Denver DELIVERS: Jamal Murray SHINES, Nuggets Outlast Mavs and INJURED Cooper Flag, Voting OVER

In this episode, Tony East and Danny Cunningham break down Jamal Murray’s All Star case after another huge game leading the Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets past the Dallas Mavericks, as the injury-riddled Mavs continue their downward spiral. The crew covers Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon’s major contributions, while Naji Marshall, Brandon Williams, and Caleb Martin step up for Dallas as Cooper Flag and Daniel Gafford battle injuries, setting the Mavs on an inevitable tank path. They recap an energetic Chicago Bulls win at the buzzer, thanks to Nikola Vucevic’s throwback performance, and discuss the New York Knicks’ surprise loss to the Sacramento Kings, spotlighting Precious Achiuwa, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and the ongoing concerns about Karl-Anthony Towns’ engagement—with Jalen Brunson also picking up an injury. Nick Angstadt joins from the Mavs’ perspective, while the hosts also touch on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ continued rise led by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, as they down the Philadelphia 76ers and Tyrese Maxey has an off night. Throughout, Tony East and Danny Cunningham debate who deserves to make the NBA All Star team, discuss key injuries, and assess what’s next for struggling squads in a lively tour around the Association.
