Liv Moods breaks down a wild week across the NFL and NBA — from Ja’Marr Chase’s messy “apology,” to Dak Prescott outplaying Jalen Hurts, to the Broncos’ Super Bowl path, and a major milestone for Shedeur Sanders in his first Browns start. Then Liv welcomes Nuggets beat reporter Gianna Girardi to talk Denver’s injuries, Nikola Jokić’s post-game honesty, OKC’s rise, the Lakers’ LeBron dilemma, and the growing maturity problem around Ja Morant. Plus: Liv shares a personal story about Russell Westbrook and why his late-game takeover deserves more respect. Presented by Landmark Lincoln.
This episode of MoodSwings opens with Liv reacting to Ja’Marr Chase’s apology that manages to address everyone except the one person he actually spit on — Jalen Ramsey. She digs into Dak Prescott’s outstanding season compared to Jalen Hurts, the Cowboys’ wasted potential, and why Denver’s elite defense gives the Broncos a real shot at the Super Bowl. Liv also gives Shedeur Sanders his due after becoming the first Browns QB since 1999 to win in his debut. The conversation shifts to the chaos of the NFC, the Rams’ resurgence, and whether the Eagles’ offense has completely stalled out.
She then brings on Nuggets beat reporter Gianna Girardi to discuss how Denver navigates injuries to Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, and why the Nuggets’ depth makes this season different from years past. They break down Nikola Jokić’s postgame critique after the Kings loss and explain why his leadership style is essential for Denver’s ceiling. The two zoom out to evaluate the entire Western Conference — from OKC’s dominance to LeBron’s aging body and what that means for the Lakers’ ceiling.
Finally, Liv addresses the viral moment between Ja Morant and Klay Thompson, calling out the lack of accountability and maturity surrounding Ja’s recent behavior. The episode ends with a positive twist: Liv shares her genuine, heartfelt interaction with Russell Westbrook after the Clippers’ win in Denver and why his fourth-quarter takeover was a reminder of who he’s always been as a competitor.

Liv Moods
Welcome into another episode of Mood Swings with Liv. Moods. I am Liv moods and in just a moment, I will actually be joined by a very, very special guest. But before we get into that, I have to tell you, of course, this is presented by Landmark Lincoln. Shout out to our friends over at Landmark Lincoln. Check out their location off of Bellevue and Broadway to figure out why they have been the number one Lincoln dealer in Colorado for as long as they have.
00;00;21;00 - 00;00;40;14
Liv Moods
I am a proud new owner of a Lincoln. Nautilus could not love my car more. I could go on for hours. But enough about vehicles. Let's get into the show.
00;00;40;17 - 00;00;59;16
Liv Moods
Welcome everyone to another episode of Mood Swings with Liv. Moods. I'm Liv moods. And like I said, don't go anywhere. Make sure you hang throughout the show, because I will be joined by a very special guest who is going to break down not only the nuggets, but just kind of talk about the NBA season as a whole. So far, we're what, almost two months into the into the regular season so far yet what.
00;00;59;22 - 00;01;20;17
Liv Moods
October 22nd. So one month. Wow. Time really does move very fast. It does. It feels like it should be way, way deeper into the season, but it's not okay. I'm getting all my sports confused. We're going to focus first really quickly on the NFL. As you guys know, typically on Mondays we kind of recap not only the Sunday slate, but just talking about hot topics in the NFL.
00;01;20;17 - 00;01;39;13
Liv Moods
I want to start with one that I actually did not originally plan to talk about, but saw it as I was driving to the studio. I was not on my phone while I was driving. I was actually in the Starbucks line when I saw it. So before you get upset and that is Ja'Marr Chase, his apology to Jalen Ramsey actually let me correct myself.
00;01;39;20 - 00;02;01;16
Liv Moods
He did not apologize to Jalen Ramsey whatsoever in this apology. I'm just going to kind of paraphrase it for you. He basically apologized to fans to the Bengals organization. He said there's no excuse for what he did. If you guys missed it. Ja'Marr Chase was actually suspended for a game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey during a game, which then led to a physical altercation between the two.
00;02;01;18 - 00;02;18;03
Liv Moods
Not only did he spit, but then he also proceeded to lie about it and said, no, I did not spit on that man because the reporter simply asked him in the locker room. He said, you spit on him. He's like, I didn't spit on that guy. He did, and he was caught in 4K. And I think he may have forgotten just how many cameras are in a stadium at a given moment, because he did in fact spit.
00;02;18;03 - 00;02;41;03
Liv Moods
And we did all see it. So his apology today, of course, apologizing to the people you would expect, his team, the NFL, he then went ahead and apologized to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization. He apologized to Jalen Ramsey's employers, but did not apologize to Jalen Ramsey, the man he actually spat on. Now there's going to be a lot of assumptions made here.
00;02;41;03 - 00;02;55;29
Liv Moods
And I'm just going to give you my assumption here. That man is not sorry for spitting. Now he sorry for getting caught. He sorry for letting down his team. He sorry for not being a leader in the NFL because he knows he is one. As for the actual spit that landed on Jalen Ramsey, he's not sorry for that.
00;02;56;05 - 00;03;11;07
Liv Moods
And at the end of the day, we know the type of player that Jalen Ramsey is. He gets in his own you know, problems. And I'm sure he's very mouthy. And he says things that may hit below the belt. And at the end of the day we don't know what led to Ja'Marr Chase spitting on Jalen Ramsey. Was it a joke that went too far?
00;03;11;07 - 00;03;35;27
Liv Moods
Was it something out of pocket and disrespectful? Could have. Could have been for sure. Like I said the last time we discussed this, though, you spit on me and I'm laying hands. I'm doing exactly what Jalen Ramsey did. I don't take kindly to being spat on. I don't think most people do. That being said, I just found it hilarious that Ja'Marr Chase apologized to everyone and their grandma, but not Jalen Ramsey, the person he actually spit on, which to me means he's not sorry.
00;03;35;27 - 00;03;54;15
Liv Moods
He'd probably do it again. And whatever made him spit on Jalen Ramsey in the first place, he felt like it was warranted. Was it warranted? Probably not. Was it appropriate? Certainly not. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. He spit. He got suspended. And he has now since apologized to everyone but the recipient of the spit.
00;03;54;15 - 00;04;08;29
Liv Moods
Yes. It's true. Okay, moving on. A couple other topics I want to talk about really quick. First and foremost, can we talk about the, elephant in the room? Except it's not really an elephant in the room. It's just the truth. These are facts that I'm about to start speaking. Dak Prescott is a better quarterback than Jalen Hurts.
00;04;08;29 - 00;04;23;19
Liv Moods
As it stands it's the truth. And I don't like saying this because I don't like I don't like dealing with you Cowboys fans. You guys are loud. You're obnoxious. It's been your year since I was born. Yes it's been that long. I am 20, almost 28 years old. It has been that long since you believe it's your year.
00;04;23;20 - 00;04;37;10
Liv Moods
Now here's the really sad reality though. You have a quarterback that's playing at such a high level, it should be your year. It should be. It feels like wasted potential that we've got with Dak Prescott right now. Because I don't have faith in this Cowboys team to turn it around and make a deep playoff run I just don't.
00;04;37;17 - 00;04;59;17
Liv Moods
This is a Swiss cheese defense. We saw what happened versus the Denver Broncos, an offense that at times struggles to heat up heat. They were heating up just fine versus this Dallas Cowboys defense because of how bad it really, really is. That being said, Dak Prescott playing phenomenally and outplaying not only Jalen Hurts versus Jalen Hurts, but when you look at the season as a whole, he is a better quarterback right now.
00;04;59;17 - 00;05;14;26
Liv Moods
And that's just the facts. As much as I give the Dallas Cowboys a very, very hard time, I do have to give credit where it's due. And of course say that yeah. Dak Prescott you're having a really stinking good year. And for that I've got to give you your respect. So here you go. It's not going to happen very often.
00;05;14;26 - 00;05;31;04
Liv Moods
So don't get you know don't get familiar with this Cowboys fans I will still find a way I'm sure to do a little trash talking. But for now yeah Dak Prescott better quarterback than Jalen Hurts. You heard it here first okay. Next up the Denver Broncos. Do they have a path to the Super Bowl. Yes they do.
00;05;31;09 - 00;05;44;26
Liv Moods
And we're going to stop pretending like they don't. This is an elite championship level defense I talk about it every week on this show. This offense despite how you think they should be winning games they're still winning games. Cry about it. They're nine and two. I don't know what to tell you. They're coming off of a bye week.
00;05;44;26 - 00;06;02;03
Liv Moods
I think this defense specifically desperately needed this rest for their body. So I can only imagine that our defense is just going to look better and more rested. You know, they say rest versus rust. But I think this defense just needed to rest. At the end of the day. They've been playing a lot of football as of late.
00;06;02;05 - 00;06;17;06
Liv Moods
You're also getting some important pieces back, hopefully ASAP. You're getting back and Alex Singleton, you're getting back. Pats are ten. And look at what this defense has been able to do with those players missing. They still have not really missed a step. So is there a path for the Broncos to make it to the Super Bowl? Yes.
00;06;17;06 - 00;06;31;15
Liv Moods
You're damn right there is. Because defense wins championships and we have one of the best in the NFL. That's a fact. We also have a quarterback that knows how to win in very, very clutch ways. Whether or not we think he should start a little bit quicker. Yeah. In a perfect world, hell yes. He starts in the first quarter.
