The Nuggets collapsed. They weren’t tough enough. That’s a culture issue.
The Avalanche collapsed. They weren’t tough enough. That’s a culture issue.
What do the teams’ culture have in common? They’re both led by the same self-appointed “chief culture officer.”
Josh Kroenke.

Question: "What does a win against a hot team like this mean?"
Jesper Wallstedt: "It kind of says that we’re a better team than them. We beat them. So that felt good."

Seems like a big reason why David Adelman is still the Nuggets head coach is because of the team’s strong stretch without Nikola Jokic… Josh Kroenke explains. “ I think that that's a real testament to what da and the group did”
David Adelman was boo’d while being introduced before a HOME playoff game when facing elimination.
The loudest Ball Arena pops is when Aaron Gordon (Mr. Nugget) gets introduced.
Guess which one these men the Nuggets are more committed to keeping?
KSE is completely out of touch
I often think about this quote from Josh after the Nuggets choked that Game 7 against Minnesota in 2024.
At this point if you are trying to blame anyone else besides the Kroenkes for Nikola Jokic only having one championship, it’s time to change tune. It all starts at the top.
David Adelman is expected to return as head coach of the Denver Nuggets for his second season, per @BennettDurando
“Despite chatter that Adelman may already be on the hot seat one year into his tenure, the early sense within the organization is that he’ll return for his second season. He led the Nuggets to 54 regular-season wins with 28 different starting lineups before wiping out in the playoffs.”

🔮 If OKC loses to Wemby this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jokic ends up there. Gives Denver a real ability to reset with all the assets OKC has and gives OKC the weapon they need to compete w/ Wemby while Shai at height of his powers. A top player that would extend there too
If this is your takeaway, you have an agenda. Murray, Adelman, Braun, and Calvin Booth (for picking DaRon Holmes and a few other *terrible* decisions) are the fall guys here.
