I like the old set up felt more chill
Let's hope it's not like the first half of the two Adelman games were it looked like Jokić wasn't involved in the play. No points and less than a handful of assists in first half wasn't good not because of the stats but involvement. Then the third quarter comes everything is how it was: jokic is the center of everything even on court and goes off.
I get that they were trying something new with two games in the season but the chance of falling down to the playins was real.
Do the Nuggets suddenly have a strategic advantage because the film they’ve put out all year may or may not be relevant to what the Nuggets are trying to do? Are the Nuggets now a difficult team to scout? I’m inclined to say yes but only to an extent. I’m curious to see what kind of evolution they can conjure up with the personnel on the roster.
I don’t like this set up
I feel like yall kinda squeezed on that desk 😭
They are not going to sit on the couch anymore?
This set up feels claustrophobic
What a fabulicious video.
But is Adelman thinking about what to do with Murray and MPJ? Even if he tries to trade those two, he couldn't get even Bronny in return.
Time to switch back to the set up. Nice try diddy! lol
It feels like I'm at a HR meeting and I'm about to be fired 😂
I don’t even think we were a bad rebounding team when teams shot from 2, we were a bad 3 pt defense team, which led to other teams getting lots of threes up, which led to long 3 pt rebounds
Giannis has Dame Lillard, no excuses for him. If Joker had Dame we’d be unbeatable lol.
I like the new studio. It feels more like a television set than a podcast
Well to be fair, Adam is secretly a giant (or was just on stilts in the pics with legs)
You need buzzers for set 2. Just saying.
Anyone know where to reserve a table? Is there a link yet?
If Adelman has any brains, he'll have Jokic POST UP way more. Let's see.
I wanna know what everyone thinks of nuggets odds last 2 weeks +1700. Now +4000
The nicotine ads suuuuck. Boo…
I thought I walked into a work meeting 😂
I get the impression that Adelman doesn't want an aggressive Jokic or as an aggressive Jokic and if the last three games are a reflection of how they are going to utilize him in these playoffs he will be taking a lot less or less FGA which is a dumb tactic.
He's a scoring machine, the best scorer in the league for me, and us unstoppable. Yes, he's a great playmaker and passer too but his teammates aren't able to sink shots near as consistently as he can. It's OK when they're having great shooting nights but the problem they don't do that regularly and he does it with frightening consistency.
We need an aggressive Jokic and an aggressive Jamal like what won us a championship. Both need to be shooting a lot and playing the two-man game creating scoring opportunities for each other
