We hear from Adelman and his thoughts on the roster and if the existing players can improve. If the Nuggets decide to run back their roster and hire their coach and GM internally, should we expect a different result than what we saw the past two seasons?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to David Adelman’s introductory press conference after being named the official head coach of the Nuggets. Is there room to grow for Nuggets young players and is Adelman the man to maximize them? How does the Nuggets roster construction compare to the teams that are still in the NBA playoffs? Zach shares his problem with Josh Kroenke not admitting the Nuggets have a culture problem. Can the Nuggets replicate what the Warriors were able to do in 2022, winning the championship? Today’s “Three Count” features Andrew Mason’s idea for a standard for retiring Broncos jerseys, the chances that Demarius Thomas makes it into Canton as a hall of famer, and the Thunder and Pacers taking commanding 3-1 leads in the conference finals. What trend do all but one of the Broncos newest draft class members have in common?
We kick off hour 1 of the Drive with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys debate if Garrett Bolles is a lock or will end up a ring of famer with the Broncos.

Phil takes us through what OTA’s can mean to different Broncos this week. Who needs to have a good clean week the most from the Broncos?
In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil talked about David Adelman's introductory press conference. Should we read into Jamal Murray and Julian Strawther showing up to the presser? Which Broncos players should we pay attention to at OTAs this week? The fellas explained why they didn't like Josh Kroenke's comments on why the Nuggets organization doesn't need a culture reset.
In the final hour, Dover and Cecil continued to react to the Nuggets press conference for David Adelman and Josh Kroenke. How creative does Adelman want to be on defense moving forward? The fellas reflected back on the career of Demaryius Thomas as he will be going into the Broncos Ring of Fame this season. What other Broncos could be next for the ring of fame?
On the latest Mortcast, Jeff talks about the notion that the Nuggets answers are "internal" to quote Josh Kroenke and the multiple meanings of that phrase. Also Jeff talks about how bad ESPN has been in covering the playoffs this year, in particular their lead announcing team. Also the Finals might have mid-00's levels of bad ratings and it will be up to ESPN to sell the hell out of it. Enjoy the show!
Can Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and the rest of the Denver Nuggets bench take a meaningful leap next season? Is internal improvement a realistic strategy — or a hopeful one?

Mike Evans and Richie Carni open today’s show apologizing to a poor motorist that Mike misled with his bad gas tank math. They listen to Josh Kroenke’s comments at yesterday’s press conference and they dissect the plan for the Nuggets moving forward. Mike and Richie address the stray Michael Malone threw out at Jokic. They look at the scarce options the Nuggets have at their disposal to upgrade the roster. Mike and Richie finish the first hour talking about Bo Nix’s ranking amongst his NFL QB peers.
In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to Pro Football Focus ranking their top-3 Broncos while not naming Bo Nix in the three. The guys heard from Josh Kroenke on how close the Nuggets are to winning a championship again. Is Garett Bolles the most underrated player for the Broncos? The guys reacted to Tim Kurkjian calling out the Rockies for how bad they've been this season.
0:00 - Yesterday, Josh Kroenke addressed the media and announced the hiring of David Adelman and the new Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets. Interim no more. How do we feel about the hiring, especially since they don't have a new GM yet?16:36 - Josh K's presser had a common theme yesterday. Most of the Nuggets answers will be "internal." What does that mean exactly?36:23 - Another week, another new low point for the Rockies. They continue to make history for all the wrong reasons!
00:00 Josh Kroenke on the Nuggets depth.13:40 Rockies fall to 8-42.32:00 Mark Johnson joins the show.
The Nuggets and interim coach David Adelman agreed on a deal to make Adelman the full-time head coach. Adelman went 3-0 in the regular season after taking over for Michael Malone and won a playoff series, leading Denver to one win from the West finals. Was Adelman the obvious choice? Should the Nuggets have hired the GM first? And will the Nuggets keep their starting core together for next season? Eric and Bruce break it all down.
