The Denver Nuggets are on an eight-game winning streak, but that could be tested tonight vs the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland is playing better than even Denver right now from a point differential perspective with the best defense in the NBA during the last eight games. It’s a battle of the best offense, the best defense, and Denver’s focus level. Can the Nuggets stay on task and win a game at home they’re supposed to win?
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to Michael Malone becoming the head coach at North Carolina (WHAT?!) in news that JUST broke. He then breaks down the Denver Nuggets 8-game winning streak – their longest of the season – and how the Nuggets have accomplished it. He discusses a pathway to the playoffs and the NBA Finals before discussing tonight’s innocent game against the Portland Trail Blazers. What could go wrong?
