Besides the Celtics, who i feel the entire national media is sleeping on. But that's fine. The team thrives as underdogs. We know this.
The national media is too busy drooling over the Heat and the Lakers to realize that there are teams out there who are going to make the playoffs really really tough for them.
Why is nobody talking about the Denver Nuggets? That team wasn't expected to do much last year but they ended up taking the Fakers to 7 games in a really hard fought series. Since then they've added one of the best perimeter defenders in the game. The Nuggets are on the upswing and in a big way, i like the comparisons they're drawing to the 04 pistons. No superstars but 5-6 really good players who all know their roles.
Lawson
Iguodala
Gallinari
Harrington
McGee
With Miller, Chandler, Faried, Randolph and Koufos off the bench.
i don't think they're in a position to win it all but they're a really tough match up for a lot of teams out West.
