Denver Nuggets - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

19 6 73 Den 9-3 You're Still the One – Shania Twain "You're Still the One" is a touching country-pop ballad about enduring love that overcomes doubt, time, and adversity. Shania Twain wrote it in response to public criticism of her real-life marriage, turning scrutiny into a celebration of lasting commitment. The song expresses gratitude and amazement that, despite all obstacles, the relationship not only survived but thrived. Its lyrics emphasize staying loyal through challenges and cherishing the bond that grows stronger over time. "You're Still the One" is a love letter to resilience and devotion, reminding listeners that true love isn't just about passion at the beginning — it's about growing together year after year. The soft, sweet melody enhances its sincerity, making it one of the most beloved anthems for couples who have faced — and beaten — the odds. A team that transitioned in recent years to be much younger but beat the odds to stay in the playoff race.

18 5 71 Den 9-3 Chicken Nuggets – Maybe a little pun intended, but much like a 10-piece of nuggets, Denver is deep, with plenty of options to dip and dunk their way through any game. They've been climbing the standings lately, and if everything clicks, this could be the year the Nuggets finally make their move.

17 9 59 Den 8-4 The Hierophant - A priest of unyeilding knowledge and wisedom - they must play the right way, and trust their structure. They're sleeper favorite, often overlooked, but blessed by consistency. Not afraid to break their own rules when needed - beware the Nuggets and their visions of the future.

16 11 63 Den 8-4 A picture of health until recently, the Nuggets have enjoyed stability and quietly gone about their business in the Western Conference. Still leaning into the three point build, with some nice veteran 2k players rounding out the squad, the Nuggets are well placed for some post season action. Where they will place remains to be seen in a tight race, where winning as many games as possible these last 4 weeks is vitally important. We wish the Nuggets the best of luck. (Just not against us in this weeks game of the week)

15 9 72 Den 9-3 "Every Breath You Take" by The Police Often mistaken for a love song, "Every Breath You Take" delves into themes of obsession and surveillance. The lyrics depict a narrator who monitors every move of a former lover, highlighting the darker aspects of possessiveness and the fine line between love and control. DIgga seen with Steph Curry’s player page still in his bookmarks. Watching from afar but never forgotten.

14 9 57 Den 7-5 9. Denver Nuggets (Brazil) The Nuggets' 'resource-rich' roster is reminiscent of Brazil's abundant 'natural resources,' utilizing their 'raw materials' to build a 'sustainable economy' on the court. Deep in talent, the Nuggets have a handle on things, and continue to find their next incarnation almost weekly.

13 20 39 Den 5-7 A rifle- Reliable, deadly and accurate the rifle always fires and shot. Denver are in the mix this season and have a really, really good roster. They're not the deadliest but they're dangerous for sure.

12 14 51 Den 6-7 Denver Nuggets - "Play That Funky Music" – Wild Cherry (1976) The ultimate white-boy funk jam - the Nuggets are full of funk! They sit 6-7 in this PR, and would be wanting the dial to move. They need that jam to come back to them, and have more times of dancing and singing if they are going to be in the fight. Can this week be the cherry on top, with a healthier roster on the court?

11 11 61 Den 7-6 Denver Nuggets: The Bound Titan 🏔️⛓️ Why? The Nuggets are a dormant force of mythic proportions, shackled by design but teeming with cataclysmic potential. Donovan Mitchell (94 OVR) is the Titan’s slumbering heart, a god-like entity restrained by ancient runes, waiting to unleash annihilation. The roster balances containment and controlled chaos, building toward his inevitable awakening. Titan’s Core (Dormant Apocalypse): Donovan Mitchell pulses with latent power. the Spider does not find his way in 2k but still there may have have a secret magic to wake him up. Chains of Order (Stabilizing Forces): Domantas Sabonis and Jalen Johnson are the celestial smiths who forged the Titan’s bonds, anchoring the team with double-double dominance and hyper-athletic versatility. Rune Priests (Sustaining Rituals): Veterans Chris Paul and Klay Thompson chant incantations of leadership and floor-spacing, maintaining equilibrium while the Titan stirs.

10 7 72 Den 8-5 The Welcome Stranger - The largest alluvial gold nugget ever discovered, 'The Welcome Stranger' valued at 3-4 miliion dollars in totals money. Discoveries like this are a thing of the past, which begs the question, can Denver keep this up? They have dug up gold lately, and found themselves in an abundance of wealth and glory. Klay, Sabonis, Paul, MPJ and Mitchell have found that extra something and unearthed a win streak that GM Digga (not touching this pun), has desperately been searching for.

9 5 72 Den 8-5 The Night King - The leading of the army of the dead and the bringer of the long night, although he is not a nice person, it is undeniable he is a bad ass. Those scenes where the men have been fighting the dead and are on the verge of them all dying themselves and they think they have won, until the Night King slowly raises him arms not only all of his original soldiers begin to rise, but also all the slain men begin to rise too and he has just doubled his army. Definitely a jaw dropping moment. We have spoken about the mother of dragons, but we can't forget that the Night King snagged himself a dragon as well, which was the main and only reason they were able to bring down to wall of the Nights Watch. If it wasnt for the next person mentioned who knows how far the Night King would have conquered.

8 9 68 Den 8-5

7 10 54 Den 7-6 The Big Bad Wolf (Three Little Pigs) - Denver Blows houses down and hunts with relentless determination. Determination is something the Nuggets have in abundance. This team has always been scheming and plotting to achieve, and they have been uncompromising in their assessment of what they need. They sit outside the top 10 in the list, however they are always in the equation. Never count them out, and never discount the efforts of GM Digga, as the Nuggets akin to the BBW will hurt you and devour you if given the chance.

6 13 45 Den 6-6 Nigel the Pelican (Finding Nemo) - observant, helpful and a team player, Digga gets to be the Pelican (it would have made sense for Leeroy now that I am 'saying' that) that helps support the stars of Finding Nemo and push the plot to the climax. In the NSL, Digga chooses to be a tertiary contributor to culture (great during sim testing) and happy to let his Nuggets work themselves out for the most part.

5 20 36 Den 5-7 Dr Heiter (Human-Centipede) - The Denver Nuggets might not be the strongest record, but like Dr. Heiter, they can put together a shocking, grotesque combination of players that will surprise opponents crippling all who stand in the way. The skills of Donovan Mitchell and Domantas Sabonis are a one-two punch that is phenomenal. Similar to how Dr. Heiter creates something grotesque but unique, the Nuggets have managed to pull together a unique roster that could be very dangerous despite the odds, and their GM Digga has been instrumental in making this team. "You’re going to be part of something special."

4 14 57 Den 7-5 The Joker - The Dark Night. This performance is tied in with sadness as it was the last one before Heath Ledger passed away. The Joker is a was a well know and portrayed character, but this one hits different. The Joke was captivating on screen and was a big reason why this movie is regarded so highly. "you wanna know how i got these scars?"

3 12 56 Den 7-5 I’m sure the Nuggets expected a higher offensive output for Sabonis, still though, he’s been efficient if nothing else and is 3rd in RPG.

2 5 50 Den 6-2 "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell- Both a reference to the mountain's in Denver and the really good start from them to start the year. Getting Chris Paul was an amazing get and they are performing much better than last year so far while also not even being in the Luxury tax.

1 7 26 Den 3-1 Lots of teams went 3-1 in the first week and the Nuggets were definitely invited to the party. I think getting off Stephen Curry when they did was a good move, even better considering Digga barely trades or writes back to trade offer discussions. A real chance that this could be Denver's best season thus far; they have to be playoff foe not fodder.
