About this episode

The episode discusses the Nuggets' early playoff exit, evaluates the team's performance, and analyzes Chris Finch's motivational tactics.

0:00 - Well, that's a wrap. It's another early exit for the Nuggets. This year, it was an even earlier exit than last year! So, now that the whole season is in the books, let's do an autopsy all morning long. What the hell happened?? 17:38 - This is the actual worst case scenario for the Nuggets. You made all these moves in the offseason to build what we ALL SAID was the best roster in franchise history (on paper). And it was WORST THAN LAST YEAR. So now, you have to make moves. You can't run it back. But what moves can you make? How far do you want to go while you're still in the Jokic Window? 33:38 - Chris Finch fabricated a fake narrative that isn't there in order to rally his team. And guess what? Fake or not, it worked. As a coach, you need to find motivation and a rallying cry anywhere you can. And he found it.