00;06;31;19 - 00;06;47;02
Liv Moods
You don't think as a diehard Denver Broncos fan, I don't want to see him do what he does in the fourth quarter for all four quarters? Of course I do. But at the end of the day, they're still winning. So is there a path for them? Of course there is. Of course there is. The only thing that I think we all worry about in this very moment is their run game.
00;06;47;02 - 00;07;03;18
Liv Moods
And unfortunately, Jake Dobbins being injured is something that we cannot control. RJ Harvey to me, though, is a joker. He's someone that you can utilize if you truly commit to the run game, which we know Sean Payton at times has some commitment issues with the run game, so if he can get through that, they can kind of solidify that play calling.
00;07;03;18 - 00;07;18;17
Liv Moods
I'm not worried. I really I feel like this Broncos team is positioned in a really great spot to make it to the Super Bowl, if that is their destiny, which I believe it could be. So stop being haters and just accept what it is. The Broncos are good and they win a lot of football games. It is what it is.
00;07;18;19 - 00;07;37;26
Liv Moods
Okay, a couple more things. Actually. Two more things. That's it. The NFC is wide open except for not at all. Olivia why did you put that. Why did you write. It's wide open. If you were going to say no it's not because I can. And here's the deal. It actually technically from a record perspective, when you're looking at how tight some of these divisions are, it is wide open.
00;07;37;26 - 00;07;57;14
Liv Moods
But at the end of the day, right now, it feels like it definitely belongs to the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, the Rams look really effing good. They're very complete football team Matthew Stafford I think any time you've got Matthew Stafford on your team you are positioned and primed for a championship. You are. He is that type of quarterback.
00;07;57;19 - 00;08;22;07
Liv Moods
He is a championship caliber quarterback. So we're watching Matthew Stafford have a phenomenal season. I actually started the NFL season before the season started, saying Matthew Stafford as a sleeper MVP pick. I don't hate it because we know what he's capable of when he's in full health and he has weapons and he certainly has those. It's also a very well coached team and yeah, I think the NFC right now is the Rams if they want it.
00;08;22;09 - 00;08;42;00
Liv Moods
Honestly if they keep playing the way that they're playing, I don't really feel super confident in what the Eagles are doing. I think that their offense is an absolute disaster. You've got guys like Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown that are doing little to nothing this season, and I think it has a lot to do with the offensive coordinator and just how this offense is operating from top to bottom.
00;08;42;00 - 00;08;58;16
Liv Moods
So I don't feel great about the Eagles. Do I think that the Eagles are talented? Yeah, of course I do. But I don't think that they have the dynamic necessary to win a championship unfortunately. So I'm going to say no to the Eagles this season in this moment and say the Rams they're kind of tearing it up and good for them.
00;08;58;19 - 00;09;22;07
Liv Moods
Finally last little NFL topic here. Sure. Sanders finally got his start with the Cleveland Browns. And here's the deal. He is the first Browns quarterback to win in his first career start since the year 1999. I was one years old when that happened. Last, prior to Sanders, Browns quarterbacks had been oh, and 17 in their first starts, the longest such streak in NFL history.
00;09;22;08 - 00;09;39;11
Liv Moods
Now, here's the deal. I just need everybody to just take what's happening at face value. Should or Sanders got to start and he won a football game. Let's leave it there. Let's leave it there I understand who he was playing the sorry sorry Raiders. But I also know that my Denver Broncos played the sorry, sorry Raiders and didn't really look like a super complete football team despite being one.
00;09;39;11 - 00;09;52;02
Liv Moods
So at the end of the day, we're not going to downplay his moment. We're not going to take away from his moment because it was against the Raiders. We're going to give him a true chance and a true opportunity. He got to start and he won a football game and he had some really great moments in that football game.
00;09;52;02 - 00;10;09;06
Liv Moods
So just give him the credit he deserves okay. Now yeah he has a lot to prove. Still on this level. Of course he does. We've only scratched the surface. We should do our Sanders and versus a Raiders team. I think most quarterbacks are expected to rise to the occasion. This Raiders team is broken. They have a lot of things they need to fix.
00;10;09;06 - 00;10;29;24
Liv Moods
But solder Sanders still won this football game, so give him the credit he deserves and allow him to grow, allow him to mature. I think at the end of the day, the only beef I'm going to have is if this Browns organization finds every way to stand in the way of Sanders, you've now given him a chance. And regardless of who you played, he proved to you that he can do it.
00;10;29;26 - 00;10;47;01
Liv Moods
So now don't don't switch up and be weird and move really weird, because then I'm going to have a problem with the Browns organization. Big, a bigger problem than I already have. They're a hot mess. I've never agreed with any of the moves that they make, so I'm expecting the worst out of them, if we're being honest. But I'm hoping for the best because of.
00;10;47;04 - 00;11;07;00
Liv Moods
Or Sanders. For his sake, I hope he gets a true opportunity to continue to grow and shine and get minutes and start in football games to see what he's really about. So congratulations to Schroeder. On a big win. You know, it was a big win. And congratulations to him. Hopefully this is only the beginning for him. But only time will tell there okay.
00;11;07;00 - 00;11;26;04
Liv Moods
That kind of concludes all my NFL talk. And really quickly before we switch gears into the world of the NBA. If you guys did not hear at the top of the show, this is presented, as always by Landmark Lincoln and landmark Lincoln. This holiday season is doing something very, very special. So let's take a look and see what that special thing is.
00;11;26;06 - 00;11;32;12
Speaker 2
At Landmark Lincoln. We've been serving Colorado families for generations, but what matters most is giving back.
00;11;32;13 - 00;11;39;05
Liv Moods
This November and December, $250 from every car sold will go towards Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.
00;11;39;08 - 00;11;42;11
Speaker 2
Together we can find cures for childhood cancer.
00;11;42;11 - 00;11;45;15
Liv Moods
One car, one family, one here at a time.
00;11;45;17 - 00;11;47;13
Speaker 2
Let's drive hope forward. Colorado.
00;11;47;17 - 00;11;54;19
Liv Moods
Every mile matters. You, you.
00;11;54;22 - 00;12;05;27
Liv Moods
Hello you guys. We are kind of a hot mess at the moment. The microphone was being stubborn. I just filled my entire coffee on the floor. John is standing in front of me and he's like, great. Thanks so much. What am I supposed to do about that? Well, I guess we're going to clean it up after the show.
00;12;05;27 - 00;12;25;05
Liv Moods
But, guys, a little bit of a hot mess here. We're going to switch gears and move into the world of basketball. The NBA. And like I said, I'm joined by a very, very special guest, Gianna. First, Gianna, before we get into talking about basketball, talking about the Denver Nuggets, I just want to give you kind of an opportunity to introduce yourself to people.
00;12;25;07 - 00;12;32;06
Liv Moods
Where did you go to school? What got you into sports? What have you done leading up to this moment? Because you are now our beat reporter for.
00;12;32;06 - 00;12;55;21
Speaker 3
The Denver Am. I am indeed. Well, hello, everybody. My name is Gianna Girardi. I went to Sue Boulder. I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, so I've been a Colorado sports fan my whole entire life. I've been super involved with the nuggets, actually interned with Altitude Sports, so covered the Nuggets and Avs. There in college and kind of just have had a passion for sports my whole life.
00;12;55;28 - 00;13;19;18
Speaker 3
Played sports growing up, specifically soccer. I was a big soccer girl. But I grew up very involved in the MLB. My uncle actually played and managed pretty much my whole entire childhood. So I'm a very big baseball fan in turn, kind of led to my passion in sports and my passion for reporting. So I worked with the Rockies all summer.
00;13;19;18 - 00;13;35;21
Speaker 3
I'll be back with the Rockies next season as well. And this basketball season, I'm working with Gorilla Sports, covering the nuggets as a beat reporter, which has been so extremely fun. The nuggets are such an exciting team right now, so all good things to say and excited to get to know all of you.
00;13;35;26 - 00;13;54;10
Liv Moods
Yeah, it's going to be a fun year. I think you, you definitely have a good this is a good year to be covering this team because I think sure, that the opportunities for the Denver Nuggets this season are kind of endless. And I wanted to get your perspective. Injuries happen. We know that they happen. It's a very common thing unfortunately, especially in the NBA.
00;13;54;10 - 00;14;13;09
Liv Moods
But there are two pretty notable injuries. But I wanted to get your perspective on we know that Christian Brown is out, 4 to 6 weeks with an ankle sprain. And actually, you guys, when he went down, I literally said to myself, I hope it's broken. I hope it's broken, and I hope not, for it's because a sprain can last and linger for God knows how long.
00;14;13;09 - 00;14;31;29
Liv Moods
It is just the most obnoxious thing. And then AG Aaron Gordon, one of the most valuable, if not one like the most valuable in in recent games. Denver nugget Mr. nugget out with a grade two hamstring strain, which is the same exact injury that he dealt with last season, and we know just how long he was out last season.
00;14;31;29 - 00;14;51;04
Liv Moods
It felt like forever, honestly. It really, really did. So 4 to 6 weeks is what we're being quoted for these guys in terms of how long they could both potentially be out. Initial thoughts on on what this team is going to look like without them. Do you worry about the Denver Nuggets without AG and without CB? And yeah.
00;14;51;08 - 00;14;52;22
Liv Moods
Your initial thoughts on these injuries?
