This Nuggets team is at a peaking performance for the playoffs. Joker amazingly continues to perfect his game at age 28 he continues to get better. Porter Jr., KCP, Bruce Brown, and Alex Gordon all seem comfortable in their roles. Jamal Murray is back into his top form. The club played some of the best defense of the season in game 6 - with just two turnovers in the first three quarters. Green has his moments and Christian Braun is growing into a valuable player off the bench.
With all that - the Nuggets still don't have a physical matchup answer for Anthoney Davis or Lebron James. I still have nightmares from AD's performance in the bubble. The Nuggets are going to have to collapse on AD and James like they did on Booker and KD - giving them 4-6 hands to have to shot through or pass through every time they enter the paint.
I was surprised to see the Nuggets as the betting favorite, but home court advantage probably is a big thing in the Nugs favor.
