16 NOV 2023 · Welcome back to the latest Mortcast. On this weeks show:
NBA Players not shaking hands after Nuggets losses. Not as big a deal as you think. With Jokic it is more that, by his own choice, he is outside of the NBA clique.
The Nuggets bench. Well ... Julian Pickett likely isn't the answer but he did play better than Colin Gillespie on defense. The Nuggets are in survival mode unti Jamal gets back due to the Nuggets bench youth.
Kobe vs Shaq: Secret Base just put out a great three part series on their relationship. I suggest everyone check it out. Jeff talks about how he saw himself in Kobe and how that gave him an existential crisis.
Enjoy the show!
8 NOV 2023 · Jon Ekstrom of the Jon of All Trades podcast and producer of Vic Lombardi's Denver joins Jeff to talk about all things Nuggets and 1990's basketball. Honestly it would be hard to categorize this conversation other than to say welcome to a wacky and entertaining conversation from two like minded people who eventually end up chatting about And 1 mixtape. A fun and funny conversation

First Half: Jeff goes over the Nuggets performance from individual players from Nikola Jokic to Michael Porter Jr. Talks about how similar the Nuggets looked to when we last saw them in the NBA Finals and how MPJ's not an 'option' but a wild card special ingredient.

How AD is supposed to be special and just hasn't been and how Lebron is old and people need to accept it. Also Jeff talks about Lakers organizational view of the Nuggets ... how they think they should always beet the Nuggts and are struggling to come to terms with just how good the Nuggets are.

14 OCT 2023 · News and notes edition of the latest Mortcast. This week:
The history of NBA load management: How Gregg Popovich's annoyance at the NBA for scheduling a back to back national tv game led to a decade of increasing load management by analytics driven portions of NBA locker rooms. How resting an old Tim Duncan spiraled into perpetual resting of players.
Homophobia in Sports: I try to explain why homophobia is so hard to eradicate in sports. From the male ego to the assumption your friend has been lying to you ... locker room culture when it comes to having a gay teammate is complex and multi-facited. Can it be changed? Jeff talks about his experiences.

23 SEP 2023 · News and Notes edition of CSG! Jeff is going to try to do this every Saturday. Lets see if he sticks to it. This week:
Damian Lillard rumors: Will Masai Ujiri gamble on another player who doesn't want to play for his team?
Jokic: How long will Jokic play? Will he retire in his prime? If so ... will the Nuggets show more urgency to repeat.