00;14;52;25 - 00;15;13;04
Speaker 3
Yeah. Well, first, hoping for a speedy and quick recovery for both of them. I never want anyone to be injured. To sum it up, it sucks. Honestly, that's the best way to put it. It sucks. Missing two of our starters. Especially defensively. I mean, AG with just being one of our bigger, bigger players. I mean, he's got that three point shot that's been coming in.
00;15;13;04 - 00;15;32;25
Speaker 3
He's been taking some of that slack for Jamal Murray helping him offensively. So ag on either side of the ball. And then CB defensively is going to be missed. They're both going to be missed. But honestly I still do have faith in our nuggets. If you would have asked me any other season I would say this would be a lot more mental than it is this year.
00;15;32;28 - 00;15;47;25
Speaker 3
We've got a deeper team. Our bench is stronger. I worry a lot less about them when we're missing those key factors. Obviously. I'd love it if they were all healthy, of course. Course, those wins would be a little easier to come by, but I'm not too worried.
00;15;47;27 - 00;16;05;04
Liv Moods
Agreed. No, I think this is. This is why you add depth to your team. This is these are the moments that you're like, okay, this is why you do what you do. This is why you add a guy behind the college coach. Because we've been very blessed with Nikola Jokic being a very healthy superstar for the majority of his career.
00;16;05;04 - 00;16;21;21
Liv Moods
And at the end of the day, you know, these their bodies can only take so much and things happen. And injuries are very, very common in this league. So yeah I I'm totally with you that of all seasons for it to happen this early, this is definitely one where it doesn't make me feel as stressed. Now, do I like it?
00;16;21;21 - 00;16;42;07
Liv Moods
Of course not. One of the positive things that I personally am kind of looking at when it comes to this. Aaron Gordon, CB injury situation is a guy like Peyton Watson. You guys know how I feel about my boy, what he is my guy and I just this is like a total pie like Stan account. And any slander of pot will get you absolutely blocked.
00;16;42;07 - 00;16;58;09
Liv Moods
And I will just. I will run you through the mud. I'm not kidding. I will do it. No part is truly to me as a young superstar, I don't think people realize just how young Peyton Watson truly, truly is. But we just saw him the other night. Career high 32 points. We know what he can do on both sides of the court.
00;16;58;09 - 00;17;18;13
Liv Moods
We know the defensive upside of having poured out there the energy that he brings, and now you're seeing some of that offensive production from him as well. His three point shot is starting to fall and we actually saw him. Also took take over for Aaron Gordon last season when Aaron Gordon was dealing with all the different injuries he was dealing with the hamstring again, all the things he took over for him and did a really great job.
00;17;18;13 - 00;17;39;23
Liv Moods
So again, it kind of confirms your point, which is the depth on this team is going to give us a little bit of an insurance policy during this time where hopefully we can keep winning games because we know how the Western Conference typically stacks up. One win that we may not think is a big deal versus the Sacramento Kings or one loss, I should should say, one loss versus the Sacramento Kings early November.
00;17;39;23 - 00;17;57;08
Liv Moods
In November may not seem like a big deal, but down the line it can matter a lot. It can be the difference between a two seed and a three seed, or even a two seed and a 60. That's how tight the Western Conference can really be. So the depth that this nuggets team added is definitely making me feel a little bit better about those two injuries.
00;17;57;08 - 00;18;11;06
Liv Moods
But of course, like you said, in a perfect world you have a healthy team. I mean, you just want to see these guys play. They're a great basketball team, and I feel like they were starting to find a really good rhythm and some really good chemistry. So it sucks to see that kind of get cut in half a little bit.
00;18;11;06 - 00;18;27;28
Liv Moods
But you do have guys like Pat. You've had Tim Hardaway as a new ad who has in my opinion had some very KCP energy. He's reliable from the three point line when he needs to be. So you've got the depth there that you can rely on. And honestly I think sometimes these things work out for the best.
00;18;27;28 - 00;18;44;28
Liv Moods
When you have young guys like Pat that are able to get some substantial minutes so that you're building trust with Peyton Watson and then down the line when you know it's a playoff spot and you need his defense, you need Swat in action. You trust him and you know that he's he's going to bring it bring it to the table.
00;18;44;28 - 00;19;05;05
Liv Moods
So, yeah, I definitely think that, these injuries suck, but hopefully they can keep winning basketball games because we know that down the line in the Western Conference, every win matters. Jokic made some comments following the game where you know I love this guys I have to say this right to the cameras face okay guys right to your face I got to say this.
00;19;05;08 - 00;19;23;28
Liv Moods
You guys are so concerned with everything Jokic says. You you know I saw a lot of people commenting on his comments and saying you know he just sounds like he you know trying to find a negative spin on what Nikola Jokic said. And to be honest with you, Yogesh said nothing wrong. Jokic was stating we've got a lot of work to do and they do.
00;19;23;28 - 00;19;49;05
Liv Moods
I think any person that's actually watching this nuggets team all the way through for four quarters so far this season knows that they're not actually playing their best basketball, which is a great, great feeling considering they're the third best team in the Western Conference and still have work to do. So let's quickly play his comments. Following the loss to Sacramento and former teammate Russell Westbrook and then we'll get your thoughts, Gianna, on what you think about what Nikola Jokic said.
00;19;49;06 - 00;19;49;18
Liv Moods
Here it is.
00;19;49;20 - 00;20;13;13
Speaker 2
Take all three for us USD 12 and four right now. Obviously with that this has been a big part of that. Missing multiple starters in some of these games. As you have just Howard, what's the process like of trying to figure out sort of the right rotations, the right sort of chemistry with different guys when when you have I day, I think 2000 for just I probably will be charging for we are not that good.
00;20;13;13 - 00;20;40;29
Speaker 2
I think we need to be much better if you want to do something, big. Yes, we we, we play better. We do better. But I think we need to do. Or consistently every night, to where we possession. Even if you make a mistake, if I do a correctly mistake from, from, From our system.
00;20;40;29 - 00;21;01;04
Speaker 2
What we want to do. Make a mistake. Don't make a mistake. I'm just going to do something, you know? So, I think we need to be more about where I think, we need to be, muscular. We need to have a sense of urgency. Urgency of of.
00;21;01;07 - 00;21;20;06
Speaker 2
Rebounds, sort of being in the right place, confident. Shooting the ball. The from just to shoot. So I think driving for just, I will say to road, be sure, but, we we can definitely be better. I mean, it'll be beneficial to do some to.
00;21;20;08 - 00;21;26;20
Liv Moods
Okay. I mean, I didn't see anything wrong with what he said. I think he's just a leader and he wants them to be the best version of themselves. But how did you take it?
00;21;26;24 - 00;21;43;14
Speaker 3
I 100% agree. I also think that it's yogurt. She can say what he wants to say. He can do what he wants to do. Everyone can throw a fit, but he truly is just the best basketball player in the world and that truly just shows his championship MVP mentality. We're not playing our best basketball. We need to be better.
00;21;43;14 - 00;21;46;10
Speaker 3
Yep. And no one should throw a fit about it. Yeah.
00;21;46;12 - 00;22;05;28
Liv Moods
And you know what? You bring up a good point to where it's like he's he can move this way because he's Nikola Jokic. But more importantly one of the things I always praise Nikola Jokic on is the way in which he elevates the players around him. How do you think he elevates players? He holds them accountable. He doesn't settle for anything less than greatness.
00;22;05;28 - 00;22;26;05
Liv Moods
And that's what makes playing with Nikola Jokic. In fact, I would probably go as far to say that's what makes it so easy to play with Nikola Jokic. He makes your life easier. He makes your job easier because he can see the game of basketball through a lens that I don't think many people can. He's a his his IQ his basketball IQ is exceptionally high.
00;22;26;05 - 00;22;45;14
Liv Moods
And so things that you know may come across as him being super critical or wanting more from his guys in my opinion is why they love to play with him. It's why there's plenty of players out there that are like, damn, I wish I could play with a guy like Nikola Jokic because he doesn't settle for anything less than superb, and that's why he is the player that he is.
00;22;45;14 - 00;23;14;24
Liv Moods
So I love it. I don't want them to be satisfied with, you know, just getting by average teams because at the end of the day, Diana, their schedule gets a whole lot tougher moving forward. We haven't even seen some of the toughest competition yet. Right. And so you're not going to be able to win a game versus the Lakers if you're not rebounding the ball or you're not taking confident three point shots, or OKC is another one, you know, there's going to be a world where what they're doing now no longer gets them by.
00;23;14;24 - 00;23;29;17
Liv Moods
So they have to elevate themselves. And that's what Nikola Jokic wants to see. He doesn't want to wait in the middle of a game to figure it out. Well let's figure it out now and make sure that we're positioned in a good spot to get some wins under our belt. So yeah I don't see anything wrong with it.
00;23;29;21 - 00;23;46;13
Speaker 3
And we have to remember that this was after a loss to the Kings. He's going to come in aggravated. He's going to come in a little heated. He dropped 44 points I believe in that game. So you'll get your alone probably frustrated with the loss there. So coming in and saying there's things that they need to do better 100% okay by him.
00;23;46;13 - 00;23;58;27
Speaker 3
And I stand by his response honestly. And this early in the season, every team is feeling that way. And every team should be feeling that way because you should be improving night and night out. So you are at the top of your game by the time that playoffs roll around.
