On the eve of the Denver Nuggets 2017-18 debut, guard Will Barton summed it up best: “It’s like Christmas almost. Everybody goes to sleep early the night before, getting ready to wake up and get those presents.”
It’s been 188 days since we’ve last seen the Denver Nuggets play an official game. For fans and players alike it really is like Christmas, except instead of waking up early for presents we get to wait another long day to watch the game. Instead of gifts under the tree, we get Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap under the basket, gently wrapped in the Nuggets slick, new navy blue uniforms.
