The Denver Nuggets‘ 2021-2022 season will be off and running before we know it on 20 Oct. against none other than the Phoenix Suns, the reigning Western Conference champs and the team that booted the Nuggs from the 2021 playoffs in one of the cleaner four-game sweeps you’ll see.
Since then, the Nuggets have signed perennially playoff-bound forward Jeff Green and re-signed trade deadline acquisition Aaron Gordon to a big fat extension. While Green is a great addition, he’s one of the only differences between that team that was dominated by the Suns back in June and the one we’ve got now.
