It was a difficult night and a difficult season for the Denver Nuggets. They fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in extremely underwhelming fashion that will likely incite major changes within the organization. David Adelman clearly did not push the right buttons as the Nuggets head coach when the time came. Nikola Jokic had poor performances in Games 2, 3, and 4 before recovering later in the series. Jamal Murray never had a winning game after Game 1.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Denver Nuggets Game 6 loss to the undermanned Minnesota Timberwolves who played with more heart and hustle to close out the series. Nikola Jokic and Cam Johnson showed up on offense, but the Nuggets around them struggled on both sides. What’s next for Denver after a brutal first round exit?
