Prior to Melo's injury (in other words, when the Nuggets essentially have fielded the team they are going to war with down the stretch), they were
.600 6-4 against the top 9 teams in the NBA.
.400 6-9 against the middle 9 teams in the NBA.
.800 12-3 against the bottom 11 teams.
We're not saying toughness isn't a problem, but we are saying maybe actually paying attention is. The spread is essentially the same on the road as it was at home - all the percentages just drop a bit.
They win against good teams and bad teams, but against mediocre teams they are less than .500.
So is it when they go against a good team, they try, when they go against a bad team, they can't help but win, but those middle teams that they aren't pumped up for, not so much?
And now they're in 9th.

I agree with the focus part. But remember that we still have Nene and Atkins coming back. Our best low-post inside threat and legitimate rebounder as well as a proven shooter.
The coach should be the one pumping the team up before EVERY game; not just against the big teams. George Karl seems to be an issue
