Despite the Denver Nuggets achieving a win in their final game before the All-Star break, it’s clear the team isn’t in peak form at the moment. With injuries, absences, and a tough schedule over the last couple weeks, the Nuggets have struggled to navigate the waters on both ends of the floor. Defense in particular has been a struggle with the Nuggets holding on for dear life. They’re at the break though, and that should stabilize things for the entire organization.

On the latest Pickaxe and Roll episode, Ryan Blackburn discusses the Denver Nuggets win vs the Memphis Grizzlies to close out their schedule before the All-Star break. Ryan discusses the win, Denver’s shakiness on both offense and defense, and which players need the break the most.
