Ryan Blackburn (@NBABlackburn): At this current moment, the Nuggets rank 25th in offensive rating and 4th in defensive rating, according to Cleaning the Glass. Denver’s clutch play has masked what has become a treacherous offensive lifestyle to lead, and it seems unlikely that Denver will have any sort of playoff success with an offense ranked near the bottom in efficiency. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray look good overall, but the shooting has to come around for Jokic if he’s going to average 4.6 three-point attempts per game. Given the current state of the offense, he may have to eclipse 38% from three-point territory.
