Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: coming off a terrible loss to a tanking team, the Denver Nuggets need a “come to Jesus” moment if they are going to salvage this next stretch and stay in the playoff hunt. The win they need tonight is against both the Miami Heat and the South Beach nightlife, neither of which are tanking.
After butchering the opening game of a seven-game road trip that will likely decide Denver’s position in either the playoffs or the lottery, the Nuggets need to make up ground and win a game they are scheduled to lose.
