0:00.0	You are Locked On Nuggets, your daily Denver Nuggets podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.
0:12.0	What is up, everybody, and welcome to the Locked On Nuggets podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
0:18.0	I'm your host, Adam Mades, flying solo for most of this week.
0:21.5	Matt Moore is on vacation. He's maxing and relaxing and not freaking out over the Denver
0:27.2	Nuggets as they get blown out by the Phoenix Suns 122-105. In a game that I thought was very
0:33.7	competitive for all but maybe four minutes. There was a four minute stretch in this game in which
0:39.0	Denver, you know, Phoenix goes on a 16 to zero run. Denver loses by 17 points. So that 16 to zero

1:32.1	They're always together in not just the play that is happening, but the next play that's about to
1:36.8	happen.
1:37.6	They're always one step ahead sort of collectively.
1:40.4	And Denver, I thought, did a great job, really went toe to toe with them for the first half of
1:45.9	this game and then for half of the second quarter, about five, six minutes into the, into the,
