So close, Bruuuuuce. So close.
Thankfully, the Denver Nuggets math was a little more to the positive this season. Here’s a look at the progress (and lack thereof) the good guys made this season.
WINS
Let’s start off with the obvious one. The Nuggets saw a six-game improvement in the win column, finding themselves north of the win-loss Mason-Dixon for the first time since 2012-13. Should Denver be able to take another step forward next season (even of half the size), they ought to find themselves back in the postseason.
POINTS
A bit of a double-edged sword here, as the Denver offense was slightly less shiny this season (more on that on a sec), and put up 9,020 points on the season.
