Another balanced performance from the Denver Nuggets’ big 3 scorers | DNVR Nuggets Podcast

Yeah I already broke I already broke the seal I already broke the seal baby brother you already broke the seal we don’t say anything we’re about to start a live oh God where live up everybody what is everybody welcome to the winners let’s go baby let’s

Go just getting a tweet out it was it a good one was it about npj yeah was it positive imagine you possess truly Elite ability in your favorite thing everyone tells you you’re destined for greatness but your body gives out and the doctors tell you it’s over play play some

Dramatic music K do we have any dram we have the [ __ ] music all right that’s good enough and and it’s a picture of our guy holding the trophy I it just says don’t take him for granted I feel like this is I feel like this is about you in tweeting

Though don’t take him for granted for told me to stop my therapist told me to stop like it was bad for you uh nuggets get the win I feel like this is one of those games you know sometimes they give you a game win or lose there’s one thing

Remember the other night they lost to Utah nothing to talk about literally nothing to talk about we talked about times we phoned it in at work that is what that was the only thing we could talk about then there’s games like tonight so many story lines pleora a

Plethora of things to talk about to help me out I got Brennon vot let’s go he has so miss time today you know like the timing is uneven I don’t get I am I’m on a delay right now um I can’t dude just go to someone else Michael witer Jr

Don’t I can’t wait for my big takeway it’s about it PJ over here I got dco wearing the same shirt as me it is a sweatshirt not a sweater uh we’re wearing it together because we are Company Men and we also enjoy fashion uh the nuggets are great the Takeover was

Fantastic I love all of our people uh Life’s good you know what I mean man life is so good and then over there rounding out the show Superstar Dev again we’re going to talk about that uh the perch the perch was pretty good today perch it up you ping yeah we met a

Couple of families uh Amy Fox and her kids we got to meet them they were super excited uh super cool um were they pretty bummed that I wasn’t there absolutely come come they didn’t come up I apologize but yeah just I love being with the people I love the takeovers

Take over night so you know we’re going to have some people coming over so we got to get through our notes quickly fast breakdown let’s go fast ball was popping early do you guys remember the possession like first two minutes where there was like 18 passes but nobody got

Open somehow ball was popping man but ball was popping early it was fun yogish to AG connection was on point tonight especially in that first quarter there were so many plays where it was a yic to AG yic 64 and six in the first in his

First in halfway to a triple double 2828 nuggets though not getting any stops kind of back and forth game Murray got his second foul nuggets challenged it and overruled the Nuggets won that challenge then DeAndre Jordan got three and he was Furious you guys uh harbinger

Of things to come a harbinger of things to come I’m not going to we’re I got a note on this we’ll Circle back to you here in a little bit uh it was El legal screening you know some of the boxing out fouls you know there was these weird

Ones man I don’t know what it was what it was Christian Brown pton Watson can’t finish they had so many like yolks out there so he has to come back early and he kept dropping dimes to those guys none of them could finish layups are

Tough for those two two on joic two on Murray then three on joic like there was so many calls three on Turner three on Matan three every three on I liver like everybody was getting three and I was like come on guys quit calling fouls um

I again I don’t know want to say anything about the referees or anything I will maybe we’ll get to it here try uh almost a fourth foul on yic because they called an offensive foul and Turner and the Pacers very smartly challenged you know how when a guy has three and

Everybody knows it ref you got to earn the fourth one well Pacers were like let’s just challenge it cuz if you Challen a ref will give you a leeway but if you challenge it you can’t give a leeway on it you know the Pacers very smart to be like we’ll challenge it but

They lost and thank God cuz it was a call that I don’t think you should have called the foul but on replay it’s like you never know what’s going to happen uh Aaron Gordon goes to Center you think the nuggets are going to collapse without yic for 6 minutes nope they go

On a nice little run actually without yic very good job however in the final 60 seconds of the half it’s like a 80 run nuggets coughed it all back up going into the half and it’s 6057 nuggets third quarter Malone rage timeout 88 seconds into the quarter you guys

Remember that yes and how did the Nuggets respond Murray turned it over right immediately and they got a fast break three tie game Malone rage time out he has to learn rage timeouts these guys are like rage timeout the bench don’t rage time out the starters they’re

Adults they’ve been there they want to Championship uh nuggets were getting killed on the boards 13 offensive rebounds to one at this point in the third quarter Bruce EB five offensive rebounds five times the re offensive rebounds is the entire nuggets but the Nuggets got serious for a minute retook

The lead eight-point lead nuggets struggled at the end of the fourth quarter or in the third quarter but in the fourth quarter they built it up DeAndre Jordan gets a tech Furious because on an offensive foul he got one and then on the next play Aaron Gordon

Gets one boxing out guy and I’m just going to go ahead and say it you guys I’m going to go ahead and say it uh it was a very short ref who called a lot of fouls against all the tall guys illegal screens illegal box out did you think

Did you think there fouls did you think those for fouls vote uh I’ll just I’ll just say that from my perspective they looked different than from R’s perspective oh my gosh this guy was calling everything on big screens box outs it doesn’t matter just being too tall it’s like

DeAndre this is one Tech 7t tall tell the TRU if I was a referee I would be extremely partial to Tiny Kings would be extremely partial this guy very short calling a lot of fouls Scotty very short anyway nuggets pull away in the fourth quarter and completely dominate down the

Stretch not that much tension in the fourth quarters the Nuggets they buckle down all right Dev what’s your big takeaway I do think it’s crazy that you had to spend so much time on the refs because that was crazy that was wild that you get

Two calls a game and they lost both of them and I feel like it’s a ref versus everything else thing your job is to call the game and I don’t understand why you can’t call the game that’s not my takeaway but I just had even Miles

Turner had fouls in this game like it was I’m telling you instead of ref you suck it should be ref your short all I’m going to draw the line there that’s too much that’s too much that feels hateful was a very short ref Calling All The Bigs for fouls it was so

Dumb I mean I was TJ McConnell out there getting any calls two time MVP two time MVP and here comes I see a lot of did that did it but my real big takeaway of this game is I said going into this game that this is a game

That your starters get right this was like the perfect spot for the starters because I mean Jamal got to get his shots up he got to take the most shots in the game also got other people involved but he got to score kyp had himself a a good game very efficient

Play good defense um Aaron Gordon dominated and then Michael Porter Jr has the best shooting game of his you know of the year right now like I think that that was the perfect spot and that’s what you do against these Pacers is his narrative weak you start it out right

And you keep it going that’s my big takeaway I like it man two in a row where the nuggets have at least the starters have looked very good what else it’s exactly right like the the Denver Nuggets are back on track the Denver Nuggets look like the Denver Nuggets the

Denver Nuggets I mean it was light work like this was another extremely hot team coming into ball Arena obviously they’re missing uh their main star with Tyrese Halbert and being out but they didn’t like they didn’t score nearly the amount that they normally do the Nuggets were

Just able to I mean they were fully in control of that game the entire time it was it was beautiful like I never for a second thought they were going to lose um joic was joic Gordon was Gordon Murray was Murray and I don’t another guy was another guy I won’t even talk

About him we’ll let vote cook on that one but uh it was it was great to see man they’re locking in Aaron Gordon with 20 well I mentioned Gordon yeah yeah you talking about kcp uh he was really good tonight yeah they were good y must have

