I believe the Lakers have lost something like seven straight to the Nuggets. How many more times do the Nuggets have to beat the Lakers to convince that the two teams are on different levels? Just amazing to me how some people still buy in to the Lakers. If the Lakers were defending champs, had swept the Nuggets in the playoffs the year before, swept the Nuggets again in the regular season, and the Lakers were demonstrably better all season, would anyone be saying "Geez, the Lakers might have some trouble with the Nuggets?" Crazy how the Lakers continue to be treated like they are anything other than a mediocre NBA team.
The Nugs are 4-0 this year against the Warriors. The Warriors may not even make the play-in.
The Clippers have hit a wall, and will never believe that any team with James Harden as key cog will win a tightly contested playoff series against a great team,
The Suns have had success against the Nugs, but they are so inconsistent and shocker... Bradley Beal is always hurt.
T-Wolves are interesting, but will take the Nuggets over the T-wolves on the court and on the bench.
Nugs will roll (unless injuries take them down).
