Jokic and Murray come up one play short vs Kyrie and the Mavs

Jokic and Murray come up one play short vs Kyrie and the Mavs

Man how’s my man oh man come on what come on man do to deserve this No Luck of the Irish for Michael Malone tonight what is up everybody Welcome to the losers Lounge man it’s been a while since we’ve been here it’s a little uncomfortable I

Know it’s dirty it’s dark as bad as Denver was in this game I was so certain they were winning I was positive I I I was certain that they had the win on this one Murray missed the shot at the very very end to crush all of our hearts we’re going to

Break it all down for you though lots of topics actually I think there’s a lot of conversation out of this game should be interesting I got the actual Irish been here brenon vot cheers almost a real celebration at the bar real close man it’s like you know they say basketball’s

A game EV Life’s a game of inches does feel like today was off like we were talking about the bar didn’t have the energy you would expect for St Patty’s Day like something was off up was down it was like a Zeke Naji it was almost there

This was a zek Naji G for sure uh D Line’s in the house cuz it’s a Sunday man nobody knows how to act they’ve got you’re joyous you’re celebrating but you also have the scaries dude you so like you don’t know how to be so whatever yeah whatever we’re flushing away and

Then over there of course rounding out the show Superstar Dev I’m going be honest fellas Denver didn’t deserve to win that one they did not it just didn’t play like they wanted to win that one and it sucked I hate to say it but you know

Deserve got nothing to do with it they could have still won that’s what was made would have made made this one so great when you beat a team when you clearly were were bad especially when you were up 11 with 5 minutes to go it’s like oh that’s the best Denver almost

Pulled off the ultimate like disheartening card if you’re a MTH but all nullified let’s get into a quick breakdown real quick I’ll make it quick Mavs hot start 13-2 run nuggets had to come back remember the start of this game was like 10 to2 then nuggets made a

13 to2 run and first quarter was a porter quarter certified Porter quarter uh he even Had a Hammer dunk you remember that was that was sexy Yoki getting no calls this was going to be a very physical game he got a tech Michael Malone got a tech didn’t really make a

Difference it was 3430 nuggets after one but bench okay for a stint but Luca got going that guy was on fire to start the game you guys remember that uh Christian Brown had another step back three two games in a row now he’s going in his

Harden bag uh and the nuggets retook the lead and they go to the half 6158 third quarter nuggets were ice cold in that quarter fellas what happened they had 18 points in the third quarter and they had nothing but wide open looks could not get anything to fall joic was off and

Then Kyrie was percolating in that third quarter Kyrie was getting his his game going 15 offensive rebounds for the Dallas Mavericks in that third quarter in the last like three minutes I think they got 10 of those it was really that was a turning point in my opinion Mavs

Took the lead 8479 going into the final frame continued to dominate The Glass Michael Malone called a timeout he stuck with Z naagi I was surprised I thought maybe he would just go small stuck with him yoke comes back in 8 minutes down n points mpj had a transition three to cut

It to four missed it and there was a leak out dunk I feel like that was another one of those plays where it was like man you get a wide open three on the break miss it long rebound Outlet pass for a dunk and it’s like that’s a fivepoint swing that happened right

There Murray goes off glass though Murray’s had a three to cut it to four again later 3 minutes 45 seconds left then Murray goes off the glass to cut it to one two minutes left yic isos Luca ties it one minute left Murray same exact action the next time down they ran

Pick and roll got it to yoke on the switch he attacks luuk and scores next play you come down and Murray just pulls up from three and drains it it was a tough shot and I was certain the Nuggets were going to win but for some reason

The Nuggets were slacked off of Luca man you know Luca loves to take deep threes especially in the CL that dude is clutch gave him all that space and he just pulls up and drains it I thought it was bad defense on Denver’s part and then

You come down 24.1 seconds left so you could run the clock out it is hard to time I will give Murray that it’s hard to time exactly when the shot will go but you air on the side of caution you can’t lose the game if the shot clock

Through the shot clock violation you can’t lose it instead he goes 2 seconds early gets a great I can’t even blame him cuz the shot was such a good look that you’re like he’ll make that 99% of the time well he missed it after being incredibly clutch and

Kyrie this is what he does man Kyrie has such a weird game driving with his left hand to the middle of the basket basically right where Murray missed shoots a sweeping left-handed hook shot and that’s how they win it a left-handed hook shot over joic from the foul line

To win the game uh Dev big takeaway presented by Red Haw Roofing the homies who were in the house tonight and gave away tickets to watch the Nuggets play next week my big takeaway was Dallas is a weird team to go against and just watching that like Sol ified that very

Unorthodox type of team with how Luca plays how Kyrie plays the the extra pieces I was actually surprised about how well they defended but also how much they got away with in that game and I think that that threw a wrench in the Nuggets game plan um to win the game on

The left-handed floater is a wild shot but not for them just how they played I couldn’t believe how in control they were on the rebounding um how they forced the Nuggets into like very wild shots and that’s just not a team that I want to see in the playoffs really so

Just get out of that I’m not saying I’m scared of them but I just I just don’t know I don’t I don’t like how there’s just so much uncertainty around that team this is a game that I feel like the Nuggets played very very bad but I think

That a little bit of it was how they game planned for that game so just a very weird Team all right okay there’s a lot of there’s a lot of meat on the bone there that you just took us what about your big takeaway I mean the big

Takeaway is that uh you know you got to you got to have your best players play their best or you’re not going to win that the Denver Nuggets just did not play a very good game they almost the it to me this is the same thing against the

Suns where by all means they didn’t play well enough to lose or to win but they had enough in them to make it to get tied with two seconds left like to they had the winning shot they had nothing going for them they were in a position

That they still should have won and it the shot just doesn’t fall but I mean the Denver Nuggets are they just are so clutch I just cannot believe the Murray missed that shot I know unbelievable I know this is like both proof of concept for what we know to be true the nuggets