Been kcp both well I’ll start where everyone thinks everybody hold on hold on everybody turn the volume down a little bit I’ll start where everyone thinks I’m going to start Bruce Brown what a Hooper really I think we’ve kind of flirted a little bit with like how

Important was he to their regular season success the playoff run we know the regular season success can they recreate it this year I’m going to go with no they haven’t it’d be nice to have them I do still stand by how excited I am about where Christian and Payton can go and

This bench group in the playoffs but let’s not kid ourselves Bruce Brown Cooper you know who else is a Hooper fellas who’s that niik Leo Michael Porter Jr what and he tied a career high with five assists tonight second time he’s done that this season I think he’s

Been moving the ball much better this season he was really efficient he was 9 of 15 seven of 11 from three he didn’t have any assists though did he no he had five five assist and eight rebounds and three stocks guys three stocks a steal

And two that’s a hell of a stat line I haven’t looked this up it just feels right Porter had that great Breakout game against Indiana like years ago and ever since then I’ve just decided this is a good matchup no clue if that’s true but tonight it played out I think when

Porter there was a good combination tonight of the Nuggets keeping an effort to keep Porter involved and Porter keeping an effort making an effort to keep Porter involved he got himself open he kind of demanded the ball at T he wanted the ball he was very vocal about

Wanting it almost upset when he didn’t get it um was really had a lot of energy when he was away from the ball when he was defending when he was rebounding it I tonight all three of those guys my last big takeaway was that it was the best shot distribution and

Balance we’d seen yet from those three well tonight all three of them finished with 25 points that’s even better so we’ve got a new best uh and I I just the Twan game being overring on it is not a sin because it won you a title it’s a

Great Baseline but I do think that there is a version of this team that includes a more balanced effort from these three guys and tonight we saw it and tonight they looked very difficult to beat yeah um the Nugget starters were phenomenal tonight bench not necessarily so much

But the Nugget starters were incredible and if you told me I’m going to piggy back on yours a slightly different point 25 points for joic with a triple double all somore double triple dubish the triple dubish he was very close to a perfect game 25 Point triple double was

What did they say about LeBron 277 and 7 was like the LeBron and he actually never got it 25 12 and 10 is probably the Yoke that’s like the that’s like a standard yic game he was almost right there Jamal Murray going for 25 points on 18 shots that’s very good he had

Eight assists as well and then Michael Porter 25 8 and five and then you go to Aaron Gordon who had 20 and 10 double double with 20 and then you go to kcp who had 11 on three of four shooting just efficient that’s the perfect breakdown of scoring if you were to draw

Up like a perfect Nuggets game look like those are the numbers and the fact that we don’t have just one but two yes the Utah game was bad the Orlando game was bad they were coming off of a little bit of a low point if you will I hope that’s

The low point of the Season cuz it wasn’t that low it was just a little low and from that moment on I just felt like the nuggets have played the right way and the guy who I think is most important to that is Jamal Murray Jamal had five turnovers tonight it wasn’t a

Perfectly played game from him but the last two I just feel like he has been attempting to do the right thing with no ulterior motives or agendas it was like nope he went out there and scored when he needed to score led the second unit when he needed to lead the second unit

And got the ball where it needed to go the rest of the time and to me that’s say so much of this just comes down to Murray the team seems to find the Rhythm when he is when he seems to be focused on the right things two games in a row

Now that he has nuggets look like the best team in the world I mean he’s such a a important piece to the team not only because he’s the point guard but because of how gifted he is he can score in so many different ways he shoots the three

Ball well finishes around the rim he has that turnaround patented um turnaround that he knocks it down and he has like he has a bag where he can get into and score but also it’s very important to make sure that everyone else stays involved that everyone else feels like

They can eat too and that’s been the biggest difference in these last two games he has scored but everyone else is eight too and that’s where you find that balance he had eight assists in this game last game he had nine assists but he also was able to score the the ball

Too so it’s like hey you can get your own but also make sure everybody else is happy and then you’re seeing that it comes back to him you’re not you know upset you’re running hard on place you you know that you’re going to you know

Get the ball so it’s the balance in the last two games we’re also seeing a balance of everybody’s rebounding everybody has assists the ball is popping around where it’s just okay everyone is involved I feel like when it gets herob ball then you’re going take bad shots here and there um you don’t

Know when you’re going to get it again so you’re just forcing shots up and things like that so I think he’s done a great job of like hey I’m trying to find the middle yeah even shot distribution dline because it’s not just the points that I said but 18 for Murray he still

Got the most shots but 15 for mpj 13 for Yol 10 for AG four for for kcp it just it just feels like the right Rhythm to that coup the starters tonight kind of dominated I mean plus 18 for AG 13 for mpj 10 for Yol they did I as I was

Riding back in uh dev’s super cool car that wasn’t the bus um I was thinking I was like who had a good game it’s like nobody stood out in the right way like it it wasn’t like I I I mean like because everybody’s like the tide Rose

And all three of like all three and I would even say four players had such a good game it was like it just was such I don’t know it was such light work for the Denver Nuggets it was it it just felt like they were playing in a way

There was no herob ball as as St astutely points out it just like they just found the right shot yeah they did the right thing it’s just so effortless and you love it like a game like it’s just like so fun it’s like so fun to

Watch a game like this I want I just want to disagree with you on one thing cuz I do think one player had a great game I think there’s one guy that was actually a phenomenal game and it’s Michael Porter and I want to get to him

On the other side and go in depth because to me Michael Porter has had more more spectacular Gam than he had tonight but I’m not sure he’s had better all around games than what he had tonight so I want to get to that on the

Other side did you want to put a button before we get to mpj yeah just just a button on the point you’re all making field goal percentages for the starters tonight 60% for Porter 70 for AG 92 for Yen y’s hilarious you guys y’s numbers the last one he didn’t missed one again

A sore Shuffle the only one he missed and 75% for kcp and then your leading shot taker Jamal Murray 61% so yeah say the starters had a decent time scoring I’m telling you I’m feeling good about my take that yol’s going to have two perfect triple doubles this year we got

One in the first half of the season I perfect s devil I’m actually you know what I’m worried about honest to God if you told me I could change my vote now to be one perfect triple devil which you already has or more than two I might go

More than two at this moment I kind of like over there I’m not trying to I’m just saying if you gave me a chance to change it this dude’s not missing shots before before we go to break though our takeover was tonight can you share some

Photos kale that I they say your way from the Takeover how was the Takeover tonight fellas uh look at the homies man who’s screaming at the top of their he’s actually screaming at me sit down D sit down uh what else we got oh my goodness

Sing that instead of doing the re will you please start doing that um all right guys back here you’re done right I am back here um let’s talk about Michael Porter because he goes seven of 11 yeah he did from three tonight which is one like we

He finally shot the way I expected 71 and you’re like finally here’s the thing about Michael Porter four four of 10 and we’re all disappointed like man he was on night it’s like actually a really good percentage seven of 11 and I’m like he didn’t miss yeah I

Know about the four he did Miss like those were close too like this is the game that VOD has been talking about for every game but like this was it this was this was the porter game this but then you have the eight rebounds then you have five assists you guys five assists

From PJ one steal two blocks and he just did everything and honestly I’ve been talking about the Michael Jordan uh Michael Porter jump shot pass to yoke and then cut they had one tonight that yoke effed up I know cuz he actually didn’t instead of cut he flared he

Popped cuz it was the right space and then yoke missed it and then yoke looked like he was pissed at him and I was kind of like I don’t know yoke I think you got to work on a little two man maybe a good read from Porter but Porter to

