Jokic and the Denver Nuggets make a highlight reel in win over the Knicks | DNVR Nuggets Postgame

My God that was a fun one I’m exhausted after that g I’m truly exhausted though for real for real what is everybody Welcome to the winners line let’s go go nuggets get the big time win I believe today we think we have the wrong

Sponsor on there I think it is it is bet 365 cira today is presented by Circa today is presented by Circa what do you know I did not did not realize that presented by Circa Sports we’ve had a Circa day here at the dmvr bar we’re all

Circa during the tournament man we are all Circa nuggets get the win 113 to 100 over the New York Knicks and I’m telling you guys I called it earlier the most highlights we’ve ever seen in one Nuggets game this season at least there I think you’re right on that I’m gonna

Go back and I might have to rank them cuz there was like 20 plays that I was like that’s an alltime we got our bet 365 top five for next week already yo we might have it joic went off Porter went off Murray kind of went off for a little

Bit it was a Vibes Fest I got Harrison went here what a night man I mean NCAA tournament alltime Sports week you have the N this Nuggets game tonight man what a day what a time for car Sports except for CSU man you you see who people are the worst over there

Superstar death I gave CSU love in the newsletter I gave them love during the game they took the Y today but we might as well kick them all their down they took the yell um being at the bar on this type of day is is it’s incredible

It’s an experience I was here at 9:45 a.m. I’ve been here going live all day and I feel great if you put in a 12-hour day at the bar we need a word for that I know it’s it’s true what is it man you

Went 9 to9 today you got by the way me and Dev both uh been on the stream all day today I know wind will be there tomorrow the live stream with March bannis we’re just hanging out the bar you ever want to hang out with the

Fellas at the bar you ever want to hang out that’s what we’re doing all day on our YouTube channel check it out and we’re betting against each other too it’s been a lot of fun nuggets get the win though tonight I can’t wait to count down these highlights let’s do a fast

Breakdown first first things first Murray started the game on fire you guys remember how on fire he was to start eight quick points he was eight quick ones yic was being aggressive once Chua checked in I thought he was a little weird to start auua comes in he was

Being very aggressive very physical though officials tonight I thought allowing a lot of contact down down in the painted area say that again 32 to 30 nuggets after the first one we have ourselves a good game you know who was going off in the second quarter Isaiah

Hartenstein he boy my boy he was hitting that floater today man yeah he’s got that Julian STW floater going right now he’s got that floater going man it was crazy Nick’s uh in control until the final fight that second quarter was not a pretty one but in the final 5 minutes

You get your starters back out there and guess who starts going off joic Murray taking over sore double for yic in the very first half he had uh was it 16 16 and 10 N9 and 10 mpj had 15 Murray had 17 that’s a big three right there 6156

Nugs and then mpj off the glass to himself in the third quarter for the putback slam and he was making so many plays this was he’s going to be a I have a feeling somebody’s going to have him as their big takeaway best sequence of the Year happened in the third quarter

If you guys recall Michael Porter shot fake tosses to yoke gets ready to cut yoke one hand catches throws it to Aaron Gordon Aaron Gordon catches one hand to kcp in the corner that’s definition of the ball is popping the Nuggets were in their bag and then another dime from

Yoke to mpj in the corner a little rainbow pass it was unbelievable but the Knicks do what they always do which is just hang around even though the Nuggets were playing beautiful basketball the Knicks never let it get fully out of control 8876 nuggets going into the

Final frame and what do you know DeAndre Jordan Jamal Murray and the bench 12-2 Run for the Knicks they sucked to start one of the worst Ben stretches of the year the Nuggets were at a Vibes Fest and then four minutes it was just four

Minutes blew it all uh leads down to two yoke comes back in and guess what happens guys immediate 70 run you bring yoke back in immediately take control the game and then I just have two notes there was a bunch of highlights one of those was joic getting an and one from

Behind the backboard man we seen guys make a shot behind the backboard but an and one Dev top of the glass he was he was in his back he was in his bag and then at the very end of the game on what was the pen penultimate possession Jamal

Murray for some reason tried to Sprint up Court split a double and rolled his ankle looks like it was one that might feel pretty bad in the morning he walk to the locker room under his own power like I don’t think it’s as bad as the

One he had earlier this season that’s my initial read I’m not a doctor Dr wind uh in the house here all right those are the notes it’s time for the Red Hawk Roofing big takeaway those fellas were in the house by the way today just for fun little lunch break always here

Little lunch break to come check it out Dev start us off what’s your big takeaway my big takeaway in this one is that big three right now is playing incredible but the play of Michael Porter Jr it is it is taken off to like a new level where he’s looking better

Than he’s ever looked um it’s not only um the fact that they’re going to him later in the game but they’re they’re running the offense through him in the fourth quarter he’s been showing up in the fourth quarter he has a chemistry with joic right now that’s growing and

And looking as good as as it’s ever been and um he’s just playing a really good stretch so the Nuggets look really good right now because Michael Porter Jr is added a new piece to them um on how to close games really good game from him really good game really good game 31

Points on 13 of 16 incredible one of his best games honestly of his career seriously and he’s been having some of his best games of his career lately like when you talk about both volume efficiency not stepping outside the lines but also doing stuff with how I know we’re going

To talk about Michael Porter later but with how he’s played coming out of the All-Star break you can’t beat this team in a seven game series with him like this you can’t not like this man not like this three of six from three kind of every night yeah

Wind my big takeaway is look I’ve watched pretty much every game Nicole yoke just played for the Nuggets all of us have watched pretty much every game he’s played in the NBA he was in one of those zones tonight he was in that rare air tonight that

Even is rare for him he has maybe like four or five games every season where his passing is at you know an alltime level where his control of the game is at an alltime level where it seems like everything is moving so slow out there for him um like I remember

That New Orleans game last year that’s what tonight felt like for me he was in total control of this game I thought Nicole yic managed this game perfectly you know how many fouls he finished with one hit a foul okay one foul Nick scored 100 points everybody I saw on Twitter

Was getting on him for his defense in the first half well what happens in the third quarter he comes out tries on defense and Nuggets hold the Nicks to 20 points he just knows how to manage every game so well and tonight to go back to

What I was saying a little earlier just the Zone he was in and how he was seeing the game I got chills I had no words for it after a while I I was blown away by how Nicole yic played tonight it was incredible to watch it’s nights like these that you

Know he’s he’s entitled to have ups and downs or something through the course of the year has very few Downs honestly he’s always almost always up but there is these other levels that he goes to where it’s just so comfortable and tonight he just was so comfortable and

He missed a lot of easy ones too it was a physical game 23 it was a physical game I mean the Knicks always bring physicality I thought the officials tonight were going to let it play and you know another thing wind about yoke tonight really good job of not losing

His cool because there were a lot of plays where you could tell yoke was like are you freaking kidding me right now especially in that second quarter or at the end of the first quarter rather there were two in a row where was like bro what are we doing here but he just

Kind of like shook his head and put his head down and when he does that he finishes with 304 and 11 he when he doesn’t allow the other stuff to creep in he finishes 304 and 11 and one turnover and he was a plus 30 and a

13-point win the passes he was making tonight the circus shots he made it was like watching God I mean I think the fact that he kept his composure is cuz he likes those type of games where they’re not calling much and he could just go out and and and

