Teammates rave about Nuggets rookie Peyton Watson: “He belongs.”

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:13 GMT

Nuggets coach Michael Malone did not make any promises.Even in the aftermath of Sunday’s regular-season finale, a win the team needed to feel good about itself before resuming with postseason play Sunday as the No. 1 seed, he was savvy enough not to box himself into a corner.But that’s the encouraging predicament Nuggets rookie Peyton Watson has put on Malone’s doorstep.Prior to Sunday’s win over Sacramento, Malone laid out his playoff rotation without knowing who the Nuggets were going to face next Sunday. Beyond the starters, he cited Bruce Brown, Christian Braun and Jeff Green as fixtures off the bench. Depending on the matchup, he mentioned Reggie Jackson and Watson as possibilities as well. That shouldn’t – and doesn’t – mean no one else will play a role.After the game, Malone was asked about Watson again. The rookie scored 13 points, snatched four rebounds, and authored one mammoth block – a “Swatson” – against Kings guard De’Aaron Fox.Malone didn’t hesitate to comment.“If I h...

Piccolo, an Italian-Mexican institution, will close at the end of April

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:13 GMT

Piccolo, a family-owned restaurant that has served both lasagna and enchiladas to three generations of Coloradans, will close its doors on April 30 after 50 years.The neighborhood staple, at 3563 S. Monaco Parkway, was the site of countless family get-togethers, dates and other milestones over the decades.But the past few years have made it difficult to run a restaurant, said Piccolo manager Robert Desrosiers, who pointed to inflation coupled with a lack of workers and Denver’s minimum wage increase as part of the problem. The building is also in need of repairs.In addition, owner Vince Canino, who is part of a large family of restaurateurs, is ready to retire, Desrosiers said. “Vince has five grandkids and has been semi-retired for about a year.”Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Drink | Was Casa Bonita’s food really that bad?

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems).It has never been easy to get a table at Hop Alley, and for good reason.The restaurant, located on a food-friendly corner at 3500 Larimer St. in the River North neighborhood, serves traditional Chinese dishes that have been gleefully dosed with as much fine-dining flavor as they are with soy sauce. Think egg fried rice with bone marrow, smoked duck rolled into a scallion pancake, roasted beets tossed in char siu sauce and cashew relish and, of course, its signature: tongue-numbing La Zi Ji, chicken drenched in Sichuan chile.Michelangelo Lepore, left, works at the kitchen of Hop Alley restaurant in Denver, Colorado on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.

900 kids between age 10 and 12 are arrested in Colorado every year. Is that too young to be criminally prosecuted?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:13 GMT

The 12-year-old lay in a bed in the intensive care unit, gasping for breath during a severe asthmatic reaction.While deciding whether to intubate him, Dr. Carly Muller couldn’t take her eyes away from the handcuffs chaining the boy to the hospital bed. Or the guard standing above him. The boy was in the custody of the juvenile justice system and hadn’t been receiving his medications.“It really seemed unnecessary when this boy literally couldn’t catch his breath, let alone run away,” the Children’s Hospital Colorado pediatrician said, describing the scene to state legislators last week.How young is too young for handcuffs, arrest and prosecution? Colorado lawmakers will decide this year whether to ban the criminal prosecution of kids ages 10 through 12 for any crimes other than homicide, and instead handle criminal behavior among that age group outside of the juvenile court system.Instead of the juvenile courts, the bipartisan bill, HB23-1249, woul...

The restaurant and entertainment venue in Lakewood is expected to reopen in May.The inescapable narrative about Casa Bonita is that the food was terrible. Well, every menu item except for its famous sopapillas, which appeared tableside warm and drizzled in honey whenever a customer would raise the little red table flag.This bit of local folklore has been repeated so much over the last 49 years since Casa Bonita opened that it’s practically a statutory truth. That’s why many longtime patrons were excited when the beloved eatertainment venue’s new owners, “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, hired James Beard-nominated chef Dana “Loca” Rodriguez to helm the kitchen.As the days tick down to the restaurant’s highly anticipated reopening in May, however, several people are blowing the whistle...
