Thursday marked a new beginning for the Denver Nuggets‘ dynamic duo, Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray. The start of a new journey alongside their teammates and before their fans, who huddled around tv’s, radios, and computers, hoping for an improbable road win to kick-start the new campaign.
The season opener in Oklahoma City was a chance to rinse the sour taste from everyone’s mouths after the Nuggets’ stars turned in their worst playoff series yet — a feckless first-round exit against their bitter rivals, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But dynamic wasn’t the operative word for the duo’s performance against the Thunder—more like gysgeusic.
That taste is lingering.