00;23;58;27 - 00;24;15;13
Liv Moods
Absolutely. And again, it's so interesting because this nuggets team has a very bad habit. My God, they send me over the edge most seasons. They have a very bad habit of not really showing us who they are until like springtime when the tulips are blooming and I'm like, hello? We've been at this. Where have you been? Like, what are you guys up to?
00;24;15;20 - 00;24;32;20
Liv Moods
But what we're seeing now is, I think a little bit more accountability, a little bit more focus, a little bit more motivation, especially out of a guy like Jamal Murray who playoff Jamal. We always say playoff Jamal. And to me that actually sometimes it pisses me off to hear playoff Jamal because I'm like playoff Jamal should just be Jamal Murray.
00;24;32;22 - 00;25;04;03
Liv Moods
That's the same person. But it's not. Though in seasons past Jamal doesn't show you who he really is or what he's really capable of. Until March, April, May. And you've been waiting all season to see it. But now you're seeing it. You're seeing Jamal really locked in. You're seeing him hungry. You're seeing him focused. Similar energy I'm getting from that 2023 championship run where everyone was locked in and had the same focus and priority, and Jokic is going to be the one that's going to be, you know, initiating those conversations and initiating the count the accountability.
00;25;04;03 - 00;25;24;10
Liv Moods
But I think it's across the board. I mean it wouldn't shock me to know if or to find out that a guy like Tim Hardaway is holding young guys accountable. I mean, he's a vet. He's been in this league for a very, very long time. So I love the accountability. I am always I mean, in a perfect world, every Denver Nuggets got 40 points, ten rebounds and ten assists every game.
00;25;24;12 - 00;25;40;02
Liv Moods
Sorry. Isn't that what we want. We we want to watch the best basketball possible. So yeah let's let's get let's get more rebounds. Let's let's have a little bit more of a confident three point shot. I am totally with Nikola Jokic here I want to ask your perspective Diana on just kind of the league as a whole. And we're taking a step back.
00;25;40;02 - 00;25;55;26
Liv Moods
And we're looking at it from a bird's eye view. You've got the East which is weird as the east. It does not make sense to me right now. And it's going to change. We know it's very, very early in the season, but right now you've got the Detroit Pistons in the lead with a 14 and two record.
00;25;55;26 - 00;26;10;14
Liv Moods
I if you would have held a gun to my head and said do you think this is going to happen? I would have said no probably not. But they are in the lead. What are your are you noticing anything out east or you kind of feeling like what we see now is not going to be what we see later?
00;26;10;15 - 00;26;17;28
Speaker 3
The East is always, always confusing to me, whether the West is where the real basketball is played, in my opinion.
00;26;17;28 - 00;26;18;15
Liv Moods
I agree with you.
00;26;18;15 - 00;26;33;02
Speaker 3
And the East is much less of a competition. So seeing anybody kind of take that top spot in the top of the leaderboard is always a surprise to me, because I think majority of the teams in the West are going to defeat that team at the end of the day.
00;26;33;03 - 00;26;33;29
Liv Moods
So no, I agree.
00;26;34;04 - 00;26;39;15
Speaker 3
Honestly, it's always kind of mumbo jumbo in my head. A little bit of whatever's going on out there.
00;26;39;19 - 00;26;59;02
Liv Moods
This is weird, guys. That's what we're trying to get out here. The East is just weird. We can't figure it out. Now. Give me your perspective on the West because we've got OKC 17 and one. The Lakers 12 and four. The nuggets also 12 and four I want to ask your perspective really quickly on the Lakers. How much more dangerous do the Lakers become when LeBron James is back in action.
00;26;59;02 - 00;27;22;08
Liv Moods
Or you know grandpa with the sciatica situation going on here God love him. By the way, you guys LeBron James in NBA world is a grandpa. It is what it is. You know this is not me being disrespectful if I'm moving that way at his age. I am doing a lot of things right in my life. But when you're looking at the age of the league, he is, he's in geriatric mode.
00;27;22;09 - 00;27;39;28
Liv Moods
He just is. When you start getting little sciatica situations, that is a that's an old person injury. It is like, I know this is the truth. So is there a world where you throw LeBron James healthy back into the mix? And I don't want to say it does more harm than good because that's crazy. This is LeBron James we're talking about here.
00;27;39;28 - 00;27;47;04
Liv Moods
But do the Lakers become more dangerous when he gets back or do you kind of expect it to be all the same when he returns?
00;27;47;06 - 00;28;11;12
Speaker 3
Honestly good question there I like that. LeBron James obviously one of the best basketball players in the world. I think sometimes it can be a little detrimental to mess with the chemistry and the vibe that they've got going on, and they've been playing great basketball. I mean, they're 12 and four. Sometimes you don't want to mess up the good thing you've got going on, but it is LeBron James.
00;28;11;12 - 00;28;14;27
Speaker 3
So I feel I don't know, it's kind of hard to say.
00;28;14;27 - 00;28;32;00
Liv Moods
I know it is. It's so this is like the weirdest time I think we're living in because it feels like a fever dream a little that I was on social media and saw a sentence on Instagram that said LeBron James and G League in the same sentence. I was like, What are we talking about? What kind of planet am I living on?
00;28;32;00 - 00;28;35;08
Liv Moods
Where LeBron James is doing G League stuff?
00;28;35;08 - 00;28;36;18
Speaker 3
Now that's a hot take for sure.
00;28;36;18 - 00;28;55;11
Liv Moods
It's crazy. You know, like it's crazy that these are these are conversations. People are having to get his body prepped and ready. He's doing different things. And it's just like so it makes me wonder how serious has this injury been for him. Has it made him do some reflecting and be like, oh gosh. Like at the end of the day, time is a thief.
00;28;55;14 - 00;29;00;21
Liv Moods
And no matter how amazing LeBron James is, he can't stop his body from no.
00;29;00;21 - 00;29;03;08
Speaker 3
You have the time to shine. Time to let it go.
00;29;03;08 - 00;29;25;05
Liv Moods
And he has done a lot in his career. And he's put his body through a lot in his career. So it does make me wonder if there is a world in which LeBron is just getting to the point where he's a little slower than normal, he's not as fast as normal. You know, he's not as strong. There's a world where we get LeBron James back in, and he looks a little different than what we've been accustomed to.
00;29;25;05 - 00;29;41;26
Liv Moods
And that is again still I always joke and say Jokic is bad game is other players best game you know. And so we're probably going to see that with LeBron James. My point is I don't I don't I see Lakers fans entertaining the conversation a lot about look at us. We're 12 and four. We're doing really really well.
00;29;41;26 - 00;30;00;12
Liv Moods
And we get LeBron James back. We're going to be even better. And it's like I don't know I don't know if you're going to be better because to your point, you don't sometimes want to mess with chemistry that's working for you. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I'm not saying adding LeBron James back into anything is going to make it worse, but I just don't know how serious this injury is.
00;30;00;12 - 00;30;20;03
Liv Moods
At the end of the day, as goaded as LeBron James is and he is one of one and he is phenomenal and he's made it this far. I mean, he's been playing basketball for 20 years and doing it at the highest level. That being said, even LeBron James has to age. Even his body is going to have creaks and aches and pains and things.
00;30;20;03 - 00;30;36;04
Liv Moods
And it just makes me wonder, are we are we ending it? Is the end near for LeBron James in the NBA? And I don't even want to say that out loud, because at the end of the day, I don't know a world where he's not playing in this league. I think it will be a culture shock for all.
00;30;36;07 - 00;30;53;26
Liv Moods
But you know, the Lakers are they're on a roll right now and I just don't know. I don't know if adding LeBron James back automatically makes them more threatening. I think you naturally have LeBron James on your side and you feel maybe a little more comfortable, especially because he's been there done that. We know that experience matters in the playoffs.
00;30;53;26 - 00;31;14;13
Liv Moods
But I don't know. I've seen Lakers fans talk kind of using that to their advantage. Like oh LeBron's not even playing. And it's like Cabot. Is he going to play the way that we were used to watching him play? I don't know because the whole sciatica thing is is you know, I think my grandma had that before. You know, I'm just saying like his body, at the end of the day, you could only do so much before.
00;31;14;13 - 00;31;23;28
Liv Moods
It's like he's just getting older, you know, as good as he is, but he's he's just getting older and good for him. I got to, to be able to play as long as he is played.
00;31;23;28 - 00;31;25;09
Speaker 3
But absolutely amazing.
00;31;25;11 - 00;31;37;07
Liv Moods
Amazing. So Lakers are, as of right now, a threat. And I would like to assume only get more threatening when LeBron comes back, but only time will tell OKC do you think OKC can be stopped?
00;31;37;09 - 00;31;39;07
Speaker 3
I mean that is the team to beat.
00;31;39;08 - 00;31;44;06
Liv Moods
I hate it, I hate it so much. They already know how I feel and I Stan that basketball team. Oh god.
00;31;44;06 - 00;32;18;25
Speaker 3
Yeah. They make me pretty nervous. I mean, yeah, coming off of last year and having majority of their team return and SGA coming off his MVP, which don't ask me how I feel because I would say that yo could should have won. Of course. Of course it does make me a little nervous. I think if the nuggets are able to put the pieces together that they have been lacking in kind of shape up and those nitty gritty mistakes that they are making, I do I do see us being, I don't know, productive against them, but they make me pretty nervous.
00;32;18;27 - 00;32;19;24
Speaker 3
I'm not gonna lie.
