Vic Lombardi Show

0:00 - Nate Kreckman broke a microphone in the studio yesterday. Or did he? Krecker hops on the show to stand trial for his alleged crime. 14:12 - The Nuggets hired a Head Coach internally before hiring a GM. Will this cause problems? Will this lead to another Malone/Booth situation? How can we be sure it's different this time?32:01 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKESSSSSSSS

0:00 - The Nuggets gave OKC a hard time. It was a gritty 7 game series. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are in an 0-2 hole to start the series. They don't look good. Does that give you a renewed confidence in the Nuggets starting 5, knowing how well they played against OKC? Maybe they were better than we thought.17:33 - Bruce Brown has been dropping hints on social media that he might want to return to Denver. What salary cap/CBA wizardry would be required to make that happen?32:19 - The CFP has announced a change in the way they'll seed the playoff. Are we a fan? Was this a necessary tweak?

0:00 - Yesterday, Josh Kroenke addressed the media and announced the hiring of David Adelman and the new Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets. Interim no more. How do we feel about the hiring, especially since they don't have a new GM yet?16:36 - Josh K's presser had a common theme yesterday. Most of the Nuggets answers will be "internal." What does that mean exactly?36:23 - Another week, another new low point for the Rockies. They continue to make history for all the wrong reasons! 

0:00 - Rosterwise, what's the first move the Nuggets need to make this offseason?12:26 - It'll be hard for the Nuggets to make a trade that would be immediately impactful. They don't have nearly enough leverage to make a blockbuster trade. Also, have the Avs finally figured out that ever-elusive 2nd line center position? If not, what's the solution?30:59 - Now that the Avs and Nugs are both eliminated, are you watching other playoff games? Will you still tune into NHL and NBA games? Or are you angrily tuning out?

0:00 - Olympic Flag Football is stupid. It's ridiculous. And unsurprisingly, Vic and Mose have something to say about it. 13:56 - Looking at the past 5/6 years of playoffs for the Avalanche and Nuggets...which opponents do you hate the least? We know who we hate the most...but who were the most likeable opponents?31:13 - USC vs Notre Dame is an iconic rivalry in college football history. The contract between the 2 teams is set to expire this year, and USC only offered a 1-year extension. College football rivalries used to mean something, man. 

0:00 - If you were the Nuggets GM, what's the FIRST move you'd make this offseason?16:38 - Let's move to the Avs side. What's the first offseason move the Avs need to make?34:23 - Back in February, Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch complained about how often OKC fouls their opponents, and yet you can't touch SGA. No lies detected. Now, the Wolves and Thunder are facing each other in the Western Conference Finals. Everybody strap in. 

0:00 - The Nuggets started strong in Game 7! OKC looked scared! And then the Nuggets blew it. They started serving up piping hot turnovers and never looked back. So Nuggets fans, if you're bringing up Scott Foster's name at all today, you've lost sight of what actually happened. 13:25 - Christian Braun is due for a contract extension soon, and ESPN's Bobby Marks says CB could command over $30 million per year. Can the Nuggets afford that? More importantly, can they afford to let CB walk?33:28 - What the difference between the Avalanche offseason and the Nuggets offseason in terms of feelings surrounding the team, changed that need to be made, etc?

0:00 - Someone asked Jokic postgame if he still thinks this roster can win a championship as presently constructed, maybe if a couple more guys stayed healthy. Jokic said they didn't win a title, so this roster can't win a title. It's that simple.14:42 - If you believe guys like MPJ and Murray should be traded, what's can you expect in return? What if the return is smaller than you expected? What's the true market value for your tradable pieces?34:56 - Describe your feelings about the Nuggest right now in one word. That's it. One word.

0:00 - The Nuggets got mollywhopped in Game 7 yesterday, but it provided Brett with complete clarity about the state of this team.16:20 - Has David Adelman already earned the head coaching job? Have you seen enough?34:38 - Who are the Untouchables on the Nuggets roster? How about Untouchables within the organization?

0:00 - Vic has something he needs to get off his chest...Field Days just aren't what they used to be...13:54 - What did the Nuggets learn in Game 6 that will help them in Game 7?34:57 - Our final thoughts and predictions for Game 7. Then, it's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKESSSSSSSSS

0:00 - What's the game plan for Game 7? Do you make any changes from Game 6 or go the same route?16:16 - Which fanbase is more nervous right now: the Nuggets or the Thunder? Also, we had a Tale of Two Westbrooks last night. One hurt you significantly, and the other one helped you win.35:55 - Caleb Williams and his dad were **this** close to pulling a John Elway/Eli Manning and refusing to play for Chicago. There's a new ESPN article detailing the whole saga with some...interesting quotes from Caleb's dad. If it's all true, Caleb might be catching some heat in Chicago going forward.

0:00 - Emperor Lombardi was right. The Nuggets won Game 6 and forced a winner take all Game 7 coming up on Sunday. How'd they do it? What went into last night's win?14:58 - This series between the Nuggets and Thunder is unique. It truly has everything, and it's a style of play that satisfies basketball fans of any era. 34:51 - Jamal Murray was so sick that he didn't participate in pregame warmups. But he still suited up, played meaningful minutes, and made a huge impact in the game. What a night for Jamal!

0:00 - Yesterday on PHD, DMac questioned Adelman's decision to play Jokic for the entire 4th quarter. He couldn't have rested for 3 minutes or something? Vic took exception to that and actually called into the show to yell at DMac. 15:58 - What are some quirks of the Broncos 2025 schedule? Will any of these quirks affect their record?34:18 - Is there anything else we can learn about the Nuggets tonight? Will anything surprise you?

0:00 - Brett still isn't a Rory McIlroy guy. In fact, something happened the other day that makes him dislike Rory even more. After that, we've been hyperfocused on the Nuggets during their series with OKC. We haven't talked about the opponent as much. We've barely mentioned SGA at all. Why is that?15:08 - The Broncos released their full 2025 schedule yesterday. Which means...it's time for the annual tradition...a spectacle like no other...it's time...for Moser...to give us his GAME BY GAME PREDITIONS, BABY! That is a dub. Big time win!34:20 - What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory in Game 6 tonight?
