Keeler: Why Nikola Jokic, Nuggets could go medieval on Celtics, Jayson Tatum in potential NBA Finals preview
Could somebody send Nikola Jokic a text? We kid, we kid. Fun stat: The last seven times the Joker’s come off a night in which he shot below 45% from the floor, guess what happened the next time out? The Nuggets are … (checks notes) … 7-0. And Jokic’s average line during those “rebound” tilts:…

Keeler: Nuggets, Nikola Jokic still best show nobody can watch. And Suns fans, who see Phoenix games for free, wonder how Denver puts up with it. “It’s messed up.”
The Suns ship antennas. The Nuggets ship blame. “The (Kroenkes) should definitely look to maximize the fan base,” Adam Fox told me as he entered Ball Arena on Tuesday night. “Which means they need to make every opportunity available to customers who don’t have easy access to it via their cable providers.” Sound like anybody…

Keeler vs. McFadden: With Russell Wilson gone, should Broncos move up in NFL draft if it means landing Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy?
Sean Keeler: You know what I love most about the spring? Having my life dictated by whatever floats out from underneath Mel Kiper Jr.’s hair. Mock drafts are all fun and games, until somebody gets hurt — or until somebody gets desperate for a QB1 they’ve accidentally fallen in love with. Our man Mel’s pegged…

Keeler: Broncos, Russell Wilson, congrats! You just topped Dick Monfort, Nolan Arenado for worst trade in Colorado sports history.
Dick Monfort oughta send the Broncos a thank-you card. Heck, stuff another $51-million check inside the envelope, while you’re at it. Because Greg Penner and George Paton somehow just got the Rockies, the dumbest franchise in town, off the hook. Russ is cooked. The worst trade in Colorado sports history is official now. And it…

Keeler: CSU Rams should retire Isaiah Stevens’ No. 4 jersey now: There’ll never be another like him in FoCo, or maybe anywhere
FORT COLLINS — Becky Hammon sure looks lonely up there. “If No. 4 is not retired in men’s basketball, I don’t know what else you have to do,” CSU men’s basketball coach Niko Medved said Saturday of Isaiah Stevens, the rock of the Niko Era and the best point guard in Rams men’s history. “I…

Grading the Week: What do Broncos’ great grades in NFLPA survey tell us? Ownership is kinda overrated. At least compared to having Patrick Mahomes.
When you’ve got the best QB1 on the planet in your corner, ownership is overrated. But the latest NFLPA report, released a few days back, says Broncos CEO Greg Penner is the best boss in the AFC West. Which got the crack staff in the Grading The Week offices thinking: Do they hang banners for…

Keeler: Nuggets star Jamal Murray could destroy LeBron James’ record-setting night. But is that worth risking Murray’s bad ankle?
Michael Adams’ heart did a one-handed push shot right past his chest, then sank straight into his hands. There he was, baseline royalty, right under the basket. First time back at Ball Arena in about six years, and Jamal Murray lands like a dead fish three feet in front of him, rolling on the floor.…

Grading the Week: Broncos QB Russell Wilson sounds like he can’t get away from Sean Payton fast enough
Apparently, Russell Wilson and Ciara didn’t buy what Sean Payton was shoveling on radio row during Super Bowl Week. A fairly newsy seven days — congrats, Jenny Cavnar and welcome home, Troy Renck — in the Grading The Week offices got even newsier Friday. Because just when we were about to wax poetic on Christian…
