressing tonight which was great and uh just nothing better when the when the the blue arrow is is flying man he’s just knocking down shots it’s just like another and nobody loves to see that more than yic right
It’s just like another night where he’s like great I don’t have to worry about this like Jamal do it take it please maybe that had something slightly to do with the def defense like not the best defenders that were rolled out there tonight not a not a great not a great
Not a great opponent fair to say yeah but no just an amazing night for Jamal I mean 37 points it’s his season high so far uh last time he got 30 plus I believe was a couple weeks ago um oh yeah against Brooklyn he got 32 but
Before that I think that was the only other time he’s gotten 30 points this season yeah I think it’s just two 30 plus point games from him this was the second and a season High uh he just played in control he he was kind of dominant tonight 14 of 24 from the floor
Three of eight from three a story with Jamal Murray this year is that he’s shooting a career-high 42% from three yeah and it’s only on 5.7 attempts per game which is about a three-pointer per game down from where it was last year um but three of eight it was great to see
Him get a that many threes he he is a 40% three-point shooter like he is that he is that accomplished as a three-point shooter he just is like never actually been at 40% like when the season ends but that like we all can watch Jamal Murray shoot threes it looks natural
Like he has a beautiful stroke and when he gets hot like you just know it’s going in every single time like this feels correct yeah he finished that 41% in 21 but then dipped down below 40 last year 42% like clearly a career high though so it’s that’s great to see
Michael Porter tonight finished with 18 points 7 to 12 shooting okay in 28 minutes second most shots in the team here’s my question though did you notice anything different about the shots he was getting maybe plays being called for him the amount like of focus on Michael
Porter and the Nuggets offense was any of that different tonight compared to previous games you know based on Michael Porter saying after the Magic game that hey you know maybe coaches need to draw up some plays to get other people involved I think yes I think that it was
A more concerted effort to make him part of the offense the only caveat with that is when he’s wanting to just only be part of the offense we don’t see the rebounds we don’t see the assist like he went back to the old mpj of just only
Shooting the ball or just trying to score I liked having the the Rhythm and the balance of he’s getting involved he’s like hey I can’t score in this way so I’m going to try to go and get a rebound and then take it Coast to Coast
Or I’m going to get an extra cut um because guys are you know you’re going to have to find me so I mean this was one game um so I do think that it’ll come with the balance but I do think that people was trying to get him
Involved and he scored more baskets I I bet that he’s happy about the shots that he got um and I think that I mean that was part of the like the conversation going into this game so yeah yeah I it seemed like yic was looking for him like it I I did
Notice that there were a couple passes he got that were like joic kind of went above and beyond to like Loop it even when he wasn’t even necessarily the guy that was most open I mean like listen like these guys like each other they you know I you said something in the pregame
It’s like they whether or not it it comes down to alone or or you know Jamal doing being selfish or whatever like the fact that mpj vocalized that would make the the rest of the team be like oh okay I didn’t I mean I I didn’t know you’re
Feeling that way like let me make sure that you’re happy like you’re our brother like I want to make sure that you’re feeling like you’re eating the same as the rest of us um so I’m I’m positive I mean it to the naked eye it looked very clear that they wanted to
Get Michael Porter Jr feeling good in Rhythm shooting I mean it’s uh you know it’s it’s a long season it’s a lot of ups and downs but you know they want they want everybody to feel like they’re uh like they’re contributing and like they’re not feeling like they’re being
Isolated out so um yeah man you know it it is interesting though that is a really interesting point he had one rebound like that’s uh an interesting byproduct of uh Michael Porter Jr I guess shooting more often I guess now it’s on him to sort of figure out how he
Can play both roles but again he did get the second most shots on the team he got 12 yeah and it probably helped uh it probably helped with Nicole yic not looking at The Rim at all yeah I know that probably got a few extra shots
That’s the thing there’s a lot of shots out there when y yic only takes three yeah uh but yeah he went 7 to 12 only one to five from three missed some good looks I feel like they look to get him involved I don’t think they were you
