Denver coaches hilariously dominate local media in exhibition game
The The Denver Nuggets are just days away from the start of the 2025-26 NBA season with an away game against the Golden State Warriors. The Nuggets enter this season with legitimate championship expectations after rebuilding in the offseason around superstar Nikola Jokić.
Earlier this week, the Nuggets followed in the footsteps of a recent viral moment created by the Boston Celtics by allowing their coaching staff to confront members of the local media in battle.
Needless to say, things went in a similar fashion to Boston.
Of course, NBA coaching staffs are often made up of former players, so even if they may not be in their prime anymore, they’re usually better at the sport than members of the local media.
Big season for the Nuggets
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets are hoping to make a comeback this year after two straight exits from the playoffs in Game 7 of the second round.
Last year, Denver swept the Oklahoma City Thunder in a series in which Nikola Jokic was ineffective from the field and didn’t get much help from the supporting cast, but was still able to carry the eventual champions to a full series.
This offseason, the Nuggets made several big moves, including trading Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, as well as bringing in Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown in free agency.
That, combined with Jamal Murray’s healthy offseason and the projected rise of young players like Christian Brown and Peyton Watson, could be enough to propel the Nuggets back to the top of the Western Conference hierarchy.
Of course, the Thunder return essentially the same roster from a year ago, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they can improve as well, given the youth they have on their roster.
Still, the Nuggets will enter this season with arguably the most well-rounded supporting cast of Jokic’s career.
