It’d be easier, and far more satisfying, to turn the page to next season when the Nuggets can dream of a playoff run extending well into June.
Instead, in the wake of Denver’s 4-1 ouster by Golden State in the first round, it’s informative to audit the season that was and to understand that, in many ways, the Nuggets overachieved.
Jokic, who was en route to Serbia less than two days after Denver’s season ended, never allowed the locker room to dwell on what they were missing. If he wasn’t going to feel sorry about the situation — and perhaps no one in the NBA carried more of a physical and mental burden than he did — none of his teammates had a right to complain, either.
When the Nuggets secured their lone win in the playoffs, it was Jokic, again, absorbing attention and then entrusting Barton in the corner for the dagger 3-pointer.
