The team also has been playing short-handed, as Wilson Chandler has been out with hamstring trouble and Danilo Gallinari is recovering from a torn ACL.

"It's a process. I've said that all along," Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw told the team's official website. "We'll take our lumps while we try to get through this process. Hopefully not too much longer, but it's a process. We're learning. We just have to steadily improve on a daily basis."

San Antonio is coming off a loss on Saturday to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Duncan said given the team's experience it realizes bad nights are going to happen.

"We're gonna win games and we're gonna lose games. It's just how it goes," Duncan said. "We're gonna use the entire 82 games to put a team together and have everybody on the same page once the playoffs start. We're not going to freak out about it."
