And now the low post. Welcome to the low post podcast. You know there's a team in Denver. I think they're pretty good. They won the championship last year from whatever call 39 at 19 and Nicola Yokich in his last three games. 21 19 and 15 on 10 of 10 shooting. 29 15 and 14 on 12 of seven shooting. Now that's against the wizards and the blazers. Whatever you just have congratulations Denver. You beat bad teams. You can throw those away if you're a Denver skeptic. Going into the red hot Golden State Warriors. Toast to the NBA for the last couple of weeks. Can they become a contender again? A cool 32 16 and 16 on 13 of 24 shooting. Re-asserting his grip on the MVP. And that was a landmark win if the Nuggets need a landmark win. They probably don't. I thought it was a fantastic playoff level performance from them. They brought their a defense. We can talk about that. They brought their a playoff rotation with a twist of Zeke Naji throwing in which I was happy to see. And they overcame a rather large early deficit and allowed crowd. And now as we bring it out of Mars from DnVR sports and other places. They are facing a next five game slate.

What we're going to find out.

How much does this team really care about home court advantage? Home against the Kings. Home against the Heat at Lakers. Home against Phoenix. Home against Boston. The Nuggets are currently third behind Minnesota and Oklahoma City. And they had home court last year for the finals run of course. They have played 27 home games and 31 road games. They got some home games coming to them. And they have certainly come out of the shoot here in the second half of this season like they do care about maybe getting home court advantage. I just want to give the biggest, broadest question for someone who lives this team every day. We just don't talk about the media ESPN because they're in Denver. I mean, you know, I have a soft spot for the Nuggets. I love the Nuggets. I talk about them a lot. But and they're just, I think people think they're just kind of coasting along waiting for the playoffs to start. They are tied for ninth in offense, tied for 10th in defense. That's a good, that's a good number. Plus 4.1 per 100 possessions. That's eighth. Seems underwhelming, right? You start to look back and you're like, how many championship teams have had net ratings in like that three or five inch can't be that many. Oh, I remember one last year's Denver Nuggets because their two best players appear to thrive under high pressure situation. Adam Morris, where are we on this team? You feeling good? You feeling confident? Is confident is where a

year ago? I think probably as confident as a year ago because of course last year they hadn't done it before. So they hadn't proven it this year. They have. But to your point, they've been underwhelming. But I have a theory about this, Zach, that I'm curious what you think. So every year, their, their plus minus is lower than you would expect given their record and given what you think of them. Plus four. I don't even know what the number you said. Plus four or something. There are teams that are plus nine plus 10.