Night man making so many great plays um fitting in I it’s funny watching Mike because I honestly most games I’m more mad at shots he passes up than shots he takes almost every single night and tonight is no different but there is a wisdom in it because while he probably

Could have had 30 tonight his so aggressive willingness to fit in and do all the other stuff is like nights like tonight it just pays off to where you’re you’re like man this guy’s so such a full player you know yeah I mean there was a there was a timeline where he’s

Just a taller Jordan pool right where you’re like I hope he gives us 30 and if he doesn’t we’re closing with ro Brown tonight all right but it’s different I think Porter’s done so much work to raise the floor he is a I think some people will

Give me crap for this he’s a sneaky consistent player man he doesn’t consistently score 30 points but he is consistently doing something that contributes to winning and you know you pointed it out 7-Eleven and we’re all like oh finally he shoots that well you P people feel like Porter should shoot

That well because he’s wide open so often Porter’s open so often not because he’s an afterthought because he’s very very very good at moving off ball at relocating at finding space and finding shots and tonight was a great example of him doing the work off ball not to just

Fade into the corner with a hand up and wait uh as the ball moved he moved as guys moved he was setting screens he was telling guys where to be so I just thought he looked healthy he he read the floor well tonight he moved off ball

Well tonight and it was a good Synergy between him in the team of making sure that it wasn’t a 10-point porter quarter it was a well-rounded Porter game I’m glad that you talked about like the movement off ball because this was a game that I felt like he was always open

Like he had a lot of no one else is around you know this is about to go in and that is because he’s like so involved so much part of the offense right now and not in these small spurts like you alluded to um he’s he’s trying

To put it together for the full game or he’s getting rewarded by more minutes um he’s doing the little things grabbing boards um you know protecting the rim now that’s added but we’re two blocks um the Steals and just playing it on on on both ends of the floor where it’s hard

To keep him off of the floor you don’t forget about him out there it’s very loud his plays um that’s a part of being a part of offense and then also he feels confident to bring the ball up he’s like turning people down he’s like no I I got

This this is a mismatch I’m going to score now and you love to see that because now it’s just another person that you have to focus on if Michael Porter J Jamal Murray and yit are able to just score when they want to what can

You do with them you have to just say we’re going to give kcp open shots well he’s knocking that down we’re going to let Aaron Gordon like just continue to roll to the rim well he’s going to dunk that it just it it makes them scary

Scary so like I I I hope that he continues to put it together like his his consistency is standing out right now do you guys feel like we talked about him moving better but I honestly but I but I also feel like right now now

And there’s a limit to this so I don’t want to overstate it but for Porter I think we’ve seen Improvement in now he’s reading the floor there are a lot of mistakes still but I I think we’ve got we’ve seen a guy who’s kind of like

Figured out a little bit what he can do if option A didn’t work out yeah as opposed to just one cut and now I stand um he’s thinking out there man and and I just Donnie puts it in there he’s a plus 33 this season I haven’t fact that oh my

God sounds right because good things happen when he’s playing hard it uh yeah I think he’s just like more comfortable in his skin like I don’t think he’s trying to like prove himself as much anymore and the game like the Nuggets sort of in general there’s a lot

Of guys that are just allowing the game to come to them and like what better way to approach a basketball game when you have nikic uh running that offense it just everything works so seamlessly if nobody’s forcing it like the the times we’ve seen things go badly is when Jamal

Was forcing it like right right Porter sometime forcing it this is there was just such a smooth like it was just a smooth wheel it was just operating without any um you know like uh there was just no what’s word I’m looking for no resistance uh and Michael Porter’s a big

Part of that it’s beautiful beautiful this the sixth game of his career that he has had uh five assists by the way second time this year he had one in the playoffs of course last year so I just feel like to your point he is a little

Bit better as a playmaker and just making some plays but a lot of this is I don’t feel like there’s many any games that I could point to where I’m like Porter was too aggressive tonight right I think there’s handful of games I could point to and I wish he was more

Aggressive but that’s almost better it’s like hey you know you’re doing all right it’s almost never if never Michael Porter’s fault that the Nuggets aren’t in a rhythm you know for offensively so I think that’s a really big one Aaron Gordon he’s too big for this matchup he

Went seven of 10 it’s funny that Aaron Gordon is the piece of the Nuggets that is like if you don’t have the guy it doesn’t matter I actually think Denver’s bench tonight was really bad and dangerous like they deor doesn’t win a lot of games when the bench gives you 11 points

Total and that was only two guys that scored Reggie had nine there were two points between Christian DeAndre one drive by Christian yeah and it was a drive Yeah by Christian that was it other than that no points usually Denver’s not scoring great off of those

But tonight it was kind of not close because of that starting five and how they played na AG 20 and 10 plus 18 too big man he’s way too big and that’s against a team where the Pacers like have two sinners like on the court you know like but they’re just they’re not

As active as him and he also just he’s part of the offense he knows exactly where to be and that lob is back where he’s just going to dunk it every single time or he’s just going to finish it around um he also is just he he’s so big

He’s knocking people over to the rim and and either you’re going to foul him or or he’s going to finish I mean and that that’s a great part of the offense but he’s just in a groove right now where he just looks in itic he looks like he’s

Ready to play he’s putting things back and he’s not even a part of the offense while being a part of the offense he doesn’t care if he scores a bunch he’s going to get it in different ways he’s getting putbacks he’s um you know tips um everything else but also he he’s just

In a Groove yeah yeah he’s play dude he’s playing such aggressive like such strong bully ball right now where he’s just like getting it he’s jumping in nobody’s going to stop him he’s going up he’s either going to score or get a foul it’s he’s playing so confidently and

You’re right like a match up like this where he can just eat it is wild that they have two centers but they really have none one of them offers no resistance nikic the other offers no resistance to Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon can play the five for extended periods

Of time and if DeAndre Jordan gets ejected it’s like fine it’s no big deal um it’s true it’s like no big deal at all actually um Al pretty hilarious it it was hilarious and it sucked but uh DeAndre never gets that riled up no dude

He’s like the peace and love guy on the bench he just knew man he knew that they needed it no no he just knew short ref out here I me better if we just go small every short is ref I mean every ref is short pulled one for the team tonight

He’s like we need short out there dude he’s like where’s picket where’s Colin get these guys just just like quickly we touch on it like the Nuggets were so mad at the ref tonight Michael Malone Malone was apoplectic he was beside himself I hate talking about the

Refs I Tred we try like we don’t on the show talk about rest too often I feel like we have a lot this year cuz there’s a lot of just like really ridic like Over the Top If the Nuggets want to sign me to a 10day I will make life very

Annoying for Joel embiid I’ll slap the [ __ ] out of him and they’ll have have no idea as I just ha man one of the fouls tonight on yoke was uh the Turner doing this thing where he goes with his arms like that and I was just

Like yoke didn’t even reach for it yoke just played regular defense didn’t even reach in the cookie jar and they still got it and I was just like oh all the players have learned how dumb the rules are and now Miles Turner is doing a little like one of these literally

Jumping into your Defender constitutes a foul like oh which is why I always felt that I did not have to hand it to James Harden like oh he figured it out I’m like yeah he figured out how stupid it is yeah yeah totally has you got to hand

It to him no you do not no I circumstances you have to hand it to him um let’s talk about yok you guys one of my favorite Pas times he miss miss the sore Shuffle tonight son of a biscuit and that’s it everything and he had seven turnovers he did have some