Really like play hard um this was like the most comfortable that he’s looked in a game um he was having fun out there I haven’t seen a like fun yage game in a long time where he’s I’m going to just try some crazy pass right now because

I’m in my back I’m going to shoot the ball over the rim because I’m in my back like this was this was like really one of his best games like the stats it says it without saying it like this was an incredible game from um Nicola yic but I

Just felt like he he knew that he was going to be in control the entire entire time because he was comfortable yeah he was very comfortable Porter was comfortable yokich was comfortable ball was popping tonight man ball was popping only 31 assists it was a grinded out

Game maybe a little bit slower Pace game but my big takeaway is that the nuggets have since the All-Star break it hasn’t been every single night but more often than not the ball’s been popping the ball’s been popping and I just feel like they are finding their Rhythm and their

Identity and tonight they needed it this is a good Knicks team they bring it every night you have to tip your hat I love this Nick team because they always bring it they always make you earn it uh they remind me of the Miami Heat in that

Way you have the Miami Heat you always feel like you’re dominating me you look up and you’re only up eight and you’re like yeah that’s cuz they the heat always stay connected the Knicks are that way too they’re physical they’re tough Denver kind of carved him up I

Know it was a close game I’m not trying to make it sound like it wasn’t 113 although we did say well well in the pregame show I asked you guys what would constitute a blowout we said 12 or 13 I think you said 12 or

13 so do I get credit for the blowout you get credit it was a blowout I mean but I I I think that might be a little low for a blowout personally but you think 13 not quite a blowout what is a blowout then

15 I mean I don’t know if this was a blowout if Jamal Murray was diving on the floor for like trying to split three Defenders with under minute to go and up 12 I know now to say that it was a blowout he didn’t sense it was a blowout

The blowout is when you see the g- league players get in the game yeah that’s what I think okay actually I like that you know what a blowout should be if starters are pulled garbage time even if it’s one minute minute 30 it doesn’t matter if they if the third you’re just

Like we we’ve secured the win there’s nothing much to play for um I’m still taking credit for this one because you already said for sure the the big thing about this game I I feel like we already talked about it it was the assist like this was beyond the ball is popping type

Of game this is a game that Malone and just maybe even joic could go back and just watch the film and tell everybody look how much fun we’re having when everybody is involved when everybody’s making the extra pass um when we’re getting out and running in a lot of ways

There there was a lot of missed layups a lot of missed shots in this game and they still finished with like 31 assists um joic had 11 Aaron Gordon had eight Jamal had a few more that was like left on the table that other guys just didn’t

Hit shots but that’s when Denver looks to be at their best is when they’re playing that brand of basketball so yeah this was one that they really did uh look like there was joy in playing the game totally man I mean this was a night of beautiful basketball selfless always thinking about passing

Up good shots for great shots like I watched the NBA and then I watched nuggets and I just want to cry because it’s just so beautiful compared to what every other team’s doing out there we’re just so lucky man ball was popping tonight and there were just were

So many possessions where you’re like that’s it and you know like AG had kind of a a qush night tonight 10 points he did have eight assists tonight AG did four rebounds eight assists but it was a quiet night for him kcp had six points a

Little bit of a quiet night for him but it didn’t matter cuz Murray Porter and yic and Porter and yic in particular were just so freaking good the ball was popping and it was fun they have a nice Rhythm um um Denver does we know this

And this is most teams this isn’t just Denver but Denver I think especially in the yic era they know how much it every game takes they got Portland on Saturday I don’t think you’re going to get this effort because that’s effort’s probably not going to be needed but they seem to

Know what’s needed and tonight more was needed and they had it in the reserves and they had it not just cuz yoke was dominant although that was a big part of it but they just had it in beautiful basketball when it mattered and it was cool but that’s what I was saying also

With how Nicole yic manages games and manage this game tonight I mean he didn’t give everything he had in the first half what gear was he first might have been first he he might have been in that gear below first that you go when you’re like climbing up

A steep mountain or something okay yeah L that L he was in that low gear and then you know third quarter comes around Nuggets win the quarter 2720 he has he plays great defense he got a couple steals in there or he was responsible for a couple steals I don’t

Know if he got credit for him oh he had the one yeah where he tips the ball and then Reggie gets it Reggie gets the steal yeah he knows exactly when he needs to turn it on exactly when he needs to you know shift up and it’s it’s

Beautiful it was really good man the starting five is fun and really the story I mean just to Circle back to it it’s Michael Porter 31 points and eight rebounds and 13 the 13 of 16 is what’s crazy for me de here’s the evolution of Michael Porter at first he’s such a

Great shot maker but he doesn’t know what a good shot is but he’s still ridiculously efficient for a guy that took three bad shots a game maybe four bad shots a game still ridiculously efficient but on the team it disrupted the team sometimes so he had to learn to

Scale back so he wasn’t taking bad shots and the number of good shots that came to him in a game given how he played was like 10 but he’s kind of learned how to get the extra six now off of nice cuts off of putting the ball on the floor off

Of reading the plays off of joic and now he can get 16 shots up all of them feel like they were AB absolutely deserved makes 13 of them and gets 31 points on huge efficiency it’s a really cool Evolution where he’s just become such a complete version of what Denver needs of

Him yeah I mean and the game has opened up for him he had 31 points and he only made three three-pointers like that is crazy another thing is sorry to cut you off he never forced anything tonight never forced anything and well his forcing is just a little bit different

Than other people’s forcing like that’s not a he takes tough shots easy for him it just it look it’s tough to see him forcing anything the three misses that he had all three-pointers yeah he’s opened up the rest of his game man that’s crazy he’s perfect from two he

Was perfect from two um floaters he he looks he looks like he’s like really like in tune with his body right now too he had a reverse dunk he had a off the backboard dunk to himself like that’s that’s like a higher IQ type of play of

Hey I’m stuck right here I’m going to throw it off and I’m going to finish finish it Michael Porter Jr wasn’t making those type of high IQ plays where he could throw it off the backboard to himself either he wouldn’t have caught it or he just wouldn’t have known what

Was happening with the defense the game is coming back to him where he just knows where to be what to do um in these type of situations so I just love how how good he’s playing right now because really it it just it’s a new dimension

For Denver and how to defend them it is a new dimension because right now he has an off the- dribble game that I don’t think he’s ever really had consistently in a nuggets uniform he’s looking to take his man off the bounce he’s looking

To get to the rim and when he gets there he’s cool finishing through contact and playing physical and playing strong he has good touch man through contact totally and I’m telling you I’ve been on this these last couple weeks ever since I really noticed this coming out of the

All-Star break I really feel like this version of Michael Porter might change everything think for Denver in the playoffs last year man some of the drives that Michael Porter had tonight to the rim a lot of the drives he’s had passing up you know contested threes after the All-Star break like those were

All jump shots last year especially in the playoffs against physical defenses those were all jump shots but and I know this Michael Porter’s Focus this summer was expanding his offensive game it was becoming more of a threat than just being a stand still shooter and we’re seeing that payoff and my God the

Nuggets are going to be and this is scary to even imagine they are going to be so much more dangerous as an offense with this version of Michael Porter Jr compared to the version they had last year in the playoffs not only that I want to talk

