Denver is a shell of itself defensively. I've seen way too many games this year where they get lit the f*ck up and can't stop anybody.
This isn't anywhere close to the team from few years ago.
Yup and they weren't even great on defense in their title year; they were 11th in defense but rated 3rd in offense. This year they're actually #2 in offense... but #23rd defensively.
Last year they were 8th in defense and 7th on offense, and lost to a MIN team that was 1st (DEF) and 11th (OFF).
With how volatile Murray and Porter can be, it can get ugly for them with no defense to rely on.
