The 2024/25 NBA season has started with some positive surprises, like the 3 wins by Los Angeles Lakers, and with some negatives. The initial performance of Denver Nuggets is in this category.
The Colorado franchise has lost their first two games of the season, showing signs of poor team play. Things are not going well for Nikola Jokic's team, and the signing of Russell Westbrook is once again putting the spotlight on the point guard in his new home.
Jokic, however, is as consistent as ever. In his latest game, the loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, he scored 41 points, but it wasn't enough. With 28.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.5 assists in the first 2 games, the Serbian is the only bright spot for the Nuggets.
Westbrook's performance was a nightmare. The 2017 MVP scored only 2 points in 19 minutes played, both from the free-throw line. He went 0/8 on field goals and 0/3 on threes. For now, the Nuggets are winless.