Turnovers I that’s what they do the Nuggets had 21 turnovers tonight the bench scored no points and they had 21 turnovers still have the win that means they lost right usually that means they lost but instead yoke tonight 25 12 and n and 12 of 13 shooting the only shot he

Missed was the grenade he was handed and he usually hits the somore and he wasn’t even close tonight like hard off the right Rim it was pretty ugly but 12 of 13 he is now 85 of his last 105 shots over nine games that’s insane potentially stupid

He’s the first player in NBA history to shoot 80% or better in a AME span with a minimum of 100 attempts suck it Wilt the very best part of this is that it’s a month removed from him having the least efficient two game stretch in NBA history yeah two games we were all

Freaking out about GES honestly if you think about it what is right that two games is going to cost him the MVP in the first half of the Season people are like people think he’s having this down year he’s on and then he’s just put up nine straight games where he’s missed

One shot a game what a game it’s like a SBO double in a different way he’s just make he just misses one shot I know it’s not that he’s off by one but really like he looks incredible right now like it to to even say that his touch is off he’s he’s

Making everything and it’s like the level of difficulty like when other guys do this type of stuff it’s just straight dunks like the entire time I think about like Andre Drummond don’t do it we just estblished that his is like yeah they don’t do that his is three-pointers you know he’s

Doing the floater every single time like he just does whatever he wants like he’s incredible in that and also he has made it to where you really are kind of [ __ ] if you decide to just go one-on-one with him if you don’t double him then you’re getting punished but if

You double him you’re you’re definitely getting punished he he makes it so that there’s nothing that you can do with him um I just feel like every sing single time that he touches it something great going to happen here not yet it’s easy for him right now very easy he said

Basketball’s easy we believe him nothing makes me happier than when the other team decides to make yic a scorer the best nights ever when they’re like I know part of me is always like good luck dude you know and to I love ad don’t when I were joking about this cuz

I think um our guy Nick took a great still photo of yoke shooting a floater basketball has lent itself to some of the most a aesthetically pleasing athletes and skill sets that we’ve ever seen in sport and perhaps the most devastating shot to exist is the most

Awkward man you’ve ever seen flat footed just kind of truly incredible that’s basketball you know I just wonder how long this run can go I almost wonder if yoke he came out aggressive he was trying to score a lot then he had a little mini run and I do wonder if he

Was like Back to Basics let’s just make every shot jump hooks you like well if you think about it though it’s all the same shot right it’s his floater it’s his jump hook and then it’s the set jumper that he does every now and then and a somore here or there and almost

Nothing else to his game and I just wonder if it was like Back to Basics and it turns out when he’s Back to Basics he shoots 95% right which is pretty pretty good all right let’s take a break on the other side that bus should be arriving

To find out when Batman was on this there’s the bus oh boy it’s about to turn up several degrees in here it is about it actually is pretty warm up here anyway real quickly before they get here though we should talk about Bruce E B I

Got to be honest man absence I loved Bruce EB when he was here loved him big fan man he was awesome goes away we have our own pton Watson Chris you know it’s different year you’re kind of having fun with it seeing him tonight miss him even more we miss

You Bruce miss him even more man Bruce is the best he went to the freaking Stock Show last night which I just love uh he’s like the number he’s he is the number one Pander King and again we’ll say this again we’ll say this again anybody who wants the Pander to us we

Will accept it not come to the dmvr bar though I hate Dam I hate first too no I love you watch him tonight he’s grabbing all the offensive rebounds he’s hitting threes he’s just mixing it up the ceremony you know everybody kind of just you could tell how much the team

Loves him and they’re giving him yol’s massaging his shoulders while he gets his ring and just see him Bruce tonight oh man there’s the bus the bus lot of woooo Woos uh real quickly Brucey B I mean I’ve been in a relationship before and this is the one that got away this

Is The One That Got Away everybody loves Bruce I’m looking at a picture right right now my Micha Malone was no no yeah Bruce um Michael Malone was so happy to see him and every single player was happy to see him there was not a single player that did not go over and

Show love and that that is being a teammate that’s being a friend and that was only in one year everybody was excited to a big year the crowd who was a big year a big year that’s true but the crowd went crazy like when when he

Came out like he had a great game nobody was mad about the great it was like a win win for everyone that he’s knocking down shots and doing all these things like I remember those things Jeff Green had a big game I was Furious you’re mad about it there’s something inside of you

But like that’s just that’s the Bruce Brown experience um and you when he made those shots you missed that you’re like oh like really that that’s something that we felt so many times last year so that that was great I feel like Bruce was sneaky happy too he’s like I played

Well and my favorite team won I’ll see I’ll see you guys at view house later tonight let’s go it is wild because yeah vote talked about this earlier like you know this entire season it’s been us just compensating Talking to Ourselves up like hey it’s fine we got Patt we got

Christian we got like Julian STW it’s fine like we can Cobble together like some semblance of Bruce and then Bruce plays and you’re like God damn it miss it so much that would be dope um so it was pretty cool to see him all right do

You want to go try to Wrangle up D’s going to hand them out of here he’s going to try to Wrangle up some of the party busers to hop the show make sure you only get the drunkest people um but I love Brucey B man I thought it was

Great to see him again and to and to go the bench I will say real quickly the only negatives pwat and Christian Brown those guys man I’m worried about their offensive finishing and pwat has been better tonight he wasn’t but he had been better with his finishing a little

Bit Christian and Pat together though man there’s so many possessions where you’re just like I have no confidence in this cut to the basket mildly contested just got to finish it a mild contest on brown right now I’m like no hope see p it feels a little more like a puppy you

Know what I mean that does a lot right but still kind of does its own thing sometimes and you’re like we’ll work on that you know what I mean you’re going to grow out of that um I don’t I don’t want to bring this hammer down too hard yeah it does feel

Like the book is out on Christian he doesn’t have a lot of moves and even just in transition there’s the Euro Step but even that doesn’t really cover a lot of ground he kind of just goes straight up and tries to go through you with the

Layups and it’s it’s a little wild and Reckless um I I I’m really bracing my I’m trying to recalibrate my expectations for Christian as a guy who I do think so you’re like starting to think he’s worse than you thought on offense it’s not that he’s worse than he

Thought it’s that year two you start using words like progression and Improvement and you expect to see big leaps and I guess guess I just don’t know if we’re ever going to see a monster leap from Christian offensively yeah with Christian it just feels like he’s playing with so much pressure that

He just he doesn’t want to step out and make any mistakes so like he’s just trying to blend in and that’s not the type of player that he is and that’s not the type of player that you can have coming off of the bench you have to be

Impactful when you’re out there so that means you got to take chances he doesn’t take any chances and that’s on offense or defense um the defense was so great because he was he was loud when he was making these type of plays and we haven’t seen those type of plays and

Then on offense he’s just trying to shoot he’s just trying to score so that it doesn’t look like he’s having bad games and I think that that’s just on his mind a bit too much um I don’t think that it’s just only the offense uh for

Him he just doesn’t look good because he does not look confident at all um Payton Watson sometimes he’s going to have bad games he’s a young player I mean they’re both young players but like you you know that he has these standout type of games offense and defense this was not a game

That called for him to do too much um you need them to play well against the good teams like where you need your your starters to play a little bit better where you need your your starters to to step up they didn’t have to step up

