Nuggets Playoff Run Comes to an End

Fandom from Afar

The defending champion Denver Nuggets' season ended with a disappointing Game 7 blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder as Denver's lack of depth was exposed against the younger, more athletic Thunder team. Despite the difficult ending, the mid-season coaching change likely saved the Nuggets from falling into the play-in tournament, giving fans a respectable playoff run.
• Thunder dominated Game 7 with superior depth, energy, and athleticism
• Media narrative that Alex Caruso "shut down" Jokic is misleading as Thunder used a team defensive approach
• Players who gained respect: Alex Caruso for maximizing his role, Aaron Gordon for playing through injury, Christian Braun for fearlessness
• Players who lost respect: Lu Dort and SGA for excessive flopping despite their talent
• MPJ and Jamal Murray struggled significantly for the second consecutive playoff run
• David Adelman officially named head coach, bringing hope for improved accountability and rotation management
Looking forward to bringing you an offseason preview in the next episode where we'll dive into all the possible moves Denver might make to improve their depth and championship chances.
