The attendance for Denver Nuggets home games at Pepsi Center has gotten so bad this season that Nuggets coach Michael Malone is beginning to take notice.
Denver’s roster is stacked with young, watchable players including No. 7 overall pick in last year’s draft Emmanuel Mudiay, rising 20-year-old rookie Nikola Jokic and bruising big man Jusuf Nurkic. Throw in established veterans like Danilo Gallinari and fan-favorite Kenneth Faried, and it seems like the Nuggets have all the ingredients for loud boisterous home crowds, adding to the already innate Mile-High home court advantage.
