After writing about Game 1 between Oklahoma City and San Antonio here, I wanted to discuss it in-depth with the Mile High Sports audience. There are significant questions about how the Denver Nuggets can reach those levels again, but it’s clear they have certain traits they can emphasize to help them get back to that place. Defense, athleticism, multiple ball handlers, and a certain amount of relentless are needed from all of Denver’s players, from Nikola Jokic to the 15th man on the roster.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to an impressive Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. He discusses how the Denver Nuggets can match up with these teams, what traits they must add to the roster, and whether Denver’s even capable of making those changes.
