After Game 1, it’s clear that the Denver Nuggets need to alter their gameplan in this series against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Denver Nuggets can’t afford to let the Los Angeles Clippers go up 2-0, as they’re a far different team than the Utah Jazz and have an army of exceptional defenders. There’s certainly far less of a likelihood that they’ll overcome a 3-1 deficit against the Clippers than the Jazz and if they go down 2-0, that’s a task that they’d likely have to face.

That said, there are a few key questions in regards to how the Nuggets can adjust to the Clippers in Game 2 after falling apart in Game 1, allowing Kawhi Leonard to dominate with ease.