About specifically what he said at media Day this year when he was talking about what he worked on because it’s the exact stuff we’re seeing tonight we’ll talk about that on the other side guys check out Breen Ridge Brewery the craft beer of dmvr the official craft

Gambling colorado.org all right back here at segment two I want to stay on mpj because on media day if you recall he was asked what did you work on in the summer everybody’s always this the same question what did you work on in the summer and he said is handle and um and

I think when you see hear handle you think okay he’s working on his pick and roll game maybe he’s working on his ISO game and I asked him so are you looking to expand your rooll with a new handle and he said no but there are things I

Can do with a better handle within the role that this team needs for me we wanton a championship with me doing this role but they’re things that if I have a better handle I can better take advantage those things are very clearly you know attacking Closeouts y very

Clearly a little bit more of just like reading off of yoke if you catch the ball now make one two dribble moves and get to the cup that’s what’s going on right now his shot is falling that’s a big part of it but also it’s this other

Stuff to your point Dev he can go 10 of 10 from two today because it’s this other stuff he’s getting extra shots off the handle to me it’s such a great story because not only is it require self-awareness and work ethic to improve on those areas but then to gain a new

Skill that could be used for something else but have the discipline to say no I’m only going to use it in this thing that the team needs from me and now where he’s getting 31 points this is a have your cake and eat it 2 thing for

Mpj and that’s why it’s so cool to me yeah it is cool and also like it’s it’s the self aware awareness of I’m not just going to only be a catch and shoot guy um because like those small things like it’s having a pump fake one one dribble

Pullup which he looks really good doing right now which he does you know better than a lot of other guys it’s getting to the rim where you could just settle for a floater instead of having to dunk it in and put that wear and tear on your

Body um but also like uh the humility of knowing that you did not have that at first but also you don’t have to be the guard you don’t have to be the playmaker you don’t have to break guys down and ISO that answer showed like no I know

That we still have a yic we still have a uh Jamal Murray that they can you know do those type of things but if I add this part to my game it opens up the offense that much more so really we we talked about it all last year that was

The biggest thing of last year was how Michael Porter Jr bought in and he continues to buy in because it just makes Denver better um you have to love that yeah yeah the Michael Porter story is just awesome because he is clearly like adding very specific things to his game every year

It seems like last year was all about the defense I think last year was him buying in as a Defender individual and team and then the playoffs teams weren’t targeting him teams weren’t trying to get that switch every time like they did in years past this year it’s been all

About becoming a more complete offensive player and I’m just going to continue to harp on this point the Nuggets aren’t losing in the playoffs with this version of Michael Porter Jr you’re not beating the nuggets with this aggressive multifaceted versatile Michael Porter you’re just not and I feel like yol’s

Feeling it I feel like yol’s going into him more and more too yep The twom Man game with him J and yoke is kind of becoming a thing and who knows maybe we see it a game or two if if Murray’s out you might even see it a little bit more

But I feel like that connection is getting stronger and stronger what do we make of Murray’s game tonight 23 points six rebounds four assists two steals nine of 20 one of two from three I thought he had some really great moment his behind the back pass no finale oop

Tonight but the the Murray behind the back pass was basically the Ender and that was a hell of a way to end it I thought it was a great play and he also had that finish in the fourth quarter so many this game was so funny because it

Had just the feel of a regular season game in the first half and then it slowly started to ramp up it seemed like and then you know in the fourth quarter it’s like okay this is like a playoff game you know um Jamal’s Knight he scored it well you know 23

Points nine of 20 shooting four rebounds four turnovers though here’s what I’m was think well here’s what I was thinking about during this game and what I’m going to say right now this game was only close yeah because of the bench stint to start the fourth quarter yep yep nuggets would

Have cruised and it probably would have been technically a blowout with the garbage time if that bench tint didn’t go as badly as it did first four minutes of the fourth quarter a double digit lead was pretty much erased is it too much to ask Jamal

Murray to lead a bench unit to an even Point differential against the Knicks like they they got Alec Burks who at 18 Off the Bench tonight Y is that too much to ask right for Jamal Murray to lead a bench group and just break even is that like Jericho Sims

Bogdanovic aoua Burks it’s not exactly a murder’s row they play hard again it’s the Knicks they play hard we’ve seen how bad a lot of benches are throughout the league man like is that too much well so here’s the thing I don’t want to be personally too hard I’m curious what you

Think Dev I don’t want to be too hard on him tonight even though I do agree with you that there was a moment where I thought Murray one needs to take over that bench and needs to score getting locked up by Miles McBride a little bit in the post he’s getting frustrated

There and then um you know there are some points where you almost just feel like he’s okay now he’s going to try to make a point to go at him or this or that but out I don’t want to I almost feel like I’m picking n here I just feel

Like he’s at a level as a player where he should be able to do that where are you fall You’ be the judge I mean I think that he should be able to do that but I think that there’s so much asked of him and so much of kind of taken away

From his game and who he is that it becomes difficult at times because if he locks into running that unit and carrying that unit scoring it takes away from what makes him so special alongside Nicola joic in running that two cuz you want him to find that guy so like

There’s times at the game that you just like want him to snap and just be able to score yeah he’s like I don’t you know I can’t just do that every single time and that’s why it’s so important to have a really good you know backup um point

Guard so you don’t have to put so much pressure on him at at times I loved in this game that he was so aggressive he didn’t make every single shot in this game but he took a lot of shots and um this was a physical game which I also

Think that Jamal if anybody likes the physical games a little bit more um than other times I think that he kind of got aggressive and pressed on some of those shots but also you you want Jamal to take things personal you want him um to get involved and when he got tackled by

Alex Burks that was that’s when he locked in it it actually is that’s what happens every single time right it’s it when he takes the game personal is when Jamal is the best Jamal and that’s why the playoffs is so you know good for him cuz he’s so locked in he’s so he’s

Taking every possession personal um and I wouldn’t trade that right I I just wouldn’t trade that and Nugget’s now 13 and2 post All-Star break post text message yeah yeah 13 and two you can’t take it for granted man like I know what is the I think the Knicks are 15-2 with

OG in the lineup and that’s an insane number and everybody’s talking about that number this or that nuggas are 13 and two just post text message post Allstar break so they’re playing this ball that is like extremely remarkable extremely notable um and and you know nights like tonight

Against a very good team last thing on that real quick like I know he’s playing with Christian Brown Payton Watson they’re not going to give you a lot of offense individually he had DeAndre Jordan out there with them tonight but it’s Jamal Murray you know

Yeah I’m with you I’m with you and and if the Situation’s not great with that bench like the ownership of hey what do I got to do that’s this is the thing there’s a couple things that differentiate All-Star caliber Superstar caliber players from everybody else one and I remember asking Kevin Duran about

This in 2017 about nikic and he said there’s a lot of guys that could be good in spots but to be at the next level you just have to be good every single night talking of yoke and at that moment he wasn’t he did have his emotional Funk

Games he had this or that yoke very quickly became good every night and we’ve seen it I don’t know if Murray can do that or not but the other part of it is the team becomes yours that second unit is yours and look Murray has taken

Over this team in the spots you know obviously with yoke and this or that I’m unassailable in those ways but that bench unit it kind of is on him Malone is going to roll him out there he needs to figure out it is on him to get