Are just so like you have to be up by 12 to going into the clutch time to beat him this is proof of concept except for it wasn’t at the very very end D it I was so ready to have some crazy takes dud I mean come on man like I’m still

Counting as a win to be honest all right uh what about you vote yeah and even even with that inevitable run it’s still a nice reminder to that like if Denver just takes care of these they’ve done it for the better stret part of these last

12 games to be very clear but little things of and playing maturely responsibly even knowing that that run is going to come the rebounding tonight is really what I’m talking about that was something that was within Denver’s control that just ran away from them for the better part of three quarters and

Obviously you know they they figured it out in the for they always do but that was just uh I mean there’s a hundred things you could point to including yic playing better which he typically does Jamal hitting that shot but honestly they probably win this game by five if they

Just rebound the ball a little better and uh credit Dallas who played like a desperate team tonight played like a team that’s in the playin but that that want to that desperation that extra is what Denver didn’t have and I think it’s ultimately why it’s a loss today 21

Offensive rebounds for Dallas that’s the most Denver has allowed this year they had allowed 19 one time that was a win over Portland they had allowed 18 one time that was also a win in fact I think they were like 11 and one when allowing 15 or more rebounds or 8- one something

Like that or 8-0 or 8-1 so it’s not always damning if a team gets a lot of offensive rebounds it usually means they missed a lot of shots so there’s something there but tonight just way too many Second Chance opportunities and this is what they do I

Think I think when people look at I saw some people saying put put uh DeAndre in cuz zek honestly the thing that they do is they bring the big out into pick and roll the reason you wouldn’t go DeAndre in this game is DeAndre wouldn’t be rebounding he would be guarding Luca on

The perimeter and then you would be counting on the other guys to rebound so I don’t know that it was necessarily that even though I thought Zeke had a couple rebounds he should have grabbed in that stretch that was frustrating but I mean yoke too there were big

Possessions where yoke was on the court but that’s the nature of a team that plays Five out the way that they do and they have tenacious rebounders man Lively goes after everything Gafford goes after everything Derek Jones they have athletes that just go for the ball and tonight they got

Denver with it um I think my big takeaway would be the playoffs because they become so zero some you know become so like you either win or don’t and it’s short sample size I hate mates I feel like yok is always bad at Mates is this

Like in my head that’s like my big takeaway is I came into tonight’s game like I don’t know I feel like y needs to sleep but I feel like the they had a m a game not that long ago and they did really well and I don’t which

One was that do you remember they only get like three a year so it’s not like we get a huge sample size I think we went to a mat did we go to a mat is that right oh yeah it was a takeover who was it Orlando no that was

Courtside oh yeah that was court I don’t know might they went to Utah yeah Utah so so I don’t know that but that was just one of my thoughts is this was a very I think if you’re trying to read the match up and I want to go back to

Your big takeaway here Denver shot 43% from three tonight which which is good that’s above average Dallas only shot 26% 25.7 yeah so they shot better than Dallas Denver shot better than Dallas so I think if you’re a Dallas fan you say you know what we had a lot of good looks

In this game that we’ll probably count on going down and if you’re a Denver fan you just look at yoke six of 16 tonight 16 points we talk about this match up being super favorable and tonight he just couldn’t get it done now they were

Very extra physical I do think yoke is a little more irritable like that’s the rap on yoke try to piss him off cuz he can lose temper and I thought tonight he lost his temper a little bit got out of his rhythm and then started missing

Bunnies just a little bit um but I don’t think that will happen again I actually there’s nothing that happened tonight that made me think oh yoke this is tough for yoke I just think he had an off night but I think that that’s where it becomes a positive for both teams but

Dallas got the win on top of it because I mean Denver’s going to look at this game and say Jamal and joic are not going to play that poorly um we’re not going to allow them to rebound you know that poorly um and and we’re just going

To play hard in them and then on the other side of things you have you’re going to say we have Jamal Murray and Nicola joic so like we are good to go and we’re not we’re not allowing that to happen the thing is that like there’s there’s momentum there’s also a team

That now believes and they shouldn’t believe but Denver gave them that opportunity because of how they played and how that they finished um so I really I don’t like that part of it I do not think that Dallas would beat the Nuggets in a seven game series I don’t

Think that there’s a a team that can beat them in a seven game series but I do think that there’s a team that believes that they can and that’s dangerous you know in the NBA yeah D Dallas has a lot to think about though I feel like Dallas is almost because their

Season has been so erratic but don’t you think they look at that game and say like I love if you’re Jason kid you’re like I love where we are we just they’re not thinking of everything else they’re like we just limited Jamal Murray and Nia yic because of how hard we played

The reason we played so well you guys crashed every single rebound Luca was incredible in that game but he wasn’t like perfect like he wasn’t really good he was incredible he good he could say I could play better than that so like I think that if you’re Jason kid just easy

To pitch them that says you beat the best team in the NBA because of these small things I don’t think you can say the same thing for Denver yeah it’s possible how do you feel about that uh I I don’t know tonight was such

A like just such an outlier to me just I I don’t know that there’s much to take of it the I mean truly the only thing I take from it is that the nuggets are clutch even though they missed the biggest shot but they the they stepped

Up to the plate after being really impotent for so long and then they were like all right fine let’s do it and they did exactly what they do every single time man it really looked like they were going to win and then you just get like

A very very lucky shot in my opinion out of uh Kyrie Irving we were saying that those are the kind of shots that you yoke at hits and it makes you crazy so maybe it’s not whatever but it took that insane circus shot and Jamal missing a

Very routine jump shot for them to pull this off like I’m I’m just I’m actually like more encouraged by this than than I am discouraged I mean I’m I don’t really fear for the Mavs like I’m not worried about this match up at all not even a little bit nothing from tonight nothing

Tonight what what from tonight do you think tells a story rebound man how many more Mavs how many more shots did the Mavs get tonight today a lot right I’m thinking double digits they just got a rebound they got 16 more shots you’re right and then if you on any given night

