I am starting to become a believer in the Denver Nuggets. They are already up 2-0 against New Orleans, whom I thought was the third best team in the west. I was glad to see Utah at least take a game from the Lakers. I'm still pulling for the Portland Trail Blazers, but I doubt they can even get past the Houston Rockets not to mention the Nuggets or Lakers. And the Cavs have a cake walk to the finals in the east of course, but I question whether they can beat either the Nuggets or the Lakers.
