Nuggets collapse as Thunder’s depth exposes Denver’s main flaw

3 days ago | denversports.com | Jake Shapiro

DENVER — The Denver Nuggets already told us their roster isn’t good enough this year, firing their general manager on the eve of the postseason. The biggest issue with the roster Calvin Booth constructed? Depth. It was the main culprit in the Nuggets’ pivotal Game 4 92-87 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday, which evened the series at 2-2 and took home-court advantage back to the NBA’s top-seeded Thunder.
Rockies fire Bud Black after historically bad start

One of the longest tenured managers in Major League Baseball has been canned, as the Colorado Rockies relieved Bud Black of his duties on Sunday. The Rockies are off to a horrible start, but funny enough, got one of their rare seven wins earlier in the day. Black had been on the job since 2017. Former Rockies minor league manager at a few stops and current third base coach, Warren Schaffer, will take over in the meantime. Mike Redmond was also let go.

DENVER — “OT, OT, there’s never much love when we go OT,” the most famous Canadian once sang. For the star of the Canadian national team — it was true — there was no love in overtime. For the last Canadian player to play in and win the NBA Finals, he danced, dimed and dacoited as the higher powers took hold in the Denver Nuggets’ 113-104 Game 3 overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Denver Nuggets did it again. After robbing the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 earlier this week, Game 3 at Ball Arena on Friday night had a similar vibe. The Nuggets were down 102-99 when Aaron Gordon hit a corner three-pointer. Sound familiar? Just like he won Game 1 with his heroics, Gordon tied the game and it eventually went to OT. Denver took control in overtime, outscoring OKC 11-2 and sending downtown Denver into a frenzy.
Kyle Freeland on verge of tears, Rockies back to worst start in MLB history

Kyle Freeland couldn’t help but nearly cry as the Colorado Rockies lost again, pleading with fans to keep believing in the purple pinstripes as they recorded their 30th loss of the season before getting seven wins. Somehow, the day got worse for the Mile High Nine, who played again later in the day as part of a doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers and lost again. The two losses dropped the Rockies to 6-31, tied for the worst 37-game start in the history of Major League Baseball.
Nuggets won't use fatigue as excuse but acknowledge it

DENVER — The difference in rest between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder is vast, and while that is totally a factor, the former champions from the Mile High City know it’s just part of the deal in the playoffs. The Nuggets have been playing basketball about every 48 hours since April 29, soon totaling six games in 11 days. Their foes from OKC have had starters play only six games since April 8.

Former University of Colorado football star Travis Hunter got his degree on Thursday. Two weeks after he was drafted into the NFL with the No. 2 overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. It’s an awesome way for Hunter to close his career out in Boulder, earning a diploma with thousands of his classmates. Fittingly enough, the graduation ceremony was at Folsom Field, where Hunter did magical things as a football player.
Broncos leader Bo Nix at a curious spot on new QB Power Rankings list

6 days ago | denversports.com | Will Petersen

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was sixth in the NFL in touchdown passes a season ago with 29. He was 12th in the league in yards, throwing for nearly 3,800 of them. And he did both of those things as a rookie. Nix also led the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time since 2015 with a 10-7 record. Yes, Denver’s defense had a great year, but Nix is clearly the team’s best quarterback since Peyton Manning called it a career.

'Punked' Nuggets "won't flush" Game 2 blowout loss in OKC

1 week ago | denversports.com | Jake Shapiro

Two teams were scheduled to play on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, but only one actually showed up, according to Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic. “Basically, it was one team playing tonight,” he said. “Even the turnovers, misses, they were aggressive. They were rebounding the ball. They were just better. They were much, much better than us today, and that’s why the score was so bad.”How bad? One of 10 times in Nuggets franchise history that they have lost by 43 or more points, dropping 149-106.
