17 items this seasonAaron Gordon: Expected to face OKC — Gordon (rest) is expected to play in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Thunder.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Analysis ·
The hosts clarify that Ryan did NOT suggest trading Aaron Gordon to play Brazile (heard as "Trevon Brazil") more. The earlier claim was a joke.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Analysis ·
A host says Aaron Gordon will need to be managed physically in the regular season.
No Aaron Gordon tonight for Denver, per Nuggets coach David Adelman. Everyone else that is healthy is available.
- Podcast Swipa, Locked On Nuggets · Report ·
Swypa called Aaron Gordon 'stupendous' this preseason. Gordon had 8 points and 2 assists against the Clippers.
- Podcast Ryan Blackburn, Locked On Nuggets · Analysis ·
According to Ryan's own calculation, over four preseason games Jokic has played only about 12 minutes alongside two or more bench players. Murray has about 8 such minutes, Gordon 2, and Braun (heard as "Christian Brown"; likely) and Cam Johnson about 4-5 each. He concluded the lineups have not been blended at all.
- Podcast Ryan Blackburn, Locked On Nuggets · Opinion ·
Ryan said Braun rebounded well in the previous preseason game, taking some rebounding load off Aaron Gordon.
- Podcast Swipa, Locked On Nuggets · Opinion ·
Swypa argued the Nuggets have to put Trevon Brazile (heard as "Trevin Brazil"; likely Trevon Brazile) in the rotation, mainly as Aaron Gordon's backup.
- Podcast Matt Moore, Locked On Nuggets · Report ·
The host said the starters looked great. Aaron Gordon 'continues to absolutely dominate': muscling past defenders, beating players to offensive rebounds, and throwing a blind pass to Cam Johnson.
- Podcast Swipa, Locked On Nuggets · Opinion ·
Swiper argued that Brazile (likely Trevon Brazile) is the most natural fit they've ever had for Aaron Gordon's role: he can be placed exactly where Gordon is and can run the baseline. Swiper thinks he has to be in the rotation this year.
- Podcast Ryan Blackburn, Locked On Nuggets · Analysis ·
Ryan names the starting lineup as Christian Brown (likely Christian Braun), Cam Johnson, Nicole Jokic (likely Nikola Jokic), Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. He says Denver kept the group together because it likes what it has seen.
- Podcast Ryan Blackburn, Locked On Nuggets · Opinion ·
Ryan's preferred alternative: rather than one starter, two or three starters should rotate in with bench units consistently. He wants to build non-Jokic lineups featuring Aaron Gordon, Christian Brown (likely Christian Braun), Cam Johnson or Jamal Murray.
- Podcast Matt Moore, Locked On Nuggets · Opinion ·
In a comedic 'prayer' for health, Matt asks that Aaron Gordon's hamstring and 'cap' (possibly calf) stay intact. No current injury is reported.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Report ·
Aaron Gordon had 25 points and 6 rebounds last night. The host thinks ('if I remember correctly') he had three dunks.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Opinion ·
Host opinion: Gordon should play more on the perimeter and take around five threes a game to save his legs and cut interior wear and tear.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Opinion ·
The host argues Adelman needs to find creative ways to reduce the workload of his best players, who are in or near their 30s: Cam Johnson, Jamal Murray (soon), Jokic and Gordon. He believes DeMar DeRozan is 38 but in great shape.
- Podcast Locked On Nuggets host · Opinion ·
The host says he is not on board with Alpha Diallo playing over CB (likely Christian Braun) but insists Diallo must play behind Braun. He relays an unclear 'They're saying' lineup of Cam Johnson, Diallo, Braun (heard as "Christian Round") and Gordon. The source of that lineup is not stated.