Everybody to do what it is if it’s like okay I’ve got to score what do you need from these guys to make it easier for you to score what do you got to do because right now a 12-2 run in the fourth quarter tonight the Nuggets

Survived it but they’re not going to be able to survive it all the time let’s talk about the other guys though Christian Brown and pton Watson again project Dynasty Dev kind of a not very noteworthy night from those two yeah I don’t think that the bench played

Well like at all I think that Reggie was the only one that was decent in this game but that’s that’s what needs to come along because we all know um how good the Nuggets starters are we know that there’s not a starting you know unit in the league that could beat this

Team for you know four games and and they’re going to have to play the the the starting for a long time in those but you also need those stretches you need those relief so when somebody doesn’t have it going on if a Michael Porter J Jamal don’t you know make all

Those shots then then what happens if Nicola yic doesn’t go Godly um you need someone else to step up and give you that energy um and just something extra and I feel like the bench didn’t have that extra um this game looked to be a little bit too physical for them um so

You just kind of want them to not only like find that identity just but just to have that energy that like Hypes the other guys up um and it was lacking tonight I think you’re right I’m liking what I’ve seen out of Reggie Jackson over the last couple of

Games six assists two turnovers against Minnesota but he was a big positive in that game tonight four assist one turnover it’s nothing that we’re going to like plan a parade about right but he hasn’t been a huge negative I feel like in these last couple of games like he

Was you know for the last couple of months largely that I think is trending up um but also man I feel like time is up with the bench we’re at that point in the season we can see the Finish Line like what could really happen we’re not going

To have some like miraculous Revelation about the Nugget second unit this is what it is yeah we know it’s going to be cut down in the playoffs we’ve tried to mix and match and stagger All Season it never really worked yeah just like it never really worked last

Year but that’s how I feel like we’re going to be heading into the playoffs the last note I have is just DeAndre Jord tonight 9 minutes was a minus5 I I have nothing against DeAndre he’s not he does his role on this team perfectly well his role is to be the

Mentor veteran bench presence I do always get annoyed whenever I hear people clamoring for More DJ minutes and it’s always like when Zeke’s playing poorly it’s like put DJ in there I’m and my thought is always you guys know it’s going to be the same with DJ right like

That’s going to be the exact same thing tonight was one of those nights where it was like these get you forget these and then the next night Zeke plays poorly people like put DeAndre in or next time you need rebounding it’s like put him out there it’s not how it works man

DeAndre Jordan had one board tonight when he was really bad when teams play five out run pick and roll and play like that the big man is not in the rebound position he’s out there so that that’s just why I I bring it up is tonight I’m

Not trying to pile on him but minus 15 and N minutes is really horrible and he just this wasn’t a game he could have should have played in but he had to because nuggets had no other option yeah the thing is they people feel that you’re you’re answering a question when

You say put DeAndre Jordan in you need rebounding but also there’s so many other flaws there’s so many like red flags on the back end of you’re going to be just finding a new hole to fill um and he brings that out um and I think a

Lot of it is like the going against Nagi thing just because of how he’s been up and down throughout the season um he wasn’t available in this game um this game still didn’t call for DeAndre Jordan this yeah what would they’ have done though you just go to the playoff

Rotation with Gordon tough yeah or you just I don’t know you stagger it Aaron Gordon at the five like we’ve been saying that and we’re going to see a lot of that in the in the playoffs that is going to be the rotation um so you give

It another look just because of you know what that represents I guess um but yeah I I mean I don’t think that DeAndre played enough for it to be a horrible game but it was not good and no one in that unit really looked good to me yeah

They were up he was going he was going n he is melting down there oh man fingers crossed for super producer kill um let’s talk about these highlights we have to go back to be reminded and help me out chat I want help with this I said this

Was the greatest highlight let’s list them off all right joic behind the back board and one pretty good no it’s not number one just I just list I got to start listenting the Nia yic behind the neck passed to Aaron Gordon he lured Josh Hart in Josh Hart was like getting

Ready like as soon as he dribbles I’m going to go and y’s like I know one dribble just to get him and then throws it dude that pass that pass was some dark magic Harry Potter [ __ ] that was insane he saw it he baited him he was like

Oh so easy man then he also had another one of those I think it was Dante de venzo in the corner where he did a fake dribble spun right as he was coming knowing he was going to be there and makes the pass I mean that that’s that’s

Very healthy in the Nicole yic pass yeah he had to spin to the rim like the reverse spin finish at The Rim now was that was pretty good too yoke and Murray had a bunch of Lefty finishes man like three of them no it might have been the

Record the skip pass to Michael Porter Jr in the corner that one that one was probably top yeah uh mpj off the glass to himself what yeah that was tough it took us a while to get to it but that doctor the Michael Porter Jr like reverse dunk like through the lane yeah

The Euro reverse Jamal Murray’s finish that’s right he did have that reverse which was the Jamal Murray finish uh the one where he like it was almost like a weir it was almost like we’re ready for this 2.0 under the rim there were just so

Many and then yoke even the K Kell is losing it down there but do you remember uh I’m sure we missed a bunch like I’m trying to remember exactly how many of them how many other ones there were I’m going have to go back and like clip the

One the one ball is popping possession that’s what I was just about to say the one that ended with uh kcp 3 Aaron Gordon yeah cuz already jokic’s pass to him was already an incredible pass he went out of his way to make the extra pass yeah what much just highlight after highlight

Man um it was insane it really was insane man the nuggets are in their bag any thoughts here real quickly just on March M I will say this every March Madness to me is like summer league every year I get so hyped I’m so pumped

And then game one comes out and guy like dribble off his shoe then fall over game one was literally CSU Virginia that was that was a rough watch that was a rough watch I was on a watch N I saw somebody in the chat saying am I the

Only one that doesn’t like March Madness here’s the thing thing the basketball’s terrible and I still love it man it’s the drama it’s the close games that are terrible games yeah but you live for the drama I mean the atmospheres too it’s been a little tough for me to get into it this

Year the product seems a little worse than it’s been in years past well you don’t know the guys as well as you have in years past that’s what that I was going to say is my Big takeway it feels like there was typically more NBA guys

Like you feel like that there was a lot more names that you were like hey we got to watch this guy that’s going to light it up all the standout players from today were all like Off the Bench or just like under like under the radar

Type of players Kentucky has two top 10 picks and they lost yeah that’s right to Oakland yeah which is in Michigan yeah Oakland crazy bro so you know that some of these schools become the test ground for the new way of playing or for like an experimental way of playing some of

These colleges little schools Oakland has a style of playing where they have one guy he’s they just determine him and he’s awesome he doesn’t take twos he only takes threes and when he touches the ball it goes up yeah he’s like Duncan Robinson but more on H but that

Dude he so for the year he took 3 like 40 three-pointers he took eight two pointers that’s insane on the year on the year I want to see all eight of those how’ they get up it’s got to be a fast break yeah rule was you could not

Shoot layups like when you touch it you let it fly that’s eight leak outs he had a leak out he also I think he play like four or five years of like Duco basketball or something oh there are some guys in college that have played

