All the focus on the play calling this week was more of the Payton smokescreen regarding his hand picked QB. Nix is not good, the defense has been carrying this team for 2 years.

70% is being generous to Nix. The play caller is different from last year, they added Waddle (so many Nix fans claiming the receiving corps wasn't good enough last year) and a top rated offensive line. Still need an RB but Nix is the constant. He hasn't been good enough.

Not sure I agree with this interpretation. Nix doesn't have the ball, isn't trying to recover the ball and gets hit in his back. What is a "clear out" that's legal? On a qb?

Did you watch the Broncos last year? Remember the game in London? The offense wasn't good last year with Payton calling the plays.

I find it interesting that when Deion did this 3 years ago the tone of the articles written about him and the comments on the articles were quite different.

Why are broadcasts obsessed with talking to players and coaches during action? FOX just did an entire podcast episode with Darnold including asking about his wedding. Who is this for?

I fully agree.

She was great in that game. The year prior was my first time seeing her in person when they lost to Creighton in the 2nd round after Creighton beat Colorado in the first round on Iowa's home court.

As a CU grad I was at both of those games. The one in Seattle was a very good game. The one in Albany not so much.

Why is Tennis Channel T2 showing two matches on the screen? The women's match is early in the second while Shapovalov is serving for the match. There is literally no reason for this to be split screen. It just makes it more difficult to watch.

I know saying the Kroenkes are cheap is widely accepted but how is this true when they paid MPJ, Braun, Gordon, Murray and Jokic? Not defending the owners at all or being argumentative but what is the evidence of the cheap narrative?

" ...totally lacking drive..." What?

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I get that. I am a lifelong fan of the Nuggets, who pays a lot of money to go to games (family season tickets since the McNichols Arena days) and cares about the team more than NBA storylines. Different perspectives and that is okay.
010
LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Also, just as the Spurs hired Billy Donovan as an assistant the Nuggets need to do something similar. Adelman needs some veteran help on the sideline.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I don't need a splash to win the off season. I would like to see more development from Strawther (yes I still believe) and sign Watson and roll with that.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Last season was derailed by injuries and a lack of toughness in the playoffs. Braun, Jokic and Watson had significant injuries for the first time in their careers. I don't know what you do about the lack of toughness, but I think you have the right combo of players from a skills perspective.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Also, I don't want to root for someone I have rooted against for most of his career who just parachutes on to the team. If it happens the whole season will just be about LeBron and I am not interested in the Nuggets becoming the side show in the LeBron orbit.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I know lots of people want to believe he hasn't declined but he has. Getting another year older isn't going to make him better. He struggles on defense now which isn't exactly the strength of this team. LeBron on this team is good for media content .. it doesn't make them better.

As a Nuggets fan I don't want this.

WNBA’s Caitlin Clark Problem Is Really America’s Black Woman Problem
The media’s fixation on Caitlin Clark reveals a deeper racial double standard—one that sidelines Black women whose talent, labor, and star power built the WNBA.

This is really well written. I am exhausted by the Clark discourse and I look forward to getting past the drama.

Correct! God bless Telemundo. Especially on Peacock in splendid 4K.

Not much ball movement in their offense. A lot of 1 on 1, or 1 pass chuck up a 3.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
Courier and Mary Jo Fernandez are rightly going in on the chair umpire for the way this is being handled. Unfair to Cerundolo.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
I don't think so. I've been to a lot of NBA games and have never seen that.

Atkinson is an average coach.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
His lack of touches (15 ft and in) is why they lost to Minnesota in game 1 of that series imo. Maybe it is a fatigue or energy thing but to me he doesn't get the ball enough.

Jimmy Goldstein. Noted Laker fan but he goes to NBA games everywhere. I've seen him courtside at Nuggets games.

You know what no one wants? A split screen interview with another tennis player (or anyone for that matter) during a tennis match that happens to be a semifinal of a 1000 tournament featuring the world #1. @tennischannel.bsky.social

Youtube TV multi view working perfectly for me. Great picture and I have the hockey game on it as well.

Hoping for actual analysis. Why so few paint touches for Wemby especially in the 4th when Gobert was on the bench?
000
LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Is Wemby allowed to post up or is he limited to shooting 3s? No Gobert in the 4th and he can't get a paint touch? Super weird strategy.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Can the 7'5 guy roll to the basket or post up? More missed 3s than paint points is crazy. #NBASky

This round will be tough because I believe 5 of the 8 teams are in the central time zone. Makes the scheduling tougher.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Time Zones!!! As one who lives in the Mountain time zone and goes to games 8:30 / 9:00 starts are awful.

Walking into the arena on Monday I was behind a guy wearing a Nuggets LaFrentz jersey. He was impressed that I knew who LaFrentz was, and yes those were dark times.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
He shot it like a jumper and didn't throw it. Impressive.

LAustin @lajaustin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
I had to think about it a lot. I guess the Minnesota / Spurs path. I was very encouraged by the way the Nuggets handled the Spurs and feel the Spurs may struggle with playoff pressure.

Seems like he should have focused on his team instead of worrying about what Dawn was or wasn't doing.

How are we defining fan engagement? The bottom 4 teams in total home attendance are tanking teams. Surprisingly the Jazz attendance is quite high but maybe it's an "only game in town" thing.

Oh I remember. I never gave up on him.

I keep liking these posts because so many of your colleagues are just ignoring Jokic at this point.

Exactly.

I may be in the minority but I don't watch podcasts. Ever. I listen only so the pivot to video that results in layoffs makes no sense to me.

Did they rescind Bitadze's technical as well?

Never substituting for 26 minutes is crazy. Siena players are clearly gassed.

The link didn't work for me but I found the report. Like you I never thought this was a foul. Not sure why it wasn't challenged. Adelman and his staff have to be better.
