Right now they are 11 teams in the West that have as many wins we have. Making the Playoffs is going to be really hard because of injuries but I am hoping we get a pick between 9 to 12.
This roster isn't even as good as the one that year too......yeah with the same squad that couldn't hold a 20 point lead for 10 minutes

Nuggets look pretty damn good. Their guards might score 200 points on the Mills/Forbes tandem.
both are way better than the Spurs ...
Nuggets>Blazers.
Jokic looks like he's a legitimately great player, their core is very young and have progressed much more than last year.
Blazers are just bad, they depend too much on Lillard/CJ, they also look very sloppy, need a change of coach. I see so many guys on that team take poor shots and make repeated mistakes, they can win a good amount of regular season games but just don't have it overall.
Spurs would struggle big time with the Nuggets, but Blazers, they're capable of beating.
Bump. Call me crazy but still not sold on the Nuggets.
Nuggets are winning with injuries to key players like Gary Harris and Paul Milsap. (I’m not going to count Isaiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr). They’re a really good team.
Do you watch any of their games? I haven't. I'm going solely off of reputation here.

I think the Nuggets have a lot of depth (result of drafting in the lottery, even the lower part of the lottery). They may have just the one true star, but their roleplayers are really good and if one gets injured another one steps right up. The regular season is a marathon, not a sprint, and that is really where team depth matters. The shallow teams can't really handle an injury to a starter without tumbling. It will be interesting to see them in the playoffs though, it would be the first time for this group.
I hope you’re not going by records when you say that though. I’m not sure why people automatically think mediocre records mean teams are bad. It just means the teams are more even in level now. Means almost any team can now win/lose on any given night. I thought that parity was what most nba fans wanted? Unless you have a different observation?
Nuggets are good. The big man troubles GSW, they have strong perimeter bodies as seen working all game on Kawawa yesty, they have shooters that can splash you from the riverbank. Harris is out and I rate him very high. I don’t think they’ll go missing come post season.
Blazers, not so certain. I was disappointed last season.
**heads up - anyone with DirecTV - there is a few more days of NBA league pass free preview right now **
Happened to catch last nights Nuggets/Raptors game -
Nuggets impressed.
Raps were playing great D, Kawhi was beasting (that piece of )
and the Raps had a solid 8-12 pt lead for much of the game - but the Nuggets hung in - just stayed within reach -
then the al ude and their crowd and their athleticism got em over the hump and they wore out the Raptors.
Unfortunately Kawhitter didn't have his thigh explode into bits - but it was satisfying watching the Nuggets beat them
Nuggets are for real and will be a problem for any team. They might still come down to earth a little but they were battling and they have a few athletes on their team that give teams headaches.
Nikola whatever his name is just competent enough to keep them within reach in any game.
Oh one last thing...
Kawhi
I really like Jokic. He has a great post game and plays like an old school big. You can't put an undersized big on him and expect to get away with it. I saw one possession where the Raptors switched Kawhi on him and he went to work backing Kawhi down underneath the basket for the easy bucket.
“ that piece of ” has me dying bro
