Welcome on to a, I don't know, probably end up being like 8 and 70, something like that.

We'll see how close that, that prediction actually used to what we're going to do today.

We're going to do half of the West today, half tomorrow.

Danny, I got to get to the Warriors versus Hawks game later today.

So we're a little bit truncated in the amount of time that we have.

But let's begin here, Danny, with the Denver Nuggets,

as they have been without Nicolode Gokic now for about two weeks.

It's a fascinating team to talk about.

And it provides a different lens for them.

The Nuggets nuggets 25 and 13

on the season 7 and 7 since the last 1560 their plus 7 queen or sorry the plus 5

queen the glass net rating is 7th in the league they are first and offense still they are 24th

in defense now and ESPN's BPI projects them to win 51 games, which would be the four seed in the

Eastern Conference. Yeah, and they've had a couple of nice wins. They won in Boston. They won

in Philly without Jamal Murray and basically, and Aaron Gordon, I think Christian Brown, as well,

when Jalen Pickett went crazy. They won that one in overtime. Pickett hit a ton of stepbacks,

which was not what I thought he was known for, but apparently in this game, he was, and the defense

was good enough to hold down, Tyree's Maxie and Joel and beat at the end. Philly was actually

pretty whole in that game. So it was disappointing loss to the Sixers, but Nuggets, every win that they can get without

Nicole Yokic is great.

Also lost to Brooklyn in that time frame.

And then Murray and Spencer Jones both missed Friday's game.
