Denver Nuggets

Yes, the dream is coming true! Possibly. Melvin Hunt has done a phenomenal job replacing Brian Shaw as head coach of the Denver Nuggets, but the interim tag remains, even this side of the regular season. The Nuggets are still expected to stage an exhaustive search, and Mike D’Antoni is among their most likely candidates(!). [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

NBA franchises have seldom entered the college coaching ranks in search of a new leader for their team. In fact, the latest trend is former players who have no experience roaming the sideline. The Boston Celtics are an exception, having snatched Brad Stevens away from mid-major powerhouse Butler University two years ago, but that’s about [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]

The Denver Nuggets fired Brian Shaw, and neither Kevin Garnett nor David West is okay with it. West played under Shaw while he was an assistant with the Indiana Pacers. Shortly after the news broke on Tuesday, he was asked to respond. And so he did. Per Vigilant Sports’ Scott Agness: [tweet https://twitter.com/ScottAgness/status/572822756879945728] But David, [...]

On Tuesday night’s 106-95 victory against the visiting Bucks, Nuggets’ explosive power forward—Kenneth Faried—gave the crowd a spectacular highlight that was featured as one of the top plays of the night. At around the nine-minute mark of the third quarter, Faried decided to elevate and detonate for an vicious monster throwdown over the Bucks’ newly-acquired [...]

Thou shall fear no evil, because the NBA power rankings are here to save the day. It’s been forever since we last saw each other. Like, a whole week or something. A lot has happened since then. The Warriors are clearly tanking, trying to avoid a first-round dance with the Thunder; the Nuggets fired Brian [...]
