The Denver Nuggets played championship basketball against a championship team, for a quarter. They won the battle. But they lost the war.

It was an easy game to watch, and a hard game to watch.

There was a first half and there was a second half.

Ultimately, the Spurs showed why they were the superior team. This is one of, if not the most disciplined team in the league. Denver continues to show signs of falling out of the playoff picture before the All-Star break even gets here.

This needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

What can we learn from playing this excellent championship caliber team?