If the Nuggets lose a game and you put a proverbial gun to my head and say what’ll be different next time uh I’m usually going with yoke plays better you know like he you’re right it’s the best way to lose a game is if yoke plays poorly you’re like well that doesn’t

Happen when it matters that’s not to say I don’t I actually hate getting up here and saying it doesn’t matter if you care about the one seed it matters if you care about 58 wins it matters if you carry about our 10 game win streak side quest it matters

As far as what it tells me about the matchup I’m not worried at all uh Denver just this is a weird game and if they rebound they win anyway so I I just there all those teams in the playing right now they’ve got very talented best players and they’re just not that good

As teams and they’ll be talked about as threats but a team like the nuggets should take care of business in the playoffs one thing I’ll say is that Luca and Kyrie are such incredible shot makers that you don’t want to get like there’s clutch as in the last 5 minutes

Denver out clutched the Mavs tonight in the last 5 minutes but I think Dallas is as good as anyone and there’s a lot of good teams at this but Dallas is as good as anyone in the last 10 seconds like okay it’s tied and you need now to out

Clutch in 10 seconds that can be a little tricky so um tip your hat to him good win uh good shot by them nuggets hopefully refocused cuz this next one’s even more important against Minnesota so maybe this is one that chaps your ass a little bit I’m a little chapped you know

I’m a little chapped hopefully they are as well all right let’s take a break on the other side we’ll continue to break down these players what happen including yoke what did we look we still have more to pull on on yol’s game tonight bre and Ridge Brewery you know we love our bre

Seven assists the weirdest play of the night in the fourth quarter when he got the ball on the Block and then passed it almost just passed it right to PJ Washington that was the weirdest decision yeah that’s one of those ones that like makes me sit and pause for a

Second like I to go back and watch I don’t know what it was with yoke but I just and and again I told you actually you predicted yoke to eat tonight I would call consider this not eating he did not eat and one of the reasons I was

Skeptical about that was I actually think he can murder these fools and I think there’s a reason to go into a game like this and be like passive I just thought he was passive in very specific moment sh too yeah then he missed yeah I really feel like early in the game when

He got fouled and didn’t get it that become became the entirety of the game that’s all he was focused on is I was wronged and I need to make this right so he started taking wild shots just to get fouled and I’m not going to lie some of

Them were fouls but uh some of it was like they were baiting them into this is the game that you’re going to play and and that’s been you know something that’s been discussed for the last couple of weeks is the referees have been sucking their whistle they they’ve

Not been you know making those calls that they were making last year and the year before that and stuff so I feel like he tried to play a a cat and mouse game with the refs and then it became the like his identity for the game um I

I feel like he scored when he got aggressive or he wanted to go under but it was like too late in the game and then the momentum already came out of it this was a wild game from yic didn’t get the rebounds that he typically gets um

Miss shots early like kind of like forced him to not make those same type of passes I think that the defoul was really just like determined the game and then from there it was like that’s all I’m focused on and I didn’t like how he responded with that yeah yeah I don’t

Know it’s tough uh I’m I’m distracted like this is uh what are you distracted by well for the the selection Sunday oh both the Buffs and the Rams got in the Rams got in as a playin no way as a 10 the same as the Buffs they’re both

Playing on Tuesday so it’s not even a real scene no it’s to get the 10 dude a week ago both of those teams looked like they were sitting pretty are you serious man I’m telling you people don’t know our Serbian friends they don’t know that I feel like this is a slight both

They’re not even in the same division they’re not in the same conference this is not like two teams from the same conference get put into that just two Colorado teams yeah that’s such [ __ ] man that’s that’s why I’m distracted I’m like I’m trying to digest all of this that is such

[ __ ] that’s tough what a bummer who did all right well that was a good that was actually good yeah come back back to us yoke uh tonight just felt a little passive you’re right that he missed some shots but de thought he was too bothered by the officiating um he definitely was

He definitely was early on um he didn’t ever quite find his footing he kind of like was off balance the entire game he was missing shots he just it just wasn’t a good game by him I would hypothesize that he and Luca got together last night

Except for Luca had a great game so apparently only yic was affected by it um I think that there’s something to the notion that it’s hard to get your circadian rhythms in uh working for a Day game when you’re used to playing in the evening it’s just whatever it was

That the Nuggets were truly out of rhythm during this the Rhythm week so Rhythm stretch um this was off Rhythm though this was off Rhythm everything was anomalous about this game so you just to me I there I have no true takeaways other than man like damn that

Sucked yeah um let’s go to your guy Michael Porter I will say this Murray Yol sometimes s their energy Focus whatever can wax it away and I do feel like this is one thing Mike deserves he’s inconsistent in outcome sometimes he makes sometimes he misses I feel like

He’s locked in tonight his Porter quarter early he only finishes with 20 I think he had 12 in the first quarter but his Porter quarter early their shots four of nine again from 3 to9 there’re shots that we haven’t seen him taking lately and he’s making all of them now

That’s it this when the dust settles this feels like a weird example but let’s just look at the first quarter maybe the most confident quarters looked all season and he’s looked confident coming out of the break for a while now but that one where he where he stopped realized he was stuck

He was contested and he just shot it anyway from the right wing and it was Cash we haven’t seen that from Porter for a while and this was nearly the blueprint for a Sunday MAA game nuggets are playing weird yok and Murray aren’t in it you get a porter quarter to keep

You attached through halftime and then typically Murray and yage figure it out at some point and they kind of did in clutch time to be honest I think this like I know ended up fading to the back but this was almost a perfect first half

For Mike to keep them in it and then they take over and deliver the win obviously the second part didn’t happen I didn’t love his rebounding in the first half but he did finish with seven three assists two steals two blocks his energy was there he’s a real bright spot

In the loss and has been a bright stot since the All-Star break yeah this is a game that I feel like it’s difficult to like find that balance and I think that this is the one piece that Denver is missing um and I mean I know that Denver

