Denver Nuggets (39-18)
The Denver Nuggets have surprised the masses this season and have taken the Western Conference by storm. The fact that they’ve been on a tear for pretty much the entire season, despite battling the injury bug early on in the year, is quite impressive
The big question, of course, is whether or not they’ll be able to translate their regular season success into the playoffs. But, especially for a team like the Nuggets, that doesn’t generally have these types of seasons, that’s good problem to have.
As the playoffs begin in a couple of months the Nuggets are going to be one team that many casual fans will be introduced to. And with the way they play, I don’t think anyone will have a problem with that. Could they be a real threat to the Warriors in a seven-game series, though?
