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!

The Nuggets are still alive after getting a massive blowout win at home. The Timberwolves didn’t have nearly as much fight this time around without Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVencenzo. The Spencer Jones game! Nikola Jokic had another 3rd quarter triple double, and the Nuggets offense was flowing free for the first time this series. The Nuggets now have to go into Minnesota on Thursday night and steal a win on the road to send the series to a game 7.

The Nuggets are on the brink of elimination in the first round despite a slew of injuries for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dante DiVencenzo tore his achilles early in the game and then Anthony Edwards also left the game with a knee injury. Despite the injuries the Nuggets were not able to get the win in Minnesota and are down in the series 3-1 and cannot afford to lose again. Is there a bounce back or is the season over? Where can Jokic & the Nuggets go from here?

Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves was the worst game of Nikola Jokic’s career. And it may have been the most demoralizing game of the last 3 years. The DNVR Nuggets podcast team looks at the things that MUST change in game 4 in order for the Nuggets to get back into the series. Zeke Nnaji may be a key player, Christian Braun may need to bring the ball up, and the Jokic-Murray two-man game has to find a rhythm.
