But I am ready, officially ready for the Nuggets to return to action,

which they will do tomorrow night, very late. You're going to have to have a late coffee tomorrow to be able to stay up for that West Coast game, but it should be a good one. And we have some good topics for you. I'm joined remotely by Brendan Vote. How you doing, Vote? Good, brother. Good to see you. I'm ready to get started again too, and I've got you guys ready at the

DNVR.com just published five of the biggest questions still facing the Denver Nuggets down the stretch here. So if you're looking to get back into the mood, of course, you got to wait another day for the games. You can go read that article, get your Nuggets Fix going. This is a great promo there because this is the day of like, all right, everybody, huddle back up. Everybody huddle back up. You went your separate ways, you know, and hopefully got a little bit of time away from the Nuggets, which I think is kind of important because for the next four months, I pray it's four months. We're going to be at battle. Like, do you feel that way? you know, I actually think we can proclaim this vote. We're through the dog days. We're officially through them. It's like real now. I think so. There's 27 games left. You got a bunch of these home games coming up. The rest of your Thunder game coming up. And Yokic is back. So, I mean, this is it. This is Nuggets basketball. It may not be whole yet.

Goodness, I hope it's whole again at some point. But this is it, man. This is the real deal. And the Nuggets typically this time of year are playing their best basketball one way or another. So hope that's the case this year. Yeah, not at the exact moment, but hopefully, I mean, we're going to talk on this show about what the Nuggets.

We want to see them accomplish this year. Yeah. Not at the exact moment, but hopefully, I mean, we're going to talk on this show about what the Nuggets, we want to see them accomplish this week. Like right away, Nuggets fans have been a little anxious, at least I know I have been, because Nuggets haven't looked great for the last couple weeks. And then before that, no Yokic, what was real. But we need to see them look real here this week, starting tomorrow.

So we're going to talk about that and what we want to see accomplished here.

But our headline topic, they're going to turn on me today, vote, my beloved fans,

fans of the show, because I have a headline question that's a little provocative,

but I think it's kind of true.

I think Yokic might have something to prove for the first time in quite a while. I think that there's a little something to prove there. So we're going to talk about that. I don't think you're going to love it, but you can tell me you don't love it in the comments and it'll be interesting. And then I looked ahead at the schedule. Every year we have statement week. Statement week is coming up. There is a statement week that I think is the clear. This is the week where Nuggets fans are going to hang so much of their hopes and dreams on. And we're going to talk about that as well. But first, the Nuggets had practiced today at Ball Arena. We have the interviews up on our YouTube channel. You can check those out if you want to see what everybody had to say. But let's run through some quick notes here first vote. What stood out to you? Sure. Let's just go right into David Adelman, who had a lot to say, and it'll be the meat here of this section. First of all, on the passing of Doug Moe, you know, yeah, we talked about it as a team today,

David Albin said, for the younger guys that maybe didn't know the impact that he had on the game,

made sure that it was communicated.

Obviously, he's a Denver sports legend.

And for somebody like me who grew up around this league and saw the innovation of offense that he brought to the NBA,

I think he doesn't get enough credit for the wide open

freestyle that we play now. You know, he waxed poetically about just that whole era of Nuggets