Plays like the beautiful game and extra passes and whatnot and that’s what separates them from the rest of the NBA but those other teams when a guy has it they feed that man they he they ride the hot hand and I feel like they go away Denver goes away from that more than

Other teams because they have two players that are so much better than the others Michael Porter Jr had a porter quarter he had a very very good first half and then he faded and it wasn’t because of like his own decisions it just kind of did not find him anymore um

It was was not part of the offense to get him going um they didn’t let him touch it as much to get those shots going and that’s where he has to get better but Denver has to get better of like hey he has it this night let’s make

Sure to feed him and also get other people involved so I really do think that Denver is looking for that balance but on a game where Michael Porter Jr hasn’t going like this there’s these mismatches other people are not scoring why not go back to the well go right

Back to the guy that has it going so I really do hope that Denver finds that balance here shortly especially with they being with 13 more games in the regular season um because they’re going to be really good when they can feed the hot man but also play their game and

That’s been hiso is like I’m going to fade and let you guys take over now I did whatever I had to do but why not have those 40p point games why not have a 50-point game every now and then but he like I don’t know something something

Weird about Mike too like he got the ball he had open shots he just couldn’t something about him too like it’s the third was it the third quarter he he was over in the third the third quarter and it’s like nuggets were though they like it

Was like cont me that’s what I mean like I I don’t know what you do in that situation it’s like all right shoot might do have it like okay let’s try to get yeah the third quarter was weird um but I you know I but I mean he was great

In the first half and that’s um and I you know I I guess there’s a lot of different ways to look at it there’s a lot of different ways to figure out like is how much of this is Mike how much of this is the nuggets how

Like is he hot but has a hard time maintaining it is it like he cuz it seems like this is the story with him always he’s like red hot and then disappears and it is it they’re just simply not giving him the ball or tonight I think he just missed him they

Got it to him so I don’t know it’s a it’s a weird thing but I mean but everybody missed him though it wasn’t it wasn’t like uh okay we got to go to the guy who’s making him now in the third there was nobody making them it was a

Little rough I will say man Mike the Nuggets given this loss to Malone on on St p day feels personal I agree him getting so Fu like he was so pissed at the ref that that flager I almost thought he was going to get kicked out during St Pat’s day which

Would have been its own like sitcom moment something usually or I do just kicked out of bars but also I mean that that’s a bit telling they really want these wins right now like they truly do and I mean he’s going to say and you’re supposed to as a coach you’re going to

Say you don’t care about that one seed or you don’t care about but also like there’s a of I think that he really wanted that but also like building the right habits and that is not the right habits of first off he felt like his team again was wrong like there was

Fouls and stuff but also his team wasn’t playing well they they showed how animated he was he was pissed off about how much rebounds you know Dallas got um people not making right decisions um defensive like like breakdowns and La he really wants these wins and you love

That from your coach but but also I think that that’s a lot of expectation as well so just just trying to find the balance I really think right now is about finding the balance I think you’re right about that because again the nuggets have played 13 games post

All-Star one they lost in overtime and another one they lose right at the buzzer so they’re basically like losing in overtime yeah I mean this was in some yeah so it’s it’s just raise your thin margins for Denver in their losses and it’s kind of bound to happen you’re

Bound to have your ups and downs tonight was definitely that off Rhythm one I want to go to the bench though yeah this game went more or less how I we talked about our pregame was on point today so we talked about how Dallas has a really strong bench because their stagger

Lineups feature Luca so Denver’s bench tonight against Luca they got murdered um but Christian Brown continues to play better and better 10 points from him four of five shooting he had that step back three he had a couple tough finishes I think they’re still encouraging things off of that bench

Even if the numbers tonight weren’t great yeah as a whole it was definitely a step back from a unit that’s been pretty good since the All-Star break all things considered but you’re dead on I think Christian Brown used to play with confidence especially offensively he put it behind his back and everyone cleared

Out I was like hang on what’s Happening uh he did draw a foul on that play would have been an awesome night for brown to like only one Rebound in a night when rebounding was a problem for Denver when he’s a guy who can win some

Feels tough but again like like I it’s not like I have any particular rebounds I wish he would and got it just one’s a little low for a total but offensively he looked confident right now he’s the bright spot Off the Bench again and his

Stock is High I mean I think he’s right now to me clearly the sixth guy as as they approach the playoffs I think this was the one game honestly that I’m not looking at the stats of saying how the bench played in this game I think the

Bench played well I think they played really well in this game um Zeke Nai gave you great minutes Christian Brown had a really good game I think defensively pton Watson played um pretty well you want to make some more shots from Reggie Jackson of course but I

Think that they looks like a good unit the problem with this game and also what I hope Denver changes stop letting these Superstars go against your second unit and then getting the momentum for the entirety of the game Lucas should not been going against the entire you know

Bench unit that’s where he going that’s when he got but also that’s been their thing Denver allows these players it doesn’t matter who the start SGA gets going against them like they just like let that stagger happen and Denver is like okay we’re going to let that happen

No match match Aaron Gordon or your best defender on the other guy so that you’re not getting hammered like I think that this was a good bench unit that looked bad because Luca was way better than them duh he’s better than them um so I

Think that this was a good game that the bench unit was punished in because they let him like Luca go off more you have any thoughts about Christian in particular or maybe even Payton uh I mean this the toughest they both had pretty tough assignment I agree

With you that Christian Brown is like just back he’s back um pton Watson was not like he was normal he was just kind of like there he didn’t you know he missed a couple midies which was uh upsetting he took a bad midi too he did

Take a bad one uh but I know I it’s funny because we say you know that Luca gets the benefit of going up against the the bencha but so does Jamal every night like he goes up against the Ben [ __ ] overnight he like rarely takes advantage

Like Luka did um Luca lights like Luca loves his rhythm he loves the way cuz LeBron has the same one and he does the same thing he comes in to start the game he’s in second gear and then when he checks out then checks back in against

