In the newest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Weekends with Swipa edition, Ryan and Swipa go over the win vs the Phoenix Suns, the loss vs the Sacramento Kings, and why the Denver Nuggets are doing just fine at this stage of the season. Even though it never feels good to lose, the Nuggets are only losing to good teams, and they’re taking care of business.

Ryan and Swipa credit Peyton Watson facing Kevin Durant and Michael Porter Jr. staying consistent. They discuss Jamal Murray’s injury status, and Ryan goes on a Nikola Jokic monologue to appeal to the people. Finally, they discuss whether the Nuggets can go on a big win streak in the next few weeks.

Can the Nuggets stay healthy enough to make that happen? Or will another injury ruin Denver’s flow during the weakest opponent portion of their season?
