I definitely wouldn't throw out the word great but our inconsistency shows most on the road. At home, run and gun ball can work when the crowd can sustain a tempo for you. On the road when the shots don't fall in our offense, we seem to pick one guy at a time to "bail" us out. If he's having a bad game then we just simply won't win. We aren't gonna hold teams under 100 in their own building so 1-2-3-even 4 guys need to be hot to get it done. Blame GK, Blame everybody besides Aaron Afflalo's defense. Not to mention we're so busy trying to keep Melo happy that there's nights he'll run us into the ground.

But other than that,

we're great

Because we're not a great team.

the Nugget's chemistry issues shine threw when they are on the road, at home it is easier to play together when the crowd is backing you, on the road they do not even seem to try to play together.

Looking at the Nuggets roster they have 2 of the top 5 players in the league in 2 postions
(1) Melo and (2) Nene. One of the leagues top defenders Afflalo and fire power off the bench Ty and Jr. Smith. And now Billups is knocking down his shot. It may not be a championship roster... but that is still a great roster to me.

Plus, Chauncey who knows how to win on the road games because the Pistons could go into any arena (they always had trouble in Utah though) and win games. The Pistons won 64 games in 2005-2006 seasons, thats why I'm disappointed in Chauncey. He knows how to win on the road, hell he won a gold metal in Turkey.

I hope the Nuggets will improve on the road. I was watching a couple of games and GK didn't call time outs when the other teams went on a run. But I don't know if that lost the games.

Once again to win on the road you have to play as a team, something the starters on this team seem to be struggling with.

Low effort level.
At home, the crowd can energize the players at some point through the game, but on the road that doesn't happen.
I'm especially disappointed with Kenyon Martin, who is someone who can give the team a lot of energy and passion but has been playing like he doesn't really care since he's back. That's characteristic for the whole team.

Lately the bench has been playing poorly as well so we have no chance out their.
