The Denver Nuggets are in a battle for the number one seed with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Currently the Nuggets are tied with the Timberwolves who hold the tiebreaker and are a single game ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Nuggets have four remaining games before the post season and will be facing the Timberwolves this week at home. Nuggets also face the Utah Jazz (results of game not available at the time of this writing) and the San Antonio Spurs before closing out the season with the Memphis Grizzlies this Sunday.
The Timberwolves will be facing the Washington Wizards, the Atlanta Hawks and the Phoenix Suns this week to close out their season. The Oklahoma City Thunder have the toughest closing schedule and will be facing the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks this week.
While the Nuggets have fallen out of the top spot on several NBA Power Rankings, Nikola Jokic has not when it comes to the MVP race. Jokic still holds the top spot with his phenomenal season and he appears to be ramping up his postseason form.
In other sports the Colorado Avalanche are five points behind the conference-leading Dallas Stars after their 7-4 loss to Dallas at Ball Arena Sunday night. The Avs are at home for three of the last four games of the season. This week Colorado will face the Minnesota Wild and the Winnipeg Jets before heading to Las Vegas to face the Golden Knights. The Avs wrap up their season at home against the Oilers who beat Colorado 6-2 last Friday in Edmonton. Although Colorado isn’t likely to catch the Stars, they are still favorites to win the Cup.
The Denver Broncos have been pretty quiet the past week other than their visit with UCLA’s top edge rusher Laiatu Latu who could very well be a first rounder for the Broncos if they decide not to pull the trigger on a quarterback.
We are about two weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft, and the NFL Networks Rhett Lewis has Denver picking up Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy at number 10 after trading up two spots with the New York Jets in his mock draft.
The Colorado Rockies are named after the beautiful Rocky Mountain peaks in Colorado, mountains that soar above 14,000 feet capped with snow until the early summer months, however; the Rockies have only reached the peak of success teams only imagine, once.
Since then, the Rockies have displayed a product that continues to fall short of the peaks they so errantly represent and this season is no different. The Colorado Rockies are nowhere near the top of their division but instead, sit at ‘Rock Bottom,’ in the division with 3 wins and 8 losses. Currently, the Rockies are 5 games behind the division-leading L.A. Dodgers who have consistently year after year competed above fan expectation.
Unfortunately, the owners of the Colorado Rockies, the Momfort’s, haven’t offered fans a product that they can be proud of for years now, and until they sell, the product will remain the same.