Know calling a ton more plays for him than they usually do it didn’t seem like or anything like that he was aggressive though yes he was aggressive in terms of he got the ball a couple times I think in situations where he might have passed
It last game and he took it to the rim or he fired up a mid-range shot or something so I just felt like maybe individually he was he was more aggressive too um yeah it it was a fine game for me like really great give and
Go with yic found him the rim like there were a couple like good uh drives he took he finished it like he had I mean I I think it was like fair to say this was like a nice bounce back game for Porter as well like just through and through um
You know and plus he got the Stagger he also led the team in plus minus yeah he’s a plus 29 plus 29 28 minutes uh so I mean it was it was a great game for him I hope that uh I hope he feels good
About it we feel good about it good for you Mike yeah do you guys have any notes on Aaron Gordon or uh Casey P dude Gordon was like pretty invisible tonight yeah I have zero notes on Aaron Gordon tonight yeah I don’t remember he only had one rebound too I don’t remember a
Standout play from him I don’t remember like a dunk I don’t remember him touching the ball yeah he was kind of just like under the radar just calm um the entire time um which is great you don’t need him in these type of games like this is not an Aaron Gordon
Standout type of game um but yeah I do think that he I feel like he was invisible kcp I do I don’t feel like he was as invisible I feel like he shot the ball a lot yeah he shot the ball a lot he’s I mean great on defense he was
Making Kade work for everything that he had early in that game before he got out of the game um but go one of six before he got hurt yeah he’s a pest and he’s going to make it tough for him and Kate is a that’s a big guard like that’s a
That’s a guy that’s that’s not a kcp type of matchup but he made it a kcp matchup because he just wants to defend you know the the best guy on on the other team um and this was going to be another guy on the list that you put
Down for kcp locked him up um but I do like to see him being aggressive in a game like this kcp shot the lights out tonight he shot 60% from the field 50% from three like 18 points had the same number of points as Michael Porter Jr
Fewer shots like he he could do no wrong man I mean he was really this was as professional a outing as you could ever hope for from your fifth starter like he just what a luxury it is to have him unbelievable he’s like you forget you
Kind of there are games you kind of forget about kcp a little bit and then he just shows back up and you know like th those were the quietest 18 points they’re just you need a bucket he gets a bucket I mean I you know there’s not a
Lot of like high leverage moments so like there there wasn’t a lot that was allowed in this game other than how much the Detroit Pistons stink um but man like exactly what you want out of KC I am a bit shocked that he played as much
As he played in this game like this is a guy that plays a whole bunch of minutes most minutes on the team tonight it’s against Detroit you’re in a blowout situation but I think that Malone looked at his he’s getting himself going offensively let’s reward him you know
For that you know like hey this is a game that we’re going to let him score every single time but 36 minutes um in this game led the team by a a huge margin I think it was just like a A vibe type of night for him was vibing uh
Let’s hit another break I want to get to some guys on the bench including Payton Watson that over he continues to just really impress here H we’ll get to all that on uh the other side of this break I know we didn’t do great on our bets

Then like the Hulk all it took was a or Thompson to shove him down maliciously without any reason and pton Watson went sicko mod he got so angry start Breeze he’s he let he dunked emphatically like he really wanted to make a point like pton Watson is still like has like uh
Emotion is a big part of his game you know which is good especially like as the games ratchet up and get bigger and bigger I mean he was like I said he started off a little slow like you didn’t quite know what you were getting out of Payton Watson he found some
Synergy with yic ear they got an alleyoop from him and then like they ran the same play two times in a row he almost got two alley oops in a row um but as soon as as soon as the bear was poked man uh pton Watson came alive and
Like you saw him flexing screaming it was awesome man you love to see people playing with passion like that yeah he really did come alive after that yeah it seemed like um it was assor Thompson yeah shouldered him and from behind on that fast break flagrant won and then
Yeah he went off he was ready to fight after he was man kyp got off the bench had to hold him back Christian Brown or I think Colin gie had to like hold him back too man that’s great man that’s what you really that’s what you want
