You are Locked On Nuggets, your daily Denver Nuggets podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network,

your team every day.

What is up, everybody, and welcome into the Locked On Nuggets Podcast, part of the Locked On

Podcast Network.

I'm your host Adam Adis from DNVR, and I'm joined by my esteemed colleagues in your NBA writer for the Action Network, Matt Moore. Matt, it's good to see you.

How's it going, man? It's good, man. Watching the Lakers get obliterated. That was very fun.

I watched Phoenix drop a game. I watched San Antonio drop a game, and all of those things are good

for Denver in the standings. I did want to say I was going to make,

I was waiting to make this joke on Twitter, but the sun's lost and it stinks, but the Lakers are now

half a game up on the four seed. And the moment they drop, I hate to say it, but I think LeBron's

out of the MVP race. Just the team has to have a better, I've been told this over and over again. They have to have

a better record. And it's unfortunate that the Lakers just don't. Yeah, rough scene for him.

It's funny. I was talking about this on Twitter that has Adam's facie shit there. I remember this.

It's funny. If any other player, if any other player,

if Chris Middleton missed a month

and the bucks just went to garbage

last season.

Yes!

Play this song.

Let's do that.

The honest would have been completely out.

That's right.
