The Nuggets lose to the Lakers as injuries and foul trouble lead Michael Malone to an all-bench lineup which gets destroyed. Matt doesn't think the starters played well, but they won their minutes, so what does that say? The bench unit has no flow, identity or connectivity, and that's a problem. Jokic is easing into the season and it's getting to be a problem on both ends. Jamal Murray flashes a bit of the old Blue Arrow and lapses let a bad offense get going.

A bad loss in a bad spot.
