As the Denver Nuggets continue their post All-Star break stretch of games, it’s time to open up the mailbag.

With pressing questions facing the Nuggets for the rest of the year, Nuggets fans are looking for answers about the Nuggets championship hopes and concerns. With a rare two-day break in the second half of the schedule, there’s a bit of time to examine some of these questions from a macro perspective.

Where does Peyton Watson fit into the Nuggets game plan when he returns? What happens if Russell Westbrook and Julian Strawther both struggle in the playoffs? Could the Nuggets be a better team next season if things go right?

All of that and more on Pickaxe and Roll.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn goes over a lengthy Q&A from Denver Nuggets fans about a variety of Nuggets topics. From the playoff rotation, to possible first round opponents, to specific thoughts about Russell Westbrook, Peyton Watson, and Zeke Nnaji. Ryan discusses it all before previewing tonight’s matchup between the Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks, a Nikola Jokic vs Giannis Antetokounmpo special.
