But that role has been diminished this season, largely because the Nuggets have been far healthier. During Denver’s first 32 games, Morris averaged just 17.6 minutes, down from the 24 per game he saw last season. Morris has never complained about the reduction in playing time, but a rhythm was hard to find. He began second-guessing himself. “I feel like I’m my biggest opponent,” Morris said. “I can get down on myself if I miss a couple shots. When I make shots, I actually feel good about myself. I feel like I’m my own — I stop myself, you know what I’m saying? Going forward, I’ve just got to come out with the same urgency and same intensity and bring it every night.”