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to react to audio from Josh Kroenke’s press conference today. Will the current Nuggets players be too comfortable with David Adelman when the team seems to need some sort of shake up? What was the biggest takeaway for the guys from Josh Kroenke’s press conference today? Will the Nuggets go outside of the organization to hire their open general manager position? Will Adelman be able to maximize the roster from the starters to the bench rotation? Will the Nuggets truly be able to develop their bench or will the starters still see heavy minutes in the regular season? Should the expectation for the Nuggets be to win Jokic another championship? How much of the Adelman hire came down to finances and him being a cheaper option? Should the Nuggets have gone through a full coaching search before landing on Adelman?
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke’s comments from his press conference today. Did Adelman prove enough in his short stint as interim coach to be the full time head coach? How much of the Adelman hire came down to finances and him being a cheaper option? Should the Nuggets purposely hire outside of the organization for their general manager search? Today’s “Three Count” includes Josh Kroenke’s answer to how close the Nuggets are to competing for a championship, the Pacers having yet another miraculous comeback last night, and the NFL introducing a “protector of the year“ award for the best offensive lineman. Who will be a bigger story line in the NFL this season, Shedeur Sanders or Travis Hunter? Will Sanders be able to take advantage during training camp and pre-season to be the starting QB for the Browns?
In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to react to audio from Josh Kroenke’s press conference today. After hiring David Adelman, the interim coach, will the Nuggets go internal for their general manager hire as well? Has Kroenke set up the Nuggets to fail after letting multiple front office members leave in the past decade due to finances? Will Christian Braun get a fair contract from the Nuggets? Will the Nuggets be able to sell Braun on taking a lesser than deal to keep playing with Jokic? We react to Michael Malone’s comments on ESPN the other night. Did Malone take a shot at Jokic and the Denver fans during the broadcast? How should Nuggets nation feel about Malone at this point? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to share his biggest takeaways from today. Why was David Adelman not at today’s Nuggets press conference?
Trey Mitchell from Around the NBA with Trey joins Jeff to talk about the Nuggets taking off the interim tag for David Adelman. What that means. Was the process ok?

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.

In a very rare three segment Mortcast Jeff talks about three separate subjects. In segment one David Adelman is Malone 2/0 and the Nuggets need to ask themselves if they want that. In segment two Jeff talks about Josh Kroenke's decision to not fire Calvin Booth at the beginning of the year. In segment three the Westbrook article is discussed and it's bizarre timing and tone. Enjoy the show!
0:00 - What's the bigger story from over the weekend: the Avs loss or the Nuggets win? For Vic, the choice is pretty clear. Also, limiting it to the past 20 years: what's the worst Denver/Colorado sports loss? Where does the Avs Game 7 loss on Saturday rank?16:53 - Remember when Josh Kroenke said he thought the Nuggets still had more juice left? And he wanted to squeeze the juice out of this roster? Turns out, he was right. The juice was there, and we saw it on full display in Game 7 vs the Clip Show.33:58 - The Avalanche Game 7 loss from Saturday reminds us of the Nuggets Game 7 loss vs Minnesota last year. They were early exits vs a tough opponent, and it feels like you'd win a championship if you got past them.
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach, Will and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition vs the morning show. After a hiatus last week, will we be able to beat the morning show’s 3-1 performance? We hear from Avalanche coach Jared Bednar and his thoughts on how back and forth their series has been, a heavyweight battle in the first round of the playoffs, and being able to stay loose even in an elimination game. Was it fair for the Dallas Stars to claim that no one believed in them this series? We hear from Nuggets interim coach David Adelman already working the refs for game 7 and how happy he is to have game 7 at home. How important will tomorrow’s games be for both Jared Bednar and David Adelman? Could Adelman go from interim coach to the next head coach of the Nuggets with a win in game 7? If the Avalanche go home in the first round again, will owner Josh Kroenke move on from Bednar and possibly gm Chris McFarland?
