To me, beating the Nuggets showed they were legitimate title contenders.
That's one match up. A contender needs be able to able to show their credentials against other types of contenders. I'm very proud of our Denver series win, but it's a match up I had sense of belief in past years due to our unique match up with them.
Contender for me meaning having very high chance cot a title. And our limited offense didn't give me that belief despite all around awesome season. Fact of matter is we have only one true offensive weapon, and people forget he is still in his rookie contract. Moment might been too soon for him yet. But he and the team still have time to learn from this and adjust for future.
I honestly don't give a **** about learning from losing or moral victories. The only thing we learn from losing is how to lose. I'm hoping we can pull out the miraculous comeback. We could have easily won those first three games.
