How concerned should we be with the Nuggets’ record against teams above .500? Currently we (have a losing record) against those teams and a (near-perfect) record against sub .500 teams. Nice to know we are beating the teams we should be beating, but the Nuggets are getting the good teams’ best games. Do you think we’ll improve down the stretch and focus when it comes to playoff time to run it back?

I tend to think it’s not a big deal because when there’s this much parity in the top half of the NBA standings, all the best teams in the league should be separating themselves by beating up on the bottom half.
