C'mon guys, let's not get DEFENSIVE about today's podcast topics haha (I've already submitted my two weeks). Dave and Kendra, with the help of Michael Malone sound bites, diagnose why Denver's defense has been so porous this season (1:00). The Nuggets are under performing in most phases of the defense, including allowing offensive rebounds, three-point shooting and points in the paint. Which two areas do you prioritize? Which one goes by the wayside (6:15)? Did Utah's defensive adjustments that directly affect Nikola Jokic also, inadvertently, impact Jamal Murray (9:00)? What does Malone think of Michael Porter Jr.'s recent defensive display (14:00)? Is it unfair to judge MPJ's defense, with his experience in mind, on a stage like this? Lastly, the duo predict the outcome of the Utah-Denver series (22:30)!Follow Kendra on Twitter: @kendra_andrewsFollow Dave on Twitter: @DaveDuFourNBA
