They CANNOT be worse than last year:

The second Brian Shaw started reading books on how to communicate with millennials, it was clear that the Denver Nuggets had reached a whole new level of dysfunction.

Does that look like a guy capable of leading an NBA team?

For a solid two months, the Nuggets were in a tailspin of epic embarrassment, both on and off the court. Whether it was Shaw rapping the scouting report, the team chanting “six weeks!,” the decision to rest healthy starters for no reason at all or losing 19 out of 21 games, the Nuggets may have been better off just not showing up for games.

And yet, after all that, they still won 30 games!

If Mike Malone and this revitalized roster can’t top that mark this season, it’ll be because a meteor landed on the Pepsi center, erasing the Nuggets franchise entirely.
