The Drive | Hour 2 | 10.23.25

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by DenverSports.com's Jake Shapiro joining the show to preview the Nuggets' highly anticipated season. Will we see the version of Jamal Murry that allows the Nuggets to win a championship and be in shape throughout the season? Did the Nuggets make the right decision to not go after another superstar and instead go for complimentary pieces that are good fits? Will this be Murray's first season as an all-star? Will Jokic's numbers take a dip with the improved roster around him? Today's "Three Count" includes our reaction to Michael Wilbon ripping Sean Payton for his shots at Russell Wilson, Victor Wembanyama shinning in his return to the court while number one overall pick Cooper Flagg struggles, and previewing the Avalanche and Hurricanes game tonight at Ball Arena. We break down how big of a challenge is ahead for the Buffs as they play Utah in Utah this weekend.
