NBA Power Rankings: Battle for seeding priority of OKC Thunder and peers
73. . 46-22. Previous: 5th. Denver Nuggets. 4. team
Every time it seems like the Nuggets magic season might be losing some of its luster the club fins a way to recapture the shimmer of the season. That happened this past week as Denver took care of business via a winning week of 3-0.
Still with four (yes FOUR) back to back sets remaining the Nuggets path to finish the season sure won’t come easily. While the bottom seeds in both conferences remain in question arguably the biggest question entering the playoffs is who will capture the West’s top seed. Moreover, with their brutal closing schedule could they be in jeopardy of losing the second seed too?
