“Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.”- Theodore Roosevelt If the former Bull Moose Party leader knows anything about anything, these Denver Nuggets and their fanbase must have a lot of belief, because for better and for worse, the team is halfway there. At the close of last season, and with the looming returns of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter,…

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.

Make sure to pack a jacket, Mike.
Murray has ramped up his on-court work. It's been impossible to miss if you've been paying attention.
Everyone exhale. Take a deep breath. Nikola Jokic was back in the lineup Monday after a four-game absence. Soon enough, the Nuggets’ six-game losing streak — Denver’s longest since 2015 — was over. Extinguished. Doused. Finished. Jokic had the Heat in his back pocket by halftime. Denver led Miami 63-43 at the break behind 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 2…...
Michael Porter Jr.’s season is likely over after news broke Monday that he’s undergoing lower back surgery. It’s Porter’s third low back surgery of his career.

DNVR: Welcome back to Nuggets basketball! Even with the last three seasons being packed so tightly together, you seem to be very ready to get back to basketball. Is that right? Katy Winge: Well, when you say I’m “ready”, I think what I’m ready for is that feeling of normalcy. I think that cliche, “you don’t know what you’ve got…...
