You're listening the Locked on Nuggets podcast, your daily podcast on the Denver Nuggets.

Now, here is your host from Denver Stiffs.com, Adam Mottes.

What is up, everybody, and welcome to the Locked On Nuggets podcast, part of the Locked On Network.

I'm not your host, Adam R's.

Adam R's away from the pod this week.

So I am Brendanbord of Denver Stiffs.com, filling in for the big man.

And I didn't want to do this by myself so I hit up the

the only guy I really would I'm so happy that I'm your primary because there is nobody else

my old partner in crime T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports, TJ, what's up man? Not too much man

we do always find a way to podcast together at random times like this. It's pretty actually incredible how often we find a way to podcast together. We never really stopped working together. No, we never did. That's not the most fun part of our randomness throughout this process. But yeah, there have been no locked on Nuggets podcast this week. So TJ and I will share our notes from the Houston game, from the Miami game, then hit on some quick hitter sort of general stuff.

And yeah, you know, I should have some more guests on for the Thursday and Friday episodes as well.

Of course, we'll all be in the arena tomorrow night.

But for this one, Houston, Miami, injury updates, all that good stuff.

TJ, let's start that Houston game, man.

Yes.

That went probably exactly how I thought it was going to go.

With a little extra deflation sprinkled on top, I thought, because overall, the Nuggets

battled for all 48 minutes, and it just didn't matter.

And that was probably the part that really sucked the most, is that it was close.

Like, Denver was within striking distance from most of the game. They sustained James Hardin getting hot and hitting a few threes in a quarter and their big runs that they go on.

And they were still within a puncher's chance of that game.

But man, things went downhill quickly.
