Lesson #5: The Gameflow

The Nuggets were able to score 108 points in their road win in Calgary. While still the preseason, the scoring is exciting.

They are also able to get 12 players in double-digit minutes. With key contributors from over 8 players, the Nuggets will still be looking for the best lineup to start the season with.

But there could be a problem. The spacing. The spacing on the court with Nurkic, Jokic, Gallinari, Harris, and Mudiay. There is so much front court pressure that it may be difficult for Gallinari to post up.

As the games continue, it will be needed to revisit how the game flows and how the lineups work.
