Happiness is a matter of expectations. I believe this current roster if healthy is a 10-11 win team with at least 1 playoff win.
I think there’s a world where we don’t get hit with injuries, Kyler Murray/Addison/Jefferson is awesome and with our new defensive talent, the Vikings are a serious contender.
Am I expecting too much?
Imagine you are a Denver fan. The air is dry, the altitude is such that breathing is tough, you know in your heart that Bo Nix ain’t it, and your basketball team is supposed to be a contender.
Nuggets get matched up with the Wolves because of literally the last couple games in the NBA season and now the best case is a 7 game dog fight where despite the Wolves missing two of their starters and their best player, they are out hustling you, embarrassing you off the court, and will probably eliminate you in 6.
You realize your team even if they eke past the Wolves are not a contender, Jokic is overrated, your coach stinks, your interior defense will get shredded by OKC or San Antonio, and let’s be real, your mascot doesn’t come close to matching Crunch’s aura.
We should be giving sympathy to Denver, not hating them. I’d encourage people to tell Denver fans they meet this week at the Target Center for game 6 that “it’s not their fault and things will get better.” Perhaps a proactive hug will help cheer them up.
Wolves in 6.