From your bench that’s what you want from a guy that’s supposed to like rally everyone um and he’s been given that energy and that’s the biggest thing is like the consistency he’s been putting good game after good game together every single time and it’s on both ends of the
Floor he got a blocking a still in this game he also scored he also gets out on the break like he’s on the floor all the time like because he’s getting to the free throw line or he’s diving for loose balls or he’s just doing everything that
He needs to do to earn a couple extra minutes to like rally everybody else around him he seems to be the guy in the second unit that they like feed off of and and they go through um really and I love the fact of how involved everyone
Is with Peyton Watson like I feel like everybody took him under his wing every single starter you just talk about um you just talk about uh kcp grabbing him to know not fight um yic has him in in commercials um DeAndre Jordan is coaching them the entire time that he’s
On the like the guys like pton Watson and Peyton Watson has giv his all for the guy so I just love that that balance yeah yeah he was awesome tonight 15 points six rebounds a steal on a block like you said he was a plus seven Off
The Bench 23 minutes man I mean he’s at the point now where he’s playing more than you know Christian Brown he played more than Reggie Jackson tonight uh he continues to just really impress pton Watson does like two or three things every single game M that blow me away
The crazy that I haven’t seen a Nuggets player do in a long time the crazy thing is it’s different his game is so V it’s interesting because like some nights he’s just knocking it down from three and then other nights he’s just doing thunderous dunks some nights it’s both
Some nights he’s like all over the defensive side of the ball it’s it’s pretty remarkable man I mean he obviously like consistency is his big issue you know he’s a young player but he’s kind of being he’s consist somewhat consistent I would say he’s like consistently quality yeah you know but
Like it’s you don’t exactly know what night tonight it’s going to look like for him but you have some you can at least think he’s gonna play well in one form or another which is amazing all right I believe we have Brendan vote from ball Arena
The and Jamal Murray I know that sure Jamal Murray was in a splendid mood tonight with the media vote he was fellas he was good night from both Malone and Murray with the media and Michael Malone made it all about the third quarter which he talked
About pregame with us us and also with his team if you include tonight boys this is the fourth straight game when either the Nuggets or their opponents scored 40 points in the third quarter 40 or more points that’s weird it’s crazy but the Charlotte game that back to back
Tonight either the Nuggets or their opponent dropped 40 in the third so it was a point of emphasis obviously the Nuggets were on the right end of it tonight and so Malone credited them for you know hearing that message responding to that challenge he didn’t think it was
The cleanest effort from them tonight especially defensively there were a couple of um of free throw rebounds where they didn’t box out which he felt was unacceptable but he did credit them for that third quarter and obviously boys that’s where this game was won he talked about Jamal Murray
Being easy to read he remembers Malone remembers what his mom used to tell him that he was easy to read like she could read him like a book and he he didn’t understand what that meant uh now he does he says I don’t think I’d be a very
Good poker player and the same thing goes for Jamal you can just see uh you could just see that he was locked in tonight and he said that I think at some point either before the half or in the second quarter he was walking off the floor yelling at everyone or talking to
Everyone we got to be better defensively we got to be better at rebounding uh and so Malone called that infectious and said you could tell just by being around him that Murray was locked in tonight then talking about the rotation he did mention this Julian strw
Is out and he’s going to be out quote for a little while end quote I think it’s a big loss Malone said Julie is a guy that I would run a lot of plays for uh that came up in a different kind of context but that is uh that’s something
He let slip Julian’s out he’s going to be out for a little while he didn’t elaborate on that um but there’s a little update on Julian he talked about the the connection that Reggie and DJ have in the pick and roll he did not actually finish citing the stat but he
Said there’s some stat out there that among uh pairs with 100 total pick and rolls DeAndre and Reggie are in the top 10 they’re even ahead of Jamal and NOA I assume he means points per possession in that pick and roll when it’s Reggie and DeAndre they’ve been great uh and then
Finally he said look as a team I think now we’re 12 and three in our last 15 grains that’s great but in our last three games we haven’t defended well not well enough for where we want to go we heard from Jamal Murray who was asked this is something you know if
