Gross is the only word that comes to mind, describing the Denver Nuggets 1-6 start to the 2014-15′ season. Denver is coming off arguably their most embarrassing loss of the season, falling to the Portland Trailblazers at home, 130-113. Not to mention, Portland was coming off a back-to-back where they won by just two points the following night. Denver looks to rebound on the road against the Indianapolis Pacers tonight.
