The Western Conference has watched the Denver Nuggets play an Eastern Conference team in nine straight games and been unable to do anything about it. While other playoff teams are watching Denver’s health struggles without Nikola Jokic and others and hoping they falter, all they can do is hope. The Nuggets are 4-5 in their last nine games, including 4-3 without Jokic, and Western Conference contenders are probably fuming about it.
On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn goes over a big 108-104 win over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Ryan discusses the vets like Aaron Gordon and Tim Hardaway Jr. as well as the surprises in Jalen Pickett and Zeke Nnaji. He also does a Western Conference Playoff Picture Check-In on Denver’s seeding probabilities.