Because they were up you know this was a up game for them um and that’s where the like the difference has to come so you just want it to start somewhere with Christian I think he needs to focus on one thing and then that be a thing and

Then move on from there but I feel like he’s just trying to do everything all at once not going to find a group like that I that you brought up confidence cuz I actually think that’s the biggest thing for him in there too yeah what’s that is confidence yeah like he doesn’t look

Confidence and I’ll tell you this another part he you shouldn’t be looking over your shoulder as a young guy like Michael Malone always talks about the best thing I can give these guys is confidence I kind of feel like Malone needs to give Christian confidence I don’t know if he has confidence in

Christian and I feel like Malone needs to be as he looks at the first half of the Season we’re right at that halfway point 41 games take a break now and look forward and say my next like 20 games I just got to instill confidence in him

And what things can I do cuz I almost feel like Malone’s not that confident in him at the moment I feel the same way I love that you guys brought this up in the chat it’s kind of the opposite of where peat’s at right like peat’s gotten to see himself succeed in important

Moments so many times in a row now where he he he’s cleared a corner where like if he goes over for seven he’s still going to take the shot the next night I almost think this year Christian’s been in the opposite cycle with confidence and and maybe maybe this would probably come

At the expense of Mike so I almost regret saying it maybe it’s as simple as like Christian gets to close in the fourth with the starters one night right he’s done that for pton a couple times Payton’s taken advantage of it to be clear that’s how you know your coaches

Has confidence in right but maybe maybe it’s that maybe it’s all right Christian’s had a good game tonight let’s let him run with the starters to close this one and let him see himself succeed because obviously Christian Brown can succeed eded in NBA rotation he did it for the Champions just last

Year um all right it’s that time we had a take over today so we’re going to bring some homies on dev oh I hate to leave see you Dev all right who’s our first victims who’s the first people want to hop on we could take two we could take two we got

One who else we got one more want to hop on the show we got on here what’s happening Brother introduce yourself to the chat bring it in close here you know what you’re doing look at this look how close I get nice and inate all right there we go all

Right we got Sean yeah introduce yourself to the chat here my name is Greg how was the take over today takeover was a blast that was it was awesome super cold outside but it was a blast you didn’t have to walk that far oh no we we’re good but all righty um so

Tell me man you guys know the deal you come in here you got to be prepared with some takes let’s just start with this game what did you think of the game I thought the starters were performed out of the world four four starters with 20 plus points that’s that’s super awesome

How often that doesn’t happen often I didn’t see any stats there but four players and 20 points I was going to look up when’s the last time or how many times have Mike yoke and Maul had the same amount of points you were going to

Look that up well I didn’t know how to so I st I immedi you that up I started to Google it I’m like that doesn’t work CH GPT like no luck here no starters were incredible tonight um what do you think well I totally agree with the

Triple 25 and the 20 with Gordon I was but I was shocked that was it did pton Watson end up with zero points yeah the bench is a whole like Reggie had nine Christian had two that was it that’s your bench points can can I ask you guys

To what extent the bench worries you versus frustrates you because last year they had a bad bench and they won so I think it’s more frustrating to be honest the scoring could be out of this world or be non-existent like it was tonight so you got to get this is a game where

Shows you with Miss Bruce Brown and Jeff Green for sure this is big for sure big tow some veterans we need we need some veterans what about Micha what about Michael Porter did he stand out to you guys tonight oh yeah dude what the five threes seven threes seven threes seven

Of 11 from three that dude that was a good that good shooting performance but’s been shooting good all month long but this this was definitely stood out Stand Out game for three-point line yeah mhm what kind of Beanie do you got there oh the Champions I see it yeah this my

Brand new brand new I I went I was hoping to get a kcp jersey really at the arena they for whatever reason they weren’t carrying him they’re not carrying kcp I don’t know what’s up with that but I I I got this I’m not a cap guy so when they had the Championship

Caps I wasn’t going for it so I got my beanie and I’m really happy all right you guys know the deal we got to get a hot take from you so give me your hot take Sean oh four starters with 20 plus points that’s my hot take of the night

That’s not a hot take his was literally the stat tonight come on there’s no zero second chance we need a take yeah give us a tap not even mild just give us something you don’t have to really believe it although it’s cool if you do oh the mpj mpj going off

For a hot shooting night hot take it’s not even a t give give us a all right you know what a prediction like something you believe about the Nuggets you got this show them how it is show them how it is tell them how a good

Spicy take give us give us a spicy one unprepared I can’t believe it R timeout so the nuggets are are on their run right now they’re they’re this road trip that they’re going to go on they’re going to be undefeated they’re going to win all five yeah yeah that’s a and

That’s a hot T now we got a hot up at all do you have another you want to take I’ll take I’ll jump on his bandwagon I’ll jump on his bandwagon fellas thanks so cyle through before we cycle through go cut to the one shot

With me and our two shot over here let’s go to Harrison live from the arena here was here and then he left he saw the guys on and was like F this man I’m going hey see you fellas thank you all right let’s hop a couple more on can we

Get the guy in the Slovenia Jers I’m telling you I’m telling you I’m telling you that bro listen don’t ruin it don’t ruin it do we have wind or no let me see what’s going on here wind just wrote me all right fellas I’m I’m going start it off uh what were your

Biggest takeaways tonight great night from the starters Brucey be in the house what’s it out to you man it was emotional seeing Brucey be right away it was like it was special cuz start off with Jeff Green first is but now you everybody’s waiting for boo to be

Everybody had to be over there every dude I was balling I couldn’t I was crying my ass off that’s tonight like I was I did miss it man more I think I missed it more tonight than I had at any other point this year just seeing him

And then he was like hustling that’s what I’m saying yeah um tell us about this jersey man I got look at this close up K close up Shi here from Slovenia try to find this online I dare you you can’t you can’t I promise you

Chat go look you won’t find it it’s a really cool looking Jersey too got the Jordan blue and aqua I like it all right to be honest that’s repping blacko at his Peak as much as I love is as I black that’s my saddest part of the

Season he’s not playing at all I know man I was really sad I was like we would be undefeated if we had him that’s a good that’s a hot take all right let’s go to Harrison wi who is live at ball Arena let’s cut to him

Here there he is he was in the house tonight for what is up wind uh walk us through man what was it like being there for ring night for Brucey B it was cool man it’s been cool when all these guys have come and gotten rings and you know somebody’s presenting

Them the ring at midcourt and all of a sudden the whole team’s around them jumping around and stuff I can’t remember any other team doing that for ring Knight you know the Warriors don’t do that on ring Knight like recent Champions they don’t have that kind of

Dog pile at midcourt when a ex players get in a ring I think it’s kind of something that speaks to the Nuggets culture and just how different this organization is from a lot of other teams out there I think it’s pretty cool how connected uh even last year’s team still

Is well if you remember when Aaron Gordon was bit by that dog and missed some games he was talking about like how what just the sentence it’s accurate you didn’t say anything wrong don’t trying to be funny when he miss those games I don’t think you were trying to

Be one of the things he said is he was like man I just missed being with my guys I had to get back out there because I just miss being around the guys and I think it’s true like they’re having fun and they enjoy each other and it’s like

You know you you almost feel bad for missing unlike let’s say I don’t know Andrew Wiggins who’s gone for three months last we year didn’t give didn’t care didn’t seem to care all right take us in the locker room I think there’s a fire alarm going

