Over six years ago, former Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson posted a video of former Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw rapping a pregame scouting report to the Nuggets prior to a game late in the 2014-15 season. Shaw had expressed difficulty relating to millennials throughout his coaching tenure, and this was the keystone moment of a franchise trapped in a nightmare. Life in the Nuggets locker room had devolved, and Shaw was soon removed from his position.
That was the low point of the Denver Nuggets in my time. It was also the final year I was a commenter on Denver Stiffs instead of a writer, first spending a brief time at Hoops Habit during the 2015-16 year before returning here under the watchful eyes of Adam Mares and Zach Mikash.
