2024 Denver Nuggets:
1. Fired their head coach and GM right before the playoffs.
2. Had one of the worst benches in the NBA.
3. Aaron Gordon only played 51 games and dealt with injuries all season.
4. Murray was coming off an injury and started very slow.
5. Jokic played almost 40 minutes a game leading into January.
6. Very open public feud between HC and GM that affected the morale of the team.
STILL went 7 games with a severely injured roster with one of the best teams of the modern era and arguably could have won that series if AG didn’t suffer an freak injury at the end of game 6 and MPJ didn’t have an injury that limited him.
I am so excited to see how this team competes this year. The culture, XOs, developing story lines, the growth of the young players.
Everyone is on a mission this season.
There is ONE NBA Game 7 on Saturday.
There is ONE NHL Game 7 on Saturday.
Both involve teams from Denver in huge leagues.
And they start 30 minutes apart. How remarkably dumb.
2025 = 45^2
It's a perfect square. It will probably be the only perfect square year you ever get to live in.
The last time that occurred was in 1936. The next will be in 2116.
So, make 2025 a perfect year for you.
