The nuggets are in fact not dead. The nuggets are good at basketball. They didn't forget how to play. I actually, so we, like it felt like a lot has happened in the last three days of the playoff world, and the number one story is the Denver Nuggets evening the series against Minnesota, Timberwolves. And what we said last week, like this is the first time the nuggets are gonna have their back against the wall in the last year year and a half of playoffs and turns out they answered the bell and they looked awesome. And Nicole Yokic, who is the best player in the world, who you saw the little doubters creeping out of their their their their holes and being like, ooh, Nicole Yokic shouldn't get this third MVP. He had a masterclass on Sunday night. Yeah, and Friday night they played really well too.

The overreaction was, I think it was somewhat warranted though, because they looked like shit in the first two games. Michael Malone even said, you know what he did? He went home and he put together a compilation tape of all the talking heads, talking shit about the nuggets. And he was like, I didn't do that because I hate those guys. I did that because they were right. Right. So he actually credit to Michael Malone for respecting the biz and given Stephen A. Smith all the credit for turning around. It was so bad. In fact, like, Stephen A. Smith, I don't know if you saw this, but after the game, the most recent one where they went up, I guess after Friday's game, Stephen A. Smith said, yeah, I was wrong and I apologize. Whoa, I've never heard Stephen A Smith back.

Whoa.

Yeah.

That is crazy.

But I think when we talked about it, we were at least just saying what we've seen, which

was the nuggets look like shit.

They looked awesome.

The timber wolves look awesome, which they did through two games and then they found out.

Yeah.

Okay.

We can actually play with these guys that went on Friday gave them a lot of confidence. It's a weird series because we haven't had a home team win yet. Correct. Correct. Business trips all around. And Yokech was incredible all weekend long. He had in the two games. He had 59 points, 21 rebounds, 16 assists in those two games. Tonight especially, it feels like they, you know, you don't want to say they solve something because this series will go back and forth and now you get the counter punch from the wolves But Yokeh is basically like especially with the Murray picking rolls was like oh I'm just gonna stop before I get close to the rim and neutralize Rudy go bear and shoot these floaters that are there And he was so awesome and then it also helps the Aaron Gordon played out of his. 11 for 12 from the field was hitting everything. Like when Aaron Gordon plays like that, everything opens up because now when you're doing picking roles, when you're cutting to the rim, he's standing out there. He's gonna shoot and he's gonna make it and the wolves defense and the worst part for the wolves tonight. And I don't wanna, listen, I understand it's emotional for fans

when your team is in the playoffs.

And you've also got guys that you've written for for a while.

Last week I joked about Carl Anthony Townes

making the, you know, people talk about the big three,

me, aunt, and Rudy Gobert.

Mm-hmm.

And I was like, I don't think people talk about that