Off right now so I don’t know how much time I have you if you can see there’s a a ring of blinking right lights around me right now Michael Porter was on fire tonight he was on fire and I mean that was the biggest theme of the uh postgame

Pressers just now Michael Malone kind of went off about how impressed he is with Michael Porter’s season and just what he’s been able to do after the medical stuff he’s been through know he talked about the brace he still wears and you know Michael Porter I believe is the

Only nugget starter who hasn’t missed the game this season only player baby been just incredibly durable and um it’s been impressive man it’s it’s been really impressive and tonight he obviously turns in probably his best game of the season uh his shot was working he had five assists which tied a

Regular season career high for him and Michael Malone said that um what he’s doing from a medical standpoint has never been done before thank you and what Michael Porter’s doing has just uh been so incredible so that was the main theme of what Malone had to say just

Kind of loving you know what Michael Porter did tonight and what he’s done this season yeah same same Harrison and he also just loved the defensive effort that you know Denver put forward tonight holding the Pacers to 109 points that’s a big accomplishment man I mean this is a team

That puts up 120 130 every single night and Indiana also only had seven fast break points in this game that was a big point of emphasis heading into today and that was a huge accomplishment for the Nuggets to hold them to just seven fast break points uh but Michael Mone was not

Happy about the turnovers in this one I mean of course I think Den finish with 20 turnovers they just did not take care of the ball um that is what he wants this team to clean up heading into a road trip which kind of Might Define the first you know two-thirds of this

Season this road trip yeah or a turnover yeah I I mean this turn this road trip really is going to be one that lingers for us for a long time with the games that you’re playing the Knicks the the 76ers the uh Celtics you win those games

That’s going to linger like through low points and high points you’re just going to be like yeah but remember when we went on the road and smack those teams conversely if you lose those ones you’re just going to be sticking in you’re like all right well we haven’t proved it at

That level so it’d be nice to do I’m glad it’s and then we talked with uh and then we talked with Jamal Murray as well and um you know he just shouted out the allaround team performance tonight offensively I mean Denver had four 20po scores tonight they had three 25 Point

Scores and the efficiency that you know the Nuggets played with offensively tonight was crazy they shot 65% from the floor 50% from three if it wasn’t from the turnovers they might have had 130 140 like maybe 150 points tonight um so Jamal was just talking about that how

How happy he was with just the well-rounded offensive effort and um you guys good yeah I like that he was in a good mood then huh I’m questioning his math on that but it’s a good note it’s a good note well that was just me um oh

That’s what I thought they could have had they had 21 turnovers tonight um and then you know the defense Jamal was talking about that as well he said I get guarded by a lot of the toughest guys out there I just try to put that en energy into my defensive game and

Um I think the joke in the locker room if I heard this correctly is they’re calling kcp first team Payton Watson second team Jamal Murray third team it’s a great one dude it’s a great one even though there’s no third Team all defense that actually is great I do

Think this team Harrison to me has a lot of Personality as compared to some of the Nugget teams in the past yeah I’d agree uh but yeah that’s all I got guys well tell me this last one Bruce Brucey B what was the reception like for him relative to some

Of the other ones you know ish and Jeff the crowd just how did the crowd seem to appreciate CM bruy be get ringed oh it was a great reception as you would have thought he got a standing o it was a really cool moment pregame when they kind of played the you know

Tribute video the compilation of some of Bruce’s great moments from last year Michael Malone walks over to him sitting on the scores table and those two were just watching the video together I thought that was really cool that’s really cool man I love it go say hi to

Bruce E B for us tell dnvr says hi 64 we know it we’ll see we’ll see you later wi all right let’s get back to some hot Tak shall we that was a lot of news a lot of information let’s get back to some crazy you came prepared all right

So I think my hot take is vodka will return this season in the playoffs and he will win us a game V will win us a game innner like the in the finals like the Christian Brown game two months just one game yeah in the finals I’m finding you

We’re getting he’ll be here claiming find you yeah dude this is incredible it’s such this is why when we do takeovers and you come on the show this is what this is an example of a great take I wasn’t on the radar it wasn’t something we were thinking about it’s

Nearly impossible nearly impossible I like the idea though about if you go to the finals that’s an extra two months of and the Aaron Rogers rehab program crystals rub it on your knee there we go blacko chanar playing just even if he doesn’t play well plays 2

Minutes in the finals just for whatever reason would be awesome yeah Willis Reed him walking on the court just for that I would be like it lifts everybody’s spirits and some would say vco is more important to NBA history than will stre was some people would say that a title

Maybe uh Justin what do you got I mean I wish I could give a real like your Tes are always hot man come on if it was really real like three out of five nuggets could be starters in allar but it’s never going to happen cuz Jamal

Yeah can’t do it but we have so much potential I can’t give a real hot take but one one of my first questions to you when I first met you ever was at a Broncos takeover and I asked you was like a Broncos takeover yes I it was me

And you that’s the first time I met you it was a Titans game and you got stung by a bee and all that I remember but I don’t remember any of this I remember this hold on I was at a Broncos I was at a Broncos what tailgate yes tailgate I

Was at a Broncos tailgate and I got stung by a stung by a bee I was like that voice sounds familiar I was like wait that’s locked on that’s [ __ ] Adam sorry you’re good no it’s fine Adam that’s the best part and he’s like got

Stung by a B I was like but I asked him I was like do you think Porter could become like just what we expect and for me everybody expect like you know fire always I was just like just what he is now like support like great role player

Bought in that’s all I really wanted like when I asked him I was like do you think he could be what we expect him to and he could be a Allstar right now over Jamal which Jamal’s only only thing stopping him is his injuries yeah if he

Wasn’t injured for two three weeks we could have three yogic Porter and Gordon Jamal you could be three or four starters the longer this cheek goes the more people he adds I’m just saying man give him 11 minutes [ __ ] J Hof we have that that’s how strong our

Starting five is I remember asking him that and he was like dude I don’t got a real hot take but we can have three out of five starters man in an Allstar uh we’re going to have one so that is a hot a thousand Peppers it’s not happen at

Least two at least two I will say this this is a take I didn’t get to say on the show that I actually meant to take one of the unspoken tragedies of the Nuggets AR is that Michael Porter got hurt in the year that Murray was hurt

Because I would have loved to seen they would have won a title or anything I would have loved a full year of a healthy mpj alongside yoke as the number two guy I just would have loved it again just because at one I think their chemistry would have really gotten well

And two I think it would have developed Porter in a very good way where Porter could have sped up but you watch it in Some Nights the we know what Marie yic is Champions that duo elevates to he but there are nights in the regular season

Where the Murray or the joic mpj duo when they’re on the court it’s like man you could win a lot of games with that Doo and if Murray the year he was heard if mpj was healthy I think Denver might have won like 53 54 wins and you be like

Wow that’s a good Duo and it’s Denver’s secondary Duo so to me it’s a tragedy that we didn’t get to experience that mhm yeah would been awesome I was wishing for that too well just to the point of of what we were talking about earlier with when

Porter gets to play like how much better he gets and the Improvement I just think it’s really easy to overlook how few reps he actually had of non- high school basketball before things started to clim and that year would have gone a really long way and like I I think this is a

Guy who understands basketball much better than he did a year ago and with that lost year you know we could be ahead of schedule so I’m with you I think uh yeah all right let’s keep it moving let’s get some new people in here in the