You’ve covered the team as long as we have you know but it only comes up every now and then you know he was so good in the mid post and in the post tonight and with his footwork and and he talked about how he grew up playing the five
Because he was taller than everyone so when it came to training with his dad they worked inside and then out uh so that’s what he what he knew first he feels like he’s got a good feel for the footwork a good array of moves down there um but he’s just comfortable and
Then he said this it’s even more natural for him than it ever was especially coming out of rehab where he had to learn how to play just a slightly slower step and that’s kind of you know conducive to being a methodical and effective post player he talked about
Some of his favorite post Idols Kobe hakee Dirk and then Andre Miller the deep cut which we all loved in the Media Group nice on the in the third quarter when we asked him what went into that you know the players kind of hate that question like you know you guys played
Well in the third or you didn’t tonight why was that they hate that one and Jamal joked he said uh you know I just think it’s because everyone got out there a little bit earlier tonight you know got some shots up and he was kidding of course and then he said no in
Truth uh we were in really good spirits and we took Malone’s Challenge and we didn’t want have anything to say about that after the game so why are you so good in the second segment tonight right uh I respect the process okay there you
Go yeah it’s true I feel like I would be like I don’t eing know man I’m just playing I guess I don’t know but he did that everyone was in a good mood coming out of the locker room tonight and PR eager to uh to prove Malone R he was
Asked if he’s watched a lot of the Pistons he said look I don’t think they’re as bad as the record uh I know they were missing lies and then he says but look I don’t have too much to say I don’t really watch the Pistons I’m a Denver Nuggets
Fan and yeah I don’t blame Jamal my favorite quote uh was on Payton we’ve talked about this on our show fellas how important confidence is and Murray had this to say about pton Watson I think it’s less about the skill and more about the confidence I think having confidence
And belief in his shot is important and Christian too he thinks Christian has that right now and then he saide Julian is next and there’s a great follow-up question for for what it means to sort of gain confidence in the NBA and Murray said the biggest thing is playing
Through mistakes he talked about how he got to do that when he was young he knew he could shoot and score but can he play defense can he close games and when guys are encouraging you when you’re allowed to make mistakes see yourself improve and get better and figure out why uh
That helps a lot Murray said and that’s the spot that Watson’s in great stuff man um um any other observations anything else from B I’m sure you guys have actually I don’t know if you guys have hit on this one but the nuggets are 18 and0 now
Against teams below 500 so just signs of maturity one way or another they find a way to win these games and it certainly is not because yic is scoring 100 points fellas performance art tonight in ball Arena Four Points seven boards 16 assists five blocks just a standard
Center production you know we actually have not mentioned that but it is a good point to bring up for sure they are undefeated against below 500 teams only 8 and 12 against above 500 teams though and on the flip side boys the Pistons are winless against teams
With a winning record so I’m there you go I’m not a great blueprint tonight for them yeah all right V thank you man appreciate it good stuff boys can you imagine playing uh poker alone and him rage folding he would be a terrible poker play what the hell I didn’t I didn’t
Mean to laugh when vote brought up Michael Malone saying stw’s going to be out for quite a while I laughed at Michael Malone’s quote about he’s somebody I run plays for right just in the context of the Michael Porter Jr discussion that was funny to hear that
Was funny but it it does suck that it sounds like Julian St is gonna be out of the lineup for a bit um final break we’ll finish up with some final notes from this game and also go around the association on the other side right all right back here on the
Winers Lounge presented by bet 365 never ordinary everybody everybody watching live got a the treat of uh not sitting through it adad because it was put in after the fact old habits die hard um anything else you guys want to get to from this game DeAndre Jordan
Played tonight I mean vote mentioned the pick and roll with him and Reggie Jackson I mean that’s a real real thing those two do have really good chemistry in the pick and roll d DJ is a much better lob Target than Zeke Nagi um and uh yeah he he played okay I
