Loss to the Lakers – Ryan Blackburn (16:14)

  • In your opinion what was the main reason for the loss?
  • How discouraged should Nuggets fans be by this loss?
  • Do you think the Lakers make the playoffs?

Upcoming week – Gordon Gross (38:54)

  • New Orleans on Monday, which team’s hot start do you believe more?
  • Is anything but 2-0 on the upcoming road trip a let down?
  • How worried are you about the offensive struggles of Paul Millsap, Torrey Craig and Jamal Murray?
