On this week’s Denver Stiffs Show Zach Mikash and Gordon Gross are commiserating over the efforts of the Denver Nuggets sans Nikola Jokic. The guys talk about whether it’s scheme or lack of aggression thats led to Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.’s dud against the Memphis Grizzlies and who else has to step up beyond those guys. They also talk about how much Nuggets Nation should be panicking (hint: not much). In the second half of the show the guys talk about what the Nuggets can try to do differently the second time around against Memphis, with or without Nikola before previewing the upcoming weekend matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Denver Nuggets lose two without Nikola Jokic

  • Is it scheme or lack of aggression with Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr.?
  • Who else has to bring scoring to the lineup?
  • Reason to panic or par for the course for any team who loses their star?

A lot of repeat opponents

  • What does Denver have to do differently the second time around against the Memphis Grizzlies?
  • Should we expect anything different from the Los Angeles Lakers this year?
