Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show.

This episode dives into a huge statement win for the Denver Nuggets against the Spurs, where Denver finally cleaned up the exact issues Liv has been calling out all season—defense, turnovers, and free throws. If this version of the Nuggets shows up consistently, they’re a serious championship threat.

Plus, Liv reacts to the breaking news of Michael Malone heading to the University of North Carolina and what that transition from NBA to college could look like.

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show.

In this episode, Liv dives into the ever-changing MVP race, highlighting why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has emerged as the frontrunner while Nikola Jokic continues to quietly put together another historic season. With Luka Doncic’s injury shaking things up and other contenders like Jaylen Brown and Cade Cunningham entering (and exiting) the conversation, the question becomes: what does “MVP” even mean anymore?

Liv also gets real about the frustrations surrounding officiating, free throw disparities, and the overall evolution of the game—while still giving credit where it’s due to SGA’s dominance on both ends of the floor.

From there, it’s a quick look at the current playoff picture in both conferences, including key matchups, potential upsets, and why certain teams (like the Spurs and Hawks) feel a little more dangerous than expected.

Finally, Liv explains why this postseason could be all about Jamal Murray. With a career year already under his belt, could “Playoff Jamal” somehow reach another level—and what would that mean for the Denver Nuggets’ title chances?

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show.

The Denver Nuggets are rolling with a 6-game win streak at the perfect time—but are they truly ready for a deep playoff run?

On this episode of Mood Swings, Liv Moods breaks down Denver’s late-season surge, their tight race with the Lakers for playoff seeding, and why defense remains the biggest concern heading into the postseason. Plus, Liv dives into the confusing “Big Val” situation, the importance of keeping Nikola Jokic fresh, and why Tim Hardaway Jr. has officially become her favorite Nugget—and a potential X-factor for a championship push.

She also tackles the ultra-tight MVP race, the impact of the 65-game rule, and why Luka Doncic might deserve the nod.

Can the Nuggets’ elite offense make up for their defensive gaps? And will they prove themselves against OKC and the Spurs down the stretch?

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show.

This week, Liv gives some tough love to the Denver Nuggets as the NBA season enters the second week of March and the playoff race heats up. With injuries piling up, inconsistent play, and crucial games looming against Western Conference contenders like OKC, Houston, and San Antonio, the Nuggets are running out of time to figure things out. Liv breaks down Denver’s recent struggles, questions whether the team has a clear identity, and even raises concerns about coaching decisions as the postseason approaches. Can Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, and the Nuggets rally in time — or are earlier season losses about to come back to haunt them? One thing is clear: the excuses are over. It’s rally time in Denver.

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show. The Denver Nuggets picked up a big win over the Los Angeles Lakers, but questions still remain. On this episode of Mood Swings, Liv breaks down Jamal Murray’s big night, Nikola Jokić’s triple-double (and the concerning turnover numbers), and why the Nuggets might be dealing with a bit of an identity crisis since Jokić returned from injury. With key players like Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson nearing a return, Denver could be getting healthy at the perfect time—but a brutal upcoming stretch against teams like the Thunder, Spurs, Rockets, and Lakers will reveal exactly who this team is. Plus, Liv dives into the growing theatrics around the NBA and why Anthony Edwards might be the player who can save the game from turning into pure entertainment.

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show. This episode dives headfirst into the drama surrounding the Denver Nuggets and their heated matchup with the reigning champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder. From frustration over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s foul-drawing antics and Lu Dort’s controversial play on Nikola Jokić, to the growing perception that OKC might be the most unlikable team in the NBA; this one is raw. We break down the Thunder’s on-court and off-court behavior, the maturity questions, and whether their style of play is changing the game for the worse. But it’s not just about OKC. The Nuggets are 5-8 since Jokić’s return. Clutch time has been brutal. Effort, urgency, leadership... where is it? Liv makes the case for why letting Russell Westbrook walk was a mistake, questions whether David Adelman has the authority this roster needs, and explores whether the old Malone/Booth tension actually created a competitive edge Denver may now be missing. Other topics: -The impact (and uncertainty) of Aaron Gordon’s injury -Concerns about Cam Johnson’s fit -Paying Christian Braun vs. prioritizing Peyton Watson -Whether Denver’s championship window is slipping away during an all-time Jokić season Is this just a rough stretch… or a culture problem? As always, shoutout to Landmark Lincoln, proud home of Liv’s 2025 Lincoln Nautilus (SUV of the Year 😉). www.landmarklincoln.com Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are the Thunder actually unlikable? Does Denver need a coaching shake-up? Can the Nuggets figure it out before it’s too late? We’ll reconvene Friday. 🎙️🔥

Liv Moods is joined by former UCCS basketball standout Alex Welsh to preview the Boston Celtics' upcoming matchup with the Denver Nuggets, while also diving into Derek White’s journey from Division II basketball in Colorado to NBA Champion and Olympic gold medalist. Welsh shares stories from their time as teammates at UCCS and discusses how White’s game evolved into what NBA fans see today.

The conversation expands into a wide-ranging NBA discussion on whether personality impacts award voting like Defensive Player of the Year, who the best player in the league is right now, and why players like Nikola Jokic and Derek White may be overlooked despite elite production. Liv and Alex debate the importance of two-way players in today’s game and whether flashier personalities influence recognition around the league.

They wrap up by breaking down what both teams need to do to win when Boston comes to Denver this week. Liv argues the Nuggets’ key lies in Jokic controlling tempo and creating for others, while Welsh believes Boston’s depth — particularly Jalen Brown, Derek White, and Payton Pritchard — could be the deciding factor if Denver’s supporting cast doesn’t step up.
