It's Locked on NBA every day of the week with me on Thursdays, Jackson Gatlin and Adam on Fridays with Nick Engstott of Lacton Mavericks.

All right, guys.

So today, the NBA schedule is out, recording this on Friday and want to get you some

insights into the Nugget schedule short show uh we'll go over more of this stuff probably

we'll get Adam's thoughts on it and kind of the outlook of the season as well some other stuff

on Sunday but since I'm the schedule nerd I thought I would go ahead and give you guys

some insights as far as what I've seen.

So let's start here.

The big picture for the Nuggets, if you want to look at the NBA schedule, and it's funny, everyone tends to, not everyone, oftentimes you will see commentary that's basically, oh, here's a big schedule insight. Everyone's going to play everyone

or everyone's going to play two games. There's this idea that because the season is so long and

because you do play every team at least once, at least twice, rather, that somehow the schedule

doesn't matter. I'm here to tell you that's not true. I'm just here to tell you that that's

absolutely categorically not true. I'm somebody that has to track regular season stuff a lot for

betting purposes. I used to do it a lot at CBS before I started doing batting with the action network

because I was trying to track playoff picture. And you're always trying to get a sense of

where is a team, where is a team?

Where's a team going?
