A season of injury angst has reached its logical conclusion for the Denver Nuggets. Despite a gritty effort that saw Nikola Jokic carry the Nuggets to 48 wins and a fourth consecutive postseason appearance, the Nuggets are headed home after the first round of the NBA playoffs. All that’s left now is for Jokic to accept his second consecutive MVP award before heading off into the sunset to tend to his horses in Serbia — with a supermax contract extension soon to follow. The long-term ramifications of giving Porter a five-year, $172 million max extension will shape the direction of the franchise through the heart of Nikola Jokic’s prime. Porter at his best tips the board in Denver’s favor, but the body of work shows one dynamic season in the last four years. Denver fell from eighth in the league in 3-point shooting in 2020-21 to 16th this season; bringing back Porter’s 46 percent on triples in 2020-21 and Murray’s 41 percent is vital.


Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

I own none of the footage in the video, it is intended for the purposes of critique and education.
