The Nuggets shocked the basketball world by firing both championship-winning head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with just three games left in the regular season, sparking a dramatic turnaround in team energy and performance. Stories revealed a toxic power struggle where Malone would purposely set up practice to humiliate players drafted by Booth while Booth would trade veterans to force Malone to play younger talent.

• Coach Malone transformed the Nuggets culture and should be remembered as the team's greatest coach despite the ugly ending
• Interim coach David Adelman has brought joy back to the team, winning three straight games
• Jokić's quote about the "beast being most dangerous when vulnerable" signals a potential playoff awakening
• The MVP race between Jokić and SGA shows Jokić has transcended the award – now recognized as the best player regardless
• Nuggets vs. Clippers first-round matchup will be a fascinating battle between the rejuvenated champions and one of the league's hottest teams
• Jamal Murray's performance against tough Clippers defenders could determine both the series and his future with the team
