The Nuggets haven’t lost a regular-season home game to Miami in nine years.

“What you put on tape is what people are used to,” Nuggets coach David Adelman said. “It’s human instinct to be that way.”

He’s the lead singer who can’t always hit the high notes anymore, but keeps firing anyway. Russell Westbrook might be the most perfectly average player for whom, among fans, there’s almost no middle ground anymore.

Russell Westbrook’s departure from Denver was not Russell Westbrook’s choice, he says.

The Nuggets won twice on Monday: on the scoreboard and in the minutes column of their box score.

When it comes to Nikola Jokic’s rotations, David Adelman is already trying it all.