The bench and he’s like six gear let’s go yeah but that’s my question to y’all do you think Denver should try to match that a little bit more like on those super there’s not many superstars in the league Luca is a top three player in the world I think you should change

Something against them I understand you trying to find your your your footing your your rhythm of like this is what we are but like really that’s where these games are lost against these Superstars because they allow LeBron Luca Steph Curry the the players that are way different than everyone else get that

Momentum because it’s not against kcp it’s not against Aaron Gordon do you change that I don’t and the reason is we saw this in the Lakers series it followed the exact same script for a whole series and that’s playoffs where you kind of like know you’re going to

Suffer a little in in those minutes but you always made it up on on both sides of that St and I think Denver just feels confident now I will say the difference is in the playoffs Zeke Naji Justin holiday are in their rotation in the in the regular season in the playoffs

That’s going to be Aaron Gordon kcp you know it’s going to be more starters so I I don’t think to the thing you were raising earlier I don’t just don’t think Murray is that type of player it’s not that he’s not good but he’s not he can’t

Get like the Twinkle Toes that Alca can and just take over so you don’t quite have the same thing but I do think you’ll have more that in the playoff SE yeah m is more so defensively because like that’s what separates them in the playoffs but Christian Brown and pton

Watson that’s good defensive players you’re bringing in you’re going against Luca you just think with those guys I’m just saying I just feel like there should be a better matchup because in the playoffs they’re not I feel like they want to win so badly that they are

Going to do that you’re not getting those same type of minutes so you’re going to win but also if you really want this win as badly I think that you should do it early also if you’re getting ready for the playoffs and this is a playoff look why not give it a look

Right now to see what it is that you have um I mean I’m I might be overthinking that right now but I just feel like that’s something that I’ve been seeing all year long where these Superstars get to just go crazy against the backup unit and Denver doesn’t match

That on the other end because I feel like yic doesn’t just get to just go destroy the second unit like teams are like no we’re we’re not going to let him go crazy and Jamal doesn’t have it sometimes to do that yeah but then you know the other side of is that Denver

Starters just absolutely crush more often than not I mean in the regular season I kind of like the approach of like we’re Denver we’re the defending champs we do our thing and if we do everything like rebound we’re winning this game you can tank you’re with your

Rotation we won’t I think in the playoffs it’s different but also the rotation shrinks the whole Denver’s whole second unit looks different anyway more starter heavy so it does feel that way but to me the flip side of it is if you hang on in those minutes if it’s a

Tie game or close to it when yic comes back in now it’s your time to go on a run so I didn’t I don’t I didn’t necessarily mind the rotation I just again man there were 100 100 controllable factors here in a two-point loss there really were a lot of

Controllable factors another one zek Naji we’ll want to talk about him on the other side because he’s so tough we have to always put him under a microscope but tonight 9 minutes just one rebound and I don’t Michael Malone was bright beat red with at that point where they gave up

Like six offensive rebounds in a row I to talk about that on the other side all righty gang it’s time to talk about Empire the Kings the Emperors you could say of flooring we’re actually sitting on a neat little Empire floor right now you can’t see it so it’s not much of a

And so are your little Le so what’s a leprechaun bro you did it you did it I just feel like this is fitting I’m so glad you got to do that I just feel like they put the word little in there a lot but that’s all right we can move forward

You yeah they did make sure usually the read doesn’t have that that was like exclusive they edit it for you they’re like who’s reading it harison or vote was like vote okay little the greatest part about this is that from this point forward with the mustache Brendon V known as the hairy little

Leprechaun I should stay home he should have stay home dress up dude Honestly though so you know how like little kids believe in Santa sure so I growing up I didn’t ever like my folks just didn’t do that so I have it with my kids and it’s been fun but they

Also like really get into the Tooth Fairy so like the Tooth Fairy there’s a whole ordeal and then last night and I’m not kidding and I don’t know how I don’t know if it was my wife’s idea or what they made a trail of Lucky Charms throughout the house into a little into

A little green hat with a stick so that he would trapped into this hat and we were acting like that was a thing that people do they’re like yeah the leprechaun we going to trap the leprechaun I was like is this a thing that’s a while so you know I was in

Elementary school for a while like work not for me personally I was working I was working in element for a little bit they would do like uh like they would put the feet on on the ceiling and the kids will walk in and just go nuts for

Like for like 3 or 4 days as if he was like running across the ceiling and they’re like bought in on this you just put like random things around the house like that would be cool for you I it is a weird thing cuz now my kids are be

Like my oldest one’s nine so we’re about the age I think when they’re going to start questioning this but it’s not just Santa it’s like there’s like 12 made up throughout the course of the year elf on the shelf The Little Leprechaun you’re either bought into that side of the

World or you’re not what do you need there’s either Santa or there’s not everything if there’s Santa then there’s a tooth favor there’s definitely a tooth there’s not just they’re like all what tooth Theory that’s ridiculous I just know soon coming up I’m going to have to

Break the news to my kid about like no but don’t do it though don’t do it that cuz you’re an [ __ ] if that’s the case I’m afraid of my mom was an [ __ ] like I was like doing the whole Santa thing and she’s like like we’re talking about

Christmas and how Santa drops it off on Christmas and she’s like yeah Santa drops it off on Christmas but you have you have presents 3 weeks beforehand did he come already she’s making fun of you she’s like what you dummy idiot you an idiot come don’t be

That guy don’t be don’t be that Mom I’m don’t yeah you can let your kids know but don’t shame them while you do it I’m like man you’re old enough to really understand this is ridiculous or just do what everybody else does let their friends tell them and ruin it that way

Yeah do that um Zeke Naji tonight one rebound pton Watson two rebounds those guys combin for 23 minutes that would be one of my fears I mean again you put AG out there it’s probably a little bit different but I would say what is that combo of players have struggle with I do

Think there’s something to rebounding and Dallas again I’m not worried about Denver min soda coming up I don’t know if they’re going to get 21 offensive rebounds but the spread you out teams man like that’s where Payton’s going to be battling inside he’s got to grab some

