Denver had a chance last season with some injuries, like they lost to blazers in the end but if they beat blazers and than warriors had injures one series earlier than they could have won that series, very difficult and almost impossible but it was at least a bit possible.
If I remember correctly, Denver Nuggets already won in series against a healthy GSW at that time.
It is GSW have a weakness with the Nuggets team and the same thing happened when Nuggets faced the Trail Blazers.
They do not have the same chance this season because now there is parity in the league like never was, a lot of great teams, Houston with Westbrook and harden, Lakers with Lebron and AD, clippers with PG13 and Kawhi, Warriors with Curry and Klay, Spurs with Derozan and LMA. I mean there must be other teams I am forgetting and that is just west side, not even mentioning teams from east because they are not going to finals anyway. I think Denver should keep focusing on improving their guys and implementing their system further with players that will be better, doing some trades or signing FA during off-season.
I would not side on that. As I said earlier here, this powerhouse teams that are being created do not have chemistry. (also might be the reason why they did not join the FIBA world cup USA team.) To somehow create some chemistry even with just a small amount of time.
On the other hand, Nuggets already have it and now needs to strengthen it.
Same goes for Portland, the duo there have the best chemistry ever even though both are doing isolation plays.
