“Kevin Durant is Nikola Jokic’s obsession” – Tim Legler goes crazy Nuggets lose to Suns 104-97

Katie wiy I’m Chris Marlo from the floor let’s go upstairs Vic Hans and Dempsey getting ready for the Toyota locker room report take it away thank you gang listen we we all get upset disappointed after a loss especially at home but is it me or some people get apoplectic

About stuff like this and it was obvious from the get-go one team played with more motivation and Desperation because they’re trying to avoid a play in the other team is in first place before the game and they’re in first place after the game and that’s what we saw in the

Court tonight well yeah I I agree but but still what your your ultimate goal is not to win just a division to win it all and this effort tonight was not good enough as you mentioned Vick I mean the the drive buys the blockouts the little things were not and Phoenix took big

Time Advantage another thing that you’ll notice when when you kind of don’t have all that energy you tend to rely on the three-point shot 10 out of 40 yeah too many yeah that that’s tough uh look they missed Jamal Murray the Jamal Murray scored 28 points against this

Team the last time these two teams met uh and then when you look at a nuggets offense that just couldn’t quite get it going and couldn’t quite um be stay on schedule the entire game U you understood what they were missing in Jamaal Murray I mean the record without

Him uh with him is that good for a reason and so um you know look you you take this one you you throw it away and you move on they’re still 15 and3 since the All-Star break they’re still in first place it’s not over but this

Segment is when we come back the Toyota locker room report we’ll hear from coach Malone and all the players get their thoughts on this nuggets loss at Home and the rubber match goes to Phoenix 10497 only one team has beaten the Nuggets here at ball Arena since the allstar break and that team has now done it twice the Phoenix Suns they get it done again tonight and they really dominated for most of the game the

Nuggets cut it to single digits but never had enough to get over the top yeah it seemed like it was always just something in the first half lack of Defense starters played pretty good bench came in and they were not good and Phoenix built the lead back up and a

Little more of the second half same thing yeah same thing in the second half and and and look um yeah I just think this is they didn’t have they didn’t have it tonight you know he they didn’t have that pop tonight and Phoenix did and Phoenix was embarrassed the last

Time uh they were out they lost it to San Antonio Spurs they had a a very a wicked uh film session according to their coach uh a hard practice and they came out here with something to prove against the Nuggets tonight and not only that you know look you get Bradley Beal and The stretch if you want that first spot you’re you’re going to need 58 probably maybe even 59 wins to win the division well guess what on Friday Timberwolves yes so and and you should not have any issues getting motivated for that game exactly right they did not look motivated tonight for whatever reason

Yeah they really didn’t and and you know I look I I I I like to give Phoenix credit I like to give the opponent credit sometimes um I I think Phoenix executed really really well today I mean what was it 29 assist I think is what they finished with something around

There um they wanted to be a more Dynamic offensive team I think they showed that here tonight they showed you why um this this this would be a a dangerous team to have to play uh in the playoffs but on the flip side uh if the Nuggets bring energy from the start

Maybe this is a little bit more of a back and forth game into the fourth quarter rather than coming from behind and and not really quite getting there future is in your hands presented by The Ball Corporation and Kevin Durant mik goodness what a nuggets killer he has

Become look at what he’s done against Denver this season tonight capping it off with 30 Points Maybe you can make it no no no no he truly is one of the greatest to ever play and one-on-one it’s one of the most difficult matchups in the entire NBA and when he gets going it really doesn’t matter if hands are in his face or not

He can score from all three levels and I think over the course of his career Vic that his defense has been uh a little underrated um he is a guy that can block shots long yes absolutely and uh he showed that here tonight and he moved

Laterally yeah he can let’s take a look at how we did with our Wagers tonight our fanatic sports book awful terrible tonight you lost over lost everything I lost everything he had Nia scoring the most points and that went to Kevin Durant who was Unstoppable

Virt at times he had 30 so what an 0 for night for Chris Dempsey I I think I’ll just go home now just take the rest of the show we’re going to take you to the to the to the restroom after this and G A Phil S I mean how shameful are you
