On this week’s episode of The Big Number, Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine dive into the stats and make bold predictions about the Denver Nuggets.

For starters, Tom is very concerned about how bad the Denver offense has been with Russell Westbrook on the floor. He’s starting to worry about their ability to make the playoffs this year.

Tom compares Westbrook to other similar guards at 35 to show how unique he is to still be playing in the NBA at this age, while Dan points out that the Nuggets have bigger problems in their starting lineup.

Dan came up with a statistic of his own, showing that Westbrook might finally lose enough of his signature burst and athleticism to become a problem. Meanwhile, Tom worries whether the Nuggets have a way to get back into contention if their highest-paid players don’t play better.

Finally, just like last week, the boys close the show by taking sides on some fun over/unders.