Like six years I want the Nuggets to do this with M PJ I want it to be if you touch the ball behind the three-point line just shoot it man we just spent the whole show talking about his expanded offensive game I want to go back to PJ

Just taking crazy that dude took insane threes man yeah um it was fun but yeah I’m with you this is one of those days that kind of reminded me just how much I do I love the love the NBA speaking of which skill level is just freaking

Insane speaking of which can we do a bridged ATA cuz there’s a couple games that I’m curious about for tonight so dead why don’t you take can on a very can we we can today okay let’s do it a bridged ATA we haven’t done one in a

While so we’re just going to go teams that are like West like that have West CO well I kind of want to know about this Pelicans game fine we’re just going to go yeah I mean they’re a West Team all right I should say I want to hear about

This magic game is what I want to hear about all right so well the Kings the Kings lost you’re the worst okay 102 to 109 to the Washington Wizards the kings are the second night of a backto back but they lost to the Wizards I don’t

Think it matters if you’re on the second night of a back toback yeah this this is a wild game um sabonis only well I mean he had 14 points 14 rebounds he just had crazy uh uh triple double they put him in the game they

Were up like 35 and they put him in the game it was then they took him out and put Fox in I was like all right they they’re they’re I know what they’re over there doing man like I everybody knows um what’s happening um but I mean that’s

That’s wild to me K kma had 31 points um the Pelicans next the Pelicans lose to the Orlando Magic my Orlando Magic underrated Orlando Orlando Magic my Orlando Magic 121 106 Trey Murphy had 21 points to lead all of the Pelicans players wow that’s crazy Brandon Ingram only played 21

Minutes in this game he got hurt why did he only play 21 minutes yikes a hyperextension it was like bad looking out for the year honestly no it was pretty bad he couldn’t get up like it was it was bad I haven’t seen the Highlight but I saw people talking about

It on the timeline as hey we’re going to have to hold our breath on this one yeah that that one’s one like hopefully everything comes back clear but it was like a like his leg actually J there’s only like three weeks left in the regular season yeah Zion Williamson had

20 points7 rebounds he had been playing well um eight turns to this point but yeah eight turnovers um B had 20 points 11 assists 10 rebounds he had a triple double that doesn’t happen often jayen sucks had 22 points Off the Bench he’s been playing well um off the [ __ ] Gary

Is still holding down a starting spot for the magic this really incredible but that was yeah that was a real um that I mean that was a real injury the Pelicans man if they if they lost Ingram like let’s just look at the standings here for a second if Ingram

Was out for an extended period of time they are currently the five seed and are kind of a Cinderella story because they’re a game and a half ahead of Dallas and two games essentially ahead of Sacramento that’s a good cushion for this late in the season but if you lose

Ingram I’ll are off at that point don’t you think you don’t think there could be any Ying Theory potential with this wow they do have a lot of great wings I think more minutes for Trey Murphy really yeah man I kind of was thinking it as well

But I didn’t want to I didn’t want to be too hot taky I hated GP is that my that my guy to continue going around the association the Houston Rockets get their seventh straight win seven straight for Houston Rockets they suck suck at tanking they beat the Bulls they suck 127

117 um Jaylen green had 26 points um to lead all of war and Lakers better watch out they really they really like they’re only two and a half games back of the Warriors and playing really well right now um I haven’t heard I haven’t heard

The Shang goon name in a long time I don’t think he played in this game so like they’re winning without sh no don’t you remember he fell and folded his leg into four pieces oh no I did not you didn’t see that one oh my God it

Happened I don’t know a week or a little bit ago and he had one and somehow didn’t tear anything but it was like his knee went the other direction for a second it looks so great then his ankle went the other direction everything folded and then I was like okay he tore

Every he did the Sha Livingston and then it came back he had no tears man God bless thatan um guess we have 14 points European blood man guess we have 14 points Jeff GRE Jeff Green leads this team into the play in after the on an 11 game win

Streak or whatever that’s wild to see um to lead all scores in this game dumo that’s wild 35 points shouts to CHL that that’s unreal like he’s such a good Defender that you don’t see these type games from him but he I mean he’s playing really well the Dallas Mavericks

Win 113997 over the Utah Jazz the Jazz are in full tank mode it really doesn’t matter they’re they’re getting it but the chemistry that is building with Luca and Kyrie Irvin we haven’t heard much about that lately about how they playing with each other um no they love playing

With each other they actually like it we even saw Ali oop from Luca to Kyrie Irving where he dunked it can you imagine if Jamal threw an oop to yoke no that’ actually be dope we got to get one that would be insane the Luka to Denver

Rumors have quieted for now quieted for now yeah Kyrie Irvin was a plus 37 L at 34 points nine rebounds eight assists Daniel gaffer 10 of 11 from the field 24 points seven rebounds that’s what that guy does they’re finding things out like over there um he’s

Playing so well that they have Lively Off the Bench not playing much I go back and forth every day between who I think is the best of the rest I know you do and it pisses me off it’s cuz they’re all the same I know I feel like every

Week you’re on a new team and every week I’m saying I’m not worried about them I I will tell you this it was the Pelicans this injury though throws a wrench at them it was the Pelicans they were playing very well the suns are up right

Now 9693 over the Hawks who really don’t have anything to play for anymore what do you well say this Isaiah Thomas what do you guys make of this Isaiah Thomas back do you is it does it warm your heart to see a little bit I’m happy for Isaiah

Thomas like that’s tough to get back into the league after the injuries he’s been through absolutely at his age at his size but it’s a God awful signing for the sons yeah he’s that’s like one of the like that’s my homie type of signings like every Everybody in the

League loves Isaiah Thomas in his story and what he’s been through and also like he’s a person that UPS everybody like he’s OG that like everybody loves he’s a great teammate absolutely and and he has that story he’s he’s a he’s a true Hooper he wants to play at all times

Doesn’t matter the settings um so yeah I I root for Isaiah Thomas like the person yeah I’m I think it’s really awesome that he got back but I just think this is going to be a disaster for Phoenix I mean we know the Isaiah Thomas experience like he he’s apparently not

Going to be in the rotation they’re going to lose some games every fans going to be clamoring for him to play like we know how this goes can we pull up the espo I’m G to have to send this to TI we have to pull up the espo Tweet

About Bobo he had a tweet he’s my guy I’m not even trying to rag on on him he was being honest he there was a tweet he said of like if all of the Suns players can just play as hard as B bow we’ll be good and I was thinking man that’s the

Worst that’s the worst I can’t imagine being like hey we need yoke Murray and AG to be play as hard as bubo does well that’s the scary thing is like if Bo bowl is the one that’s giving you the effort what does that say about your

Your big three and your starters BR like that’s that’s scary cuz he his big thing is about not having effort legler legler not very frustrated at Kevin Durant and the Suns team he was been he’s been going in on the all NBA show for them for that reason he’s like these guys

Even care they act like they don’t care most of the time it’s crazy I think it’s underr there’s an underrated thing in the NBA where when stars know they don’t have a squad when they know they don’t have a championship Contender they just don’t have that extra gear all season I

Think that’s what happened with LeBron this season yeah he just knew he didn’t have the team and he knew they weren’t going to make any moves to potentially get that team you think the suns are that way I think there’s some of that with Kevin Durant Kevin Duran’s like not