00;32;19;25 - 00;32;40;20
Liv Moods
Naturally. Oh God, I know I hate it. They I think they make everybody nervous, right? I mean, they were virtually unstoppable last season and like you said, brought back the majority of their team. And so the expectation is that they're unstoppable. Again. That being said, you look at how many struggles this Denver Nuggets team had last season and they still forced a game seven.
00;32;40;23 - 00;32;58;18
Liv Moods
They still competed. They still did push the limits with this OKC team and kind of made OKC sweat a little bit. And I like that. And I think now you've got a version of the Denver Nuggets that's more complete. It's deeper. They've got a little bit more intention behind their defense. There's more defensive effort there. You've got a backup big behind Jokic.
00;32;58;22 - 00;33;07;27
Liv Moods
You're going to get arrested Jokic come playoff time. So I just think you know you look at it. And yes you look at what they're doing right now. They've only lost what 1 or 2 games. Maybe one.
00;33;07;27 - 00;33;08;26
Speaker 3
I think one that'll piss.
00;33;08;26 - 00;33;09;23
Liv Moods
Me off I think it is.
00;33;09;25 - 00;33;10;27
Speaker 3
I believe it's one.
00;33;10;27 - 00;33;25;12
Liv Moods
They've only lost one game. They were unstoppable last season. Brought most of their pieces back unstoppable again this season it seems. But you also look at the nuggets made them sweat and they were a very incomplete version of themselves. So to your point.
00;33;25;19 - 00;33;35;03
Speaker 3
The nuggets are a better team than they were then. But I question for you, do you think after last year their confidence will have any factor in that?
00;33;35;06 - 00;33;51;07
Liv Moods
OKC's confidence. Oh for sure. Yeah. Because at the end of the day, I think the largest concern for people with OKC last season was their lack of experience. Now they have it. Now they've done it. Now they've forced game sevens and they've pushed it. And they've you know, they've gone through the West very comfortably in the regular season.
00;33;51;07 - 00;34;11;07
Liv Moods
And they they've done it now. So of course yeah that that adds another element where you can't really hold their lack of experience over their head anymore because they have it now. They did it. They've been there, done that. The only thing I could see potentially in that same conversation, in that same realm, maybe it being a negative is do they get a little too comfortable?
00;34;11;08 - 00;34;28;23
Liv Moods
Do they get a little too? I thought, why is their confidence too high. And then they kind of let their guard down with teams thinking we're good. You know we're dominant. And then there's a sneak attack. You know, like it does. There's a world where the same thing, you know, my dad always said to me growing up, what makes you good makes you bad, right?
00;34;28;23 - 00;34;45;15
Liv Moods
And that's the truth. So their confidence could help propel them even further. But it could also hinder them if they get a little too comfortable and sit back and kick their feet up and think, oh, we're good. You know, we're chilling. So I think it kind of goes both ways. And I like that it's up to them.
00;34;45;17 - 00;35;07;25
Liv Moods
And their level of maturity which I don't think they have a ton. Sorry. There's the jab. I don't think they have a ton of that. So you know I would say it's up to OKC how they utilize the now experience that they have from last season. Do they let it make them cocky and comfortable or do they get even better because they have been there done that and they know how this goes.
00;35;07;27 - 00;35;33;06
Liv Moods
Only time will tell. But God, I hope it's, I hope it's the the cocky comfortable right where their feet are up. Not. It's just go in and absolutely handle business. I want to talk to you about another topic unrelated to the Denver Nuggets, but on the same theme of maturity, perhaps. Comfortableness. Perhaps, Andy, do we have the clip of the moment?
00;35;33;09 - 00;35;35;12
Liv Moods
Yeah we do. We're going to run this clip for you.
00;35;35;12 - 00;35;36;03
Speaker 3
You're talking about.
00;35;36;03 - 00;35;49;28
Liv Moods
Yeah, we're going to run this clip for you guys, and then I'm just going to go in really quick because this is like a version of off my chest. And I just have I have some things to say. And then I would like to get Gianna's opinion because I'm sure she has. So first let's look at what happened between Klay Thompson and John Morant.
00;35;49;28 - 00;35;51;17
Liv Moods
And then I'm going to give you my thoughts here. It is.
00;35;51;20 - 00;35;54;21
Speaker 2
Something to say that I'm just I'm just.
00;35;54;26 - 00;35;56;17
Speaker 3
Going to see that the first time.
00;35;56;17 - 00;36;07;10
Speaker 2
I saw that the first draft and where he comes from, I don't know what you're going to play tonight. So you should have been in the locker room.
00;36;07;12 - 00;36;23;26
Liv Moods
You guys, I don't I genuinely don't think you understand how agitated this made me. And you guys, if you were tuning in to last show, you know that I spoke about John Morant and I'm going to speak about him again, and then I'm going to let Gianna have her moment. But I, I have got to say a couple of things, because this is so exceptionally disappointing to me.
00;36;23;26 - 00;36;39;00
Liv Moods
And I, I spoke about John Moran on one of the last shows that I did, and I, I obviously stand by everything I said everything, if not double, triple down on what I said last time, because it's still holds to be true. And I didn't even know he was going to put his pointer finger in Klay Thompson space.
00;36;39;00 - 00;36;57;24
Liv Moods
Here's the deal. Ladies and gentlemen. We are watching John Morant decline in what should be his prime. And that is really unfortunate and really sad. Okay. At the end of the day he was supposed to be the face of this franchise he was supposed to do for Memphis what SGA is doing for OKC. He was on the same trajectory as Anthony Edwards.
00;36;58;00 - 00;37;19;10
Liv Moods
The only difference is Anthony Edwards didn't stand in his own way. John Morant did. And I am so over. There's a lot that's wrong with this video, but let's start with the most obvious, which is referring to an NBA champion who has been there, done that for the last 13 seasons as a bum is not only on smart and frankly, stupid, but simply disrespectful.
00;37;19;17 - 00;37;46;16
Liv Moods
Let me just shed some light on this. By John Durant's age, which is 26, Klay Thompson had a championship. He had two finals appearances. He an Olympic gold medal. He had the most points scored in a quarter and was the second best player on a 73 and nine team. What has Jordan I mean no disrespect, but what has job done to warrant him putting his pointer finger in the face of a man like Klay Thompson who has been there, done that.
00;37;46;18 - 00;38;04;20
Liv Moods
Not only does John have a long way to go to have similar accolades to that of Klay Thompson, but he should also be focused on this season right now because I think the worst part about all of this is you're sticking your finger in Klay Thompson space and calling him a bum while you're in a Nike sweats that you didn't even play.
00;38;04;20 - 00;38;23;12
Liv Moods
So you sat on the bench the whole time, and you had a lot to say about a game that you couldn't even contribute to. So here's my issue. Here's my issue, John lacks accountability and maturity, period. And I only want the best for Jamal rant. I want Jamal rant to be the face of a franchise if he wants to.
00;38;23;18 - 00;38;45;26
Liv Moods
I want him to be what Anthony Edwards is. And John Morant's name still holds a lot of weight. Actually it does. But the reality is your ceiling can be so high. If you aren't putting yourself in a position to be successful, you won't be until John Morant grows up. This is it, folks. He's reached his peak. He's in his prime right now.
00;38;45;26 - 00;39;08;19
Liv Moods
What you're watching right now is John Moran's prime. If he does not grow up and it really makes me upset, because he has the potential. Oh, my God, I get it. He's been injured, but you've got the off court antics of him and taking very little accountability for the things that he does, and then just flat out being disrespectful to legendary players in the league.
00;39;08;19 - 00;39;31;14
Liv Moods
It's like he's learned nothing. And until he grows up, I just think he is going to be in his own way. And we are watching him decline in his prime right now, and that's a really unfortunate situation. So I just had to get that off my chest because it pisses me off so bad when you're that good of a basketball player and I'm just watching you, like, flush it down the toilet because you're just you're childish.
00;39;31;14 - 00;39;32;24
Liv Moods
It's it's aggravating.
00;39;32;29 - 00;39;52;07
Speaker 3
It is aggravating. And it's not the first time that he's done something like this. So it just continues. I feel like he continues to stir the pot. And I feel like that was, in my opinion, completely kind of uncalled for, immature, childish like you said. But yeah. Klay Thompson four times four time champ, five time All-Star, likely a future Hall of Famer.
00;39;52;07 - 00;40;08;24
Speaker 3
Yep. I mean, speaking to anyone like that, but let alone a legend, right. And then I thought Klay Thompson's response was pretty awesome. I mean, within the same breath, he kind of complimented him while obviously kind of ran a little dissing him down a little shade.
00;40;08;28 - 00;40;10;05
Liv Moods
Rightfully so. Right.
00;40;10;07 - 00;40;29;14
Speaker 3
Totally did it in a very respectful, mature way. Kind of showed kind of just the difference in their personas and what maybe hopefully that maturity will do. And I don't know, I thought his response was great. I did too. I thought it was truly just a situation that never had to happen in the first place.
00;40;29;14 - 00;40;50;09
Liv Moods
So for that, I mean, for God's sakes, John, you're not even you're not even in a Jersey like that's I think that makes it the most frustrating. If they were going back and forth the whole game and there was trash talk here, trash talk there, and then things got escalated and heated. That happens. We watch it all the time with with players that are, for the most part, level headed, that have moments where they get emotional.
