Phillies Should Stay With Youth Movement

Those are not Christmas carolers outside Ball Arena. Those are alarms blaring. Worried yet? Join the club. The Nuggets are Van Halen without David Lee Roth or Motley Crue sans Vince Neil. Something is missing. Three-point shooting is the easy answer. The Nuggets are 2-15 when they make fewer than seven 3s, which most teams fall out of bed and convert in the current NBA. They don’t shoot enough 3s, they don’t make enough 3s, and they don’t defend players shooting 3s. Nikola Jokic is having a season that conjures images of Wilt Chamberlain, inching him into the conversation of a top-10 all-time player, and the Nuggets are flirting with a .500 record.

Sean Payton didn’t listen to the critics in 2006 when he inherited a Saints team that went 3-13 the previous year and then led them to an NFC title game.

Injuries have been not just a nagging theme but a destabilizing epidemic on the Nuggets’ frontcourt depth chart since the first game of Summer League this year, when first-round draft pick DaRon Holmes II tore his Achilles tendon. In a heartbeat, one potential solution to Nikola Jokic’s rest minutes was done for the year.
