Well, It’s been a tough five years for Denver Nuggets fans.
Since a 57-25 season in 2012-13 capped a run of 10 straight playoff appearances — granted all but one ended in a first-round exit — things haven’t been so smooth.
In the past five seasons, the Nuggets have gone a combined 185-225 without a playoff appearance to show — though they have finished just a game out of the eighth seed the past two years.
Now, sitting at 39-18, the Nuggets are in the midst of their most successful season since that 57-win campaign.
Led by 23-year-old Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets longest-tenured player is Garry Harris — who is just 24 himself.
