NBA players hate to lose, and with the Nuggets and Clippers both meeting tonight with three game losing streaks on their minds, tensions were running high before tip off. Those tensions boiled over to technical fouls, one on Blake Griffin after he appeared to be jawing with the Nuggets bench; then another technical, this one on Nuggets head coach Michael…...
After the Nuggets 114-107 loss at the hands of the Phoenix Suns last night, rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay offered up his thoughts on the game and what his team’s aspirations were for the season. “I really want to make it to the playoffs this year,” Mudiay said after Phoenix’s comeback win last night. “We’re tied for eighth (in the Western…...

After going 1-2 on a three-game road trip the Denver Nuggets return home to Pepsi Center to take on the Phoenix Suns, a team they lost to 105-81 in Phoenix just a little under one week ago.

We might look back at opening night against the Houston Rockets when No. 7 overall pick Emmanuel Mudiay said hello to the NBA with 17 points and 9 assists, and later remark: That was the night we knew. Or, we might reference the early November game against the Portland Trail Blazers when he blocked Damian Lillard twice at the rim…...
The Gregg Popovich coaching tree runs deep. Mike Budenholzer, the reigning NBA coach of the year served under Popovich as an assistant coach from 1996-2013. So did current Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown, who coached under Pop from 2002-2013. Quin Snyder, Alvin Gentry, Don Newman, Monty Williams, Joe Prunty and Jim Boylan all spent time on Popovich’s staffs at one time…...

THE RUNDOWN The fanfare and choruses of boo’s that accompanied former Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson as he was introduced as a part of the Houston Rockets starting lineup, and every time he touched the ball on offense, may have gotten to the one-time Denverite who played his first six seasons here. Lawson finished with zero points on seven shots…...

After much of the summer months were consumed with questions about pace and how head coach Michael Malone, point guard Emmanuel Mudiay and the rest of the Denver Nuggets would regain the home court advantage they had seemingly lost over the course of the last two years, many are still left looking for those answers. Denver fell 96-84 to a Jazz team, who…...
After trading away Enes Kanter at least year’s trade deadline, the Utah Jazz, behind the front court duo of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, quickly and rapidly ascended to the league’s most dominant defense. From the deadline on, the Jazz boasted the league’s best defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions), and it wasn’t even close. Utah’s 94.8 DefRtg through the…...
Coming off a season opening win over last year’s Western Conference Finals runner up, the Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets came back to earth in their own home opener and fell at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves 95-78.

I have one expectation for this Denver Nuggets team this season: to get better.

The turmoil has been written about, highly debated and even denied by some around the team, but one thing that’s for sure, this organization has…...
