Nuggetsky had a lot of potential but it feels kind of dead lately

With Jamal Murray being consistently excellent throughout the season, the Nuggets winning formula is remarkably simple: Aaron Gordon plays.

Jamal, have some mercy.

The Nuggets will finish this season pretty comfortably as the top offense in the league and likely the second-best in NBA history (behind only Boston in 23-24). When healthy, they’ve been much better than their season average offensive rating. Please find some defense. 🙏🙏🙏

Today’s hard-to-believe stat: the Nuggets are 10-6 this season on the second night of a B2B. It’s felt much worse than that, but probably because they are 3-3 in the last 6 of these, which have felt more important as seeding has started to matter.

Ugly but actually a very vintage Nuggets clutch victory. Love to see it.

How many wins in the final ten games Denver would need to pass LA for the 3-seed: LA: 8-2 or better, they clinch LA: 7-3 DEN: 10-0 LA: 6-4 DEN: 9-1 LA: 5-5 DEN: 8-2 LA: 4-6 DEN: 7-3

Good move. Saves Peyton for Wednesday against Mavs when AG likely won’t play. LAST B2B OF THIS GODFORSAKEN SEASON.

Nuggets now 10-2 as a healthy team and have avenged the ridiculous Blazers bear hug game

I missed most of the first quarter but this game feels very much like the Nuggets think they can just turn on five-ish minutes of good defense late in the game to put it away. Dangerous gamble.

The Nuggets haven’t been whole since game 11 of the season, but they’ll finally have a healthy rotation on Sunday. BTW: The only two games they lost in the first eleven were both games the Nuggets missed a game winner in regulation or OT. Just please give me that team back for the playoffs. 🤞🤞

The Nuggets are essentially locked into a seed between 3-6, meaning their first round opponent is (almost definitely) going to be LAL, MIN or HOU. I’ll take Denver in any of those series. Would prefer Houston. Don’t really want to have to deal with Luka and the LA whistle.

Nuggets win a tough, clutch game. Minny loses to the hapless Blazers. It’s all good again

Gut check time for the Nuggets. Season feels like it’s at a crossroads.

I’ve admired how much Adelman has committed to playing THJ and Bruce together this year. But it’s really only worked when they’ve also had Peyton out there with them.

The Denver Nuggets have unequivocally had the biggest schedule disadvantage of any team in the NBA. ❌They’ve spent just 44 days of the season at home (the fewest). ❌Their longest home stand (4 games) was the shortest in the league. ❌They’ve had the most B2Bs of any team, and most road B2Bs

The Nuggets should 100% beat a tanking Memphis team, even on a supreme rest disadvantage. We’re getting to the point that I have to say…well, there are no rest disadvantages in the playoffs, and maybe they’ll be healthy. It’s bleak but there’s still a window this team can achieve greatness.

I didn’t watch the game. But I uh, have some concerns about this team.

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
After tonight, the Nuggets will have 12 games left and 9 of them are at home. There’s only one more B2B but it’s PHX on the road and DAL at home the next day. Just 5 of the 12 will be against teams with winning records. Huge opportunity to both build momentum and rest ahead of playoffs.

It appears Adelman has given up on Jalen Pickett, which says a lot given how bad Tyus Jones is.

The secret to good Valanciunas minutes is giving him several days off in between every game he plays I guess.

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
I can say this objectively because Jokic has three and I don’t care if he gets a fourth: Luka Doncic being a distant fourth in MVP odds is senseless. He’s having a crazy year.
010
walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
No Embiid, Maxey, Oubre or George for Philly tonight. Sixers are punting this game and the Nuggets need to go for the throat. No falling into a trap game, please.

Just shopped along side Spencer Jones for awhile. He even used the dressing room next to mine. He doesn’t know I’ve been vigorously defending him online lol

He got exactly 20. I can go back to hating Minnesota.

Are the Wolves really about to end Shai’s fake 20-point game streak? Do it, Minny.

The SGA game winner and the Luka game winner were both made after unquestionable, by-the-book, uncalled push offs.

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
In retrospect, having a career worst shooting performance and fouling out for the first time in six years only for the Lakers to barely win by two points in overtime after a miraculous international missed free throw in regulation and a buzzer beater in OT…. That IS kind of hilarious.
160
walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Aaron Gordon missing a critical free throw was more of a reason the Nuggets lost than anything Adelman did tonight but we love Mr. Nugget too much to say it

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Everyone yelling for Nuggets to foul Luka Doncic needs to go watch more Luka Doncic. Probably the number 1 or 2 guy in the nba that can hit tough shots in weird angles as you’re trying to grab him.

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Not related to the game really but I find it concerning that multiple credentialed members of Nuggets media don’t know that teams only get to call 2 timeouts in the final 2 mins of a game. Lots of bitching about end of game management from people who frankly don’t know what they are talking about.

Jamal has been atrocious today but if the Nuggets keep this close he still has the chance to do the funniest thing possible

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
The Nuggets are looking pretty good in the tiebreaker situation, unlike last year. They’ve clinched over Phoenix, Minnesota and Houston. A win over the Lakers tomorrow locks up all of the possible two-team ties.

Game ball to Spence. He had energy when no one else did and the small ball bench lineup was electric. Excellent win.
0171
walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
I didn’t think Adelman would do this in the same game but wow look at what happened when he replaced Val with Spencer 👀

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
How do you score 41 points and only outscore your opponents by 4 😭
120
walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
My biggest concern (other than health) is that Val is getting cooked so badly that I almost don’t think you can play him in the playoffs, and the Nuggets do not have another center they trust besides Gordon rotating in. They should probably try experimenting with a smaller bench lineup because whew

Not only are the Nuggets’ legs too tired to make the threes, they are also too tired to stop the transition after missing them.

Important measuring stick game but SO glad they prioritized Gordon’s health

How many guys in the NBA could score 80+ if they were 100% committed to statchasing? I don’t think it’s that many: SGA Luka Jokic Brunson Ant Donovan Maybe 1-2 others? 80 is insane. Most guys can’t get to 50, even with the most shameless grifting. Respect Bam, lol

Cam Johnson is shooting 40.4% on 3s this year, higher than either of his years in Brooklyn and above his career average. He’s shooting 83.5% on FTs, second best on DEN. His rebound and assist numbers are virtually the same as prior years. He’s playing defense fine. Why does everyone hate him?

Shai is going to get to the elbow, shove CB with a push off, and win on a midrange.

Push off.

OKC fans love booing when players get assaulted by Dort. No, not at Dort. But at the opposing player for being assaulted.

walt denver @waltdenver.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
The discrepancy between allowable contact on guards vs bigs is never more stark than when Denver plays OKC. It’s two different rule books.
