After a week off, the Pickaxe Pundits show is back! Zach, Jeremy and Evan are talking about the Denver Nuggets victory against the Los Angeles Lakers and how we finally saw a good game from the pairing of Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap. The guys break down the win and then dive into the Jokic/Millsap pairing specifically to talk about how it can work, how the defense still might not be very good and how there is still enough time to get everybody firing on all cylinders. For the second half of the show the guys once again turn their focus to the playoffs and expectations. They debate whether or not just making the playoffs is good enough or if the fans should expect more. Finally, it’s trivia time as Zach puts Jeremy and Evan to the test on their Denver Nuggets playoff history knowledge. Safe to say they might need to bone up a bit before next show!