Thought yeah my thing is like um us really like seeing a a True Unicorn and that’s not a name that we’ve talked about or a word that we’ve used in a long time because Y is is just so different but really he is so different um first player in NBA history with 15
Assists five rebounds five blocks and less than five points the the most what is that stat line it’s unbelievable he has so many records like really so many there’s a lot of first sense wilts but this is like first yeah dude wil would never would never this is
Actually first since Jaylen Rose really I think I saw um not since jayen yeah what there was like different stipulations but he’s the first to do this one exactly but Jaylen Rose had 16 assists and what five six blocks or something crazy six blocks I think yeah
Which is wild but also like it really goes to show how how unique of a player yic really is um and we’re just living through a time yeah and you guys just want him to shoot more you’re right yeah that’s true you guys are just pissed
About him not getting 30 against the P list you could you’re going to play you you’re magnanimous you’re above it all you take what he gives we we’re not saying that we’re not criticizing the man it’s just sometimes when you have a toy you want to you want to play with it
You know what I mean like every it’s Christmas day you want to shoot that Red Rider BB gun you don’t want to just sit on it and just use it for decoration he obviously understands the game at a much higher level than any of us do that
Anyone who plays the game like 99% of people who ever play the game well just you know just he also possesses it’s like did you ever see that uh oh what was the movie um I’m going to freimer no that was a f that was a great movie no
The yeah he’s like uh they’re talking about trying to hit on a woman he’s like you’re looking at this bunny you’ve got these claws you’re like how do I attack him with they got these claws he had he could make was that the Ryan Gosling one no it’s uh swingers swingers um
Different he can kill the buddy whenever he wants he just is a pacifist and sometimes you just want him to go out and shoot because it’s so fun when yic makes crazy shots yeah but that’s not to say winning is fun and he’s the best and
We can’t criticize him it’s just you you know whatever okay let’s go around the association Dev tons of action in The Association tonight I can’t wait to get to some of these games yeah let me pull up some of these games tons of games 10 games I think tonight oh man lots of
Action we have to get on another page Western Conference Eastern Conference so we’ll start with Cleveland versus the Spurs the Spurs have been close to teams they’re not winning but they’re like entertaining right now they lost 117 to 115 um after a late rally um from the Spurs wimy had 24 points 10
Rebounds um Vel he I mean he’s a bucket 22 points um in this game Jared Allen had 29 Points 16 rebounds Carris Levert scores whenever he wants to he has 23 um Donovan Mitchell didn’t really do much in this one um or he did he had 17 um
Nine assists though um much going on while we’re still here and we’re just talking about yes um just games played nuggets now have 26 wins on the year which is only behind um Boston Celtics because they played more games than other people they’re in second in um the
Western Conference but they have more wins than Timberwolves um I think that that’s very entertaining nuggets have played the most games most backto backs that just means the second half of the schedule should be cake right should be cake the Trailblazers get a win they beat the Brooklyn Nets 134 127 high scoring
Affair was an overtime game Jeremy Grant our old friend 27 points not really a friend do up never heard of him who 15 points 13 rebounds yeah I should have did that I should did that um Anthony Simons had 38 points 11 assists he’s a bucket yic used to have those type of
Stats all right whatever the blade yeah do you want yic to be leading a 10 and 25 team no I didn’t ask for that I asked for more buckets that’s it that’s it that is a simple request one that will never be Michael Bridges have 42 points he hasn’t
Been scoring much lately so this is like a monster game from him Nick claxon has 16 Points 11 rebounds um so that was a high scoring entertaining game the yeah Pelicans win 133 to 100 over the Kings so like West teams that we want to lose they’re losing that’s great Pelicans
They look good when they’re hot they’re hot and when they’re on they’re on um all of our foes are 30 points for CJ McCullum um big Val have 15 points 12 rebounds big Val no Zion no Zion in this one really they don’t need them they don’t need them and they’re they’re they
Don’t have them that often so sabonis had 17 points 10 rebounds minus 32 they got blown outus 32 there was a lot could not score iname there was a lot of blows one of 10 from the field what wow do that against us one one time dude
Darren Fox put up a yic statline three points yeah B how many shots though 10 you want to know why it looked horrible cuz they lost if they lost you’ll be like come on yeah right it’s easy if you’re winning that’s all I’m saying it was a blowout Darren Fox looked horrible
