Inside the mind of Nuggets playoff X-factor Cam Johnson, who’s currently reading “The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality” to unwind after games. One of the most fun interviews I’ve had with a player in a minute. For @DenverPost denverpost.com/2026/04/18/wi…

Nuggets fans: I’m sorry I can’t be at Ball Arena tonight. I’m at a wedding, so our stellar new guy @sam_jane230 has you covered for @DenverPost at Nuggets-Pelicans, which seems like an interesting one so far…

It’s Nuggets opening day. In a changing NBA, where depth is as essential as star power, Denver turns to an aging star to ward off roster erosion Wrote about DeMar DeRozan, Halloween costumes, taxi rides, videotape, childhood, parenthood & time running out denverpost.com/2026/10/22/de…

That’s awesome, thanks @VicLombardi and @TurnerSportsEJ!
How about Ernie Johnson citing the @BennettDurando article at halftime tonight. “Derozan is a corner dog.” Great article kid.

Jamal Murray on turnovers: "Just rushing. Not trusting what's there, what's already open. I got in the lane and had a floater, and just wasn't reading the play properly. ... If you miss, you miss. Whatever. You air-ball, whatever. So forth. Just play with whatever's open."

David Adelman: "The open man wins in the NBA, especially against this team. If you turn down open shots and drive it back into their defense, this is the best defense in the league, so that's not a good decision."

Chet Holmgren with the early block of the year on Christian Braun. Sheesh.

Cam Johnson questionable to return with a right ankle sprain. Alpha Diallo starts the second half.

Christian Braun tried the SGA on SGA. Knocked down the step-back middy, but got called for pushing off. Laughs are exchanged. Braun contests another miss by Shai at the halftime buzzer, and the reigning MVP goes to the break with 2 points on 0/7 FG. The Nuggets lead 48-44.

Cam Johnson to the bench to get something looked at. He's looked uncomfortable a couple of times after hitting the deck in this first half.

Btwn the injuries and the opponent, David Adelman has had no interest in trying an all-bench lineup so far. Aaron Gordon staggered first few minutes of the second quarter to give Brazile a well-earned rest, then Murray/Johnson came back in. Nuggets grinding in non-Jokic minutes.

Aaron Gordon got hit with an offensive foul on what he thought should've been a made 3-pointer plus a defensive foul. Nuggets took a long time to go over the tape, then decided they wanted to challenge it, but the crew didn't grant it, said ball had been given to inbounder first.

Nuggets kept two defenders/athletes on the floor at all times as they rotated out everyone except Nikola Jokic in the first quarter of the season. Trevon Brazile has eight rebounds in the first five minutes of his NBA career lol

Trevon Brazile and Christian Braun doing well with the crashing assignment. Brazile picked up a foul on that last rebound attempt, but he gets a warm reception back at the bench.

Trevon Brazile will be the Nuggets' first sub of the season.
