In his 3 seasons in Denver, the Nuggets have grabbed 74.5% of available defensive rebounds and 25.2% of available offensive rebounds when Zeke Nnaji was on the court. Those numbers almost perfectly reflect league averages, a surprise to most fans who see Nnaji himself as a poor rebounder. Through two games this season, Nnaji has yet to grab a single…
The Denver Nuggets dominated opening night thanks in part to the new-look bench finding their swarm. Zeke Nnaji, Christian Braun, and Peyton Watson were flying around defensively for a 2nd unit that features a lot of length and youth.

The Denver Nuggets won their first NBA championship behind a historic offense built on chemistry and continuity. But there is one pet play in the team’s playbook that was especially unguardable in the playoffs. It’s a play that has roots going back to Peja Stojakovic and the Sacramento Kings of the early 2000s. Denver Nuggets assistant coach David Adelman shares…
Denver Nuggets defied the odds to win the 2022-23 NBA Championship. Brendan Vogt of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast has been there from the beginning. The trio of Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. were all drafted and developed while Aaron Gordon was acquired via trade at the cost of several key pieces for the future. What can the…
Jalen Pickett has a lot of similarities with Nikola Jokic. They both play at their own pace and nobody can speed them up. They both have skillsets that are hidden behind a lumbering, awkward, yet somehow also graceful way of moving around on the court. And both of their talents pop the more that you watch them. In this breakdown,…

The Miami Heat know how to cook up and execute a game plan. In game two of the NBA Finals, the Heat lured Jamal Murray into tough shots by taking away the Jokic-Murray two-man game. They also took advantage of Denver’s desire to stunt on Jimmy Butler drives, opening up wide open shots from Miami’s three-point shooters. We break down…
The Denver Nuggets looked too big for the Miami Heat in game one of the NBA Finals. Cross-matches exasperated an already undersized front court and the Denver Nuggets were surgical in the way that they capitalized on those cross-matches. But there are ripple effects to the Heat’s fear of getting cross-matched or beat in transition. In game one, those ripple…

Jamal Murray was right in game one when he yelled to the crowd “we’re ready for this.” It was true of their game plan coming into the game and appears to be true more broadly about their readiness to take the next, and perhaps final step towards becoming NBA champions. In this film study deep dive I breakdown the key…
Have the Nuggets comfortably outmatched the Timberwolves in the first two contests? Yes. Have they played games they will need to vastly improve upon to notch 14 more wins before all is said and done? Hell. Yes. Wildly, in this case, both things can be true. While the Denver Nuggets have gotten off to a primarily-hot start in this year’s playoffs, they have also shown us promise…

1. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are that rare example of a duo that combines to become greater than the sum of their parts. Individually they're both great. Together, they're ever greater thanks to plays like the ones below where both players identify a read and communicate that read without saying or doing anything. No nod, no blink, no wave. Just the two seeing the same things at all times and knowing that the other saw it as well.
