The Nuggets have been an up and down team so far, which means the chemistry between the team is still a work in progress.

The Denver Nuggets still look as if they are trying to find a nice chemistry between each other.

This was to be expected with the addition of Paul Millsap in the off season and the insertion of Wilson Chandler into the starting rotation. However, many feel as if they should already be meshing together and it is starting to get frustrating for many to watch this team find it’s niche as the season progresses. So, why is the team still trying to find it’s team chemistry?

Well, for starters, the season is still young and the coach is still toying with different rotations and combinations to see what works best. Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap have already found a nice mix between each other and seem to share the touches nicely, but the others still have a ways to go to figure out how to coexist with the rest of the team.

The team hasn’t been terrible as they have had some terrific games, but they still have yet to string solid games together on a consistent basis. Much like last year, the team has started off the season very up and down, win one, lose one and repeat.

Denver should be able to eventually turn it around and start living up to the potential and expectations NBA fans had for them this season. They have too much talent to not be a better team last year with the young Nikola Jokic, the veteran star Paul Millsap and the ever improving Gary Harris who just earned a four year contract extension.

Next: Denver should trade Chandler instead of Faried

The team chemistry is still a work in progress, but the Nuggets should eventually figure things out.