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Will Petersen previewing this massive weekend in Denver sports. Which series has been more entertaining between the Nuggets and Avalanche? How much will last night’s loss cost the Nuggets? After a great game from Michael Porter Jr. in game 5, what happened to him in game 6? If MPJ and Russell Westbrook are both struggling, what lineup will the Nuggets close with? While the Avalanche needed to win last night, Zach points out why how they did it was so important. Did the puck luck finally turn in the Avs favor? Did the Avs prove they can be a team that comes from behind and win a game the hard way? How important will tomorrow’s games be for both Jared Bednar and David Adelman? Could Adelman go from interim coach to the next head coach of the Nuggets with a win in game 7? If the Avalanche go home in the first round again, will owner Josh Kroenke move on from Bednar?
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into tonight’s elimination game for the Avalanche. Zach shares the history of the Avalanche in series when trailing 3-2 and it’s not pretty. Will the Avs having their captain back in Gabe Landeskog be enough to push this series to a game 7 in Dallas? Will Jared Bednar be on the hot seat if the Avalanche cannot make it out of the first round of the playoffs? Will Avs owner Josh Kroenke pull the plug on the coach like he did with Michael Malone earlier this year? Today’s “Three Count” includes Christian Braun finishing 4th in the NBA’s most improved award, Anthony Edwards taking a victory lap in Los Angeles after eliminating Lebron James and the Lakers, and reaction to the scary scene in Pittsburgh of a fan falling off the outfield wall. We react to clips from the Pat McAfee show and Buster Olney praising Rockies fans for their attendance despite their record.
Mike Evans and James Merilatt open the second hour discussing Josh Kroenke’s leadership of the Nuggets after he addressed firing Michael Malone and Calvin Booth his press conference yesterday. Mike runs down the Big Board of BS with James before the latter pushes for another Denver coach to be fired. We finally get an explanation for why James hates coaches before the guys wonder if the Avalanche will make a bad decision based on sentimental value over real value on the ice. What’s Trending? The chicken or the egg when it comes to the Nuggets, Shedeur snubbing the Draft, time to cut the cord with Kirs Bryant, the Masters’ perfect story gives it a bump, and the play-in.

UNLV Football spring practice recap.
0:00 - Continuing from the previous segment: we're not saying that Travis Hunter doesn't deserve the jersey retirement. We're arguing that Shedeur Sanders had a record-breaking incredible career at CU. What we ARE saying is there are a bunch of other players who are equally/more deserving of this incredible honor who haven't received their flowers.15:44 - The guys tumble down a rabbit hole of names that involve states. Johnny Utah. Next, let's dig deeper into the Avalanche vs. Stars first round matchup. 32:20 - Josh Kroenke spoke to the media yesterday for the first time since firing Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. He was asked about everything from the MPJ trade rumors to who Nikola Jokic is as a person.
0:00 - Yesterday, Josh Kroenke addressed the media to answer questions about his decision to fire both Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. Oh and also, the Rockies scored multiple runs. Plural! In a major league baseball game! Say it ain't so!16:02 - Nuggets vs Clippers, Avalanche vs Stars in Round 1 of the playoffs. Which matchup do you feel better about?33:53 - CU Football will retire Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders' numbers on Saturday at the Spring Game. One of those makes sense. The other one is...a bit surprising.
Josh Kroenke addressed the media for the first time since the firings of Michael Malone and Calvin Booth, offering rare insight into the internal dynamics that led to a seismic shift for the Denver Nuggets. From accountability to culture, player leadership to front office philosophy, Kroenke outlined his vision for what comes next.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn is joined by Jeff Morton of the CSG Podcast to discuss the Josh Kroenke press conference with local media today. Kroenke shared reasoning for the Michael Malone and Calvin Booth firings, disputed reports about the team, and explained what Denver's next steps are as a franchise. Ryan and Jeff share their thoughts before turning to the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver's first round playoff opponent.
In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Nuggets owner, Josh Kroenke’s comments on the firings of Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. Did Kroenke fail the organization by not being more hands on and present in the building? Phil still wants to know why now, was the time for Kroenke to fire Malone. We hear from Kroenke on the moments over the years where he thought about firing Malone but ended up not pulling the trigger. Kroenke also addresses his open mindedness heading into the next coaching search. We wrap up the show with the biggest stories in Denver sports.
