Four Corners: A Nuggets Podcast

Recorded prior to the Portland shellacking and the tough loss to Dallas, Ray and Peter briefly talk about how they think the Portland game might go, then run through some of the Nuggets upcoming games including an unfortunately accurate prediction from Peter regarding the Dallas game.

Ray and Peter continue to work through the division previews (recorded the night of the season start so they don't have the first 3-4 games of visual data and such, apologies from Jarett for the timing) with the Pacific division looking at the Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Suns, and Kings.

Ray, Peter, and Jarett are joined by Zach Gotlieb (@ZachGotlieb on twitter) to talk about the return of Nuggets basketball! Or at least the half return that is NBA preseason.
