I dont think Denver will be ready for the playoffs.
They dont do the little things well, they are built to be a great regular season team but imo they will be exposed in the playoffs. should be a pretty fun series regardless but NO in 5
Well?

BUMP, you're better than that.
A lot is going to rest on Chandler's health (if he's grounded no more alley-oops from CP3 which has been their bread and butter) and the backup PG play from the Hornet's bench, which has been spotty in my opinion without Pargo.
Denver is scary from the standpoint they have a crafty defensive stopper at the rim in Anderson and finally have some veteran PG play in Billups who knows when to take a game over if things get out of hand as things have in recent history with the version of the Nuggets even more undisciplined than this team. On top of that, NeNe is ready to go this year.
New Orleans is ing terrible. Probably the 15th best team in the league.
I will be shocked if the Nuggets lose this series, I expect them to roll in 5.
When I look at this series, I look at the battle of the little guys, the point guards.
You have arguably the best point guard in the game in Chris Paul, and old reliable, Finals MVP, Chauncey Billups.
The x-factor in this series is Tyson Chandler. When healthy he can be a force. If I'm Chris Paul I just lob it up at the rim and say "Go get it big fella!"
Denver sure is loaded on the offensive end, but if I'm New Orleans, I have a superstar in Chris Paul. We're not scared of the Denver Nuggets.

I disagree Mark, Chris Paul might be the only good thing about the Hornets right now. It's not a one man team, just ask Kobe. There's a reason why the Hornets are in the 7th seed.
New Orleans can't beat Denver, but I think either SA or Dallas will knock them out of the second round.
Denver in 6.
Paul, though a wit and a flopper, is also phenomenal player, and West is a killer when his game is on, but to say that the rest of the Hornets roster has failed to step up this season is an understatement.
There's no question that Denver has stumbled out of the Playoffs in years past, but with any luck Billups' stabilizing presence will help them roll over a slumping New Orleans squad. Melo, Nene, Smith and the Birdman have also been playing well as of late.
It comes down to a battle of inconsistency. Both Denver and New Orleans have had highly inconsistent seasons, but right now Denver looks like they have their together a lot better than NO does.
Denver will pull out in this one. Then they can lose to the Spurs in the semi-finals.
Spurs don't have enough fire power to beat Denver. Losing Manu was tremendous.
With the Royals pounding the Rangers 12-3, I'm not thinking too much about the series yet. I'm sure it will change Sunday night even though I'm working the night shift.
nope, the spurs don't have, but boys in blue do.
Yeah, I forgot you the Mavs swept Denver 4-0.
Nobody cares son. God bless!
This might be the best series of the 1st round. I think both teams know that if Dallas somehow knocks out the Spurs, then whoever wins NO/Den basically has a wide open door to the WCF.
Denver has one foot on the floor and the other in Cancun
Oh COME on.
1-7 during the season against both teams.
Meh
We did hand Denver an easy win when we sat our big 3 in the last game we played against them. And they almost blew it. The thing is, I honestly believe Karl s on his pants when he sees Pop.
To be honest, unless JR scores 11 treys in a row, NO is winning that series.
great argument.
I think SA has a decent chance against either team. Dallas, not so much. Especially if Chandler is back for the Hornets.
If Peja is hitting his treys and Chandler is back in shape I don't think we have enough. So I really want Denver to win, I just don't think they can pull it off.
BTW, the Mavs
