1. I love the way Michael Porter Jr. sets up the dribble handoff (DHO) with Nikola Jokic on this possession. Often times it’s the tiny details that gain you an advantage on any given possession. By getting the defender in the air and off balance, Porter is able to sprint into the handoff and take the wide open mid-range jumper.…...

With all the talk about Deshaun Watson possibly being traded to Denver and the Nolan Arenado trade still looming in Denver sports fans eyes, Allie Monroy asks Ryan Koenigsberg, Harrison Wind, Nathan Rudolph, and Drew Creasman to look back and discuss what was the best trade in Denver Sports History. Was it the trade that brought Champ Bailey to Denver…

1. There are complexities to the game of basketball and there are subtleties hidden in the tiny details of how an NBA team structures their defense. But few of those subtleties matter when a team is as incapable of keeping the ball out of the paint as the Denver Nuggets were against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday…...

Altitude analyst, reporter, and host Katy Winge was kind enough to catch up with DNVR during a little down time in her busy schedule. DNVR/Mike Olson: Hello! Been a little while! Last we chatted, Altitude had just assigned you to multiple roles. You seem to be thriving, and it feels as if things have only expanded. Katy Winge: It’s wonderful.…...

In this episode, coach George Karl explains to Adam Mares why the Denver Nuggets have a psychological advantage over the Utah Jazz that comes from something beyond just beating them in their most recent game or coming back from down 3-1 in their last playoff series. Plus, the two discuss Jokic’s level of play so far this season, what is…

1. People think of “chemistry” as an offensive attribute but is just as much a sign of familiarity and connection on the defensive end of the floor. In the clip below, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic execute a great, quick switch back after Murray gets witched out onto a big. Plays like this as well as seamless rotations are a…...

In this episode, Adam Mares fields a long list of mailbag questions about the Denver Nuggets. Topics include: Should the Nuggets run more plays for MPJ? What is MPJ’s best comp? How has the Nuggets bandwagon evolved in the Malone era? Does Malone hate rookies? Would you rather trade Murray or Porter for Beal?

“Patience, he thought. So much of this was patience – waiting, and thinking and doing things right.” – Gary Paulsen My first gig in radio came after almost two years of interning (read: volunteering) at my favorite local station. I had doggedly put in 23 months of splicing, dicing, and vocal frying to finally find myself working the midnight-to-6am shift…...

With Tom Brady headed to another NFL Super Bowl & no votes for this year’s MLB Hall of Fame class, there has been a lot of discussion about who is the greatest athlete of all time in any sport and who else is in that conversation? Is Tom Brady getting up there, is it Wayne Gretzky? What about Michael Jordan…

1. One of the things that the Denver Nuggets can do to improve their flow in the half court is to improve their timing on secondary reads. In the clip below, Jamal Murray reacts slowly to a backdoor cut that could’ve segued perfectly into a dribble handoff with Nikola Jokic. Instead, he allows the defense to reset before walking into…...

1. A few weeks ago I highlighted how PJ Dozier got an earful from Nikola Jokic when he wasn’t recognizing a specific cut that Jokic wants from whoever is playing the dunker spot (the spot just outside the paint along the baseline). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_NREbLj2o On Sunday, Dozier made the appropriate cut without hesitation in one of the highlight plays from the…...

Allie Monroy is joined by an All-Star panel of DNVR reporters to discuss a variety of sports topics in the Mile High City. The Denver Nuggets were off to a slow start and the Colorado Avalanche lost their first game of the season. Do slow starts matter more in such a shortened season for the NHL and NBA or will…

1. The Denver Nuggets have both found a combination of players that work off of the bench and also a way to better utilize the skillsets of those five players. The clip below highlights the strengths of each of the five players as well as the way all five guys can work in concert. From Facundo Campazzo pressuring the ball…...

The Denver Nuggets are eight games into their season, the Colorado Avalanche are five days out from their first game of the 2021 season.