Hot SE thank you gentlemen you win the night with the Jersey somebody in here had a custom made Bruce brown shirt they came on second but that’s the gold medal of the night brother always good to see you man up my man and the cool jacket

Too by the way we get this ’90s 9s hell yeah James posy jacket oh my gosh who do we have who else is hopping on you got a birthday kit from the vending machine I got you should I open it up right here

Live on the on the show and my guy T my guy Patrick and my guy TK it’s the MJ panel here oh my God this is the MJ piggest Bad my Bo you bad panel Pull It in nice and close like this that’s true there’s a lot of us

There’s a lot of us Adam so I got Patrick here and I got TK over here um first of all TK you were on the party bus you were at the game how was the experience at the game tonight oh it was it was fun it was fun you know what I

Mean uh it was good to see uh them uh follow through play for four quarters and get a win yeah what I love TK you almost sound like we’re hyped and we’re having a good time this with a great game you’re almost like they did what they were supposed to

Do I had fun I had fun you know it was cool it was righteous did your boy the triple double or did he miss that assist the sore double 25 25 25 but see like I saw him trying in the fourth quarter and making some kind of not great passes you think

So don’t you think you didn’t think so at the end of the game chasing a triple double he was stat pading no I didn’t say that he was in the game he was trying to get an assist but like but he wasn’t even I mean he wasn’t trying to like solidly get it

He’s like okay yeah yeah yeah yeah just cuz having a little bit of fun that’s cool but I thought the pass that he didn’t get he threw kind of a crazy one I don’t know what H I think somebody got a finger on or whatever it bounced back

To him and he laid it up so wasn’t even a turnover but that pass would have been so fun I it’s one of those like forgotten highlights where it was this close to being a great one yeah yeah I mean you know I mean uh when they work

You definitely ain’t mad and when they and when they don’t work you’re like okay yeah um we got two Jordan guys on the panel here but I want to go TK will you can we rewind the conversation we had two nights ago when I was rebuking you for calling LeBron James was very

Excited to be on to come here he comes out he was very excited so he like oh TK wants to beet you blah blah we we meet and he starts yelling at me he starts yelling not unheard of you weren’t there I didn’t raise my voice at all he didn’t

Raise his voice but he did like look down at me you know one of a few guys that can actually look down at me actually do it but it was also so tell me what is the uh problem that that you had or not problem question you raised

I’m saying if you want if you’re going to call LeBron James arguably the greatest player of all time which you do repeatedly you need to do that for a bunch of people whenever Jerry West name come up whenever Oscar Robinson’s name come up in the future whenever you ref of

Those people I want to hear you say that would you rather I say that for them or just not say it for LeBron I think I mean since you’ve already done this you should start saying it for everybody okay since I’m too late you should have your list ready

And go through the list each time top we can definitely start saying it for yoke at this point that’s all yeah why not well here’s the thing is what he told me cuz I told him I said look I’m not saying it’s going to happen I’m just saying the realm of possibilities for

Joic is that he ends up the greatest of all time now every day that goes by that window becomes smaller right like it becomes less and less likely that it can happen but he’s got one title say Jordan was 27 won his first title you was 27 first title 28 won his

First title so we’re right on it’s good it’s good the only thing is you know no one can be the greatest player of all time if they don’t want to be you don’t think he oh you know what this is actually good this is actually good he want something different or even more

Definitively the greatest player of all time because you didn’t care that much and still no but see there could be people who will Who will represent that point of view but you’ll always be in in the minority because everybody else be say I want the guy who went for every single

Night not what we want so I actually think there’s something like very poignant about what you’re saying here which is that no I’m serious about yic isn’t trying to be the greatest ever and this is why he has four-point games I actually think what yic is trying to do

Is have the best team ever and I’ve long said that there’s joic who’s the best player of the Nuggets best player of this era in myunity he has the chance to do all that but then you have joic Murray where it’s like the duo stockt to

Him Malone Kobe and Sha of this era is those two but I actually don’t want either of those as much as I want Denver starting five I want it to be looked at as man that starting five like you the warriors death lineup death lineup an alltime lineup you had the ’90s Bulls

The 96 bulls that was an alltime lineup they had I think it’d be cool if the Nuggets were remembered most as their fiveman lineup that was the best Five Guys we’ve ever seen I think that’s what yic wants by the way uh I mean you of

Course none of us actually know what the guy wants but he just I mean he wants to be the best and he wants to win you know what I mean uh I don’t think he cares I don’t think he’s invested in any of the discourse do you think he is no I think

He’s he but the discourse isn’t isn’t the same necessarily of being the greatest version you know I mean I think anyway I think he is I think he is concerned with greatness not discourse but he doesn’t care to play the game like the game is a different

Thing he said we’re chasing ourselves I think he’s chasing himself he’s like how good can good can I be relative to Jordan how good can I be relative to my own potential and if my potential so happens to be the greatest ever play the game should still be it but he’s not

Chasing that he’s chasing himself I actually agree with that also I just want to say before it gets away from me your pants are awesome people love these pants that we end up like double figures over two or three days can I say about Denver fans

Real quick you guys are not fair weather fans if this weekend has taught me anything weather this weather is far from it’s objectively horrible I live in LA I’ve come in and the fact that you had the bus going to the game everybody at the game people at the bar filling up like

True fans true fans seriously it’s it does not feel good outside what dine always says we’re definitively not [ __ ] man there you in the derogatory we’re proud of it definitively real quickly cuz you’re a Jordan guy as well so I just want to ask you you’re a big

Jordan guy true what would you feel if joic did did be I don’t even think it’s on the radar man like yok’s going to be like Tim dun he’s going to win five and nobody even includes him in the top five you know they’re just going to like pass

It over it but how would you feel if it did become the thing like y if anybody was going to Eclipse Jordan or if they were going to be in the conversation with Jordan I would prefer it be yic than anyone else there you go that would

Make you feel the best about it that would make me feel fine about it I would feel fine about that feel pretty good about it I enjoyed Jordan I’m enjoying yic all right let’s give some hot takes here before we get out of here each of

You I’ve tried to prep you if you’re going to come on the show you got to have hot takes so start us off Pat my hot take is uh you remember the Moses Malone fo fo fo yeah my hot take is fo fo fo fo in 2 fo for the repeat if the

The Nuggets sweep in the playoffs for repeat that’s my hot take and I’m not scared I said of course it’s I’m a little drunk I’ve had a lot to drink but I’m not scared uh four do you hear this prediction 4444 here’s the thing you can’t say that it’s

4 no try me I out here that’s still Moses’s thing but I’m just saying it’s a tribute to Moses if you if the Nuggets cuz I don’t like we’re just saying yoke could win seven championships he wouldn’t be in anybody’s top five nuggets they could win five four

Straight title be first team to do it since the Celtics in the 60s and nobody would be like yeah that was the best team they’d be like I don’t know those is a big part but if you went four four four if you f fo fo fo if you went F fo

Fo fo I do wonder if people would be like you know is that the greatest team of all time they do it’s one more great feather in your belt half the take if they won four if they went four four four sweeps my gosh man dude I’m talking to him

Wor I heard your we’ll take this we’re good I’ve aren’t you supposed to open your gift I will open it momentarily TK uh the I mean the one I was telling yall the other day I posed it as a question but I’ll make it as a as as a proper as

A statement uh yish will end up with more finals MVPs than regular season MVPs in his career well he’s got two we talked about he’s got two MVPs you only say four I love I like that true I like that a lot two more titles for sure got two two

