This week’s Pickaxe Pundits show is wrapping up another week of streaking for the Denver Nuggets. Zach Mikash and Daniel Lewis break down Denver’s win against the New Orleans Pelicans and whether or not the fans should be encouraged to see Denver grinding out wins even when perhaps they shouldn’t be as close as they have been. Next Mike Olson joins the show to talk about the Nuggets going 2-0 on their quick road trip before returning home to knock off the Utah Jazz. Mike and Zach talk about whether or not the Nuggets should be considered the front runners in the Northwest Division before looking forward to the upcoming week. They debate whether the Boston Celtics or Milwaukee Bucks are a more difficult Eastern Conference matchup and also they take stock on the Memphis Grizzlies and whether their strong start is an indication that they are truly back to being a playoff contender.
