Got Tim Legler here talking a little Denver Nuggets and what a time to do it.

It's been a choppy, bumpy season for them, Legs. They just had that big win over the Spurs. So I'm going to ask you right off the bat, is this win streak? Is that win? Is it enough for you to buy this team as contenders still heading into the playoffs? There's no question. Yes. and I think, you know, I've kind of felt most of the year they represented the biggest challenge

to Oklahoma City in the West and that was before, of course, the emergence of San Antonio

and what we saw them turn into and sort of accelerating their relevance.

No one really expected San Antonio to be on this level. So they've clearly

entered that mix now as well. But if it's not Oklahoma City or San Antonio, there is no other

team to envision in the Western Conference and have a legitimate shot at than the Denver Nuggets.

And I think this winning streak at this time of the year and getting guys back and kind of

seeing them whole has continued to shine light

on the fact that they all this team is not quite ready to think that their championship window

is over and that's what this winning streak for me has done um and you know what yokets has done and

the way he's played and you know not that at any point you ever watch yokitch and you think he's losing and, you know, not that at any point you ever watch Yokic

and you think he's losing anything, but, you know, there was a time earlier this year. It wasn't

quite the same every night than what we were used to. And now he's playing his best basketball

of the season at exactly the right time. During that relatively funky February, early March, what were you seeing from him? I mean,

the turnovers were up, but it just kind of seemed like mentally he was in a different place than

we're used to seeing from a guy who's been, you know, best in the world or at least arguably so

for some time. Yeah, he looks to look like to me, like a guy that was just a little bit beat off

physically and dragging a little bit and he was having a little bit of a harder time mustering like that because you know, a guy like Yolka, she's not going to overwhelm you athletically. So like he has to be so dialed in mentally for the grind and the challenge that, you know, the way that he has to play, the physicality of his game and what he's got to endure because he's

not like getting easy ones with his athletic ability it's like you have to be so dialed in mentally

to prepare for that every night to like be that consistent as he's been throughout his career

and it's almost incredible that he did it as long as he did so to hit that that's what it looked like
