Nuggets' coaching decision is obvious regardless of Game 7 result vs. Thunder

2 weeks ago | nugglove.com | Tyler Key

Has Interim Coach David Adelman done enough in his trial period? Following the surprising and franchise-altering firing of former coach Michael Malone and former GM Calvin Booth, Nuggets fans should be incredibly happy with where the season has turned. In what once felt like a hopeless season that was going to result in misery, Denver is now just one game away from the Western Conference Finals, and Coach Adelman is a big reason as to why.

Jersey vibes matter… we hope!Following a disappointing Denver Nuggets loss at home in game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mile High Crew has given control back to OKC in the series. With that being said, the series is still tied 2-2, and if the jersey choices moving forward are any indication of who might win, Nuggets fans should feel very confident with their upcoming game jerseys. Do basketball uniforms actually play a factor?

Of the 75 players invited, none of them wear crimson and blue. On Saturday, the NBA announced its official combine list of college and international basketball players that are invited to this year’s NBA pre-draft event.

The 5th highest salaried-player on the Nuggets hasn’t played any real minutes thus far…Following the Denver Nuggets’ wild win in game 4 over the Los Angeles Clippers in the Intuit Dome, things are looking shakier than ever with their playoff rotation. Yes, the Mile High Crew won the game, but they nearly blew a 22-point 4th quarter lead if not for Aaron Gordon’s put-back buzzer-beater dunk. Denver should turn to Zeke Nnaji in game 5 to soak up some minutes.

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Westbrook will be crucial regardless for Denver!After initially signing Russell Westbrook to a veteran minimum contract during the offseason, the Denver Nuggets knew that there would be some insane highs and some head-scratching lows that come with rostering the former MVP. At times, he has looked like the 2nd best Nugget on the floor, and at other times, he has looked borderline-unplayable, but he is crucial to the team.

The Denver Nuggets should try this risky seeding maneuver after recent woes

2 months ago | nugglove.com | Tyler Key

At this point, what do they have to lose? Entering April, even after a miserable March where the team went 8-7, the Denver Nuggets were in great position to finish as a top 2-3 seed in the west. Sadly, April has taken a turn for the worst with the Nuggets dropping all four games this month, resulting in their longest losing streak of the season. At this point, it may be time to reevaluate their end-of-season strategy.