00;40;50;09 - 00;41;06;08
Liv Moods
I think you guys, can I also just throw this out there? I mean, I've talks now about John Morant. I talked about Ja'Marr Chase, his apology after spitting. Do we really live in a society where they say women are the emotional, the two of them?
00;41;06;08 - 00;41;07;19
Speaker 3
I never understood that part.
00;41;07;19 - 00;41;25;26
Liv Moods
This is crazy, guys. I got to be honest with you, this is crazy because I've met a lot of grown men that don't know how to regulate their emotions. Okay? I've met a lot of grown men that that act before they think. And I'm just saying, I think we need to debunk the theory that women are too emotional because we have a reason to be.
00;41;25;26 - 00;41;46;18
Liv Moods
We're hormonal. What's your excuse? Not hormones. So what is it you're just add. You're just aggy, and I need you to calm down. John Moran, you had no business standing in your Nike sweat said, pointing in a future Hall of Famer's face. When you didn't even play. Oh my God, that is the most. I mean, again, he's not in that moment.
00;41;46;18 - 00;42;04;10
Liv Moods
He's not thinking hindsight at all. He's not thinking bigger picture. He's not thinking like he wants to be somebody in this room. Because if he had been, he would have been like, yeah, this probably won't age well. He doesn't think that way. He thinks very narrow minded and very entitlement, and it's just going to bite him in the butt.
00;42;04;10 - 00;42;05;28
Liv Moods
And it's very unfortunate.
00;42;06;01 - 00;42;08;09
Speaker 3
But you know, and then continuously has.
00;42;08;11 - 00;42;34;06
Liv Moods
It happens all the time. And by the way you don't think that a guy like Klay Thompson or a guy like Steph Curry or a guy like LeBron James, they know how this works. And part of why they are in the position that they're in and they're going to be Hall of Famers. And we will talk about them for years to come, is not just the game of basketball that they played, but also the faces of the franchise, meaning they carry themselves in a certain way that allowed people to.
00;42;34;13 - 00;42;38;26
Liv Moods
There's a level of respect that is earned in sports, period.
00;42;38;28 - 00;42;47;10
Speaker 3
And I yeah, off the court, there's so many different levels and aspects that go into it. And you're exactly right. By making that point.
00;42;47;11 - 00;43;10;07
Liv Moods
There's standards. Yeah. And he's not reaching any of them now. And it drives me nuts because I just think he really had the potential to be the he could I will go as far to say this. This is this is not a hot take. I think this is common sense. Honest to goodness. I would go as far to say John Morant was on track to be the face of the NBA, and the only person that blew that was John Moran.
00;43;10;07 - 00;43;11;06
Liv Moods
Yeah, he has stood.
00;43;11;06 - 00;43;11;26
Speaker 3
In his own way.
00;43;11;26 - 00;43;33;08
Liv Moods
The one that messed that up for himself. He had everything in place to be the face of this league, and he crapped it down the toilet. And I, I, I actually at this point I can no longer let myself care about his antics. I can't like now. It is an unfortunately John now. It's an expectation that this is how you act.
00;43;33;10 - 00;43;54;23
Liv Moods
We were hoping that that incident at Shotgun Willie's right here in Denver, Colorado was a one off, but unfortunately it's looking like it wasn't. It's looking like this is who you were. There were people that came to your defense that wanted to say it was just a bad moment, or you got caught up in a bad spot, or he just was having a childish, immature situation and it was one isolated thing.
00;43;54;23 - 00;44;10;01
Liv Moods
It's not now. Now this is who you are. Like, you showed us who you are and now we believe you. Unfortunately. And that is really unfortunate because he had everything he needed to be the face of this league. And he he is the reason he is not.
00;44;10;03 - 00;44;12;14
Speaker 3
How sad is that? I would say I have to agree. Yeah.
00;44;12;14 - 00;44;27;23
Liv Moods
It sucks. Okay, on a more positive note to kind of wrap things up and then we'll just, you know, chit chat, whatever you guys want to ask. If you want to get in the comment section and ask some questions. I'll keep her around so she can answer whatever questions you guys have for her, but want to talk about a more positive thing.
00;44;27;23 - 00;44;46;00
Liv Moods
It's actually, I guess maybe kind of negative, but positive for me because you guys know how I feel. Russell Westbrook okay, guys, I do have a little story time. I'm going to I'm going to just say this story time. I think last season I had told you guys that Russ had come up to me after a nuggets game.
00;44;46;00 - 00;45;06;06
Liv Moods
Shook my hand. He was like, I appreciate I see your stuff. I appreciate you like kind of just saying, like, thanks for always having my back. And he did say, I know it's really tough to defend me sometimes because the trolls are just insane, which I've already said there should be a case study done about Russell Westbrook haters because you guys are weirdos and you're like, so insane.
00;45;06;10 - 00;45;24;00
Liv Moods
You're like obsessed. Like it's it's actually like kind of creepy at times that you're like so obsessed about something that happened, like, I don't know, five years ago. Move on. But yet again I bumped into Russell Westbrook. I was standing at the end, of the game and he came up to me. He shook my hand. He gave me a big hug.
00;45;24;03 - 00;45;36;20
Liv Moods
I looked right at him and I said, Russ, this is really tough for me. He's like, I know, I know, I get it. And I was like, I'm so happy for you. You've got a fan in me always. You've got a supporter in me always. And he's like, I know that. I appreciate you always. Like it was a really cool moment.
00;45;36;20 - 00;45;52;00
Liv Moods
So, you know, I'm going to go as far delusional to say we're friends. Okay. Forget about it. So the next time you want to troll me and say, oh, you're like such a Russell Westbrook stand, you're damn right I am. And I'm going to be that probably till the day I die, because this is a player that deserves respect.
00;45;52;01 - 00;46;11;17
Liv Moods
Speaking of a Klay Thompson right. Russell Westbrook we so quickly forget who Russell Westbrook really is. And it was on full display Gianna other night in the fourth quarter alone to beat his former team. The team that told him not to pick up his player option front office. We are not over that yet. We'll get to that another time because I've got words for you, I sure do.
00;46;11;20 - 00;46;29;21
Liv Moods
15 points, six of seven from the field, two of two from the three point line. Overcame 44 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists from Jokic. I mean, if that's not a way to tell the front office to kick rocks I don't know what is. What was your perspective because you were at that game. What was your perspective on what Russell Westbrook brought to that game?
00;46;29;24 - 00;46;51;16
Speaker 3
I mean first of all, incredible game by him. Revenge game. 1st May say but yeah totally led the charge for them. Won that game for them in everyone's opinion. Yeah. True I thought it was very interesting though, because as you're talking about his trolls and the haters. Denver didn't have the best response to him. I heard a lot of boos.
00;46;51;18 - 00;46;52;16
Speaker 3
I mean.
00;46;52;23 - 00;46;53;16
Liv Moods
I think their salty.
00;46;53;17 - 00;47;09;20
Speaker 3
Part of that could be that he's not with us anymore. But you see people like DeAndre Jordan come in and they're standing ovations happening for him. And I know he was part of that championship team. But we don't see that with Russ. Yeah. And I don't know I guess I'd be curious on what your opinion of that is.
00;47;09;26 - 00;47;26;07
Liv Moods
Yeah. No it's a really great point because I wasn't the first game we played versus the Kings when we did a tribute video, and I was on my feet clapping loudly, I don't care, you know, at the end of the day, I think if you truly love the game of basketball.
00;47;26;09 - 00;47;27;00
Speaker 3
You got to.
00;47;27;02 - 00;47;47;05
Liv Moods
Recognize real right. Like that's how I feel. It's like you think I feel great about how things ended with Carmelo Anthony here in Denver. Absolutely not. But he is still a player that I will constantly respect and idolize because real recognize real right. He did a lot for Denver and he did a lot in his career, and he did a lot for the game of basketball.
00;47;47;07 - 00;48;05;03
Liv Moods
Russell Westbrook to me is a very similar player where it's like, yeah, you think I want to see him in another jersey, not only in another jersey, but beating my team. Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, it's weird because at that game, at that first game, there were a lot of people standing and clapping during the tribute video.
00;48;05;06 - 00;48;26;26
Liv Moods
So I think it was very it's very fitting that now, a couple games later, we're back. It shows just the nature of Russell Westbrook and how polarizing he really is. Like you have people that are ride or die. They have followed him to every team he's played on. They have been fans since the OKC days and they will follow him wherever he goes.
00;48;26;29 - 00;48;43;17
Liv Moods
You then have haters that are like, I don't care what he does. I don't care how he left. I don't like him. I've never liked it. You know, it's what's interesting is I think he's a very polarizing player but not a polarizing human. I think people love the human that is. Russell Westbrook, and it's kind of hard not to.
00;48;43;24 - 00;49;00;29
Liv Moods
I think the player again, what makes you good makes you bad. He is so fiercely competitive that I think sometimes that can rub people the wrong way. Hell, I think it could probably rub teammates the wrong way in the locker room. It's like, hey, dude, you just got here. Shut up. What are you telling me what to do for you?
00;49;01;00 - 00;49;23;14
Liv Moods
You know what? I think he probably has that nature about him. Where he says things sometimes that don't always land with people or his deliveries off or. But that's what you also love about his game, is that he's unapologetic and he's fiercely competitive. And he will give you 150% regard every night. And so, you know, when he's giving you 150% and he's not on your squad.
