The Denver Nuggets are 4-0 coming off a win over the Sacramento Kings, only a few days removed from knocking off the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

We’re only 4 games into the season, but the Denver Nuggets have played the offense we expected and the defense is so far much improved. What’s Driving this thing? What should we be wary of?

Nikola Jokic has been a superstar just as the Nuggets fans as well as the brass hoped he would be.

Paul Millsap has been a real leader and brought his all star experience to the court with this Nuggets team. What he may be lacking early on in shooting/scoring he has far made up for with his defense and clutch leadership when it’s been required.

Jamal Murray may be taking that step forward here against the Kings as he showed the ability to just create his own shot in dare I say ” Steph Curry manner” at times taking the Kings to task draining back to back threes and drawing a foul on his next attempt.

The Nuggets have been absolutely exceptional thus far. Gary Harris has been in his own quiet way been the every night, the outstanding player he’s become(One of the NBA’s best 2 way guards in my opinion).

The team really hasn’t had anyone disappoint in the first four games. That said, the offensive rebounds given up to the Kings and the foul trouble the Nuggets core saw in the first half of this game are cause for concern against the Western Conference elite as they could be game crucial.

Breezing to a win over the Kings is what is supposed to happen to a true Western contender, but there are things showing up that may lose the Nuggets games against those Western contenders.

The injury to Will Barton has been mostly obscured by good performances from Juancho and Torrey Craig, but the fact remains the Nuggets lack that dynamic extra scorer until Isaiah Thomas returns.

The Nuggets however seem to be un-phased by who is on the court they are playing winning basketball every night.
