Chris Dempsey Nuggets Reporter/Analyst for Altitude Sports joins Theus and Ahmad to talk Denver Nuggets. The game has changed so much and we live in an era of positionless basketball. So Nikola Jokic may not be flashy to the casual fan but he's the real deal and can be the best player on a championship team. Jamal Murray's talent and fearless approach to the game is what makes him so special, he still hasn't unlocked his full potential. What's the ceiling for this young Nuggets team when fully healthy? They have the potential to have one of the best trios in the NBA with MPJ, Jamal Murray, and Nikola Jokic. The legacy Carmelo Anthony has in Denver is “Franchise Changing” - he brought the city of Denver winning and superstardom, he should always be celebrated. Chris Dempsey on Twitter Ahmad Smith on Instagram Theus McBee on Instagram

Adam Mares shares his notes from a disappointing loss for the Denver Nuggets thanks to 25 turnovers and just 89 points. Are the Nuggets too easy to guard without more dynamic guard play? Plus, thoughts on the rescheduled games against the Nets and Warriors, MPJ being around the team, and a stat about the Nuggets in the 2nd half that should scare you. Lastly, Nikola Jokic says that he admires Dirk Nowitzki for playing with one team his entire career. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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.

The guys discuss. *Recorded before the latest MPJ report that his season could be in jeapordy

The Nuggets absolutely eviscerate the Portland Trailblazers to go 5-0 on the homestand. No Will Barton (or MPJ) (or Jamal Murray), no problem. Jokic goes galaxy brain in the first quarter, and then juggernaut the rest of the way. Denver dominates on both ends of the floor and poor Jusuf Nurkic.

Live from the Winner's Lounge, Harrison, Dev and D-Line break down Bones Hyland's breakout performance, Aaron Gordon's best offensive game of the season and Nikola Jokic's triple-double evening. Also, notes on the bench, which didn't include Zeke Nnaji tonight, MPJ's continued absence and more. Then, Adam calls in from the Munder Dome for a recap of the Nuggets' pressers.

The guys discuss a wacky week in the NFL and who's seat might be hot as a head coach. Maybe Denver's future is brighter than we thought? MPJ's back makes an appearance, as does the questionable record of the Stanly Cup favorite Colorado Avalanche. As always, count on their best bets of the week. 

The Nuggets got a win without Jokic, MPJ and Murray.  What's Teddy's advice to the team ahead of the Eagles game? Is this Broncos defense back to having big expectations? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nikola Jokic puts together an all-timer vs. the Heat... and then loses it with a shoulder to Markieff Morris in retaliation. Jokic will be suspended, but how long? How did it come about? A bang-bang play or a cheap shot? The whole team played great. Adam says the bench play was about a lot of things, Matt think it was about one small thing. MPJ's injury update is still vague, but concerning, though Adam has some hopeful news from a listener. ... A lot of stuff happened Monday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Zach breaks down the heartbreaking loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Is there a disconnect between MPJ and the rest of the team? Is too much being placed on Jokic's shoulders? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Moore and Adam Mares break down the Nuggets' loss to the Grizzlies in the second game of the duplex set in Memphis. Nikola Jokic was phenomenal but it wasn't enough. Aaron Gordon's defense was sensational but it wasn't enough. Will Barton's determination was incredible but it wasn't enough. Bones Hyland is in the rotation finally, but it wasn't enough. Why wasn't it enough? The bench. Again. Plus, what does MPJ need to break out, is Facu the only one to blame for the bench woes (no), and why the homestand will be crucial.

The Nuggets played awful vs. the Cavs and caught their first loss of the season because of it. How much of it was a bad game and how much of it was problems under the surface? Adam calls it an "annoying game" and boy, he's not wrong in the minds of the Nuggets. Jokic has good numbers but struggles. Why are the turnovers such an issue? Does Denver need a pure point guard? Can Will Barton be that for them? Plus, the MPJ tension and a preview of the Jazz game with David Locke of Locked on Jazz. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Michael Porter Jr. has always had the talent and drive to dominate with the ball in his hands, but injuries sometimes have a way of being the equalizer on whether or not that talent translates to success on the court. Well, it seems any questions that might have lingered have been put to rest as MPJ has taken his game to a new level over the last two seasons. And in this interview, it's easy to see why as he speaks well beyond his years and touches on both the difficulties and successes he has encountered on his hoops journey. Following that up, JJ and Tommy welcome in OM3 correspondent and favorite Sue Bird to tackle another Top5/Draft. This may be the one that gets JJ off his recent slide as Tommy reaches for some highly questionable picks, putting the onus on Sue to come through in the clutch. Who knows how it will play out.   RUNDOWN On how great Denver and its fans are What was his motivation to start his own podcast  ON the atmosphere of playing the bubble last year How his game took a leap during that time. What clicked Does he look back at the bubble as his turning point Discusses playing on the same AAU team with Trae Young in High School  On having the freedom to play the game your way When did feel playing the NBA was a possibility With all the talent in his family, what were those backyard games like On former players telling AAU players that most of them won't make it If he were in high school now, would his decision be to go to college or somewhere else On what it was like being home schooled How he dealt with the injuries he suffered along the way What was draft night like dealing with the unknown because of his injury What was his first impression of Nikola Jokic TOP 5/DRAFT with Sue Bird “Top 5 fictional bands or musicians you would want to see in concert" Learn more about your ad choices.
