ADAM THIELEN

At the beginning of the year Adam Thielen asked the Carolina Panthers to trade him to Minnesota so he could end his career as a Viking. The Vikings gave up a 4th and 5th round pick for him. At the time of the trade Justin Jefferson was hurt and Jordan Addison was suspended. 

Thielen wasn't being used and was a healthy scratch his last game as a Viking. He asked for the Vikings to release him because he wasn't being utilized enough. The Steelers picked him up via waivers. 

His first week with Pittsburgh Adam Thielen says how he fell in love with football again. What the hell? He had 1 target, 1 catch, 4 yards, and zero touchdowns. 

Throughout his career he has been a diva wide receiver, throwing temper tantrums on the side lines, and throwing his helmet. Seems like the Vikings were smart to get rid of Thielen. 

You know who should be pissed off is Justin Jefferson. It has been a rough season for the Vikings and I am surprised Jefferson hasn't been more vocal. It's been the opposite actually. Jefferson backs his quarterback and his coach. Maybe Thielen should take notes.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
