And it is over. The Nuggets fall in game 6 to the Minnesota Timberwolves and are eliminated from the playoffs. Despite even more critical injuries hitting the Wolves today the Nuggets couldn’t find a way to overcome their series deficit and this will end their season. Losing in the first round this year leaves no shortage of massive questions the Nuggets must answer this offseason. Where does this leave David Adelman as the team’s head coach? Is this the last time we see the big 3 of Jokic, Murray, and Gordon together? What happens with Peyton Watson? We break down this Nuggets season and what went wrong and how they could pivot for the rest of the Jokic Era. Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, Duvalier Johnson, and Eric Wedum (D-Line Co.) come to you LIVE from the DNVR bar to break down everything you need to know in this postseason edition of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast!
