6:12 With that logic, using history as your backbone, the Nuggets dispatched of the T-Wolves last year in 5; did the same to the Lakers in a sweep; and beat the Suns in 6 (5 if not for the otherworldly performance KD and Book put on). Denver’s would not be sweating to beat these potential matchups, but they’d have to play them hard and well.

Hi Guys love the show, Nick still believe in the Lakers, they are inconsistent I don't believe they will win against the Nuggets. And if they got to play agains the Thunder, the Lakers will lose, sorry :). Dallas have a chance to make it to the Western Conference Finals but I think the Nuggets will get to the NBA finals. In the east I don't think that the sixers will get to the Conference Finals after the Injury I don't think Embid is can play the playoff at the same level. Wiles is right in the NBA the team that is more consistent is the one that will win. My NBA finals is Nuggets VS Celtics and Nuggets win it in 6. Saludos desde Mexico. Brou in Basketball is the man, Nick in NFL rules and Wiles just keep it both on earth jejejejejejej.
