4. Denver Nuggets (37-15)
The Denver Nuggets aren’t fading. I repeat, the Nuggets are still tied with the Warriors at the top of the Western Conference. Considering the expectations before the season, that’s quite impressive.
The real question surrounding this Denver team is whether or not they can translate their superb play from the regular season into the playoffs. And that’s not a certainty. As we’ve seen over the course of the NBA before, there are many teams that dominate the regular season, but simply don’t have the DNA to translate it to the post-season.
Will this Nuggets team be the next team added to that list?
