Everyone knows the drill. Thanks for tuning in and asking questions this week!
Let’s dive in.
What's really going on in the Nuggets? Are they losing because others are better or because they are worse than they were last season?

Let’s run through Denver’s six losses to gain a better understanding of what’s going on:
- Lost to the Sacramento Kings in the season opener on an overtime buzzer beater following some shenanigans from referees
- Lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Christmas in a redemption game for the Clips
- Lost to Sacramento again on the second night of a back-to-back with Jamal Murray sitting out
- Lost to the Phoenix Suns by three points in a game that saw Gary Harris and Will Barton combine to go 3-of-17 from the field
- Lost to the Dallas Mavericks in overtime in a game Denver should have won
- Lost to the Brooklyn Nets in a game Denver led by 18 points in the third quarter
Is there anything particularly insightful about those six bullet points?
