Starting the season 0-2 doesn’t mean things are hopeless for the Nuggets, but it does confirm some discouraging signs about their viability as an NBA championship contender.
Are the Denver Nuggets bad? No, but that’s not going to cut it.
The Western Conference is stacked to the nines with not-bad teams. The Spurs and the Trail Blazers are the only comfortably bad teams, and the Thunder are the only ones who are unequivocally good — even the Timberwolves have some stuff to figure out.

What can we expect from Tua in his Week 8 return for the Dolphins against the Cardinals?
The Miami Dolphins will have quarterback Tua Tagovaila back in the starting lineup for the first time since Week 2. Tua left the game after suffering a concussion against the Buffalo Bills and has been on injured reserve over the past four games. After seeking specialists and talking with doctors, Tua is expected to make his return against the Arizona Cardinals.
Despite a moment of panic at Dodger Stadium, manager Dave Roberts remained optimistic, and Los Angeles is turning the page to Game 3.
The Lakers defeated the Kings in a game of big momentum changes, including L.A.’s 21-0 run to start the fourth quarter, for their best start since 2010.
The playoff race tightened considerably with some wild Saturday night results.
The Aggies are the only team in the SEC without a conference loss.
Game 2 of the World Series was pretty much all Los Angeles Dodgers from the start, but on a dime, the vibe in Dodger Stadium went from a party to deafening silence as the team’s superstar Shohei Ohtani walked off the field clutching his arm.
It happened in the bottom of the seventh inning with the Dodgers up 4-1 after Ohtani was walked to get on base. The next batter was Mookie Betts who struck out. With two outs, next at the plates was Teoscar Hernandez and on the first pitch that he faced, Ohtani — who stole 59 bases in the regular season — took off for second.
Shoehi Ohtani exited Game 2 of the World Series with a shoulder injury.
Shohei Ohtani has a case as the most spectacular athlete on Earth. His talent is finally on the biggest stage in the baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, but he had to leave Game 2 after suffering a scary injury on a failed stolen base attempt.
With the Dodgers leading 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Ohtani tried to steal second base. He was thrown out, and then had to exit the game with a left shoulder injury suffered during his slide.
Given the East Coast vs. West Coast nature of this year’s World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, it’s only fitting that a taste of one of history’s biggest East Coast-West Coast feuds — the one from the hip-hop world — made an appearance.
Fortunately, it was a small taste. That feud got very nasty at times.
The World Series started with a bang thanks to Game 1 being an instant classic, capped off by Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam in extra innings to give the Dodgers a 1-0 series lead.
