You are what your record says you are, and the Nuggets, and the once-proud Avalanche, have never been further away from playing meaningful games in the spring. It's easy to say it's because the Kroenke family have moved their attention to their more glamorous holdings. 
  However, it is more pertinent to say that their decision-making, and their failure to hire professionals who know what they are doing, has led to bad personnel choices, the squandering of the talent they do have, and the erosion of their once-rabid fan bases to historically bad levels, and all of the hot air being pumped in by their sycophants in the press mean nothing.
  Either hire quality professional management and let them do their job, or sell the damn teams to someone who will, or you will continue to see the fans who regularly attended Nuggets and Avs games abandon them. The public perception is that our teams are now a rich boy's toy. These teams used to matter. What are you going to do about it, Mr Kroenke?