I think he probably just senses it it’s interesting man it’s interesting at least let’s take our final break on the other side super chats let’s head home do we not get BR and vote from the arena oh that’s right has he has he written is he coming what’s going on here do we

In a single season in nuggets history in nuggets history and he’ll be the first to get to 200 knock on wood cuz now he only needs seven seven more so that’s kind of another cool little plateau uh to reach Dell Ellis is behind him he did

It in the 97 season the line was shorten that year to me it’s a little weird to say cuz the those threes weren’t quite normal number three is Randy Foy that’s embarrassing that’s the wildest thing I’ve ever heard man that is insane Randy Foy in 2014 I mean those were the

Darkest years of the Nuggets nuggets didn’t have three-point Shooters they just had buckets holy number four is also Michael Porter it was last season number five is J.R Smith that tracks number six is Jamal Murray last season 172 number seven is Michael Porter again

So he is in three of the top 10 already and basically how many seasons he’s been healthy you know five basically so I mean he’s already the greatest shooter in nuggets history it’s not close then you got Michael Adams two years in a row and then Jamal Murray’s 18 season

Um Murray needs to make his way into this as well I mean so a lot of this is about health it’s about his availability honestly like it’s hard this is a cumulative right and he’s misses if you miss 20 games 15 games a year it’s hard to catch that up so

That’s one of the things about Mike that’s kind of cool right where is he at though right now uh threep pointers made the season 126 so where is he at on the standing I think he eclipsed his dunk total from last year tonight who did Michael or

Tied it really how many dunks did he have tonight I don’t know two or three really yeah that’s actually he had the back off the backboard he had the reverse dunk that’s meaningful cuz you’re right if you go dunks by year his rookie year is 31 sophomore year was 75

The year after that famously too like and him not being able to dunk was like loud that’s how we knew something was wrong then 39 last year 36 that’s meaningful man well 36 coming in right so he had at least two tonight that’s that’s just to me almost as meaningful

As the threes yeah I mean he’s healthy he’s got some athleticism back like we spent all the show talking about he’s attacking the rim with a ton of confidence right now so all right so this is the regular season version of him Dev what do we think will be

Different about him in the playoffs Michael Porter that how defensive defenses um try to guard him you think like I don’t I don’t think it’s just hey like just kind of get close and then make him uncom fortable like now they have to actually like fear Him pulling

Up fear a floater fear Him finishing at The Rim it’s not just three I feel like it was kind of easy to guard him if he’s only shooting threes and then also he’s inconsistent with the threes like they kind of disappeared um in the playoffs

Or in the finals if they can’t do that or even if they disappear he has other parts of his game where I think that defenses are to have to defend them differently also I feel like they used to put not good Defenders on them M they

Have to like guard him now or he’s going to light you up for 31 yeah yeah I think the game plan against Michael Porter is going to be the same as it’s been in past years yeah get physical teams are going to try to get physical try to

Rattle him try to bump him off his spot but he’s more equipped now way more equipped now than he’s ever been to handle that I don’t think that stuff is going to affect him nearly as much as it did last year and it really only gots him in the final

Right people forget Michael Porter was shooting the ball great all playoffs until the finals and the Conference Finals in particular really really well he was dead eye all playoffs long until you know the finals started so I just think like how his season is going and we’ve talked about how just the nuggets

Season is unfolding it feels perfect doesn’t it for like in what way just ramping into the playoffs oh yeah I mean I’m tell you other than Jamal Murray spring his ankle the Nuggets were locked in in their execution and stuff I thought tonight with with some of the

Stuff but I I agree with you that yoke was in a lower gear you know Murray was in a lower gear and those kind of things but it’s nice that they can find that rhythm with another one and I was even talking to some people with the team

Yesterday or the day before just asking you know a general sense and one of the things I heard over and over again from different people was I still feel like there’s another level for this team like yeah 13 and two is cool but I feel like there’s another level for these guys and

That’s what’s exciting about it it’s just what we saw in you know most of the second half tonight outside of the bench stint to start the fourth quarter yeah like they can get to that level against anybody they can get to that level against any defense where they’re either getting you know a

Wide open three or a dunk every time down well we wait for vote why don’t we start to work on these super chats here well how many do we have there 19 who wants I’ll read them I could see well ashtray says Super Chat it’s fully official mpj has rightfully regained his

Spot as the three of the big three no arguments will be had #y Mike # Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike here’s what I’ll say man we have a big four that’s I was going to say I don’t think you bump AG out of the big three I think you bump

Mpj into the big four yeah I agree with that and honestly it’s a big five kcp does his job at a high level as well man but you are right the sentiment is correct I mean post All-Star break Michael Porter probably been their third best player yeah thank you for the Super

Chat what a guy a dog and a GoPro says Mikey Mike and the Funky Bunch lfg Mike I like it I’ll take it he looks like he was in a a ’90s yeah pop R&B band so it works uh CJ D Line’s best friend James says or Jones says starters 100o milk

Bang Porter forter oh I like it the porter forter I forgot about that unrelenting the lightning is coming all the nuggets are good nine more wins to finish out the regular season nine more of them thanks little milk bang what do you think of milk bang is

Tiff you don’t want to guess what a milk bang is you want if you go on only fans it’s wild it’s yeah oh you should check it out you should check it out all right what else we got uh funny daddy project $20 he says who should get more minutes CB or AG

AG I are we missing a joke on this one I don’t know are we missing a joke all right I don’t know I think was easy I would answer AJ I think CB tonight was too focused on March Madness if we’re being honest big college guy Wyatt says

Coach Malone coach milker Malone Michael milker Jr Jamal milker and M Mila yic squeezed the hell out of the Knicks tonight great win y’all great oh man great super that great Super Chat saying that why that was a great Super Chat why are they saying that they probably won

On only fans that’s right what else we got votes burner oh my gosh vote no wonder he hasn’t made it to the show yet remember when we said if they unlock mpj the league better watch out well they did it Elite thre level score rebounder and good Defender watch out dude it’s so

Dope man that might actually be votes burner that actually actually did sound like votes mder that that seems like a hold on so tonight I’ve seen a vote account I’ve seen a dline account and I’ve seen an Adam account there’s an Adam account you have a oh the bird

Watching with Adam hell yeah I think he might be in the chat here let’s see funny daddy project says how many assist to Porter were from Murray versus Joker um it’s a good question I don’t know off the top of my head yeah I don’t

Know I mean it’s the ball is popping so I would think a bunch I’ll have to go back and see yeah I don’t know I don’t know if there was a point to like you know you’re trying to imply something I don’t know oh man look at this B this

One here from Canada RP 43 says why does Jamal not have a two-man game with mbj or anyone else during nonic minutes so much ISO ball again I think it’s by Design I just think it’s a bad design and I think this is part look Murray’s

On his own Journey as a player of learning things and I do think part like this next step and maybe it doesn’t even happen till next year it’s take ownership of that group and get them to be the thing that you need them to be to accomplish the goal cuz everyone’s

Looking to you what do you need from us what do we need need us to do yeah it wouldn’t even make sense for it to be a Michael Porter Jr Jamal cuz they it’s a lot of their stuff is like in pick and roll if you get off a Michael Porter

