What are the takeaways from the team's performances? + Looking to the season ahead, Singer decides whether or not he's buying or selling a handful of potential storylines for the Nuggets. Among them: Denver Nuggets, top five defense? Nikola Jokic, triple-double season? Bruce Brown, closing out games? Zeke Nnaji, breakout season? The title window is wide open?
