The Nuggets have surprised me. I expected them to improve, but not this much. Nuggets to the playoffs!
Well, there's not much to say. Everyone thought the Nuggs would struggle, but just not as much as last year. And now they're not, and they've surprised everyone with their tenacity and hustle, and a killer fast break. Good off-season acquisitions, Melo is da man, Boykins is da lil man, and everyone else is doing their best to rack up the wins in Nugtown. What else is there to say? I see them as being very similar to the Warriors last season, who had little vet leadership but pushed all year long and scared people come playoff-qualification time. That will be this year's Nuggets.
