Denver Nuggets | Mile High Sports | Pickaxe and Roll | Locked On Nuggets | Just trying to make it
It’s pretty simple: the Nuggets have not been good enough outside of Nikola Jokic.

Nikola Jokic, the most efficient scorer in NBA history so far.

Oh come on man at least give me a challenge lol

Wrote the Locked On Nuggets newsletter this morning and included a pretty insane stat on Nikola Jokic.

Pickaxe and Roll today was a good one!

Some numbers on the bench quartet of Russell Westbrook, Julian Strawther, Peyton Watson, and Dario Saric.

Then, an appreciation of Jokic's mentality.

Trae Young gunning for the Assists Title tonight? Lmao

ESPN putting Stephen A and the Inside the NBA crew on the same show is a bad idea.

About to go LIVE on Pickaxe and Roll.

Tough one to record today.

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they trail the Grizzlies 55-43.

Denver's attempted 12 threes. Jamal Murray has attempted 0.

Michael Porter has 4 points on 2/8 FG

Russell Westbrook was a -16 in 8 minutes.

Not looking good.

I think I may have jinxed Michael Porter Jr. in my pregame article. He's scoreless right now and looks uncomfortable attacking the Memphis defense.

The number of the day for the Nuggets heading into a tough matchup:

86.3

No Jokic. Big Problems.

Let’s talk about that.

Tough game for the Nuggets. Looking at Jamal Murray and Denver’s ability to score without their superstar.

I don’t know whether to feel like the Mavericks are in trouble or not.

This certainly isn’t helping the cause.

I enjoy that Trey is a PS5 guy. Almost everyone I know has switched over by now 😬
November 14, 2024 at 12:19 AM
Trey Alexander of the Denver Nuggets joined me on the most recent episode of Pickaxe and Roll.

Really cool moment!

Michael Porter Jr. is averaging a career high 2.9 assists per game.

He has just as many assists in the clutch as Nikola Jokic, (6) tied for 4th most in the entire NBA.

MPJ is seeing the floor better than ever in big moments.
November 12, 2024 at 8:18 PM
Noticing something pretty interesting here.

Western Conference standings here.

I’m worried about the Pelicans. Nobody’s healthy and they’re already losing ground.

Greetings here from Ball Arena! The Nuggets are getting ready to face the Miami Heat on a snowy Friday night.

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets here. They trail OKC 66-55.

Nikola Jokic is doing his best, but he's facing an uphill climb.