Of these and that’s like one skill he hasn’t proven to me yet that’s a great Point that’s a great Point that’s an easy way you look at this game and you go all right look he was one for four didn’t have a lot going on was looking

For ways to make an impact just go grab nine boards foul someone if you have to right like remember Porter in the early days when he was struggling and the shot wasn’t falling he just I’m just going to crash the boards like a like an insane

Man and I thought maybe more of that was needed from Watson and brown tonight but you’re right that is he stretched that out that’s the one thing that group doesn’t do super well does that look better in a stagger with Gordon out there instead of Zeke maybe Porter out

There instead of holiday depending on what it looks like maybe but it was one way that which Christian and pton both I thought could have made a better impact tonight uh and it’s not their bread and butter and it is what you sacrifice when you put Zeke out there who work hard

Draws fouls does some stuff well but he’s just not pulling rebounds down with two hands yeah I think that uh there was a lot asked of Zeke in this matchup because you’re going against Luca there was a bunch of we’re about to set a screen and we’re going to we’re going to

See how good his defense really is he he did good though he did do good but that also takes you away from grabbing boards so like you have to ask which one you want you’re going against Luca top three guy in the world in ISO and you’re

Holding your own you can’t grab boards as well so like other people could have stepped in on that but then on the flip side you’re like hey no one rebounded well for the Nuggets so if no one rebounded well like you’re like hey does

A second unit do it who steps up in that second unit I don’t think that it was a Zeke naagi um you know type of game where he was supposed to do that so I’m usually T like I’m typically low on zek Nagi and like the effort there I think

That he tried really hard in this game and the stats don’t tell like what happened I think this is an all right Zeke Naji game I just wish there was more rebounds to like show show that he he gave effort right you want a crazy stat that might not mean anything dine

The nuggets are 10 and0 when pton Watson grabs at least five rebounds how often does that happen like what they’re like and 10 and0 10 and0 that’se um again that’s probably a little bit of noise but I do think there’s something too if you’re getting rebounds it usually means

You’re getting stops those are defensive rebounds and if the bench is getting stops that means you probably won I think that’s the correlation there is a COR leash but they were getting stops they just were getting no rebound man that was so frustrating I mean it’s a stop they

Didn’t get the well right they they’ve got what should have been stops they had rebounding options and opportunities they just couldn’t get them it was so dude it’s so weird sometimes the nuggets are just dominate the boards and then other nights they get dominated it’s

Like a I I I suppose it’s an effort thing I suppose it’s a boxing out thing it’s a focus thing uh but they it was wild dude they were just getting dominated yeah I mean the two things that I just give Dallas the most credit on first hell of a shot

By L uh by Kyrie Irving hell of a shot hell of a shot man but also their effort on boards was insane it was two bodies on joic the entire time everybody like bought in to we’re going to try to keep him off of the boards cuz no one else is

Trying to rebound or go against that so like they went all in on the bit of we’re going to take him off and see if anybody else can outrebound us and they didn’t so like that was like a full eort type of game from them that they just

Kind of wanted it more yeah I definitely feel like Denver’s effort was a little low here for more statistical fun the nuggets are four- one when he when pton Watson grabbs zero rebounds oh that’s cool cool so I think we’ve gotten to the bottom of this so it’s only in the

Middle between one and four rebounds that’s where Denver struggles that’s where he’s got to don’t get that rebound oh no he has to get four more but really what it shows is if he gets five or more that means that it’s a blowout and and the other one is like he’s probably not

Playing that much in the bench yeah yeah that’s actually what it is um no I actually think it’s meaningful stat though I just it’s pton Watson is a wing he is a small forward he has more responsibilities than most players because it spans the Spectrum you got to

Be out and guard the perimeter limit threes contain the ball uh also play inside rebound you got to do all that stuff tonight they needed his big man he needed to channel his his inner big man and he didn’t necessarily have it um Zeke Naji you know we talked about him

As well is there anybody else that you think deserves a special mention from this one kcp I thought had timely buckets he only had 10 points but they all came right on time we haven’t seen some of those shots in those moments from kcp in quite some time that

Actually I’m glad you brought that up cuz I might have taken that and run with it had they come back those were some confident goodlooking shots from from pop who you know sometimes we talk about him like he’s just a defensive specialist but he’s not supposed to be

He is a good three-point shooter especially when he has a legs underneath him so those were some timely he almost saved the day to be honest in the fourth it would have been fun to talk about yeah I mean timely baskets but what I really loved is there was a a few times

That casy P got switched onto a big and held his own he had two blocks in this game and those were against the centers like that was not like a a guard trying to get around him I do feel like early on in the game he was quiet and then he

He was loud in the second half where he was like hey no one else has it let me try to step out and do a bit more um so I I really did like that aspect of Casey P like hey I’m going to just battle I’m

Going to play hard and I’m going to just try to do something to make my team win and I felt like that was this type of game yeah yeah uh any other big takeaways or thoughts or notes from this game wasn’t the best a in Gordon game and the stats are actually flattering

And we can remember some sweet moments from the dunker spot and he was very good sort of drawing attention and moving at the right times bit of a breakdown on that last three by Luca it felt like feels like you can ask more of Aaron Gordon there wasn’t his best game defensively

Altogether and then I don’t know if this is when all the dust settles Sometimes some of these things just feel louder than they were but that Aaron Gordon 3 when the Nuggets had cut it to four like in the third when he pulled it up you’re

Saying when he took the 30 when you’re like pulled up man he does that every game it’s like he’s feeling other people’s momentum yes that’s exactly oh mpj’s on fire I should pull like a life heat check right and come and take the lead but in

That moment it just felt like dude not that one not you not that moment uh but I’m nitpicking a little bit but it like his stats are fine but I just thought there were a couple of moments where Gordon’s usually better kale can we bring up the St standings right now you

