Denver Post beat writer Bennett Durando opens up the Nuggets Mailbag periodically during the season. You can submit a Nuggets- or NBA-related question here.
Why is the Nuggets’ defense so horrific so far this season? Anything in particular stand out? I’ve only occasionally watched on national broadcasts as I refuse to pay for the cheap Kroenkes’ streaming service, but have noticed a ton of points being given up.

I don’t know about “horrific.” Points in a vacuum don’t always tell the whole story. But you’re not wrong.
