3 early red flags the Denver Nuggets can't ignore | Shapiro and Piro

The Denver Nuggets’ start to the season has raised early concerns, and three red flags stand out after the first six games. Shapiro and Piro break down why Nikola Jokic hasn’t looked like his usual MVP self, Aaron Gordon’s up-and-down play and the gap between Denver’s 3-point production and what opponents are getting from beyond the arc. Shapiro and AP discuss what’s behind each issue, how much it should worry fans and whether these problems can be fixed. Is this just a slow start, or are there bigger issues the Nuggets can’t ignore?
