Dan Jacobs is in for today’s Memorial Day Weekend edition of Dover and Cecil. In hour 3, Dan is joined by DenverSports.com’s James Merilatt to discuss the Fan’s basketball prospects, if Jamal Murray deserves criticism for his lack of professionalism and on court production, and how the Nuggets can improve their roster. Should the Nuggets gone out and performed a full coaching search before hiring David Adelman? Are the Nuggets and Avalanche missing the gritty players they had when they won championships?

Dan outs the behind the scenes guys for our “Cecil bingo” of all the cliches he says during his regular show. Where would Dan and Dante rank at the Fan in terms of basketball and we have controversy over the rules of playing one on one basketball.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Cecil. The guys discuss the Nuggets hiring David Adelman to be the head coach before hiring a general manager. Will Adelman be able to keep Jamal Murray in line? Should anyone from the Nuggets organization speak to Murray about going out after game 6 when he nearly didn’t play due to his health? What did the guys make of Michael Malone walking back his claim that SGA is the league MVP? Does Michael Malone have mixed emotions when it comes to Nikola Jokic? Should Michael Malone be on the Mount Rushmore of Denver sports head coaches?

SGA wins MVP. How is Hamilton celebrating??? Jamal Murray says, "Do it for the 6, SGA says I'm from Hamilton." He's a national treasure. Will Hamilton give SGA a statue? The defense of OKC - 13 steals off of 17 turnovers. Does Minnesota stand a chance, and can someone else on the team give him some help? Then, Indiana vs NYC - phenomenal game. Lives up to the rivalry. The Haliburton game winner, almost, choke celly, & more. In our Raptors homer moment, are these playoffs getting you in your feels? Are you second-guessing the rebuild? A question to the listeners: In hindsight, Durant for Barnes, do you wish it happened? Finally, SGA's speech about his wife is our hottie highlight of the week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dover and Cecil opened the show reacting to Michael Malone clearing up his stance on the NBA MVP saying that Nikola Jokic should've won it. How are the guys feeling about the David Adelman promotion after sleeping on it? Dover explained that the Nuggets are never going to develop and improve Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Will Courtland Sutton lead the Broncos in receiving this season? 

The Denver Nuggets have named David Adelman head coach of the Denver Nuggets. The team will do a longer search for GM and no decisions have been made. How will Adelman be different than Michael Malone as head coach? Adelman now get's to build his own staff and have a whole offseason to install his own system.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys react to the breaking news of the Nuggets hiring David Adelman to be their next head coach. Phil explains why he thinks Adelman can get the most out of Jamal Murray while the other guys are not enthusiastic about the hire. Should the Nuggets have hired a general manager first and allow the future GM to have an input on who his head coach is? Should the Nuggets have gone through a full coaching search before landing on Adelman? Will Adelman have more of a say in organizational decisions than the next GM? Will the Nuggets go with another internal hire for their general manager? Did the Kroenke’s hire Adelman because they were comfortable with him and is that a negative? Will Josh Kroenke be more involved with the Nuggets organization going forward? Was Michael Malone taking a shot at Denver fans and Jokic with his comments on ESPN’s broadcast the other night?

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil recapped last night's crazy Pacers-Knicks game. How will the Timberwolves respond to OKC tonight? Is Sean Payton trying to make Bo Nix look like Patrick Mahomes? Dover broke down a trade that would send Jamal Murray to Toronto. Who should be the head coach of the USA Olympic flag football team? 

Dover and Cecil kicked off the show recapping the Pacers' crazy win over the Knicks last night. The guys also talked about how the Stars beat the Oilers last night. How did Sean Payton missing out on Patrick Mahomes help him draft Bo Nix? Dover gave a trade proposal that send Jamal Murray to Toronto. 

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to the breaking news of the Nuggets making David Adelman the next head coach. Dover explained why the Adelman promotion is good news for Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. What is the plan for the GM position now for the Nuggets? The guys explained why they wanted ownership to do a full coaching search. 

Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets are facing their most pivotal offseason yet. With the franchise parting ways with General Manager Calvin Booth and no clear successor in place, the pressure is on Josh Kroenke to make the right hire — one that could define the rest of Jokić's prime. What kind of GM do the Nuggets need? What vision should guide the next era? And how high are the stakes for Denver's championship window?The DNVR Nuggets Podcast breaks it all down — from the behind-the-scenes dynamics to the big-picture decisions that lie ahead. What should be the priority: continuity, innovation, or control?