Junior’s guy you’re probably going to get a better defender or like a taller Defender if you’re Jamal I think that’s why it works so well with jic you you get a center on you so like there’s a mismatch both ways where the defense is

Having to think um plus I I I mean I think that you’re going to get a quicker guy on Michael Porter J that’s not a good Advantage all right they got a find something though uh 5555 is says my red hawk Roofing Circa 365 manscape Circle K

Volo illegal pets All City bre Brew fubo TV Miller Light big takeaway is that I will never get tired of watching this team play basketball great Super Chat and also shout to all of our all of our homies screen grab that one send that one to the sales team let them know the

Homies love it the homies are more homies on the way uh C Exquisite 199 says oh that’s right stay truly number one blue arrow Joker I can’t see my eyes aren’t that good there’s pton Watson locked down locked down Brown Michael Michael Malone has to be the Chain man I’m not going to

Lie to you man I can’t solve these 50 that’s AG Mike that’s got to be Mike Porter yeah there we go we did itals two time there we go let’s go Ethan says most improved Porter Jr I like it most improved Porter junor a new one to add Elijah says second most

Rebounds after joic Michael border Jr I that’s what we talked about tonight on who’s going to eat he’s got to hit the board impress with Mike you know what’s cool about this AG comes here sacrifices a lot and then becomes everybody’s giving him all these accolades they’re

Giving him all this praise Michael Team USA Michael Porter reduces his role do this everybody’s giving him flowers like there’s it’s cool when you get rewarded for doing the right thing what else we got absolutely keep an eye out for vote $20 funny daddy project says thank

You dmvr keep up the great work bringing the best to the fans we love you man we appreciate that man we love you too he put in the slack running over now at 10:34 what time is it now 10:41 7 Minute run for that’s a mile he

Read a mile yeah that’s impressive uh what else we got a guy a dog and a GoPro says everybody call in sick to work tomorrow do it co is back and the nuggets are still the best team in the NBA is that a March Madness Joe I think

It might be or just telling people to be safe here do we have vote just getting ready I love that we’re on vote watch we’re definitely going to end uh Josh parette from down says happy March Equinox things looking so bright right now is it really The Equinox did I

Sleep on the Equinox here did this happen to be in my sleep I’m too busy right now it’s like spring now right this would be disappointing if you did it’s it is either yesterday today or tomorrow yeah it was to Tuesday I was going to say it was pasted votes that

He’s trying to connect oh my God you got to be kidding me uh what else we got super dope hip hop says mpj number one 2017 for a reason it’s true he was number one recruit in that class fell to 14 because of health or top five lock

Conly mvgm last decade LBJ MJ bird yic hakee my alltime starting five unbeatable I’m telling you man Tim Conley drafting Michael Porter Jr was the ultimate like bet the house on a on a thing and if it breaks great if not we’re got to find a new career got to

Find a new field well lucky for us it’s hit man because that guy people have asked me before where does Michael Porter go in that draft if he’s healthy I think two by and Luca was it the Luca draft well it was the Luca draft but Aon went

One so you think Luca goes one no I think eighton goes one Porter goes two and Luca goes three still no I’m saying if Porter was Health he was healthy like without knowing anything else oh I see I see okay not a redraft just if it were

Happening yeah it could be I mean the guy Nate Duncan told me he was the greatest high school player he’d ever watched so wow he watched him at the Nike hoop Summit and just said he dominated everyone uh what else we got Basher D says 20 years an NBA fan

Ever seen inadvertent whistle did that happened tonight and sometimes at the bar you can’t tell they call well when he got tackled there was the Murray tackle that was called that should be a tackled I don’t know when the Inver whistle was I missed it at the bar we can’t hear I’ve seen

One before especially with kale screaming about uh his his Drake his Drake Mr Tempo says sounds like kale needs a drink he does definitely not need a drink had a drink needs a we got to go we got to go help our our homie man he’s still here yeah he’s oh

God yeah they’re still we’re actually still live for our stream uh what else we got he’s suffering Ryan morai says pretty sure they said over the PA after the Jamal and won we need some milk there’s no way that would be incredible though I got taged that didn’t makes

Sense I got tagged in it like three times really I think it’s just cuz he did like the the strong thing all right well we’re going to take credit for it they said we need some milk bag what else we got oh no way don’t tell me it’s Chuck

Dickw Well’s burner sharing some of the bet 365 20 piece bet 365 winning from tonight with the boosted parlay read an interesting study today according to a new poll 91% of people are satisfied with their lives the other 9% are Lakers fans boom roasted he he’s been doing that lately

He had one last time of like they won the championship and then turned off the Xbox or something like that I read that same and it said 0.1% were Suns fans oh I love it uh who else we got Ryan B he says two two bucks these $2 are for kale

Rip Drake we’ll let him know we’ll give him those $2 he’ll appreciate them and then lastly the boy’s dad 13-2 nuggets are two miss baskets away from 15-0 it’s so true yep can you imagine if the the hype it’s almost a good thing it’s almost a good thing thep would be out of

Control 15 and0 the hype would have been out like insane what do you think the narrative would be just like why even play the playoffs yeah yeah honestly those two Les losses keep them keep things a little not under the radar Denver’s the favorite but yeah a little

Mysterious but I mean not that far up really isn’t um is vote not coming I don’t know while we’re while we’re waiting for him I mean we could probably discuss like Jamal Murray yeah looked like a tweaked ankle left ankle I think but he did walk

Off under his own power I don’t think it’s a big uh I don’t think it’s a serious one that was my read on it yeah I don’t think it was a serious one but also you’re playing against who do they play on Saturday Port Port think do you

Press that like you don’t really I mean I’m the guy who didn’t want him to play when he hurt his ankle last time um so I’d say no but I don’t think this is like a lengthy absence you know you still are that one game separating you

Though from Minnesota so all these games matter I do think Denver should be able to beat Portland though pretty handily without him so you know yeah he walked to locker room under his own power I think he’s fine like I wouldn’t be surprised if he did play against

Portland to be honest I was a little shocked about hard he was playing like late in the game like that but still nothing it could be just like a thing of still trying to work yourself into like that type of shape cuz he was he went

All out on that rebound and the game was like over he he turned up after he got tackled he did like that was he turned up into playoff Murray after that play and he was just going 100 miles per hour the rest of the game we got to see him

Screaming he says you’re waiting for host is he in the wrong one did you send him a link I just s another one try the new one let’s see if he gets this uh a guy a dog and a GoPro says life is too good uh-oh Kansas might lose

Oh CHR Brown is going to be in this game look at the score that’s crazy Sam wild where’s Samford located Dev what you don’t know so how you going ask me I was going to say isn’t that the office that’s the for office I think that was Stamford though really not

Stamford I think that was stord I would guess Virginia vot’s got like one minute here he’s got one minute before I think we have to bounce on this one I’ve been awake I’ve been I’ve been 14 hours is it Alabama Sanford Homewood Alabama that’s wild um coach Bucky McMillan do we have him

Private university they are private they’re in the Southern Conference they did I just realize have we had the the Raptors up top the whole time is he coming in yeah we have there he is oh my God is that really him are you outside of the

Parking lot no no I’m in the arena but they’re playing a game in here and they’re playing music and it’s just way too loud so I did my I’m actually at the bar I don’t know if I’m supposed to be here you know the bar on the second

