You can look at the Nuggets through different lenses … but the fact is this: When Denver’s four horsemen are all in the starting lineup (Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Kenyon Martin and Nene), the Nuggets are an astounding 27-6. That’s an .818 winning percentage.
If that was Denver’s overall winning percentage, that would be best in the NBA. Right now, Denver is 37-19 overall with a .661 winning percentage, which is fourth-best in the league, trailing Cleveland (43-14, .754), the Los Angeles Lakers (42-14, .750) and Orlando (38-19, .667).
Yes, injuries are part of the game, and the fact is, the Lakers have won at times without Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant.
But that 27-6 by Denver is pretty jaw-dropping.
