This week in Nuggets talk

The shows spent the week debating Denver's prospects after a rough season opener loss to Oklahoma City. Talk keeps coming back to whether the Nuggets' window is closing due to injuries and depth concerns, though some still see playoff potential if Nikola Jokic stays healthy and guys like Cam Johnson and Trevon Brazile step up. There's also speculation about whether the team might look to trade Jamal Murray if things don't turn around.
