On this weeks Pickaxe Pundits show its all about the Denver Nuggets current season long road trip. The group breaks down the disappointing losses to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Miami Heat, then talks about what encouraging signs they saw in the victories over the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards. Next they talk specifically about the Paul Mllsap/Nikola Jokic pairing and whether or not signing Millsap was a mistake. After the break they’ll dive back into the playoff hunt, this time discussing what making or missing the playoffs would mean to the Denver fans and also what changes could happen to the roster, specifically the core, if Denver misses out. Finally, despite the protests of Mr. Olson, Zach tests him and Kayla’s knowledge on the group’s alma mater, Colorado State University.