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Michael Malone’s message to Nuggets nation. Did the Nuggets owe it to Malone to let him finish the last 3 games of the season and the playoffs? Why did it take Malone getting fired for the Nuggets to show effort? We also hear from Josh Kroenke and him refuting the report that the Nuggets were unwilling to trade Michael Porter Jr. because they share the same alma mater in Missouri. We have the ratings from the Master’s and Zach and Phil try to guess the number. What do we make of the Nuggets finishing 3-0 under interim coach David Adelman? Should we be putting more stock in the past 6 months of Nuggets basketball or the past 3 games? Has James Harden become underrated? We have news on Kris Bryant as he is heading to the IL for lumbar degenerative disease. Is it fair to ask if it’s best for the Avalanche for Gabe Landeskog to join the team for a playoff run? Would Landeskog be better than the potential player he would be replacing?
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to comments from Nuggets owner, Josh Kroenke as he had his first press conference since the firings of Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. How much blame for the toxic culture within the Nuggets, does Kroenke deserve blame for? Should Kroenke have waited till now to make his firings or gone with his gut feeling and fired them earlier in the season? Today’s “Three Count” features Rory finally winning the Master’s to win a career grand slam in dramatic fashion, the Rockies getting shut out in a series vs the Padres, and the Suns firing Mike Budenholzer after one season. We have an update from Courtland Sutton on his potential contract extension with the Broncos. Phil explains what Sutton brings to the Broncos offense and what he would still like to see from him. What will the contract extension look like for the two sides?
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover. The guys react to Josh Kroenke’s comments on the Nuggets. What positives did the guys take from his press conference today? Do the Nuggets have their joy back while playing basketball? Should be put more faith in the first 6 months of the season we saw from the Nuggets or the most recent 3 games? The Avalanche captain returned to the ice over weekend playing for the Colorado Eagles, what takeaways do the guys have? Are Gabe Landeskog and the Avalanche on the same page for his return? What qualities does Gabe have that he would be bringing to the Avs? Is it best for the Avalanche for Gabe to return to the Avs for a playoff run and take someone’s spot?
In the final hour, Dover and Cecil talked about the Nuggets heading into the playoffs. Would this Nuggets team be worse if Russell Westbrook was not on the roster. What did Josh Kroenke have to say about Nikola Jokic never having an All-Star on his team for his entire career.
In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil were joined by Jake Shaprio as he gave some insight on Josh Kroenke's press conference today. How much blame is Kroenke taking for firing Michael Malone and Calvin Booth? The guys heard from Gabriel Landeskog after playing with the Eagles. What is the market price for Courtland Sutton if he gets a new deal?
0:00 - As it stands right now, are you feeling better about the Avalanche or the Nuggets heading into the playoffs?12:39 - Despite the season that OKC had, it doesn't seem like a guarantee they'll win the West. It's weird that we feel that way. You could argue anyone from seeds 1-8 have a good change of making it out. 31:27 - Brett has a weird quirk that stems from mild childhood trauma. Later today, Josh Kroenke will address the media at Ball Arena. What do you want to hear from him? What would you ask him?
After a 4-game losing streak, the Denver Nuggets president, Josh Kroenke, decided to fire coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth.

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Josh Kroenke on how the decision came together to fire Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. How important is it to have Nikola Jokic get involved in the head coach and GM search? The guys gave the latest update with Gabriel Landeskog and his possible return. If the Avs could win it all this year, would Landeskog retire?
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil run down the list of names that could be potential coach or general manger fits for the Nuggets. Could former Warriors GM, Bob Meyers be a candidate for the Nuggets? Should the Nuggets go with a championship level winning, proven coach or an outside hire that is up and coming? Could a former player, similar to JJ Reddick be on the table to be the next Nuggets coach? Phil walks us through what his experience was like when his NFL coach was fired during the season. We hear from Josh Kroenke and his thought process on the major shake up within the Nuggets franchise. Was there one moment that led the Nuggets to firing both Calvin Booth and Michael Malone? ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne joins the show to discuss how surprising it was to see both Malone and Booth be let go by the Nuggets, the timing of the Nuggets decision, and how the Nuggets lost their culture in the locker room.
