Nuggets inconsistency

Night in and night out for the Denver Nuggets, the same team doesn't seem to be on the court. Even quarter to quarter this philosophy feels to be about right.

Denver scored 40 points in the opening period of their 116-115 win over the Detroit Pistons last night at the Pepsi Center. They were smooth, stroking and clicking on all cylinders. Then the next two quarters Ben Gordon almost stole the game back for the opposition.

Inconsistent. Temperamental. Even unstable.

The Nuggets don't have "Star" on their team; an advantage that their opponents cannot key on one player, but also a disadvantage in the same respect.

They can be as good as any team in the league, see March 4th when they beat the number-2 seeded (if the playoffs were to start today) San Antonio Spurs away from home. But they can also be on par with the worst teams in the league, see February 23 when they were blown out of the water by the same Spurs team in Pepsi Center.

On any given night a different team could take the floor, a good thing and a bad thing for Nuggets fans.
