Only a couple of weeks ago I would be expecting the Denver Nuggets to blow out the Kevin Durant-less Oklahoma City Thunder. At this point I am just hoping for a victory.
Instead of a standard game preview I decided to address where exactly the Nuggets have been floundering and I will toss ...

... It sure was nice to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in a game that did not require a last second shot for once. Denver was in control from start to finish, but before we get too carried away with an easy win against a less than stellar squad, let’s take a look at how Denver did in the areas we highlighted earlier this afternoon. ...

Primarily the issues were a lack of running, poor shooting, stationary offense that was isolation heavy that resulted in fewer easy buckets, poor perimeter defense and a big decrease in their advantage from the free throw line. ...
