Ryan Blackburn shares the 10 biggest reasons why the Denver Nuggets can still win a 2021-22 NBA championship even if Michael Porter Jr. doesn't play another game. With Nikola Jokić still on the roster and Jamal Murray eventually returning, the Nuggets still have a championship foundation in place, and Ryan discusses how Denver can still find that next gear. From the three-point shooting already improving, to the pecking order shifting for the better, to the rest of the West remaining open, there are reasons to remain hopeful in the face of despair.

Ryan Blackburn spends time recapping both Denver Nuggets losses over the weekend, a 114-108 hard-fought games against the Chicago Bulls and a 126-97 blowout at the hands of the Phoenix Suns. Both games were without Nikola Jokić, Michael Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray, and Denver's defense felt the effects just as much as the offense against two very good teams. Ryan then discusses the injury bug that has hit the team, including a scary prognosis for Porter's back injury.

Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, Brendan Vogt and Dev Johnson break down the Nuggets' loss in Phoenix. Nikola Jokic is already out of the lineup, Jamal Murray is still a ways away from returning, Michael Porter Jr. doesn't seem too close to rejoining the rotation either, and Bones Hyland tweaked another ankle. Is there anything to take away from this loss? JaMychal Green had an encouraging game. Jeff Green scored the ball. The guys discuss. *Recorded before the latest MPJ report that his season could be in jeapordy

The 21 Questions Covered: Are the Golden State Warriors the NBA title favorites?  Fact or fiction? From the mid-point of last year onward, Stephen Curry has been the best player in the NBA It seems like there is a consistent outrage economy right now surrounding the Brooklyn Nets. The Brooklyn Nets are also 11-5, and currently tied for the first place in the Eastern Conference. How do we feel about the Nets right now, and do we think something is off or that they're fine? The Phoenix Suns are on a 10-game winning streak and look like a buzzsaw again because of Chris Paul. Are we ever going to see someone like Paul again? A small point who lasts into his late 30s and dominates games in this way.  How are the Washington Wizards doing this?  Which team of the following are you most panicked about? Milwaukee, Boston, Atlanta We're about one-fifth of the way through the season. Who is the team that decides at the deadline that it's time to break up some of their core and make a big trade that acts more as a "seller." Okay, the obligatory three minutes that every podcast must do on Ben Simmons. It feels like this thing goes through cycles of pressure, and that the pressure has been ratcheted down again. A deal isn't close now, but do we think Simmons finishes the season as a Sixer, and what is a potential move that actually makes sense? But speaking of Simmons, the 76ers have a burgeoning star right now in Tyrese Maxey. How has Maxey gone about making this leap into looking like the point guard of the future for the 76ers? The closest team to you for the last couple of years has been San Antonio, so you've gotten a close look at DeMar DeRozan when everyone seemed to tune the Spurs out. Do we think that like, people just weren't watching how good he was last year? Why do people seem to be surprised that he's been as great as he's been in Chicago? The hardest team for me to figure out in the NBA right now is the Dallas Mavericks. They are 9-5. Ostensibly, they're winning games. They are also below the league average in both offense and defense, have a negative point differential, and Luka Doncic hasn't quite worked his way back into the peak of his powers. Are you buying or selling the Mavericks long-term? The Clippers are 9-6 and holding steady without Kawhi. Is there a more important player to his team in the NBA right now than Paul George? Who is the most fun team in the NBA, and why is it the Memphis Grizzlies? Who is the least fun team in the NBA right now, and why is it the New Orleans Pelicans?  Every season since 1991, there have been at least two players who have never made the All-NBA team make the team for the first time. Who are your picks for those two players this year? Every year since 2006, there has been at least one new player to make the All-Defense team int he NBA. Who is your pick among players that have never made All-Defense?  The Lakers are 25th in offensive rating, and are only 8-8 despite playing the fifth-easiest schedule thus far in the league. Do we think the problems expand beyond "no LeBron James" for the Lakers, or is it just a matter of getting him back and starting to roll? The Nuggets have no Michael Porter Jr. and no Jamal Murray. They are shooting 30 percent from 3. How in the world does this team still have a winning record?  How do we think the Neil Olshey inquiry ends following the "fair and independent review" of the workplace environment that he has fostered since running the Trail Blazers? The Cavs are starting to come back down to earth with losses to Boston, Brooklyn and Golden State. Do you believe it's important for them to compete this year, or is it fine if they are still a year away given that they seem to have found the actual organizational centerpiece in Evan Mobley?  Have you accepted Pokuism, the belief that Aleksej Pokusevski is your basketball lord and savior?

In the third hour, Stokley and Zach debate whether or not Teddy Bridgewater's unbelievable statistical discrepancy on third downs is evidence that he's "gaming the system". Have the Broncos passed the point of no return when it comes to Drew Lock? Matt Moore, our Fan Nuggets Insider, joins the show to break down the tough loss to Philadelphia last night and give an update on Michael Porter Jr.'s injury situation. The guys make their picks for this weekend's slate of NFL games. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first hour, Stokley and Zach react to the Nuggets' victory over the Pacers last night, despite being down Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray. Did Jokic's suspension serve as a rallying cry for the rest of the team? The guys discuss Teddy Bridgewater's comments about the danger of underestimating an opponent after a big win and speculate what a win, or loss, against the Eagles would mean. Vic Fangio addresses the media live from UCHealth Training Center.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Zach breaks down the Nuggets' victory over the Pacers, despite being without Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray. Did Jokic's suspension serve as a rallying cry for the rest of the team? Is Will Barton playing the best basketball of his career? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the second hour, Tyler and DMac break down the heated exchange between Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris at the end of last night's game against the Heat. The guys react to comments from Jokic, Michael Malone, Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra, Stephen A Smith, Shannon Sharpe and others about Jokic's ejection from the game. At The Water Cooler, Tyler and DMac debate whether or not the comments from Jokic's brothers on social media, as funny as they may be, are cause for concern from an optics standpoint. Matt Moore, our Fan Nuggets Insider, joins the show to discuss the potential punishment that Jokic will face for his actions and the continued absence of Michael Porter Jr.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan Blackburn recaps an eventful 113-96 win for the Denver Nuggets over the Miami Heat that saw Nikola Jokić dominate until he was ejected in the fourth quarter for shoving Markieff Morris violently. Jokić is likely in line for the suspension, and Ryan discusses the ramifications of Denver potentially being without Jokić, Michael Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray for the foreseeable future. Ryan also makes time to discuss the actual basketball that was played, which was great for the Nuggets until the fourth quarter incident.

The Nuggets get a close win vs. a bad team because Aaron Gordon and Facu light it up from 3 and Joker makes defensive plays, because, of course... The team still is squeaking by, how bad are things?... Michael Porter Jr. suffers a back injury, what does that mean short and long-term?... The team canceled practice... The homestand is looking iffy... There's not much to do but hold on.... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
