Six Years. Six long years of frustration, disappointment and heartbreak. Six years. The second longest postseason drought in Denver Nuggets franchise history.
Done.
There will be no decade of mismanaged rosters, multiple ugly moments and futility at all levels of the organization this time. No, this time the Denver Nuggets are back. With their victory over the Boston Celtics last night, Denver cemented what had become a foregone conclusion months ago: the Nuggets are going back to the playoffs.
For many fans, this will be their first playoff experience.
