Playoff time is drawing near, and 6.5 games separate nine teams in the western conference. I am going to talk a little bit about each of these teams and their chances on making the playoffs.
#9 The Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have been as high as the fourth team in the West, but all the other teams have gotten better and they haven’t, making them worse. The Nuggets are coming off of three straight losses and four of their last five, including Chicago and Milwaukee. Denver needs to get a little defense put together or they will not make the playoffs. They have allowed over 100 points in every game in the last six except for Detroit. I see Denver in the number 8 seed come playoff time, but they have to get it together real quick if they want to see some playing time come late April.
