Nuggets’ Christian Braun makes convincing case for playing time: “He actually played really good.” The first message that got through to Christian Braun came from DeAndre Jordan, who, until Sunday afternoon, sat alongside Denver’s versatile rookie on the bench.“They just say, ‘Change the game, change the energy,’” Braun said of what he was told before being utilized in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 122-120 loss to Brooklyn, the Nuggets’ third consecutive defeat.Braun, who played meaningful minutes for the first time since Feb. 25th, finished with seven points, three rebounds, and an assist while playing 11:39 of the fourth quarter. Down 11 when the Nuggets entered the fourth quarter, head coach Michael Malone turned to Braun after Denver’s defense collapsed, allowing 37 points in the third quarter. Those minutes, typically allotted for Michael Porter Jr., went to Braun instead.“When you’re down like we were, you’re just looking for a spark, you’re looking for somebody to give you some life,” said Malone. “… “I’m looking for guys that can guard, and Christian has shown all ...

Majority of young Coloradans are rent-burdened and want rent stabilization, new survey shows A new survey details how Colorado’s rent prices keep the state’s young residents from seeking medical care, buying groceries and pursuing a college degree — and it found a majority of young Coloradans support rent stabilization policies.The survey, released Monday by progressive youth advocacy organization New Era Colorado, polled 506 Coloradans between 18 and 34. and was weighted by gender, race, ethnicity, education and voter registration to match the characteristics of Colorado’s 18-to-34-year-old population, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, according to New Era Colorado.“We’re creating an environment in Colorado where we’re radicalizing young people to get involved in politics because if they can’t afford to live, pay their medical debt, their student loans, then people are going to start getting involved to change that,” said Tash Berwick, New Era Colorado political director.A map produced by New Era Colorado using Census Bure...
