Keeler: LeBron’s worried about home-court advantage in 2020 NBA Playoffs. That’s good news for the Nuggets.

Posted on by

At least they can hear you. Kind of. Thanks to web cams and the sharp knives in the NBA marketing drawer who made virtual fandom cool, they can even see a 2-D feed of you. Or your dog. But they can’t feel you. They can’t feel you in the final five minutes, when the Nuggets

Coronavirus and sports: What Colorado fans can expect from their new “normal”

Posted on by

The joint ticks every box. A 55-inch TV is visible from almost every angle. A collection of game-worn hockey sweaters and baseball jerseys hangs with pride along one wall, with special dispensation for the No. 92 of Avalanche center Gabe Landeskog and the No. 31 worn by former University of Denver goalie Evan Cowley. If

Kiszla: How soon can Jerami Grant replace Paul Millsap as Nuggets’ starter at power forward?

Posted on by

The chants of “M-V-P, M-V-P!” bounced off the Pepsi Center walls from the first time Nuggets center Nikola Jokic stepped to the foul line, less than two minutes into the first quarter of the home-opener in the most anticipated season in franchise history. “I’d much rather clean up and teach after a win than a

Posted on by

As Kawhi Leonard moved to center stage for his moment with Bill Russell, his San Antonio Spurs mates raised his arms, caught a wrist with one hand, and splayed the palms of the other as wide as you can. The team “Klaw” hint, an homage to Leonard’s mitts, was accompanied. The then-22-year-old forwards became the

Nuggets’ Torrey Craig suffocated Damian Lillard with defense. But when he exited stage left with injury, so did Denver’s season.

Posted on by

If Damian Lillard doesn’t want to look at Torrey Craig’s crooked headband-wearing mug ever again, there’s not a soul across the NBA who could blame the guy. Not after what he went through Sunday. The screens didn’t work. Being quick off the dribble didn’t work. It wasn’t Dame time. Wherever Lillard turned Sunday afternoon, Craig
