Throughout the past couple of years, no one has really taken the Denver Nuggets seriously. When one sees their records, it is easy to see why.
This is somewhat sad considering the Nuggets used to be a permanent fixture in the playoffs, but all that crumbled when Golden State sent them into rebuild mode. This season seems to be a different story.
Despite still having a losing record, the Nuggets find themselves competing for a playoff spot. This is a testament to both the Western Conference becoming less competitive, thanks to Kevin Durant, and the Nuggets assembling a respectable squad.
