4 days ago | nugglove.com | Tyler Key

Mr. Nugget has embraced his inner-Robert Horry this playoff run!In 2021, the Nuggets made a franchise-altering trade with the Orlando Magic to acquire Aaron Gordon. This trade helped shape Denver’s entire decade of NBA relevance and helped them win their franchise’s first NBA championship in 2023. Fast-forward two years, and the Gordon acquisition is still paying dividends as he has solidified himself as a top 10 Nugget of all time.

AG's impact for Denver is hard to overstate. The Denver Nuggets are currently faced with the near-impossible task of knocking off the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. Of course, having the best player in the world in Nikola Jokic on your side always helps. But we can't forget the incredible impact of Aaron Gordon as well.
Adjustment David Adelman must make in Game 7 to save Nuggets season

It's win-or-go-home for Denver. The Denver Nuggets could've ended the Clippers' season in Game 6 on the road, but instead, lost 111-105, sending the series back to Ball Arena for Game 7. Losing in the first round would be a massive disappointment for a team that employs the best player in basketball. Denver had the most shocking end to the regular season when the Kroenkes fired Michael Malone and Calvin Booth with three games remaining on the schedule.
Nuggets are giving Russell Westbrook the gift that the Clippers took from him

The Denver Nuggets' first-round playoff series means a little more for Russell Westbrook. He signed a two-year deal with the Nuggets last summer after spending the previous two seasons with the Clippers. Westbrook helped Denver seal its Game 1 112-110 overtime with big shots down the stretch and defensive stops. He finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 34 minutes off the bench. The game showcased the true Russell Westbrook experience.
Nuggets could follow rival's lead with coaching move this summer

Denver could be next. The Denver Nuggets weren't the only team to fire their head coach during 2024-25, but they were the only team to do so with three games remaining in the regular season. Nobody thought it could get more shocking than the Grizzlies firing Taylor Jenkins, but the Nuggets one-upped them by moving on from Michael Malone. Denver and Memphis joined Sacramento as the third squad in the West to fire its coach, but the Kings did it months earlier.
James Harden's MVP opinion leaves Nuggets fans rolling their eyes

Make it make sense. Denver Nuggets fans have been through this before. The 2023 NBA MVP debate got ugly quickly, and Joel Embiid wound up winning it over Nikola Jokic. One of the main talking points was that Jokic needed to win a title before winning another MVP trophy. He did that a few weeks later and won the MVP award in the 2023-24 season. Jokic was unsurprisingly a finalist for the award this season, and it will come down to either him or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Nuggets face Russell Westbrook uncertainty ahead of critical Game 5

Game 5 is on Tuesday. The series took a turn for the worse for the Denver Nuggets in Game 3, or at least, it seemed that way. Nothing was going the Nuggets' way, while everything was going the way the Clippers wanted it to. LA cruised to a 117-83 win to take a 2-1 series lead, snatching home-court advantage from Denver. Michael Porter Jr. played through a shoulder injury that he sustained in Game 2. If it weren't the playoffs, odds are he wouldn't have played.

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.

Denver better be ready. The Denver Nuggets left Colorado with their series against the Clippers tied 1-1 ahead of the first-ever playoff game at Intuit Dome. Denver could've flipped home-court advantage back to its side with a win on Thursday, but didn't come close to doing so. Los Angeles cruised to a 117-83 win over Denver. The Nuggets had no response to the Clippers' 23-2 run that spread across the first and second quarters. Denver didn't have a response to anything LA did.
Russell Westbrook injury reveals ugly truth his critics never acknowledged

Losing Westbrook hurt the Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets had the unique experience of being part of the first playoff game at Intuit Dome on Thursday, but it's not something they'll want to reflect on in the future. The Clippers cruised to a 117-83 win over the Nuggets, which was LA's third-largest playoff victory in franchise history. Denver was doomed before the game even began. Russell Westbrook hurt his left foot in warmups, but still tried to play.
