“We don’t skip steps” – Michael Malone “We don’t skip steps” – Tim Connelly “We don’t skip steps” – Nikola Jokic “We don’t skip steps” – Josh Kroenke, Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap, Gary Harris… Oh, and in case you were wondering… You probably get the point by now. Apparently the NBA’s new Cinderella Squad is vehemently against skipping. And steps.…...

Those two rookies were perhaps the most unexpected success stories of training camp.

Less than a month ago, Cushenberry wasn't receiving first-team reps as he was fighting his way up the depth chart. Now, he's having "almost a perfect game" calling the shots for Denver's offensive line.

It’s been a wild week for college football. More games were played. More conferences joined the action. More players missed games because of COVID-19. More games were postponed. And now this: The Big Ten announced that it will play a nine-game football season that will begin Oct. 24. Just six weeks ago, Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said that there…...

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The Big Ten will officially be playing football this fall. After an extremely awkward public dispute — which started when the league announced it would be postponing back in August and has continued throughout — the Big Ten said on Wednesday that the league’s presidents and chancellors unanimously voted to resume competition. Starting the weekend of Oct.…...

Jerry Jeudy had two "critical" drops on Monday night. But those drops just simply were "not a Jerry Jeudy thing to do."

The Clippers came into their series against the Nuggets thinking they were going to walk all over Denver. But it was the Nuggets who were the more physical team.

We will probably tell our kids about this team. Unless, of course, your kids are already watching along with you. What a moment it must have been to watch arguably the best win in the history of the Denver Nuggets together. These are their Denver Nuggets, not the team you grew up watching. These Nuggets don’t know about your team’s…

Coming into 2020, Antonio Senzatela was the most pivotal pitcher for the franchise if the Colorado Rockies were going to contend for a place in the postseason. While the rest of the club has had varying success to the tune of 18-23 in starts by the remainder of the rotation, Senzatela has delivered on that make-or-break season. The 25-year-old grew…

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. The COVID-19 pandemic took nearly all of the fans out of Empower Field at Mile High, but one thing that didn’t change was the Broncos’ recent pattern of self-inflicted wounds in close games.

The end of Monday night's Denver Broncos game was defined by two twos.

The Broncos fell to the Tennessee Titans by two points, 16-14. And Vic Fangio left the field with two timeouts, despite the game coming down to the final seconds.

1. Lou Williams was a team-best +50 overall through the first 4 games of the series. Known as a microwave scorer but poor defender, the Clippers managed to hold a team-best 96.9 defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) when Williams was on the court over those first 4 games. Over the course of the last two games, the Nuggets…...

Let’s start with the obvious here. When the NHL announced their GM of the Year candidates and Joe Sakic wasn’t on it but Jim Nill was, the credibility of the award went out the window. Sakic’s offseason consisted of taking chances on a myriad of guys to improve Colorado’s depth. Every move Sakic made worked out, including pulling Val Nichushkin…...

The DNVR Broncos Crew, plus a few special guests, gives their take on how Denver's season will unfold.

Writing about this team is a privilege, but it’s growing increasingly difficult. What words are left to describe the 2019-20 Denver Nuggets? I’ve found it much easier to laugh out loud instead. The Nuggets will play in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals after defeating the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 111-98 Sunday morning. The sky is…
