no I would still put the Mavs ahead of them and probably the Suns too.
Denver will be a force though.
In terms of getting that le?
If the gel are they better than the Mavs and Suns?

DEN will become a funny team to watch, not as much as PHX, and not as much effective as MAVs.
For me this makes denver a huge threat
two superstars + a good frontcourt= trouble
This is getting insane! I mean you have the Mavs and the Suns, of course (and Houston if they are healthy), but add to the fact that the Lakers and Jazz are tearing it up, you can consider those rivalries as revived. And now the Nuggets are up there too?
One thing's for sure, the Western Confernce bracket is gonna be super tough come May (or even April!).
I forsee the Finals as a sweep with an average margin of vicrtory of 35 points per game...
Nuggets are a 50 win team with Iverson and Melo. Not as good as a healthy Houston team.
Agree the West is just too loaded...sux to be the ninth team in the West. NBA needs to expand the western playoff bracket..maybe send a few Atlantic Div teams to the NBDL.This is getting insane!

Houston? Houston are garbage. T-mac is never healthly and all they have is Yao.
They don't have enough around them to compete.
You have to think, barring some unforeseen catastrophe, the top six teams in the West are known (SA, Dallas, Phoenix, Utah, Denver, Lakers) with only the order to be determined. And if Houston survives however long T-Mac is out, that makes seven. So only one spot is left for grabs between everyone else, with probably Memphis and Seattle effectively out of it (although still with a shot).
Crap.
The Nuggets will probably need some "gel" time, however, I think the Nuggets will improve by 5 wins and more importantly, be a beast in the playoffs. Two supreme iso options, now.
you ought to just worry about your own team and stop sounding like a
If they can stay healthy, maybe.
My list goes in this order.
Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, Utah Denver, LA.
no, they aren't. Dallas still exist.
The Mavs eliminated the Spurs last playoffs and have gotten a little better. No way the Spurs could even think about any other team but the Mavs being their main rival. Having said that, this is the NBA and these are professional athletes, so when the playoffs start, you take it one series at a time and respect your opponent. Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, they're all damn good. But Dallas will be the toughest of all come playoff time.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out in Denver at the very least.
It's too soon to say but they are really good on the paper with :
- Two of the best offensive players in the league (melo and AI)
- A good shooter who will be often wide open (JR Smith)
- A strong and solid big men rotation (Nene, najera, Evans) around one of the best defensive big man in the league (Camby)
- A player who cna scored points from the bench (Boykins)
- Two young players who can help a little (Diawara and Kleiza)
- A good coach
It's scary.
Until proven otherwise, the Mavs are the team to beat in the West. But throwing Iverson into Denver's lineup will be interesting. If Iverson truly is happy in Denver and respects Carmelo's offensive game, then boy would I love to see a Dallas v Denver playoff series, which the Mavs would win. But it would still be fun! Thenn hopefully the victor would be tired and have to face San Antono. ha ha ha
The key will be keeping Camby healthy. If he's healthy in the playoffs then the Nuggets will be tough.
Yet they can't control themselves and have been known to slap their opponents like little girls (last saturday, also 05 playoffs).
If anything it means the playoffs will be a nasty dogfight for one conference and a sea of soft lillypads for the other.
that's what some ppl said about the Rockets before the season started
Exactly.
