Nuggets Or Warriors?

i hope both will make the playoffs and lakers will miss it.of course i hate lakers...

I am in complete agreement but unless the Warriors step it up with Cap'n Jack and Beans out I expect it to be the Nuggets. (Though the Nuggets have an ugly March ahead of them too.)

Your not alone Buddy

Nuggets r just to good talentwise to not make it. But to be honest i think the warriors will have a better record

[dockingsched]

how are the nuggets too good talent wise? the season is more than 50 games in and right now their out looking in.

Warriors will only be without Jackson and Biedrins a short time - Jack will be back tomorrow and Biedrins within a week or so - and they'll be playing some lesser teams during that stretch.

I would say Warriors are more consistent than Denver. Except for about three games since the first seven without Jack, they've beaten the teams they're "supposed" to beat - plus some they're not supposed to, like LA, Boston, New Orleans, and Phoenix, and have had the best record in all of the West.

Their biggest problem is playing up and down to the competition. They need their backs to the wall to really play well - but that shouldn't be a problem in the playoff drive and in the playoffs.

Assuming they get in, they could either get knocked out in the first round, or conceivably advance to the WCF... potentially good matchups could be Dallas, Phoenix, and possibly Houston; bad matchups definitely Utah and LA, and probably San Antonio, although the Warriors have played well against them lately.

Denver has a lot of talent, but they seem to be just that - a lot of good players, thrown together, but who don't complement eachother well to bring the team to a level higher than its component parts.

Tonight Denver plays Detroit. I wouldn't at all be surprised if tomorrow night, Warriors are in in 8th and a full game up on Denver.

It's sad that a team with three all-star caliber players can't make the playoffs, while a (essentially) 3-man team in the warriors is surpassing them. The Nuggets are the ultimate example that star power doesn't equal success.

The Nuggets. I think they'll make a late season push like they always do.

[Alex_De_Large]

the nuggets have 2 big names and a big underrated defender, but the warrios have better coach, better franchise player, and better team overall.

baron davis > allen iverson.
