  • Why Aaron Gordon Isn't the Same Player Anymore

    Why Aaron Gordon Isn't the Same Player Anymore
    Nov 13 2026

    Aaron Gordon has taken a noticeable step backward for the Denver Nuggets, and the biggest problem might not be on the offensive end. While Gordon is still providing solid contributions offensively, his defensive impact has seemingly disappeared. He isn't forcing enough turnovers, creating enough havoc, or making opposing ball-handlers uncomfortable. For a player who has traditionally been one of Denver's most important defensive weapons, that decline is becoming a major problem. Can Aaron Gordon get back to being the disruptive defender the Nuggets desperately need?

    The biggest concern with Gordon is how comfortable opposing players have become when attacking him. His ability to disrupt offenses, pressure ball-handlers, and create turnovers was a huge part of what made Denver so dangerous during its championship run. Without that defensive intensity, the Nuggets are losing one of the things that made their roster so difficult to play against. I break down why Aaron Gordon's defensive decline is becoming such a problem, how it's impacting the entire Denver roster, and what needs to change if the Nuggets want to get back on track. Can Gordon rediscover his defensive identity?

  • The Denver Nuggets Have a NEW Big Three... And It Doesn't Include Aaron Gordon

    The Denver Nuggets Have a NEW Big Three... And It Doesn't Include Aaron Gordon
    Nov 13 2026
    The Denver Nuggets may have found a new version of their championship-winning Big Three, and it doesn't necessarily include Aaron Gordon in the same role. Gordon is still an important piece of this roster, but Cam Johnson has gotten off to a tremendous start to the season and has begun taking over the responsibilities that made Denver so dangerous during its 2023 championship run. Rather than moving away from Gordon entirely, the Nuggets may have found a way to recreate that championship formula by allowing Johnson to step into a bigger role while Gordon takes more of a backseat. Can this new-look Big Three help Denver get back to championship contention? The key to mirroring the Nuggets' 2023 championship success may not be replacing Aaron Gordon, but rather redistributing his role. Cam Johnson brings a different offensive dimension to the lineup, and his early-season production has given Denver another legitimate option alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Gordon can still provide valuable minutes and contribute to winning basketball, but allowing Johnson to take on more of the responsibilities could unlock another level for this team. I break down why Cam Johnson's emergence could change Denver's ceiling and how this new version of the Nuggets' Big Three could help bring another championship to Denver. Can this group recreate the magic of 2023? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi. Download Kalshi and use code HIT to get $25 when you trade $25. 18+ only.

  • I Love Nikola Jokic, But This Was NOT Okay

    I Love Nikola Jokic, But This Was NOT Okay
    Nov 12 2026
    Nikola Jokic has become one of the most beloved players in Denver Nuggets history, but his demeanor this season has started to raise some concerns among Nuggets supporters. After an interaction with an interviewer simply doing her job, Jokic responded in a way that deserves criticism. Being one of the NBA's biggest stars comes with attention, questions, and accountability, and how players handle those moments matters. Jokic's frustration has become a noticeable storyline this season, but is his growing angst starting to change how fans view him? There's no denying everything Nikola Jokic has done for the Denver Nuggets and their fanbase. He's a generational talent, a three-time MVP, and the face of the franchise. However, being beloved shouldn't mean he's above criticism. His response to a reporter raises questions about his attitude, his interactions with the media, and whether the frustration we've seen this season is becoming a bigger issue. I break down why Jokic's response bothered me, why the interviewer deserved more respect, and why Nuggets supporters have started noticing a different side of their superstar. Can Jokic balance his competitive fire with the professionalism expected of a player of his stature? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

  • The Nuggets Are Leaving Easy Points on the Table

    The Nuggets Are Leaving Easy Points on the Table
    Nov 12 2026
    The Denver Nuggets have been finding success offensively by scoring in the paint and knocking down shots from the left corner, but there's another level this offense can reach. Denver needs to develop a better "shot diet" by creating more efficient looks, increasing its shot volume, and doing a better job getting out in transition. Finding ways to generate quality opportunities more frequently will be critical as the Nuggets look to maximize their offensive potential. Can Denver establish a more effective shot diet and become even more dangerous offensively? Getting more efficient shots isn't just about where the Nuggets are scoring from, but how often they're creating those opportunities. Denver has shown it can attack the paint and capitalize from the left corner, but improving transition offense and generating easier looks before defenses get set could take this team to another level. Nikola Jokic and the rest of the roster will need to find ways to push the pace, create more opportunities, and consistently get into their best scoring areas. I break down why Denver needs a new shot diet, where the offense is already finding success, and how better transition execution could help the Nuggets become more efficient. Can Denver find the right offensive formula moving forward? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi. Download Kalshi and use code HIT to get $25 when you trade $25. 18+ only.

