Now that the Denver Nuggets season has come to an explosive end after a 112-106 overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the final day of the season, there are lots of questions that remain as Denver heads into the 2018 offseason.

Some of those questions were answered and more questions were discovered during the Nuggets end of the season media availability so Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports came together for the final pick and pod of the Nuggets' 2017-18 season to discuss a plethora of different topics.

Somehow, the Nuggets came away with an 88-82 victory keeping their playoff hopes alive. This was a game that Denver just refused to lose. Instead of hoping that the other teams vying for playoff position in the Western Conference, the Nuggets took the fight to the third-seeded Trail Blazers coming away with the biggest win of the 2017-18 season.

Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports came together on the newest Pick and Pod postgame show to outline how improbable the win was, Nikola Jokic versus Jusuf Nurkic, Jokic's historic stat line, and how a Michael Malone technical turned the tide for the Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets came into their home matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves knowing that it was the most important and meaningful game of the entirety of the 2017-18 season.

Brendan Vogt and T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports discuss the insanity of the Nuggets' win over the Timberwolves on the newest edition of the Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast from the deep depths of the Pepsi Center after the game had concluded.

The Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz have been connected at the hip in a plethora of different ways. Between their 21-year-old lead guards Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell, cornerstone centers in Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert, as well as controversial draft-day trades, it is hard not to draw similarities between each divisional opponent.

To discuss all of these things, T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports turned to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune to discuss all of the chaos surrounding each team.

The Denver Nuggets traveled to Washington D.C. on Friday night to take on Bradley Beal and the John Wall-less Wizards. Despite being without Gary Harris, the Nuggets pulled out a big 108-100 win.
