learn a lot about yourself on the show do you

What injury updates and practice notes were shared for the Nuggets?

DNVR Host 0:11
Isn't that the point of science for the last episode? They're all terrible, right? They're all terrible people. Alright guys, let's do a show together. What is up everybody? Welcome to the DMVR Nuggets Podcast.
Adam Mares 0:21

Adam Mares 0:40
I did. Our lives are so ridiculous.
DNVR Host 0:43
We got a great show. I'm excited for today's show, man. We had practice, which I thought was interesting. Vote and I were there. We haven't talked about it yet on purpose because I want to see if we had the same takeaways. My hunch is no, but that's what makes it great.
D-Line Co. 0:55
I can't wait for this. You do live. I can't wait. You guys can debate. Things in our life happen. We don't talk about it on purpose because I just don't really want to talk.
DNVR Host 1:03
You just really don't want to share too much.

What is the latest news on Jaden McDaniels' injury status?

DNVR Host 1:05
But LeBron James is coming to Denver.
D-Line Co. 1:08
I also saw that.
DNVR Host 1:10
League insiders are saying. That's the word on the street.
Adam Mares 1:12
The insiders are talking.

What are the implications of LeBron James coming to Denver?

DNVR Host 1:13
Jaden McDaniels, week to week. I feel like this story, nobody's talking about this one. And I'm like, how is nobody talking about this?
Adam Mares 1:20
First of all, what does that mean?

Why is Nikola Jokic not the MVP favorite this season?

Adam Mares 1:21
They're all talking about LeBron to Denver.
DNVR Host 1:23
We'll go over what that means because I actually think it's a huge deal. And then, of course, our headline topic, which we'll do at the very end of the show, of course. The MVP conversation has officially annoyed me.
Adam Mares 1:34
Just now. Just now. I'm annoyed.

What factors contribute to the MVP discussion among players?

Adam Mares 1:36
Is it because of that DM I sent last night to you guys? It was up there.
Brendan Vogt 1:40
Although March 31st, pretty late, pretty late in the year. It's pretty late in the year for you to have lost.
DNVR Host 1:46
I just, I was like, I'm above it. I don't care. And then here we are 12 days to go in the season. I'm like these, these a-holes, man.

Who was named the Player of the Week, and what were their stats?

DNVR Host 1:53
Also, because the straw poll coming out voted in the straw poll, so we'll talk about that. But a lot of this is more on the Nuggets, the current state of the Nuggets. And to talk about that, we brought in Brendan Vogt.
Brendan Vogt 2:02
I feel like, and I'll be modest here, I think we are four of the better choices to bring in to talk about the Denver Nuggets. I think we got the right guys in the house.
D-Line Co. 2:10
Let's get after it. Easily. Over here, D-Line Co. That's right. I couldn't agree more.
Adam Mares 2:16
There it is. The energy through the roof. Hat backwards.
D-Line Co. 2:20
Yeah, look at that.
Adam Mares 2:21
Yeah, it's the kind of day it is, man. It is. Six-game winning streak. Tuesday vibes. Yeah. Gaming Utah coming up. Big Utah. Hey, man, it kind of is a big game. Massive game.
DNVR Host 2:31
It's going to be a white knuckler for sure. Bro, nobody watches Utah.
Adam Mares 2:36
We do.
DNVR Host 2:37
Nobody knows what's going on.
Adam Mares 2:38
Oh, I know what's going on.
DNVR Host 2:39
I'm telling you, the Utah Jazz are a, I'll say, 38-win team that somehow managed to win 16 games this year. They have done the greatest tanking job I've ever seen. Every game, it's almost like they're proving they can beat you, and then they just lose.
D-Line Co. 2:53
But who amongst the TikTok generation?

What are the concerns regarding the Nuggets' current performance?

DNVR Host 2:56
Yeah.
D-Line Co. 2:57
Do people watch the jazz or listen to jazz more? Oh, man, that is a great question.
Brendan Vogt 3:02
We should probably ask Drisky about that. Drisky has never listened to jazz. Can I ask you, Harrison, what is the Tuesday vibe? It's this. Okay. It's an off day.
Adam Mares 3:13
Just kind of waiting around for a big game tomorrow night. Seven in a row, potentially.
DNVR Host 3:18
A run-of-the-clock situation. It's Tuesday. Tuesday vibe, same as Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
Brendan Vogt 3:22
We're waiting for Friday. With Utah, really quick, that last game, I used to say that organizations tank and players don't. The roster, not playing guys in the fourth quarter. They were getting great looks all game. And the final five minutes started, and they were just like, what about this one? It's because they know, man.
Adam Mares 3:37
It's because these teams know they are supposed to lose. It gets in your head.
D-Line Co. 3:41
It probably does.
Adam Mares 3:43
It has to get in your head.
D-Line Co. 3:44
Well, also, their owner is so progressive in the diagonal, annoying way.
DNVR Host 3:50
where it's just like he's a big guy oh he has no he has no problem gaming the system he's he's like a you know he's like a tech guy he loves gaming everything it is true i do think it gets in your head and here's the big thing man season ends in 12 days you realize that we have two weeks left and this week there's only the one game wednesday tomorrow against utah so really next week is the final week of the nba season we should front load the center day too but yeah