Level I’m just hanging out so all right walk us through it’s been a long one vote walk us through these notes quickly all right let’s get you out of here Michael Malone on Michael Porter Jr uh he said he can go to Cabo whenever he wants at this point and Malone will pick

Up the tab he say totally fine by him this guy says thing the mpj Cabo trip Michael’s game right now is firing on all cylinders Malone said and he he talked at more length just about how good Mike’s been as as far as the team goes he was really impressed by the way

Denver met the physicality of this game he spoke pregame about how they need to have a physical mindset against the Knicks even if they’re missing guys and he’s his first thought was that he loved the way they played particularly the rebounding again Nicks are missing guys but they’re a great rebounding team a

Great defensive team and he just thought the defending champs played the way they needed to tonight cavius calwell Pope got the defensive player the game Chan for his work on on uh Jaylen Brunson and Michael Mull said after the game that he really hopes the national audience and

Media are picking up on this he says the work hope puts in every single night is so impressive and that in their eyes in Denver he’s obviously a first team all defensive kind of player Michael Porter Jr spoke with us and he said he’s very proud of this single season three-point record because

It’s a record that has to do with availability he says that’s the part that he’s most proud of and he talked a lot about how much healthier he is right now how good his body is feeling and how that just hasn’t always been the case he

Because it’s just not easy man there are some nights where you just don’t feel that good there are some nights where there’s just a a little something feeling off or going wrong um but he feels really good right now and he says that that stretch has a lot more to do

Than just his hard work he goes there’s a little bit of luck in there as well um he talked about his faith but he’s definitely feeling healthy right now moving well and Porter guys he sounds as confident as he looks he also talked a bit about the game slowing down for him

And how he’s just just feels a little more comfortable out there particularly the way he’s been scoring inside the ark and from mid-range he said that’s not a conscious effort it is organic growth that happens in the league with repetition and the more he’s played the

More the game has slown down for him he also said he’s thinking the game more he says he’s thought a lot more about where he should set himself up on the nights when yic is probably getting double teamed when he isn’t he says more preparation has gone into his game than

Seasons passed presumably this kind of preparation film thinking the game Porter was great man he was great with the media just as he was on the floor I’ll leave you with this guy he said he’s noticed the stealth rule changes he definitely feels like the refs are letting things fly and then he

Said he likes it you never catch him complaining to refs about the calls he said he does not mind the no calls and that brings me guys to the one take I wanted to get off before I left Michael Porter Jr is having his best stretch of

The Season maybe the best stretch of his career at a time when the league is more physical than it’s been in the last five or six years they have clearly changed the rules it’s harder than it’s been for off offensive players to score in some

Time and I bring this up because one of the early criticism of Mike is how does he perform in those physical matchups against those teams that push him around just consider guys that he’s having the best stretch of his career when the game has never been more physical thriving

During these rule changes and he led all players in scoring tonight while taking the fourth most shots of any player on the floor a ridiculous performance from a guy who’s really coming to his own uh right on time here the team’s hype for him too you know what I mean that’s what

I’m getting from you I mean is that what you feel being there yeah I mean Malone look I I’m I’ve joked with you guys how maybe Malone sometimes is almost reluctant to give Porter maybe the same kind of Praise that I would he just handles it a little differently but man

He was uh he was really proud of him tonight like he was really excited to talk about him and take it and run with it and how could you not be I mean he’s just I think you tweeted out tonight Adam it’s not just that he’s scoring

He’s really just never played better at an all-around level finally on Jamal Murray you guys saw him turn that ankle a little bit Malone did not have much to say just said his turned his ankle that’s all we got sometimes he’ll give you a little bit more on injury updates

Particularly when he’s feeling well um for whatever reason tonight he just left it real simple he said Murray turn that ankle that’s something to keep an eye on obviously left the game a bit early he was back there with his shoes off before anyone but but uh you know ankles are no

Fun but oh by the way I thought Jamal was great tonight not in the statistical way maybe but the way he played in a physical game after the first couple of drives he was looking around for the calls and you could almost see him figure out that they weren’t going to

Come and that he just had to be physical and he had a couple of drives where he lowered his shoulder and he said if this is how we’re doing it I’m ready for it Denver stars tonight were ridiculous guys did he make you say that did he is

He standing right there is he is he holding yeah noal Jamal did not speak tonight very normal night at work for your boy uh I’m just uh really enjoying the way the stars played guys really good stuff in front of the home crowd um there and we did not have much sound

What was it like cuz this felt like one of the most highlight driven games for the Nuggets like how do how was that in the arena totally man the vi was awesome and you know Nicks fans travel well and a lot of these Coastal teams travel well

But over the years since I’ve been here fellas it gets a little bit better in Denver’s favor every year and tonight was a good example a bunch of Knicks fans in the building very loud but not nearly the majority and at one point they tried to get an MVP chant going for

Jaylen Brunson while he was at the line and Nuggets fans immediately shut that [ __ ] down just drowned it out in booze uh only to give a much more loud and resounding one when yic went to the line fun atmosphere felt like a playoff game all those highlights really popped and

Yic was just ridic ridiculous too I’d be remiss not to mention how dope those passes looked in person it was I mean yeah the Knicks are missing some guys but you got to see if you were in the building tonight you got to see the Nuggets do nugget stuff and that’s

Always a real treat yeah man well right about it in the grades we’ll see it tomorrow we all read it up on the dvr.com later buddy two more Super chats at the buzzer you can cue the outro music we have a dog a guy a dog and a

GoPro and he says life is too good this guy is right now I love it man must be a Kansas fan that’s crazy plays right here the guy a dog and a GoPro says I’m serious write the out of office email and call in sick I’ll see you at dmvr for March

Mads hell yeah come say hi tomorrow man it’s going to be awesome all right I’ve been live for all of my waking hours I got to go home everybody everybody thanks for hanging with us we’ll do it again tomorrow on the live stream check it out and then

  1. Pwat seems to have hit a wall. Whether it is energy or disengagement, idk, but he has slowly faded away in recent games. Hopefully he gets to take a break for a game or two

  2. Great game, enjoyed this … good guys win with serious highlights and gritty play – man, opponents can saw an arm off and the refs still aren’t sure if it’s a hard foul

  3. I went to first nuggets game this year with my brother who is a Knicks fan. But we sat behind Vogt and saw him a couple times as he was walking up the alley. I was to far in the stand to pop out and say what’s up.

  4. I get Adam commenting his takes on games but what is the point of Dev doing ATA when he’s saying “8 TOs” “a triple double” before he even finishes a statement

  5. This game had horrible officiating and if not for that, the Nuggets’ starters could have been chilling on the bench at the end. The “inadvertent whistle” was blown when Murray had already thrown the ball down court for a 1 on 0 — I just cannot remember who would have been doing the catching. The “take foul” they called was whistled after Porter had already dunked the ball and the refs wiped out the basket (although it worked out with a subsequent Jokic basket). Jokic got fouled time and again with no call, or they’d call it but decide it was on the floor after Jokic had scored without any dribble. The Nuggets had to play though some awful officiating in that game.

  6. We are lucky to get this nuggets team. I moved to Denver in 1998 from Chicago. This type of basketball is in that same stratosphere.
