Not basing anything off last game as it’s obviously very early in the season and both teams were missing key players. But regardless i think there’s a pretty good chance this might end up the wcf this year? So how many games do you think this series would go and who would win?

Obviously as a homer i want to pick the warriors but i do still favour the nuggets winning in a 7 game series however I wouldn’t be to surprised f the warriors could pull it off. What do you guys think?

    What leads you to believe the warriors have a good chance? Denver has a size advantage on most teams, most especially GS. Nuggets in 5

    Dubs have the flexibility, experience and tools to compete against the Nuggets’ size, scoring dynamics and Jokic. I think a series match-up between them is really a toss up

      Based on one playoff run? They’re a great team but let’s not pretend they didn’t face a bunch of injured teams on that run, Minnesota, Phoenix, and Miami all had major players missing. Not saying their run is flukey and undeserved as every title winner gets some type of luck. Good on them for winning last year but everyone acting like they’re now an unbeatable juggernaut after one title run is a little premature in my opinion.

    It would be a 6-7 game series for sure. Now that there’s no more Poole to bleed points i’m gonna lean Warriors. These other comments saying sweep are wild, you’d think a team that has won 4 of the last 9 chips would get a little more respect than a team that has only won one.

    Regardless, whether you’re a warriors or nuggets fan, let’s just agree both are way better than the Suns 🤝

    Jamal Murrays absence leaves a very obvious hole in the Nuggets right now. Thety are still a good team but you don’t lose a 20 ppg 8 assist guy who is the guy who can make tough shots and create for himself and not degrade quite a bit. NUggets fans can see the difference. It is now Jokic trying to carry the load. Good game last night.But it was not a game you can analyze the matchup from. I fill it would be a great series but I think Nuggets are still the best team in the West when fully healthy. However Warriors are defintelly a contender this season.

    I know the Warriors lost yesterday, but in a series, I think they got that shit on lock. Every warrior not named Steph clanked every fucking shot from 3 and I would assume Draymond wouldn’t let Gordon get a billion rebounds which was the primary reason they even lost yesterday.

    You know your paint presence is weak as fuck when Levon Looney is playmaking like CP3 in the paint. They had some really striking defensive collapses last night, and in a 7 game series, I believe Kerr would be able to capitalize on that.

    I honestly think Denver. If you don’t best Denver without Jamal (with all your stars playing), I struggle to see how you beat Denver, 4 times with Jamal playing.

    I don’t see Denver sweeping them but I do see Denver in 6.