Um Orlando gets a win um overtime win 117 110 over the Atlanta Hawks um 31 points for Trey young nine assists um dejonte Murray had 24 points I wonder if he’s going to get do you guys think he gets trade it yeah again yeah yeah he
Has to um Ben Carroll who we just saw that guy’s huge huge 35 points 10 rebounds he’s playing well right now I I have a prediction that we are all going to think highly of Palo ban Carol for the rest of his career just because we were Courtside for that game yeah dude
Tell me another reason like what more reason do you need like I just watching a guy where you’re like in a group of NBA players that stands out that much physically you’re like oh my God that guy’s unbelievable he he looks good and he’s good like he’s actually a good
Player though so it’s it’s easy to root for that guy um whatever Dallas Mavericks win 115 108 over the Timberwolves let’s go this was a big one this was a a good one I know we were all rooting for Luca in this one Kyrie Irving had 35 points really first good
Game for him in a I mean he hasn’t been playing he had 27 shots Luca had 34 points eight assists they had two 30 30 uh 30 30 plus uh scores on the same team that’s a that’s a big game after that no one else or drick Jones Jr had 12 points
Um but it was the Twan show Anthony Edwards had 36 points um Anthony tals had 24 not enough Rudy goar had 9.17 rebounds yices 17 rebounds I bet you they want him to score more it’s just the the problem with him is he they lost he score more that’s
Memphis Memphis Grizzlies get a win this was another good game that we wanted or a big uh loss who did they beat they beat the Suns 121 115 what but the big three were playing I don’t understand yeah but they had jiren Jackson Jr but John Marin wasn’t playing jiren Jackson
Jr 28 points 10 rebounds plus 25 yo that’s rough yeah that is a crazy one 23 points for Desmond Bane 25 points for Marcus Mart Vince Williams Jr had 19 points I think how proud Vince Williams Senor is today they had they had they had a big four it just didn’t have John
Morand in it the Suns they’re realing they’re not they’re not playing D the Suns got out scored 35 to 18 in the fourth quarter of this game yeah with no jaw Mor Devin Booker had 24 points nine of 177 from the field Kevin Durant 11
For 20 uh 11 of 23 um 23 points minus seven minus seven he yeah but they’re going to say that he’s one of the best they’re going to talk about him being a top five like i j Jackson Jr went off and nurkic was
Playing I I can’t do this math I I don’t understand that’s defensive stalwart back there yeah not today um Toronto Raptors win 133 118 over the Golden State Warriors and it was the RJ Barrett game he had 37 points six rebounds six assists he’s excited about that trade I
Am pretty sure you know he’s not Pascal SE yakum he’s ready to be traded he did have 16 points but they had a new guy coming in and take all the shots and he’s playing well right now he’s Canadian getting the hometown love oh yeah dude oh yeah man yeah Klay Thompson
LED um The Warriors in scoring he had 25 points Steph Curry was two of 14 man it’s bad it’s going to get bad in the bay man it’s getting bad already dude I so are we are we done with the around the association we’re done we’re done there there’s this narrative out there
That the West is like way tougher than it was last year really and I think it’s kind of [ __ ] well the problem for us is that we watch the best team every night so everyone seems bad to us but the Lakers suck Yep they’re terrible the Suns suck the Warriors suck uh the
Timberwolves are good okay the Thunder are good okay do we forget that like the Grizzlies won 50 games last year they were a good team last year like the king the Mavs are the same same team they were last year the Pelicans are this this narrative that the West is so much
Tougher than it was last year well you know what yeah it’s exactly I just don’t see it it’s because there are three or four teams that are have made a a leap but it’s not taking into account the fall of the teams that you consider to
Be good yes but last year you had the Grizzlies at 51 wins the Kings won 48 games last year those teams were good it’s just cuz it’s because of the Pelicans the Thunder and the Timberwolves yeah yeah it’s exactly that like just seeing teams that you did not
Think was going to win at all at the top but you’re not yeah really you’re not taking into account the other teams that that are not I’m just not buying that the West is this greatly improved conference from last year everyone sucks but us it doesn’t
Really matter uh let’s get to some super chats who bunch of them rolling in tonight you want me to get them sure all right from our man stray what up thanks homie nuggets get right all nuggets good uh don’t argue it even the gold are looking hot to start the second half of

Jokic 2 time MVP, finals MVP, he’s doesn’t have any to left to prove. If the team is better around him, the Nuggets are better.
