Ep 696CSG #606: Nuggets WIN GAME 3 and the NBA has JOKIC problem
The Denver Nuggets prevailed over the Miami Heat in Game 3, 109-94. The Nuggets didn't exactly "adjust" to the Heat. Did everything they always have ... just did it better than the 4th quarter of game 2. Jeff talks about how Jokic, Murray and Braun came through for the Nuggets and how the Heat look different when they don't hit every shot. In the second half of the podcast Jeff talks about how the NBA is yes, lazy and they want players to go out and get their own endorsements and advertising ... but on the flip side the league desperately WANTS to promote Jokic and he kind of just doesn't want to be promoted. Which create this issue. The best player in the league and the league he plays in don't know how to benefit each other.Enjoy the show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 695CSG #605: Nuggets lose game 2 at home and it's now a BIG test for Michael Malone
The Nuggets lost at home for the first time in these playoffs in a three point loss to the Miami Heat in game 2.

However, the post game presser's by Jeff Green and Michael Malone served as a contrast and Jeff talks about how Malone's hot headedness is the worst part of his coaching and how you shouldn't listen to his post game pressers but pay close attention to his post practice and pre game pressers.

Ep 654CSG #575: Maybe it's time to bring back hand check in the NBA
With the seeming inability for NBA teams to defend and increasing offensive dominance in the league, Jeff talks about the concept of hand checking. Why over the course of 26 years (from 1979-2005) the league made repeated attempts to curb it and finally made it a strict penalty only after The Malice at the Palace early in the 04-05 season. While this undoubtedly helped out offenses ... it' also made it almost impossible to guard the perimiter on defense.
