The most important news of the 2023 NBA offseason just arrived.
In the newest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the release of the 2023-24 NBA regular season schedule while focusing on the Denver Nuggets. Did the NBA give the Nuggets a good schedule? Is it easy or difficult? Ryan breaks down the national television schedule, the back-to-backs, and the home-road splits during each month.
Next, Ryan breaks down the newest addition to the NBA’s schedule: the In-Season Tournament. What is it? How does it work? Who’s in the Nuggets’ pool? What do the Nuggets do to advance? What happens to those games on the regular season schedule? Ryan explains it all.
Finally, Ryan ranks the top 10 most important Nuggets games based on his hyper advanced “Excitement Rating” system. These are the games that the Nuggets should feel the most “excitement” about if they end up winning them.
