After the Denver Nuggets win over the Brooklyn Nets in overtime on Tuesday, Denver’s record evened up at 2-2 once again, a small reset on the season.

However, the takes around the NBA have been flying through the first week. Are the Nuggets still any good? Why did they struggle with the Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets in back-to-back games? What’s going on with Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. this year? Are Russell Westbrook and Dario Saric still NBA players?

Overreactions are common in the NBA, but with the Nuggets, it appears the NBA might have gone a bit overboard.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn briefly goes over the Denver Nuggets overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets and why it’s not great but also understandable why the Nuggets have struggled with the Raptors and Nets wins.

Then, Ryan discusses the biggest overreactions to the Nuggets first week of the season and how real those takes will end up being. From Russell Westbrook’s up-and-down play to Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. struggling to the Nuggets needing a trade. Finally, Ryan looks around the NBA.
