Denver Nuggets

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Half of the 2015-16 NBA season is in the books. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done it. You’ve watched, you’ve cheered, you’ve moaned. You’ve wondered why it’s taken the Suns so damn long to sell off Markieff Morris. You’ve pondered the meaning of life whenever the Spurs or Warriors take the floor. You’ve lamented [...]

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. Current head coach Mike Malone thinks that should change this year, or next year, or sometime in the near future Danilo Gallinari has entered man-alive mode during the month [...]

It has to suck playing in the NBA’s Western Conference. Unless you’re the Warriors or Spurs. Then it’s probably pretty chill. For those other 13 squads? Yeah, it sucks. Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]

Ty Lawson was the recipient of two separate DUI charges in 2015, which ultimately led to Denver finally cutting ties with him. Now he’s Houston’s problem to deal with. Earlier in the season, the league finally came down on Lawson with a 2-game suspension for the January 2015 DUI. Today, he learned that he has [...]

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to. Sure, we knew the Spurs would be really good, even if we didn’t know they’d be historically awesome. We knew the Warriors would be great. We knew the Cavaliers would be, too. [...]

Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson says he’s the best shooting guard in the NBA today, a drum he’s been beating the last few years, especially since the physical decline of the great Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. When asked about his starting five at each position today, Klay named Curry at [...]

Goodbye, 2015. It’s been real, often fun. Sometimes even real fun. But it’s time we bid you adieu. Just not before we send you off with one last batch of NBA power rankings. The Association is niche-y as ever these days. The championship contender pool contains only Cleveland, Golden State and San Antonio, with Oklahoma [...]

‘Tis the season for NBA power rankings. Fine, ’tis the day for NBA power rankings. It’s the same day every week, almost irregardless of the season. This day, of this week, is no different—except unlike the previous day, of last week, we’re here to acknowledge, to lament, the utter implosion of the Bulls. Yes, they [...]

Will Barton, the Denver Nuggets sixth man extraordinaire and my personal current selection for sixth man of the year, continued his breakout season Sunday in Denver’s 130-125 loss at home to Pelicans. Barton had a career high 32 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, becoming only the fifth player in the past 30 seasons to [...]