BOUNCED BACK LESGOOO! 🤩😝 we the second seat rn 🏆
It seems that Nuggets are using some games just to practice tactics and let some of players get more confidence in their skills. That means Jokic needs to give ball to others…
Murray doing the Embiid 😀 hope he got his confidence back and can start playing basketball sooooon, I won't survive if he clams the whole offense in some of these PHI games and we loose
btw how is not west better when PHX+LAL+GSW+DAL+SAC are the same teams and OKC+MIN+(LAC?+NOP?) stepped up? I mean you have 2-4 teams getting better, nobody falling off…by basic logic you have a better conference. Does it make difference in PO =1v1 match ups for DEN? no, because number of team improved, BUT the teams at the top did not. So the only difference might be health when it come to PO for DEN.
Man I’m still seeing people try to hate on jokic cuz he “doesn’t care” or “doesn’t love the game” and as you guys have talked about many times that is the problem with the modern NBA and more specifically the Media and how they cover it. All about the Individual, all about the star power, all about “getting buckets” this is crazy to say but I think Joker is the closest thing to Kobe that we’ve had since.
I saw this reel on instagram of jokic goofing around in warmups and this guy who posted was saying how much he Hates Jokic cuz he doesn’t even like the game. Doesn’t care, doesn’t even celebrate when he wins. I just sent him the clip of his buzzer beater like really? It’s so bizarre to me so many people don’t even realize it’s a bit and he’s just trolling everyone.
Man it sucks… we get one game where the refs give us a shit ton of free throws, than Steve Kerr says something and we have to deal with this again.
When I woke up this morning I got on my up just to see who won and I saw Denver 113 Detroit 114 and I was so (bored/down idk forgot english word for that) and now kike 6 hours later I get on yt and see this video and realize Denver won
I would argue to death that this was the best Jokic game. The game you need to watch if you want to understand how great he is. He doesn't want anything for himself, he just wants his team to win and make people happy (in this case his teammates). So if they win comfortably with his teammates scoring, he would really help them do it. His highest scoring games come in playoffs (53 points against Suns) when his team needs him. MPJ said it right – Jokic can score 50 every night if he wants.
100% with Dev and D-Line. Jokic gets on my nerves when he plays like that
BAD BAD game last night , and with their best player out , murray pushing ISO, we didn`t learn anything. Murray horrible game against horrible team means nothing, he needs consistency and not THIS. and to add JOK was so frustrated about the way they played( yes, if this was a good team it would end badly)
Murray needs to be locked in , this was Kuzma Pool game from him which i hate
I’m not impressed with Murray. I want to see him have great games against great teams now.
I get a bad feeling he’s caring more about All Star appearances than he is team & winning chips. He’s obviously got amazing talent, but something is off & I don’t think his head is right.
I hope I’m wrong.
Should have started the bench just to have Jok bring us back !
The disconnect between mortal men and Jokic is the mistake of focusing on stats… or more specifically Scoring stats. He does what his team needs to win. Nothing more nothing less. And his stats communicate that, even when his Scoring pts are 4.
You realize that he dominated the game with 16 assists? Those assist led do about 35 points.
Why is no one talking about the mysterious ‘flop’ calls back to back?! Horrid calls. The refs need to explain that.
Anyone who ever tries to say Jokic is stat padding should have to watch this game.
LOVE THAT JACKET ON THE GUY IN THE MIDDLE……. GO SERBIA
