For a team that I have watched for several years, ever since the 2008-09 season, it’s always apparent when the Nuggets are in fact on the big stage. Generally, the color commentator will say something that’s only partially true about the make-up of the Nuggets as a whole, or the announcer will repeatedly mispronounce a player’s name. Nikola Jokic, for whatever reason, was a really difficult one during his rookie season despite probably being Denver’s most competent player at such a young age.
It’s for this reason that I grew fond of the commentary duo of Chris Marlowe and Scott Hastings on Altitude TV.
