Who is DoBetterDNVR? Meet 3 women feeding information to Denver’s loudest social media critic The account routinely excoriates Denver’s current leaders for the way the city approaches addiction and homelessness.

DoBetterDNVR bills itself as a β€œcitizen journalist" but critics say it relies on shock and conspiracy to build its platform on Instagram and X. The account's anonymity, lack of transparency and absence of public ethical standards undermine its credibility, one expert said.

Aaron Gordon answered the call for the Nuggets in Oklahoma City, just as he’s always done Aaron Gordon is Denver’s hero who doesn’t reach for the cape. It just keeps finding him.

Just when you thought you knew all the ways that Aaron Gordon is an amazing person, @bennettdurando.bsky.social delivers this masterpiece and you're left to ponder whether he might be the best teammate in the NBA.

#Avs end-of-season press conference tomorrow will include Chris MacFarland and Joe Sakic.

Avs don't do the traditional locker room clean-out day media with a bunch of players/coach/GM. Last year, it was MacFarland and Gabe Landeskog (because he hadn't played/talked all season).

Great steal there, but it's otherwise been a house of horrors for the Nuggets defense so far.

Way, way, way too many free drives down the lane.

Renck: Is this Aaron Gordon’s last stand for Nuggets? Could be if Denver loses to Clippers Aaron Gordon could become Gone Gordon.

This is a high-stakes postseason for the Nuggets.

It's not just one more year of Prime Jokic on the line. It could be the Denver tenures of several critical players.

Is Aaron Gordon one of them?

@troyrenck.bsky.social seems to think so: www.denverpost.com/2025/04/18/a...

How β€˜unprecedented’ roster turnover reshaped Avalanche for another Stanley Cup run This was a regular season unlike any other for the Colorado Avalanche.

It's been a wild, wild season for Avs general manager Chris MacFarland, who completely switched out his goaltenders and sent away a franchise icon.

And now they're ... somehow better?