Can go to ESPN CU this the real story is Denver now is a game behind the Thunder with 14 to go they don’t have the tiebreaker so you really can say they’re two games behind Oklahoma City for effect if they go 11 and three down the

Stretch OKC I think OKC is going to go 9 and5 and I think if they need to they might be able to go 10 and four but to me Eric we were debating this before the game but now that you now that it’s a loss I mean that hurts the hurt I just

Can’t I can’t be convinced that the Nuggets won’t be the one seed until they themselves show me that that’s the case I just this feels like the one seed I don’t know it just feels like there you still feel good about it I listen I never tell me the odds you understand

Never tell me the odds well I mean at 13 games and they’ve lost by one you know camel’s hair twice it good good I’m glad you replace it the word camel that’s good um I think that it is entirely likely that they will be the two seed but don’t tell my heart my

Heart believes the one seed they this is a one seed to me until proven otherwise which probably will happen I think we’re in a great spot as nuggets Watchers because the top nuggets Watchers if we’re not if the nuggets are not the one seed they still

Have to win as many games as possible to stay at the two SE not to be the three right you don’t want to be the three at all because really still if if the and it’s a big if if the Thunder were to lose in the first round then that makes

Them the top seed they still get home you know home court after that so you would still get that Advantage if you go down to three that that changes things that like makes it so that maybe you don’t have that or like when it matters

You don’t so Denver’s in a like we still have to press type of spot where they have to be very aggressive and try to get those wins um so they could still be trying to go after that one seat and hope that the thunder in the same spot

Of do we go all out um and try to get that one seed or do we try to settle yeah I’m with you I don’t two seed of the Thunder the one is fine with me to be honest it’s not optimal I’d love to

See them go get it I mean I want them to win every game fellas and I’d love for them to have but you’re not going to have the one seat if it’s Boston in the finals I mean you’re not going to have home court rather and I don’t think you

Need it against SOC staying above Minnesota to me is really what’s super important again that could be overcome as well but to me that one just matters more and you have those three games so that’s still well within your control getting the one seed would be ideal but

It’s not it’s not the worst thing to me especially if it’s the thunder so uh it’s it’s it’s not the worst it’s not the worst but if you wanted the one seed this is a this is a bit of a gut punch I think it is nice so you’re Out Of Reach

From Boston Boston is up six games you’re not going to catch them for the number one overall Oklahoma City I think Denver is going to keep chasing them let the cars fall where they may if it’s right neck and neck with five minutes to go I just think both teams are all gas

No breaks to the through the to Sprint that’s great Denver Minnesota currently a half game separates them because Denver’s played one more game so they have a half game lead they play three more times in the next three weeks starting with with on Tuesday and I just

Feel like those games are going to be really intense because Denver I do think they might get to a point where they no longer are interested in chasing the Thunder even if it’s like two games behind with eight to go it might be like we’re not want to wear ourselves out but

We have to keep Minnesota down and with three games you can do that you can take Minnesota out totally and the Bucks are three games back so when you start to look at that okay Oklahoma and Boston those are the only two teams with better records and you might not even play

Either of them Y and I think they feel safe but that means this next game against Minnesota it it just feels like it’s going to mean a lot to the Nuggets it’s going to mean a lot to Minnesota as well yeah yeah man I do too this is great

Because we didn’t get this last year last year it was just like we didn’t there was no jockeying for position we’ve gotten this every year up until last year um and I it’s fun dude it’s fun to sort of look ahead and actually start to see how it’s going to play out

You know obviously the Nuggets going to be the one seed as my heart says never always listen to my heart it’s fine but uh Minnesota that’s we have only seen Minnesota once this year it was with Carl Anthony towns and they smacked us right at the beginning of the Season I’m

Very interested to see how they match up um I suspect that the Nuggets will not have that much trouble with them since they don’t have the Twin Towers it all comes down to yic obviously but he’ll have a lot easier go of it um but I

Don’t know one SE nugs let’s go has the other thing about one two if you’re not particularly worried about the team ahead of you is it’s the playin format now so you also don’t even necessarily know who you’re playing yeah yeah like it’s not as clearcut as one eight that’s

Ideal so I don’t know it’s as long as you take care of these Minnesota games I think you’re you’re in great shape what do you expect Dev I expect them to just stay aggressive like I really do think that that’s the push is you don’t want to be

Three and also there’s an opportunity that they can fall so I think that Denver looks at that as we dropped one but we’re still going to be more aggressive now I think we’re they’re going to try to go after um that one seed in the hopes of if it’s not one

It’s two you can’t drop both and also you play Minnesota a few times so like that helps yeah uh all right let’s get to some super chats I know we have some super chats great one that just came really yeah we’ll get to it you know both post All-Star break losses go on

Yic playing like he’s drunk SL could give a [ __ ] heavy is the head that wears the ground pathetic stuff from 15 I mean a little heavy handed there you pathetic but I get it it wasn’t on his night I would say apathetic stuff from number 15

That was well good spin there a stray not to be confused with astray getting real tired of some of these games where yic isn’t assertive people are mad at yoke even with the bad game main issue though is them not being dominant for most of these games desperately need a

Win though you know nkit donic he’s so easy on his buddies he you know what he is he’s a diplomat he’s such a diplomat man I know yeah Joe Clen 15 glass half full like the Suns game those losses are net these losses are a net positive Championship habits can’t be established

If we win games we don’t deserve yeah it’s true I’m also not worried about it Championship habits you you have to pull out a game you don’t deserve in the playoffs at some point or another true Josh Roberts paying also paying the sponsor Red Hawk Roofing big takeaway

Who cares says Josh that’s his big take away who cares not sure they could win this if it was a game that mattered all the nuggets are Co you’re right about this Josh me and you we see things others aren’t able to naen Marcus do you

Think the rest refer to yic in what way no but I also think I’ve seen yic handle that better here I have a conspiracy theory kale I I have a conspiracy there I think yoke hates Natalie SEO W it’s been multiple games that that she has officiated where yok is like losing his

