Hi, welcome on to part two of our 15 and 60 mailbag. Much to discuss here. My eight minute timer is ready. Will it be heated? That's perhaps the most interesting aspect of this. Let's get started though, Dan, with the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are 44 and 25, 7 and 5 since the last 15 and 60. Their net rating is

7th in the league. Offensive rating is 2nd. Defensive rating is 23rd. Projected record of 52 and

30. It would be second in the West. They're making the playoffs. Yeah, they are. So where do you

want to start? Questions was? Bold Robin Hood. Ask, which coaching staff do you believe has the edge in a Nuggets Thunder playoff series?

I know you just spend a lot of time thinking about coaches and where they stand.

And I think it's so hard to separate the options.

We talked about this in a recent game where it's, you know, I kind of made the point that,

well, maybe this coach made better adjustments.

He also has a much better roster for making adjustments. I think the Thunder have so much flexibility, so many different

styles they can play, so many different things they can do. They're a deep team and obviously

have their strong stars where I think Dagnall could look amazing. I think the ceiling for

Degnold is higher and the floor for Michael Bolog, who's guided a team through, you know, a deep

playoff run and has, you know, the ability to to summon a team emotionally.

I think the nuggets have a higher floor.

Yeah.

I think that's probably right.

And I mean, we've seen Mark Dagnall has come up short in a couple of big game situations

despite the fact that he would probably be my number one pick for a regular season coach at this point in time.

And you're right. He does have more buttons to push.

Maybe you could say that offensively, he doesn't have as many that if they do stop Shay, that then OKC might be in trouble.

But it's Mark Dagnold's job to figure out that, yeah, you know what?

If they're double teaming your best player, you should be able to beat that.
