The Denver Nuggets, losers of 4 of 5, are undoubtedly in a slump. They’ve put up decent efforts on this road trip, but when your lone win in the past week comes against the perennially awful New York Knicks and you suffer a few bad losses along the way it’s easy to have a glass-half-empty approach to this team.
It’s to the surprise of no one then that Nuggets are taking a really big hit in this week’s power rankings. Long gone are days of this upstart team building off of last season’s postseason run and cruising through the regular season.
