The 2012-13 Denver Nuggets had not only their best season in franchise history but also their best one in any season with Carmelo Anthony on the roster winning a franchise-record 57 wins which is good enough to secure the 3rd seed with Ty Lawson as their leading scorer at 16.7 points and it also features Andre Iguodala but only for one season.
However, they would once again lose in the first round to the 6th seed Golden State Warriors in 6 games. After that, Iguodala would leave in the offseason for the Warriors and even once accused him of betraying the team. The Nuggets wouldn't return to the Playoffs until 2019.

Ty Lawson era has a special place in my Nuggets Lore.
I mean a lot of great teams are going to be forgotten because of that warriors stretch. Those Harden Rockets teams around 2016-18 would’ve won the trophy almost any other time if the Warriors weren’t fuckin ridiculous.
Who?
This was the team/season that got me into basketball. Wilson Chandler doesn’t get enough love
Mole?
This was the season that I had the most hope for since I became a fan in the Melo-Chauncey years, so this team will always have a place in my heart.
So bummed Gallo went down. Pretty homer take, but without injuries, team could have gone to the Finals since I remember the team matched up decently against San Antonio and Memphis that year.
Regular season doesn’t mean a whole lot but I remember Nuggets went like 3-1 vs Spurs and the one loss being a point or two. Same story with Memphis if I recall.
They weren’t particularly good. I mean, does anyone remember the Clippers lineup before Blake Griffin and CP3 joined DJ to form Lob City?
Fuck iggy
We need more yellow jerseys
