Brennan Vogt

So he's been consistent.

He's cleaned up his messes, which have been few and far between.

And he's just carried a lot.

If this is how he's going to play, man, in October, November, December, January –

How do you not have confidence that he's going to bring it in the summer?

Yeah, they probably do.

I do think the memo will land a little better if they clean up their clutch play at home first.

But yes, I mean, I just think maybe it's all part of it.

Look, maybe that's part of it to your point.

But yeah, I mean, it does seem notable when a team that's consistently contending and has had this insane home court advantage historically as an organization, all of a sudden now...

you know, can't bring anything to the table at home.

So obviously that's a factor.

I think the schedule, when you think of the schedule, the first thing you think is who you're playing.

But for the Nuggets, the schedule issues have been the things that you mentioned, the sort of intermittent sprinkled in games at home, a lot of the back-to-backs, so on and so forth.

Having said that, you know, I think the Nuggets could sort of like seize what's controllable here a little bit more in terms of how they're playing at home.

But yeah, you're probably on to something.

excuses obviously is the operative word but they they have talked about it they're rhythm guys they're routine guys and it is weird when your homestands are not homestands so i do have some sympathy for that especially when you it's compounded by the injury issues i'm sure uh it's just like it's the weird it's the common denominator in a lot of these home losses of just oh you have control of this game oh you you let go of it that's just what's so frustrating

There's a chance, and look, we have to frame it as a chance because, unfortunately, it's not a guarantee.

They get healthy at the right time.

They hit that portion of their schedule.
