PORTLAND, Ore. — It’s 2013, and Will Barton is two seasons into his pro career and doubting for the first time in his life that he can make it in the NBA. He’s at Bay Club — a Portland rec center located a stone’s throw from the Trail Blazers’ practice facility and 16 minutes south of Moda Center, facing off…...
PORTLAND — Where do you even start? There are a million different entry points into whatever that was on Friday night at the Moda Center in Portland. So much happened, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts could barely recall specifics. “I have no idea what happened in the first half or the second half or the first three overtimes,” said Stotts…...
SAN ANTONIO — The last time the Nuggets won in San Antonio prior to Saturday night, Jamal Murray was a freshman in high school and Torrey Craig was a sophomore at South Carolina-Upstate. “Shoutout to Upstate by the way,” said Craig after stepping into the starting lineup and drilling five 3s in the Nuggets’ series-evening 117-103 win. “Go Spartans.” Nikola…...
Some uncut audio from the Avs’ room tonight, after a 5-1 loss to the Canucks. Surprisingly, there were a lot of guys in the room right after the game, making themselves available. At least there was an atmosphere of accountability in the room tonight. Not always the case. We have Semyon Varlamov and Erik Johnson here, talking very earnestly about…...
Win or lose, historic triple-double or single-digit scoring night, Nikola Jokic's biggest fans always line the hallway just outside of the Nuggets' family room after the game's final buzzer waiting patiently for their larger than life superhero.
BSN Denver spoke one-on-one with Denver Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway
They zoomed out to start the season and, at one time, were the envy of the NHL – a young, talented team building on a previous playoff appearance, with the potential No. 1 pick in the draft coming and a couple other studs in the system. The Colorado Avalanche goes into the All-Star break an object of pity, a skittering,…...
BSN Denver got the insight on Denver’s new offensive coordinator from 49ers’ coach Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday.
It all started when he was a teenager, when he tagged along with his parents for a multi-week hitch in the Northeast U.S. and Canada in their jobs as “Carnies” – traveling carnival employees. Despite being born in Seattle and raised mostly in Colorado, Aaron Allen somehow took a liking to the hockey team in Quebec as they passed through.…...
Semyon Varlamov and Philipp Grubauer have not gotten the job done for the Avalanche
There is no question that the New York Rangers want to make some deals before the Feb. 25 NHL trade deadline, and one of the teams they have been heavily following of late is the Colorado Avalanche. They have had two scouts following them everywhere lately – including Colorado Eagles games. The Rangers are a mediocre-to-poor team with a big,…...
Player grades for Colorado's win over the Los Angeles Kings.
It might come as a shock to many Avalanche fans, but there had been whispers for a few days now that it could happen:...
OTTAWA, Ontario – Just when I thought I had something figured out with this team, just when I dared to say this team had some momentum on which to build, just when I dared to predict that prosperity was just around the corner for this team again, the Colorado Avalanche went out and just stunk up the ice at the Canadian Tire…...
Denver had its guns drawn, chambers loaded and index finger on the trigger standing eye to eye with the Warriors on the cusp of Tuesday's Wild West showdown looking to make a statement to Golden State and the rest of the conference. Instead, it was the Warriors giving the upstart Nuggets a big-time reality check.
Forget about his off-the-field concerns, the Broncos have to be willing to take a risk with Antonio Brown.
TORONTO – I’ve covered a lot of Avalanche teams, but I haven’t seen one that wanted to win a January regular-season game quite as much as the one that played Monday night here in the Big Smoke. The final from Scotiabank Arena: Avalanche 6, Toronto Maple Leafs 3. Before the game, as I was walking through the corridor by the…...
What Jokic's comments after a dreadful loss in Phoenix says about the MVP candidate's growth.
MONTREAL – Vacant stares. Clipped, abrupt sentences. Shrugged shoulders. It seems like the members of the Avalanche are somewhere in the five stages of grief right now. First, there was denial that anything was really wrong. Then there was anger. Then, a bit of bargaining. Now, it appears some depression is setting in. Whether the Avs start to become a team…...
