Is Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji, back from shoulder injury, the answer to Denver’s bench unit?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:32:57 GMT

NEW YORK – Nuggets coach Michael Malone waffled and hedged before settling on a satisfying response.Asked on Sunday afternoon whether he was still in “search mode” when it came to Denver’s bench unit, Malone was as honest as he could be with 10 games left in the regular season.“I guess if I don’t know that means yes, right?” he said.But the veteran coach knows far more than he initially conceded. On Sunday, Denver’s bench included Bruce Brown, Jeff Green and Christian Braun, and featured the return of Zeke Nnaji, who hadn’t played in six weeks due to a shoulder injury. It also, briefly, included Reggie Jackson, who was called upon once Braun got in quick foul trouble.“That second unit (was) defensively, more athletic and versatile,” Malone said of Nnaji’s availability.Despite Denver’s 108-102 win, its second unit got outscored 36-15.The trade deadline additions of Thomas Bryant (DNP – coach’s decision) and Jackson have been largely ineffective, but Malone said he was compelled...

Editorial: Fund Denver Health like your life depends on it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:32:57 GMT

Denver Health cannot fail.The safety-net hospital and regional Level 1 Trauma Center is in a dire financial position with the cost of providing care – especially for those with no means to pay — outstripping the revenue coming in.The state stepped up and has allocated $5 million in the 2023 budget to shore up Denver Health’s budget, but it is not enough.Providing life-saving care for those who cannot pay is a moral imperative. Denver Health not only saves lives with expert trauma care for car crash and gun violence victims, but the hospital is a last resort for uninsured individuals with chronic, treatable illnesses like homeless individuals or undocumented Coloradans with diabetes, renal failure or cancer.The City of Denver has long recognized the civic good of having a public hospital and has propped up the hospital’s operations with additional funding. Taxpayers may not realize the good of a publicly funded hospital until their moment of most dire need when their insurance ...

Machete Madness with Brujeria

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:32:57 GMT

Machete Madness with Brujeria: Formed in Los Angeles in 1989, it wasn’t until ’97 that Brujeria played live — a one-off gig at the Whisky.  And then it was the fall of 2003 that they embarked on their first ever tour. They really did keep everyone waiting.Not that you’d know it, based on the live beast that is Brujeria 2023. The lineup has shifted over the years — extreme metal “names” from bands including Napalm Death, Carcass and Cradle of Filth have come and gone — but the brutality remains intact.The legend of Brujeria has been told plenty of times, but the basics are that the band was formed by musicians including Dino Cazares of Fear Factory, Bill Gould of Faith No More and Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, with the aim of increasing Latino representation in metal. Not all of the band members were or are Latino, but their hearts were in the right place. The myth behind the facts was that Brujeria were drug dealing satanists, arm...

Meet Wishful, Wicked Painter Francesca Bifulco

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:32:57 GMT

Francesca Bifulco is a painter, mixed media, and multimedia artist from Pæstum, an ancient city in Southern Italy, where she was raised on a rather magical campground her family owned and operated — which explains a lot, actually. In her interdisciplinary work merging painting with sound, sculpture, video, and narrative histories — and now in a new exhibition of mixed media, sculptural paintings and installation called Candles Burning in the Wind — Bifulco is drawn to a fiery, visceral palette and an expressive, gestural manner of image-making. Capable of holding wit and curiosity alongside loss and trauma, Bifulco’s works process memories both personal and societal through the extrapolation of striking images and theatrical motifs. In this case, she considers the windswept, sharp-edged beauty of the palm tree, a non-native species that has come to all but define the city she now calls home. Inspired further by L.A. as a perennial muse to iconic rock ‘n rollers, the works are their ...
