The Denver Nuggets are 4-4 since the all-star break and haven’t looked like their best self since a few games before that. Their defense is up, ranking 3rd in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) but their offense has fallen off of a cliff, ranking 19th over that same time frame. Part of this is due to the team matching up against some of the league’s most talented defenses. Part of it is due to the integration of Isaiah Thomas to a bench unit that is suddenly struggling to score. But as the most recent loss to the Golden State Warriors highlighted, the most important reason for the offensive regression is the result of a team that is failing to get into their offensive flow.