00;49;23;14 - 00;49;39;16
Liv Moods
Yeah, you probably don't like him very much. And honestly, I said the same thing last year about Jokic. If Jokic wasn't on my team, I probably wouldn't be able to stand that guy because he's just one of those players that you're like, it's like every time I have to watch Patrick Mahomes on the football field, it's like, I don't like you, but damn, you're good.
00;49;39;16 - 00;49;41;03
Speaker 3
We hate him because we ain't him, right?
00;49;41;04 - 00;50;01;23
Liv Moods
Like you're just so good at this that it's like, cat, you have to you have to give respect where it's due. So it's interesting that dynamic. But again, I think it's it's very fitting for the polarizing nature of Russell Westbrook because I mean, I sit back and I watch how the dialog about Russell Westbrook transpires on social media.
00;50;01;23 - 00;50;21;25
Liv Moods
And I'm like, it is like opposite sides of the spectrum. It could not be. You don't have anyone in the middle, right? You either love Russell Westbrook or you hate him. And that is like just a very strange thing. So again, you probably have Denver fans that have always loved him and will continue to always love him. And then you probably have Denver fans that have always hated him and will continue to hate him.
00;50;21;25 - 00;50;31;24
Liv Moods
So it's interesting. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think him also bringing to light the first time he was here in the locker room, like I didn't want to leave, but they told me not to pick up my option.
00;50;31;24 - 00;50;32;08
Speaker 3
Yeah.
00;50;32;11 - 00;50;39;26
Liv Moods
That should have been very eye opening to a lot of Denver fans, because I think there was an assumption being made that he thought he was.
00;50;39;26 - 00;50;40;22
Speaker 3
Too was were, you know.
00;50;40;22 - 00;51;03;06
Liv Moods
Like, oh, he wants to be a starter. Oh, he's worth more. He thinks he's worth more money. Whatever. It turns out that maybe wasn't why he left. So I don't know very polarizing player. But now I want to ask you, there are rumors that the Kings, who have a four and 13 start to their season, they're willing to trade anyone on their roster except for Keegan, Murray and Clifford.
00;51;03;09 - 00;51;35;13
Liv Moods
Those are the two that are untouchable. I mean, Sabonis, Zach Levine, DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook are all reportedly available. Okay. There is also in my humble opinion, a serious need for some potential a little potential backup point guard situation right here in Denver okay. As much as I love Bruce Brown, I don't think we're getting out of Bruce Brown what we anticipated, and that's on us because I think we were comparing it to a season that happened two years ago when they won the championship.
00;51;35;15 - 00;51;51;08
Liv Moods
At the end of the day, depending on how serious this nuggets team is about a championship, I think the one department they're lacking is that backup point guard. If Russell Westbrook were to become available right now would you bring him back here.
00;51;51;11 - 00;52;20;16
Speaker 3
You know it's kind of tough to say because I mean yes like Russell is a playmaker. He's great in the clutch. But he likes to have that ball a lot. And honestly I think I'd rather see the Jamal Murray good duo. Like I want the ball in either one of their hands. I think Russell can sometimes be maybe a little too selfish with it, and I'd prefer it to be in one of our nuggets that we already have.
00;52;20;16 - 00;52;27;17
Speaker 3
I mean, he was here last year and yeah, obviously did some amazing things, but I don't know if it would be the right move to make.
00;52;27;17 - 00;53;07;00
Liv Moods
Yeah, I get that perspective too, because, you know, dynamic is everything in my opinion. And as much as I love Russell Westbrook and I do, I'm a Russell Westbrook truther to my core. As much as I love Russell Westbrook, I do understand that. I think him being here probably did rub some people the wrong way. And I don't know I don't know if anything happened if there were ever moments that's not what I'm implying because I don't know that I don't know if there were awkward moments in the locker room, or there was beef or there was tension or whatever, but I do think he has a personality that I don't know is compatible
00;53;07;02 - 00;53;12;20
Liv Moods
with a team that already has really three really solid leaders, and.
00;53;12;22 - 00;53;28;20
Speaker 3
Being in the locker room every after every game, hearing all the players talk, the main thing that they mention is how unselfish they all are with each other, how they know that minutes are going to be spread, every player is going to get their time. They might only get a few minutes a night if they get any, and they're all very much okay with that.
00;53;28;20 - 00;53;38;29
Speaker 3
They want to win a championship. That's what they want to do and they're all on board with that. You don't want to mess that chemistry up. You don't want to throw in anything new. So in my opinion, I don't know.
00;53;39;02 - 00;54;00;29
Liv Moods
I yeah, I think the dynamic piece would be my only question there. My, my, my only concern in bringing Russell Westbrook back to Denver. I think I don't I don't believe Russell Westbrook believes he's a starter and he's accepting nothing less. And that's where I think the media has maybe gotten it a little twisted as we've assumed that Russ needs to be a starter.
00;54;01;01 - 00;54;18;06
Liv Moods
And he he has told himself that and he is I don't even know if that's true. I don't think that he himself needs to be a starter, but I think he has starter energy. Yeah. He has he he wants to be a leader. I guarantee you any team that Russell Westbrook is on, he wants to be a leader.
00;54;18;09 - 00;54;41;19
Liv Moods
And I think you've already got three really solid leaders here in Denver that I just don't know if Russell Westbrook became available. And as much as I think we need to address potentially the backup point guard situation here in Denver, I don't know if it's compatible, even though they've played. And even though you see the Denver Nuggets pre game post game hugging him, giving him love I think there's nothing but love there.
00;54;41;21 - 00;55;00;25
Liv Moods
But I don't know if you've already got three really great leaders. And then you bring in a headstrong veteran that's been playing really great. I just don't know if that's compatible. Not because of Russell's fault or the three leaders fault. I just think there is a chemistry that that right now for this nuggets team is working. So you don't want to mess with that.
00;55;00;25 - 00;55;03;13
Speaker 3
It's like so many cooks in the kitchen. Exactly. You can't do it.
00;55;03;13 - 00;55;24;23
Liv Moods
Too many cooks in the kitchen. And I think when you have Russell Westbrook on the team he accounts for three cooks himself because he can be that guy and he can be that player. So I think from a dynamic perspective probably no. But my heart says if he's available right now, bring him back. Here's the deal. Jamal Murray has been injury prone before.
00;55;24;23 - 00;55;39;11
Liv Moods
Yeah. There's a world where you need someone reliable that can step in and give your, Jamal Murray a little bit of relief, because right now he's doing a lot. He is facilitating the life out of that basketball.
00;55;39;11 - 00;55;41;00
Speaker 3
He's going to be a long season.
00;55;41;01 - 00;55;58;19
Liv Moods
It's going to be a long season for Jamal. And we are just getting started. So I do think if I'm Denver, a backup point guard needs to be one of my priorities right now. That's how I feel. Obviously you've got Bruce Brown, but have we gotten out of Bruce Brown? But what we really wanted to get out of him.
00;55;58;19 - 00;56;28;10
Liv Moods
Not yet. Does it feel early? Still can't. But, you know, I think there's a world where you want to give a little bit of an insurance policy to your facilitators. You know, Jamal Murray is a player that has been injured before, so you and God willing, he is not this season, but it happens. So I think as much as Denver needs to address that point guard position, and as much as I would love Russ back in Denver, selfishly, I don't know if it's the picture perfect match.
00;56;28;10 - 00;56;44;29
Liv Moods
I don't know that. And I don't believe that it that it necessarily is. But it's hard to deny what Russell Westbrook has been doing lately. It's hard to deny that if he were coming off of our bench and doing what he's doing now for us, oh God, I don't know if he would be stopped by anybody, frankly.
00;56;44;29 - 00;56;46;27
Speaker 3
So Casey, watch out. Right.
00;56;46;27 - 00;57;06;12
Liv Moods
So there's a world where I'm also like, okay, like just figure out the dynamic. Guys, I don't know how to tell you grow up. Like, just handle it. Right. Because he is playing at a very high level and he is just proving to have still so much value after, what, 18 seasons? I mean, my God. So I don't know.
00;57;06;12 - 00;57;10;25
Liv Moods
I'm kind of undecided. I think I need to sleep on it guys. I'm acting like I'm the front office. I have.
00;57;10;25 - 00;57;12;06
Speaker 3
To we're making the decisions right.
00;57;12;06 - 00;57;28;27
Liv Moods
Here. Actually, I'm acting like I've got to make this really important decision soon, and I don't. But if I did have to, I think I need to sleep on it for this week. And then I will touch base with you again. But until then, you know, we're just, we're going to keep rooting for the Denver Nuggets.
00;57;28;29 - 00;57;29;29
Speaker 3
Yes, we are mostly.
00;57;30;03 - 00;57;52;16
Liv Moods
Rooting in my opinion, for healthy bodies. That's what I would prefer the absolute most before we get out of here, what are your thoughts on the Denver Broncos this weekend? I know I didn't have you on for my NFL stuff, but you are a big NFL fan I am. You're just an all around sports fan. So just talk me through kind of where where do you think is there a path for the Broncos to make it to the Super Bowl?
00;57;52;16 - 00;58;11;09
Liv Moods
Do you feel good about the bye week that they've had now? Their bodies are a little rested and again on paper beginning of the season, commanders was supposed to be a great game. I don't know if it is any more with Marcus Mariota. That's not any dig at him, but definitely was excited to see that Jayden Daniels Bo Nix moment.
