Long time locked-on nuggets listener here- great to see you writing about the nuggs on Substack, Matt!
Those are entire season stats vs. 1/3 of this year, right? Those could change a decent amount. Also, it seems like they've conceded to effortless defense for 3/4 of the games in this stretch, thinking they can stay connected with offense for most of the game and get some separation in the third quarter. Seems to be working against mediocre teams. Their offense has been incredible in this stretch. Will be interesting to see how they do over the next three, if they beat the spurs twice and the celtics, people will talk. I fully expect them split with the spurs, but Boston looks vulnerable now.

Hey Matt - How do the Nuggets compare to the 22/23 and 23/24 teams through 32 games instead of the full season?
