After writing my Best in the West article yesterday, I immediately began to contemplate about the Denver Nuggets and their entire off-season in perspective. While major trades and signings have taken place not only within their Conference, but amongst their division as well, the Denver Nuggets organization have insisted on calmly sitting back in recline and crossing their legs on top of the table.
Flashing back to last season, the Denver Nuggets ended the year with a Division best, 54-28 record, finishing the season as the two seed upon entering the playoffs. The Nuggets shocked many fans, surpassing both New Orleans and Dallas, and advancing to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 24 years (1985-lost to LA in 5 games).