00;58;11;11 - 00;58;23;27
Liv Moods
Both of them having really great rookie seasons. So we're not going to get that excitement anymore. But how are you feeling the Broncos they've got some some games that remain that should be easy wins. But those are usually let me not.
00;58;24;00 - 00;58;25;15
Speaker 3
Yeah I think as many.
00;58;25;15 - 00;58;32;20
Liv Moods
Times the ones that we we you know sometimes stress over the most, which I hate. But how are you feeling right now as it stands with the Denver Broncos?
00;58;32;20 - 00;58;40;23
Speaker 3
I am very excited. I think obviously, as you mentioned earlier, Broncos defense. Absolutely incredible.
00;58;40;23 - 00;58;41;21
Liv Moods
There's lights out.
00;58;41;22 - 00;58;49;02
Speaker 3
Nothing else to really be said about it besides the fact that they're doing amazing, incredible things. They are offensively. We could use some help.
00;58;49;05 - 00;58;51;11
Liv Moods
Yeah. For sure, for sure.
00;58;51;11 - 00;59;08;11
Speaker 3
I think that the bye week was definitely I mean, it came at a good time. It seemed like we were starting to lose people right and left and definitely came at a good time. I think by week was necessary for them. And they're the only team in the NFL with two losses right now. Right. Where the Lions.
00;59;08;17 - 00;59;16;04
Liv Moods
I think Patriots still only have two. I think they're now ten and two. Okay. So if we can if we can beat the commanders will be tied with the Patriots.
00;59;16;04 - 00;59;19;28
Speaker 3
All right. Well I think we're sitting pretty. We're looking pretty good now.
00;59;19;28 - 00;59;21;12
Liv Moods
And the commander's pretty exciting stuff.
00;59;21;12 - 00;59;32;03
Speaker 3
Oh and yes last time that the Super Bowl was in San Francisco do we know who won it. The Denver the Denver Broncos Denver Broncos.
00;59;32;03 - 00;59;47;25
Liv Moods
So listen I, I feel good I feel good because at the end of the day defense wins championships. And I feel I have no like stress when it comes to our defense. When our defense is on the field, I'm like, do your best.
00;59;48;00 - 00;59;49;01
Speaker 3
Kick back and relax.
00;59;49;01 - 00;59;54;28
Liv Moods
Right? Do your best Patrick Mahomes. We'll see how this goes. You know, like I really do feel so cool. Calm collected. That being said kind.
00;59;54;28 - 00;59;56;08
Speaker 3
Of biting nails on the other end.
00;59;56;08 - 01;00;15;26
Liv Moods
Exactly. Yes. That being said, the offensive side of things for sure can make me lose some sleep and I definitely feel my heart racing most games. But when when looking at this Broncos schedule. So commanders I believe right after commanders might be I know the teams, but I don't know the order. We've got the commanders left. We've got the Raiders again.
01;00;15;26 - 01;00;34;18
Liv Moods
We've got the Chargers again. We've got the Chiefs again. Then I think in between all of those, we've got the Packers and we've got the Jags. So Jags feels like a win. But also you never know what kind of what version of Trevor Lawrence you're going to get. That being said our defense is going to make it hard for him to be the best version of himself.
01;00;34;21 - 01;00;42;09
Liv Moods
The Packers struggled versus the Vikings just yesterday. That was a really close game.
01;00;42;12 - 01;00;56;07
Liv Moods
It's that Chiefs and Chargers game. Seeing them again, knowing that the Chiefs are kind of starting to rise a little bit more in the AFC West. Do you worry about that or do you think now the Broncos have tasted Chiefs blood. And they're going to just.
01;00;56;09 - 01;00;56;25
Speaker 3
Hungry for.
01;00;56;25 - 01;00;57;28
Liv Moods
More sun and again hungry.
01;00;57;28 - 01;01;00;11
Speaker 3
For more. That's my opinion but I.
01;01;00;11 - 01;01;11;26
Liv Moods
Think so too I think so too. And the Chargers are interesting because I think they were positioned to be really good. And then they got really injured. And I just think they kind of lost all their momentum.
01;01;11;27 - 01;01;14;21
Speaker 3
It's a very unfortunate thing. I mean good for us.
01;01;14;23 - 01;01;30;26
Liv Moods
That I it sucks for them. But like also I you know I'm, I hate injuries but I'm saying woo as in like they were going to be really threatening to us and then they kind of stopped being that way. And now it's the Chiefs of Chargers I think are going to be duking it out for that number two spot in the NFC West.
01;01;30;26 - 01;01;42;18
Liv Moods
And it'll be very interesting. I think I don't know what the remaining schedule of the Chiefs looks like necessarily, but it'll be interesting. It'll be interesting. I do think there is a path to the Super Bowl.
01;01;42;23 - 01;01;58;02
Speaker 3
I agree, I agree, and when we're talking about confidence, yes. And how it can be your best friend or your worst enemy, I think within football it kind of is your best friend. So I think the Broncos are just continuing to build it every week. We haven't been this good. God, I don't even know.
01;01;58;02 - 01;02;04;13
Liv Moods
Once I was a senior in high school, that was the year we won the Super Bowl, the last Super Bowl, and I yeah, I was a senior in high.
01;02;04;14 - 01;02;06;01
Speaker 3
I would I think I was like 12.
01;02;06;01 - 01;02;06;12
Liv Moods
Yeah.
01;02;06;12 - 01;02;12;29
Speaker 3
It was a very young girl. Anyway I think the confidence is key for them and I think it continues to build and I.
01;02;12;29 - 01;02;30;08
Liv Moods
Love that Momentum's huge in the NFL. It is momentum is almost everything. And I guess that would be the only concern is did they lose some of their momentum in their bye week. And they may have guys that that I think I would honestly because you're your body at that rest. It's like you're riding this adrenaline adrenaline, adrenaline.
01;02;30;08 - 01;02;44;25
Liv Moods
And then once the adrenaline wears off, you're like, oh God, I'm hurting. I'm so tired. My body is like sore. I need like a million ice baths. Like that would be me. I'm obviously not an NFL player, but I can imagine, especially our defense had some.
01;02;44;25 - 01;02;46;15
Speaker 3
Haven't had a massage in a week.
01;02;46;15 - 01;03;09;24
Liv Moods
Right. They've had some aches and bruises and things that they've kind of just played through that. Then when you come down off of that adrenaline, it's like, right, oh right. Hurts. Like I'm, I'm kind of hurting a little. So I think the bye week, especially for our defense, is only beneficial because they just have been playing so tough and hard and long that it's it's good for them to get a little bit of rest in their body.
01;03;09;25 - 01;03;26;09
Liv Moods
So feeling optimistic. Any thoughts on I know the abs are crushing it. I'm not a big hockey girl. I usually tune in around the playoffs. I'm like a fake fan like that where I don't watch in the regular season. By the way, guys, I can't. I cover. If I add another team to this one, I would literally go insane.
01;03;26;09 - 01;03;31;29
Liv Moods
I would actually lose my mind. So, but playoff the Avs are kind of position. I mean the Denver.
01;03;32;01 - 01;03;42;06
Speaker 3
The Denver sports are looking good. They are looking good. And I say that with a big question mark at the end, okay. Because that's what I've been taught in the sports world. You end in a question mark so you don't jinx.
01;03;42;06 - 01;04;04;24
Liv Moods
There we go. Love that. And then give us one last little thing. You spent a lot of time with the Rockies. Yes. I think a lot of people maybe naturally like to poke fun at this Rockies team. I'm going to be super honest with you guys. I've lived in Denver my entire life, and I don't think there's been a year that I've been able to confidently, like, be excited about the end of the MLB season, being a Rockies fan.
01;04;04;26 - 01;04;15;20
Liv Moods
That being said, is there positive things on the horizon? How are you feeling about the team that you spent a lot of time around and with, and anything we can expect from the Rockies, maybe hopefully in this upcoming year for them?
01;04;15;20 - 01;04;38;29
Speaker 3
Yeah, we'll learn. Schaffer was just announced today, which is very exciting stuff. I think he came in, did an absolutely incredible job. I mean, that second half, the team definitely improved a lot. There were player changes that were made as well, but I don't know. Our farm system's looking good. We've got some good prospects. I, I think baseball's a little bit more difficult because it takes a couple of years to turn things around.
01;04;39;02 - 01;04;54;29
Speaker 3
So. I don't know if I would get too excited about the near future, but obviously I would say baseball's probably my favorite sport. And okay the Rockies are my little babies. So love it I 100% I'm always excited and wishing for the best.
01;04;54;29 - 01;05;05;01
Liv Moods
For the by the way. But baseball games are fun. They are. Even though the Rockies haven't been the best team, I still go. I still get a hot dog, get.
01;05;05;01 - 01;05;06;20
Speaker 3
Outside, be in the sun.
01;05;06;20 - 01;05;10;20
Liv Moods
Exactly like it's amazing. And we have one of the most beautiful and we really do.
01;05;10;20 - 01;05;12;09
Speaker 3
And I've been to a lot of them.
01;05;12;09 - 01;05;34;02
Liv Moods
I, I've been to, believe it or not, I've actually I've kind of have to I feel like that's like a, a very baseball games are a fun activity regardless of what you know about the sport. It's just fun to go and be around high energy people. So I'm excited, obviously, because that means like warm weather is near and we have such a beautiful stadium and we'll get to see you in action, which is amazing.
