Adam Mares: I’d give them an A-. The sting of the first loss of the year only hurts because perfection was so close, but once you step back and look at the week they had, the Nuggets are in great shape and have shown some flashes of improvement in some key areas.
Ashley Douglas: I will agree with Adam and give them a solid A. I’m really impressed with their focus on defense, and I’m happy to see them rely on that part of their game when the offense is struggling. They have a few kinks to work out with some new guys in the rotation, but given the level they’re playing at despite those issues, I’m hopeful that they’ll figure it out soon.