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on CU and Coach Prime as we head into his first season without Shedeur and Travis Hunter. Should Deion’s expectations be similar to coaches around the country that are making similar money? How can Colorado get their standard to be at the same level as schools like Georgia, Ohio State, or Texas? We react to the news of the NFL allowing their players to participate in the Olympics in flag football. Why were NFL owners willing to risk their players in non-NFL games? Has the Nuggets goal of a dynasty changed to just winning Jokic one more ring during his time in Denver? DenverSports.com’s Jake Shapiro joins the show to discuss what he saw in Oklahoma City during the Nuggets series, if David Adelman is the man for the next Nuggets head coaching job, and Jamal Murray’s playoff performances. Do the Nuggets need a complete roster overhaul or just a few more bodies at the end of the rotation?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys debate if Nuggets players and specifically Jamal Murray will feel too comfortable with David Adelman if he were to be promoted to head coach. What qualities in a new coach would get the best out of Murray? With the Nuggets facing 3 huge questions heading into the offseason, a new head coach, a new general manager, and re-tooling a roster, how do the guys rank them in order of importance? Is it fair to hire the head coach first and then pair him with a GM who didn’t sign off on the coach? We hear from ESPN’s Bobby Marks and his thoughts on what a Christian Braun contract extension would look like. Should Braun be interested in taking a “hometown discount” to stay with the Nuggets? After Aaron Gordon’s gutty performance, Zach asks who is on the Denver Mount Rushmore of most reliable players. We hear from recent Broncos draft pick; Pat Bryant and he shares about the football retreat Bo Nix is putting together.

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Nikola Jokic on if the core of this Nuggets team is close to winning a championship. Does Jokic think David Adelman should become the next head coach? Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report joined the show and discussed what adjustments Jamal Murray needs to make to improve his game. Is there a plan on how to fix this Nuggets roster? The guys broke down a trade scenario where the Nuggets can trade Michael Porter Jr. and strengthen their bench. 

In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Nikola Jokic on if he wants David Adelman to become the next head coach. Jamal Murray talked about the chances of the core of this Nuggets team getting back to a championship. Cecil explained why he wants Jokic to be vocal behind the scenes. Will Petersen joined the show to say who is closer to winning a championship, the Nuggets or Avalanche. 

The Denver Nuggets did not win the NBA championship this season and in a championship or bust era, everything short of that feels like a failure. Nikola Jokic is the greatest player the franchise has ever seen. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are on max contracts. Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun were great supporting cast members. So who is to blame for the Nuggets being in this position?

Did Aaron Gordon separate himself as a Denver legend after playing through a grade 2 hamstring strain on Sunday? How much credit does Christian Braun deserve for going from a question mark coming into the season to being the second best Nugget in Sunday’s game?

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets Game 6 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder that saw Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray lock in at the right time.

Who do the guys trust more between each team’s number option, Jamal Murray or Jalen Williams? Will Russell Westbrook or Michael Porter Jr. be more reliable?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil reacting to the Nuggets huge win in game 6 last night. Now that the Nuggets have pushed the series to a game 7, was game 5 truly a “must win”? Why do the Nuggets need to pushed into a corner to play their best basketball? Are we seeing the 2023 version of Jamal Murray? How important was the final minutes of the first half for the Nuggets? Will last night be known as “the Jamal Murray flu game” or “the Julian Strawther game”? Was Murray overplaying his “sickness”?

How concerned should we be about Aaron Gordon’s injury as we head into game 7?

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil recapped Game 6 of the Nuggets and Thunder. Jake Shapiro joined the show and talked about how great Julian Strawther was last night. How clutch is Jamal Murray? The guys talked about what records Travis Hunter could break in the NFL. Closing out the show, the fellas gave their final predictions for Game 7 on Sunday.

What went into last night's win?14:58 - This series between the Nuggets and Thunder is unique. It truly has everything, and it's a style of play that satisfies basketball fans of any era. 34:51 - Jamal Murray was so sick that he didn't participate in pregame warmups. But he still suited up, played meaningful minutes, and made a huge impact in the game. What a night for Jamal!

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Nuggets and Thunder game 5, last night. Why did David Adelman sub Michael Porter Jr. back into the game late into the 4th quarter? Is a hurt Michael Porter Jr. a better option to have on the court than someone off the bench? How should Adelman handle MPJ going forward in this series? While others are getting the blame, Zach believes Jamal Murray didn’t play up to his potential and was too inefficient. Today’s “Three Count” features Julius Thomas advocating for a Von Miller and Broncos reunion and Derrick Henry and the Ravens agreeing to a 2-year, 30-million dollar contract extension. We react to Romona Shelburne’s article detailing a spat between Aaron Gordon and Russell Westbrook. Do we believe that these events occurred? Zach and Phil explain why they have no problem with the article but with whoever on the Nuggets is speaking to the media about inside locker room issues.

Nikola Jokić is facing one of the toughest playoff defenses of his career, and through four games, the OKC Thunder have made him look mortal. In this episode of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast, we break down how the Thunder are walling off the paint, forcing Jokić into jumpers, and daring Denver's supporting cast to beat them. Can the Nuggets adjust in time? What will it take for Jokić to unlock his game against OKC's athletic, disciplined front line? Plus: notes on Jamal Murray's physical limitations, MPJ's inconsistent impact, and what Game 5 could reveal about the Nuggets' title defense.