  • The Nuggets Have NO EXCUSES Against the Injured Grizzlies

    The Nuggets Have NO EXCUSES Against the Injured Grizzlies
    Nov 11 2026
    The Denver Nuggets NEED to beat the Memphis Grizzlies if they want to save their season, and this matchup could be their best opportunity to finally pick up a statement win. Memphis is dealing with some significant frontcourt injuries, including Isiah Stewart, who is questionable to play. With the Grizzlies potentially missing key pieces, Denver has a major opportunity to take advantage and get a much-needed victory. One of the biggest concerns for Denver this season has been its inability to beat teams with winning records. The Nuggets haven't beaten a single team with a winning record all season, making this matchup against Memphis especially important. With the Grizzlies dealing with injuries and Denver running out of opportunities to turn things around, this is a game the Nuggets simply cannot afford to let slip away. I break down why this matchup is so important, how Memphis' frontcourt injuries could impact the game, and what Denver needs to do to finally get over the hump. Can the Nuggets take advantage of this opportunity and keep their season alive? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

  • Trading Nikola Jokic Sounds INSANE… But What If Denver Did It?

    Trading Nikola Jokic Sounds INSANE… But What If Denver Did It?
    Nov 11 2026
    What if the Denver Nuggets actually considered trading Nikola Jokic? A move of that magnitude would completely shake up the NBA and potentially change the landscape of the entire league. While the idea of trading one of the greatest players in franchise history sounds almost ridiculous, it's still worth exploring what a deal of that size could actually look like. More importantly, what could Denver realistically get back in return for a player like Jokic? Pulling off a mega-trade involving Jokic would be one of the most complicated transactions in NBA history. The Nuggets would need an enormous package of young talent, draft capital, and potentially established stars to even consider moving on from their franchise cornerstone. I break down why this hypothetical trade might be crazy to begin with, what kind of return Denver could demand, and whether there's any realistic scenario where making this move would make sense for the Nuggets. Just how much could Nikola Jokic actually bring back in a blockbuster trade? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

  • Why the Nuggets Didn't Pursue Nique Clifford (And Who They Should Target Instead)

    Why the Nuggets Didn't Pursue Nique Clifford (And Who They Should Target Instead)
    Nov 10 2026
    The Denver Nuggets missed out on acquiring Nique Clifford, who was eventually traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Oklahoma City Thunder. While missing out on a young talent like Clifford might seem disappointing, there are reasons why Denver may have made the right decision by not pursuing him. Finding the right pieces to complement Nikola Jokic and the rest of the roster is critical, and not every available player is necessarily the right fit. Identifying the right targets will be essential as the Nuggets look to strengthen their roster and remain contenders. Clifford could have been an intriguing addition, but I break down why I think Denver was right not to pursue him and discuss another player the Nuggets should consider targeting instead. The front office needs to be strategic about its moves, prioritizing players who can make a meaningful impact and address the team's biggest needs. Did Denver make the right call passing on Nique Clifford, and could this alternative target be a better fit? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

  • 2 BIG Reasons the Denver Nuggets Beat the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City

    2 BIG Reasons the Denver Nuggets Beat the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City
    Nov 10 2026
    The Denver Nuggets picked up a big win over the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City, and two things played a major role in getting the job done. Denver did a great job limiting offensive turnovers and controlling the glass, two areas that helped secure the victory. Maintaining that level of discipline and physicality will be critical moving forward as the Nuggets look to build consistency and keep momentum on their side. Can Denver continue to take care of the basketball and win the rebounding battle? Limiting turnovers and dominating the boards are two areas that can make a significant difference in Denver's success. The Nuggets need to continue valuing possessions offensively while making a commitment to finishing defensive possessions with rebounds. Nikola Jokic and the rest of the roster will play important roles in setting that tone, but consistency from the entire team will be essential. I break down why these two keys were so important against Indiana and how Denver can make sure they remain strengths moving forward. Can the Nuggets continue building on these winning habits? 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi. Download Kalshi and use code HIT to get $25 when you trade $25. 18+ only.
