9:09 MLK - Vic said this team's issues are completely roster based. It's not a coaching issue. It's all because the roster isn't deep enough and constructed properly. Don't blame coaching.

9:09 MLK - Yesterday, PHD said Coach Adelman needs to “trust his guys” & dig deeper into the bench when things aren’t working. Here’s the thing. Adelman IS playing the guys he trusts. But he only trusts 6.5 players on the roster. That’s the problem. 

48:12 MS - Joker Mode ACTIVATED!!! Coach and Raj draw parallels between when Nikola won his MVP last year vs how Nikola should react if SGA gets the MVP Award tonight.   Will this be the game Nikola Jokic breaks out of his slump?

9:09 MLK – OKC is throwing 3 defenders at Jokic the second he enters the paint. They shut him down instantly, leave multiple Nuggets open on the perimeter, and dare them to shoot. It’s a risk worth taking if it removes Jokic from the game.  
The only way Denver wins this series is if the Non-Jokic Nuggets make shots. That’s it. 

2:36:14 MS - Cale Makar Round 1 = Nikola Jokic Round 2! Coach Sanford and Raj discuss why Nikola's last three games reminds them of how Dallas defended Cale Makar.   Can Nikola Jokic find a way to get his offensive game back on track?

9:09 MLK - In the playoffs, winning by 1 is no different than winning by 30. A win counts as a win, no matter the margin. But don’t you wanna see the Nuggets push around OKC at least once? Don’t you want Denver to thump em a little bit? Don’t you wanna get greedy and root for a blowout?  
The Nuggets need to remind OKC who won a title a couple years ago. This core still has a championship pedigree. The Thunder don’t.  

2:33:09 MS – Jamal Murray is a Chess Player! Coach and Raj discuss whether he'll make a chess move tonight and have a 'Murray Flurry' or whether he'll lean towards history and wait just a little bit longer!  Let us know in the comments what type of game we’ll get from Jamal Murray tonight!

2:44:13 MS - Coach and Raj discuss why the front running nature of the Thunder and the way the Nuggets respond to success are the perfect combination for a 7-game series!   Which style of play is more likely to be considered sustainable?

9:09 MLK - Joe Sakic knows a thing or two about a stacked team making an early exit. His Avs squads went 5 YEARS between cups with a roster full of HOFers. Sometimes, you can do everything the right way & still not get rewarded for it. That’s how it goes. That’s life.   

2:46:11 MS - Why did the Avs lose? It was because of their Power Play. What does this mean for Jared Bednar? He's on a 'year to year' deal until the Avs win another cup and the fellas explain the work that's in front of him for the 25-26 season.

9:09 MLK - Aaron Gordon: good basketball player, even better person.  He’s worked tirelessly to improve his shooting form & numbers while helping raise his late brother’s children.   Oh, and he’s sunk 2 playoff game-winning buckets in 10 days.

9:09 MLK - Limiting it to the past 20 years, which is the most painful Denver/Colorado sports loss: The Rahim Moore Game, Nuggets blowing a 20-pt lead to Minnesota at home in Game 7, or Avs blowing a 2-0 lead to Dallas in Game 7 w/a Mikko Rantanen hat trick?    

2:25:23 MS - Batman and Robin time in the Mile High City! Coach and Raj discuss why it's time for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray to get back to doing what they do best!    "It's a two-man game...they'll always win!" -Marc Moser

9:09 MLK - NO pucks have bounced the Avs way this series. No puck luck whatsoever. So Moser went right to the source. He wrote an emotional, heart-felt, strongly worded letter…to the pucks themselves. 

2:42:04 MS - Gabe has been nothing short of amazing since coming back! Coach wonders if it would benefit the team to move him to the 1st Line. Raj isn't sold on moving Gabe up because it doesn't fix what's broken.
