From sidelines to pickleball courts, Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s searing intensity spurs conference finals run

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:52:52 GMT

The pickleball courts of downtown Minneapolis were bustling on a Saturday afternoon three weeks ago.Having seized Game 3 over the Timberwolves the night before, the Nuggets had a comfortable 3-0 lead in their first-round playoff series. Tucked inside a Lifetime Fitness beneath the Target Center, there was an audible chatter coming from the far court. In fact, it was the only court of the three generating any noise whatsoever.There, decked out in NBA-issued gear, was Nuggets coach Michael Malone.The fiery, occasionally stubborn eighth-year veteran has survived the incessant churn of the NBA’s coaching carousel to become the fourth-longest tenured head coach in the league. He’s also got the Nuggets back in the Western Conference Finals for the second time in four seasons, where they’ll tip off against the Lakers in Game 1 on Tuesday night.To those who’ve watched Denver’s rise, Malone’s searing intensity, whether stalking the sidelines or barking into an official’s ear, is an unm...

Broncos Mailbag: Did Sean Payton’s rookie minicamp feel much different than Nathaniel Hackett’s?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:52:52 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Hey Parker, what are your thoughts on the team’s signing of Ben DiNucci and Jacques Patrick? DiNucci seems like a No. 3 QB, but Patrick intrigues me. Do you think he has a shot at making the 53-man roster and potentially being a short-yardage type of guy? He’s huge!— Mike, DenverHey Mike, thanks for getting us going this week.DiNucci was hoping for an opportunity like this one and he clearly made enough of an impression that Denver decided to get him — and Patrick, too — a 90-man roster spot.It’s a long slog to cracking the 53-man roster, especially as a third quarterback. Coach Sean Payton for the most part in his Saints tenure didn’t carry one outside of the Taysom Hill years and then 2021 when New Orleans rolled through several options in Year 1 of the post-Drew Brees era. And, remember, the Broncos gave Jarrett Stidham ...

Opinion: Preserving historic buildings like 1741 Gaylord can help with the housing crisis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:52:52 GMT

In a May 5 opinion column about Denver City Council’s unanimous decision to make 1741 Gaylord St. a local landmark, opinion editor Megan Schrader concluded, “Tear down this old house — worth at least $1.5 million — and build many apartments or condos for working Coloradans to work downtown, play at City Park and live in a community that is increasingly full of condos and apartments.”The statement implies that, without tearing down the 121-year-old building, and potentially others like it, Coloradans will be denied the vibrant, walkable life we aspire to. The piece’s all-or-nothing angle suggesting historic preservation goals are at odds with affordable housing goals pits Denverites against one another and discourages consensus. It’s also just plain wrong.The house at 1741 Gaylord St. was one of about 700 Denver buildings slated for demolition in 2022. All the others went down without formal objection. But the community, Historic Denver and, ultimately, Denver City Council, dre...

Elias: California’s new housing laws, green energy mandates in conflict

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:52:52 GMT

California has a bunch of new housing laws, several taking effect in each of the last few years.Related ArticlesLocal Opinion | Elias: How Barbara Lee could become Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate Local Opinion | Elias: Newsom laying groundwork for possible 2028 presidential run Local Opinion | Elias: Dumb decarceration idea may rear head elsewhere in California Local Opinion | Elias: California GOP can expect more irrelevance if it doesn’t change They eliminate most single-family “R-1” zoning to allow more housing and permit more floors in any new apartment building or condominium structure if it contains an acceptable percentage of “affordable” or low-income units. One measure also allows more living units by mandating fewer or no parking spaces in buildings near mass transit stops on the flawed presumption that most people living there won’t ever want to own a vehicle.At times, the law...
