Matt Moore and Adam Mares discuss Michael Porter Jr.'s third back surgery of his basketball career. What does it mean for him long-term? What about the Nuggets short term? What are the financial ramifications, and what was the timeline? Then they discuss the absurd Nikola Jokic advanced numbers and how he's dominating history. Finally, the two discuss the West matchup between Warriors and the Suns and how good Phoenix is, plus Matt tries to convince Adam the Lakers are still alive in the West.
