The Denver Nuggets haven’t sent anyone to the NBA’s All-Star game since Carmelo Anthony was traded to the New York Knicks midway through the 2010-11 season.

Danilo Gallinari is ever the optimist. Even though he’s spent the last two seasons battling injuries, missing the 2013-14 campaign entirely, Gallinari isn’t down. Not that he should be. He played well during FIBA Eurobasket, and the Denver Nuggets signed him to a two-year extension worth around $34 million over the offseason. Tack on his [...]

It’s seems like no one is safe in Denver. The franchise is heading for a major revamp this off-season and is more than willing to trade any of its players, as long as the deal coincides with their objective and future plans, which no one really knows at this point.

Well, this doesn’t look pretty. Late in the second quarter of the Denver Nuggets’ eventual win over the Dallas Mavericks, Danilo Gallinari took Dirk Nowitzki off the dribble with his left hand when suddenly, what seemed like an open path to the basket turned into a potentially season-ending injury. Gallo’s left knee buckled in toward [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

The Denver Nuggets have a problem. Strike that, the Nuggets have a bounty of problems, none more pressing, however, than their overall start to the season. After having what many deemed one of the most fruitful offseasons in the NBA, Denver currently sits at 4-6. To put that record into a more significant context, let’s [...]
