MoodSwings: with Liv Moods

Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln…your new favorite sports therapy show. In this episode, Liv dives into the ever-changing MVP race, highlighting why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has emerged as the frontrunner while Nikola Jokic continues to quietly put together another historic season. With Luka Doncic’s injury shaking things up and other contenders like Jaylen Brown and Cade Cunningham entering (and exiting) the conversation, the question becomes: what does “MVP” even mean anymore? Liv also gets real about the frustrations surrounding officiating, free throw disparities, and the overall evolution of the game—while still giving credit where it’s due to SGA’s dominance on both ends of the floor. From there, it’s a quick look at the current playoff picture in both conferences, including key matchups, potential upsets, and why certain teams (like the Spurs and Hawks) feel a little more dangerous than expected. Finally, Liv explains why this postseason could be all about Jamal Murray. With a career year already under his belt, could “Playoff Jamal” somehow reach another level—and what would that mean for the Denver Nuggets’ title chances? 00:00 Intro 01:00 MVP Race 06:20 SGA Breakdown 10:00 What MVP Means 11:30 Jokic Talk 16:15 Jokic Injury 18:25 MVP Verdict 19:00 Playoff Picture 22:40 Jamal Murray

The Denver Nuggets are rolling with a 6-game win streak at the perfect time—but are they truly ready for a deep playoff run? On this episode of Mood Swings, Liv Moods breaks down Denver’s late-season surge, their tight race with the Lakers for playoff seeding, and why defense remains the biggest concern heading into the postseason. Plus, Liv dives into the confusing “Big Val” situation, the importance of keeping Nikola Jokic fresh, and why Tim Hardaway Jr. has officially become her favorite Nugget—and a potential X-factor for a championship push. She also tackles the ultra-tight MVP race, the impact of the 65-game rule, and why Luka Doncic might deserve the nod. Can the Nuggets’ elite offense make up for their defensive gaps?