[ __ ] so I think that that’s my that’s my my conspiracy theory w wow that’s not much of a conspiracy I thought you were going to talk us to us about what temperature iron melts at yeah or your alien tattoos well I’m just trying to

Say next one Flo a we Euros get to watch live the worst games sorry brother that’s Aude you know what why the mat I’m telling you the Euros no what else do we got AR stray again all right my overreaction is over now not get lost shot we move regardless just for the

Love of God Denver when and dominate in Minnesota or I’m actually going to lose my mind one guys they have 11 10 of 12 I don’t yeah they’re also like the reigning Champion 11 of 13 I think 11 of 13 thank you thanks Adam I mean they

Have like 11 of 12 as well and they both both of those games that they lost they essentially lost at in overtime they were tied with one with three seconds left in both but you know what winning is fun and losing sucks you know what that’s a great Point winning is fun

Losing sucks so wise vote jdw worried about the bench’s ability to rebound pwat is rough on the boards as a four even with ag at the five instead of Zeke they weren’t good today it is a point AG agf maybe helps them a lot you’re going to get have to get Murray rebounding

It’s it’s it’s definitely a weak point it’s definitely a weak point Cedric Exquisite # BBU Dev you crazy ass mother [ __ ] but we love you Eric salute all right I’m right that crazy dude you’re so crazy I’m pretty Ted de you’re so Ted man dude Dev is so Wy

[ __ ] badass goofiest one bro and we’re going to wrap things up of like my girl she’s so wild and she has lettuce on her crazy crazy if you ask if you ask a girl like you’re so wacky dude ask your girl if she’s funny she’s just going to make a stupid

Face that’s a girl I’m so silly make a face oh my God you’re so Random You’re So Random you know we’re going to end on a good note from you know funny enough the only shot that yic contested all night was the gamewinner by Kyrie should let man dude I you know

Kyrie here’s the thing about Kye I know everybody hates him I kind of love him I separate the art from the artist for me all these things I love him because that dude truly he didn’t need to go left there you know what I mean like he’s one

Of these guys that’s like you know what he’s like be sick though you know what this would be incred he does he makes everything so hard and he’s so good at it yeah that was like man if this goes in cuz even if he missed it it was like

But that was so cool that was so cool so cool but then it went in it’s like I knew it like he gets to have a cool story that was such a good shot he is so fun to watch and honestly like I mean truthfully you just he’s just feel like

He can do everything and then you also feel like he’s going to miss all of his shots too you just don’t know what’s going to happen uh but how does he not score 40 every night I do I don’t know man do you guys know the like cover band

Guitarist that does too much that’s kind of him like he’s incredible guitarist and every now and then he starts soloing over not now yeah not now he’s like I don’t know man I’m feeling it over here just shredded you’re like that is difficult that that sounds terrible

Though do we have another one coming at the buzzer and icy hot these knees bench needs more beef Kyrie also stepped out yeah hold on wait he did yeah everybody keeps saying he stepped out we didn’t even lose we we protest did we really did we spend time on the Jamal like last

Second shot no no let’s sp’s we did it quickly but we can come back to it yeah let’s just do that I want to hear your take on it you’re you you have the ball in your hand at the end of the game you take the last shot cuz even if you make

That cuz everybody’s like yeah that’s just a shot he makes even if he makes that they would have gotten a chance to still win it like at the like worst no like no they still get if he made that they still would have had two point yeah with a three and that was

What they would have probably Drew up so you take the last shot so you don’t even give them that opportunity they have Kyrie Irving and Luca you don’t want them two taking a gamewinner so just take the last shot the timing for sure is off but also you’re supposed to read

That a little bit better even if he makes it I feel like that’s just too early it should have been zero on the clock I thought it to me it appeared that he didn’t expect to be as wide open as he was like he kind of where they were doing

Their action it was kind of maybe going to be a finale oop go back to Yol but he was like I’m wide open yeah like and I got to shoot it right now and whatever I think it’s harder than we people are giving credit for to have a shout when

It’s CU it wasn’t like there was1 second it’s really hard to perfectly time that being within 3 seconds is honestly good because to your point if they jump out at him as he turns the corner there’s not enough time to give it to yoke if you go 2 seconds later exactly then yoke

Picks it up and doesn’t have time to shoot it that’s what it to me it just looked like a play that was developing and he was like oh my God wide open started it too early the whole thing yeah this is almost you know what it is

Actually here’s what it is and who are we to question the Yol Murray TW Man game right d nuggets yeah it’s coming in handy a lot it’s they know what they’re doing in that moment in a very very very rare moment when the clock and shot

Clock and game clock are the same you probably just want the ball in jokic’s hands early let him decide cuz he’s the one that can effectively ISO in that moment and if they send the double make the pass as opposed to you need the action to set it up where the defense

Can almost dictate when you take the shot but this is it probably won’t happen again where we’ll have a 0.1 second Gap but I and here’s here’s the other thing it’s the timing right maybe like that that action just doesn’t have to start as early right but the shot

Itself I do not mind at all Jamal was wide open what like a 15-footer he was cooking I can’t believe he missed it I I that’s it I actually just can’t believe he missed it he was really good in the fourth so I that shot itself doesn’t

Doesn’t grind my gears but it’s just the seconds left that was the the real Sin I think hit that outro music kale that is St Patty’s Day for us I’m going to get blind drunk just kidding I’m going to have a soda I’m going have a green soda all

Right what a bummer man nuggets fall at the buzzer but big game on Tuesday we’ll be getting ready for it we do have a show tomorrow for you to prep you for that game we’ll get to hear Harrison notes he was watching the game so he’ll be back tomorrow sharing his thoughts on

This one hit that like button for us on the way out let’s [Applause] Go we all cting like the mayor

That’s a heartbreaker. Kyrie Irving hits the game winner after a Nuggets comeback to pull out the win over the Denver Nuggets.
