The Nuggets are off to a good start, not a great one. Cam Johnson has been slow to acclimate. What will that process look like and at what point should Nuggets fans, let alone the team, start to worry? Can Peyton Watson take on a bigger role in the offense and become more consistent in his production? Is there room for Julian Strawther? And hey, will Denver beat the Heat? It's No Jinx on Locked on Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets bounce back with another win and they are showing an early sign of dominance that simply was not there last season. Christian Braun is playing well but there is a way he must round out his game for the team to take a next step.

The Nuggets could have blown out the Kings, but didn't because of their defense. Still, another dominant, impressive performance for the offense behind a masterclass from Nikola Jokic and strong games from Christian Braun and Bruce Brown. Plus, why the clutch time issues keep happening, and the one roster hole Denver has in the backcourt.

Matt is HEATED at the officials after the Nuggets lose to the Blazers in a 4th quarter collapse. You can bear hug Jokic, but don’t touch Jerami Grant! Denver lost this game on their own, though, with turnovers and defensive issues as they prove there’s still a lot of work to do. Meanwhile, the Christian Braun conversation is getting louder after another rough game, but Matt and Ryan say to keep the faith on Locked on Nuggets.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
