It’s been an up-and-down season for Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray.

After starting slow, it appeared that Murray was back on the upward trajectory to finish 2024 with a very strong December. A subpar back-to-back against the San Antonio Spurs recalibrated expectations a bit, and it’s simply becoming more clear that Murray will be inconsistent.

For what he means to the Nuggets, is that good enough? Will he continue to raise his game as the season goes on? Can the Nuggets expect more epic playoff performances when the time comes?

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn shares his final thoughts on the Denver Nuggets split series against the San Antonio Spurs, including Nikola Jokic winning Player of the Week for his efforts. Then, he does a deep dive on Jamal Murray and the numbers he’s put up this season. What should Nuggets fans make of Murray’s ongoing inconsistency?

Then, Ryan previews the Nuggets vs Boston Celtics matchup Tuesday night and how it’s a measuring stick game for Denver.
