Repeating as NBA champs isn't easy, and with a 6-1 start this season, the Nuggets are showing they're not taking their success for granted.
DENVER — The were never demonstrative with the desire to repeat, but they were never subtle about it either. Let’s call it somewhere in between and leave it at that. They didn’t call a press conference to declare their intention for this season. At the same time, the confidence, the want-to and the purpose couldn’t be clearer. The mantra for a defending champion has been to do it again, and to try and start a dynasty. It’s been to return and continue to be the hunter.
It makes Monday night’s matchup against New Orleans and Wednesday night’s matchup against the Warriors important, because those are two teams near the top of the standings. The Nuggets have figured out is they need to take care of business every night. They’re a tight-knit group and they understand what they’re facing. “I think we understand how good we are, and we understand the standard that we have to play at,” small forward said.