MVPs one finals MVP so you think he has two more championships in a minimum for sure minimum but do you think he has another MVP in him uh if he doesn’t get it this year which I don’t necessarily think he will then no oh this last MVP here yeah it’s just

We talking about voting and [ __ ] you end up in certain point you end up in the Giannis Zone and that’s when you get to the finals and his team wins and he’s obviously LED in points rebounds and assists boom you have to give it to him you know what I mean is

Yoke GNA have a bad regular season or is he’s going to be around where he is right now for the next couple years near pigon I mean I think Y is going to end up every season for the next few seasons as one of the very top players if yol’s

Coming off of backto back championships and Shay gilis Alexander’s doing his numbers and embiid’s doing his numbers and yol’s doing these numbers I just think everyone’s going to be like yeah we know one of those numbers means something we don’t know about the other numbers and I think he’d win another MVP

He might get he might get three and so my argument says well if he get three that means he’s getting at least was trying to get he’s getting four you know necessarily F fo four but he getting F you know who he’ll join if he has more

Finals MVPs than MVPs who Michael Jordan Michael Jordan there you go right back there in the goat combo I’m opening up my gift over here kale what did I we have this cool little thing uh what’s it called it came from your vending machine vending machine vending machine yeah you

Know those yeah and it comes with little things I don’t know what this is this was the birthday package I don’t know what’s in it but I got it I love you man boom okay okay inappropriate but I like it king crown oh you put that on right

A blue and orange and a purple Rocky nuggets Broncos no ABS represented in this one smells like campire that blue that blue could be abs get up the king’s crowns R um fellas thanks so much we’re going to get one more on any parting thought I wanted one more quick uh hot

Tech so y’all got a backup point guard y’all been miss y’all been giving him the incorrect name all these well he ain’t been there all these years but like what’s your Bo backup Point guard’s name in your opinion what’s his name Jackson Reggie Jackson is somebody else

Reggie Jackson is a Hall of Fame baseball player so so so so no one more piece I’m almost done so the actor who who’s been Creed one Creed 2 Creed 3 what’s his name call this guy Reggie B Jackson what I’m trying toie B that’s only fair that’s only right

That’s matter really doesn’t matter it’s actually Sean doesn’t matter reckson incredible guest what a performance what an appearance I feel outshined what an absolute appearance I can’t believe I’m getting replaced by okay but I’m fine with that obviously all right we have one more one more pair

Two more come come who’s coming on who’s coming on don’t be shy come come hurry your booty over here now we got our last two last two have a SE pull it up nice and close about that close see how close I got this guy right here uh introduce

Yourself hello everybody uh my name is Joe Spence Joe Joe Spence yeah I grew up in Fort Collins is that Joe Comm Spence Spence Joe hello everybody my name is Anthony or also grew up in Fort Collins all right we got a couple foto in here you guys

Fun uh I went to Montana State but when it comes down to it I cheer for the Rams yeah guy as well you’re do you feel about that is there a kidship to him being from Fort Colin my parents went to see you I don’t know I

Don’t like them so why would I like him we figured out why you hate see you we got it um all right awesome well fellas what did you think of the Takeover tonight you know I thought it was a lot of fun um um it I it felt like the

Perfect game and that the Nuggets won in the end and we never had a doubt that they would win yeah but it was fun that they kept it close for a little bit thank you incredible kept you on your toes I never felt like it was close it was it

Was in fact close when the Nuggets were losing I like I said Focus for a couple of the I always to win I never doubted that but it was fun that they kind of kept you on your toes for a little bit there have you guys thought of a good

Hot take though to give get us out on the show we’ve got some hot takes you got a bunch of them Del present them uh maybe one two one a piece all who wants to start us off I’ll start with my hot take yeah so yic and his

Passes feel like we had too many turnovers way too many turnovers okay we can’t be playing ball where it’s like we’re not playing volleyball this feels like a complaint not a hot this feels like a hot critique 21 how many turnovers they turn you over though they

Are the best in the league at turning you over so how many did the other team have 13 uh I don’t know thereabouts I think it was 21 to 13 yeah 13 so great at making plays great with the assist but we can’t be playing volleyball out

There W all right uh kale how much of a hot take is it that turnovers are bad or bad how many peppers we talking here one pepper tank one pepper did you he was like oh we got some hot Tes man we got some hot ones come on two Peppers

Two pepper tank hot turnovers are bad all right jo/ fence Joe Das Spence uh there’s no way yours is not that spicy you got to have a spicier one than that I think he’s a little spicier um minute it it Roots back to the Magic game okay

When Jamal dribble the A out of the ball the end of the game sucked it it hurt to watch right and I’ll be honest I I texted my brother right before the final play and I said if they give the ball to mpj they win if Michael Porter Jun takes a

Last shot they win if they give it to anybody else they lose so you’re proven right because it didn’t happen in yeah I set myself up for Success on that one but my hot take is the next time that it comes down to the last shot it should be

Michael Porter Jr and it will hit it he’ll hit it and they will win that’s going to be a five PE Pepper take there’s no way he gets to take that shot yeah I agree I agree that’s that’s my hot take is Michael Porter Jr should

Take take the next big shot Porter when the clock’s winding down and he just has to shoot it shoots 100% so I kind me right about he hits the big shots he doesn’t miss he’ll miss the open ones every now and again I wish we would give him a couple

More grenades like every now and then it’s like where’s Mike we have a grenade boom just do something with it cuz he does make those man and it was a bit more reassuring when after the game he was talking about how you know sometimes him and kcp and a should get a couple

More shots but I get it it’s the best two-man game in the league it’s undeniable and it’s hard not to give it to Jamal or Yol but yeah I think mpj should get the next one okay uh kale I told we have super chats let’s read them

Eric you want to use your good eyes oh my God can we get to be a part of this you can hang out uh let’s see what we got here AR stray our homie that DJ ejection sent the Nuggets into an even higher very pissed-off gear that I don’t

Think I’ve ever seen from them in a long time Terminator esque I think what was good about that was that yoke had to come back in I honestly that was the best part of I was pretty big I I I found myself hoping for an ejection

Every game at the 9 Minute Mark uh Cedric Exquisite our guy all the Nets are good by the way Adam you’re still short in my eyes Dev your pck suck sometimes just had to say it love you dine what a great what a great super chat sometimes I disagree I think you’re

Very tall by way thanks man I appreciate it uh but most of that chat was great though right uh 55555 is couldn’t watch the game live but it seemed like all the nuggets are good yes well starters glad to see Bruce got his ring can’t wait for Tuesday’s MVP matchup oh my God

Tomorrow’s show you’re not going to want to miss guys we’re we’re getting ready for that one it’s going to be a full show getting ready for I’m I went from happy to nervous already uh and be is back it looks like he’s back he’s been going through practice and stuff he’s he

Might have taken the last two weeks off just to get ready for this that’s it’s entirely possible naen Marcus yic seems to have reached a new level of Mastery after this prolonged streak of crazy efficiency where do you think he ranks all time still Number

One MH I it’s too early I don’t think you should do players all time while they’re playing I just think it’s like you got to wait man you they get upset when they score four points uh our our the ultimate homie BJ Malay wow2 great game wish I could have

From uh Joe Clem 15 Sugar Ray Robinson is considered the goat but he was not my he was not passionate about boxing he openly talked about it just doing it for money that uh that feels like he’s talking about yic in the same the same vein y just doing it to buy more
