Denver is better than last year, and so are we!
So we should all be happy.
Knicks were built to win now, and denver wasn't according to most evaluations preseason.
For a team that is not built to "win now" they sure are doing a good job!
So really what is the bar for them?
Is it so bad to have a great regular season? Seems the folks in OK have enjoyed the ride.
Rebuild, then compete, then make playoffs, then get to finals.
Were are they in Denver? I think a bit ahead fo the schedule.
personally I don't think they are true contenders in the west given the teams they have to face.
KNicks would be a 6th seed out west. About 2.3 games from the 5th. If we had to play some of those teams 4x it could be worse.
IM not saying Denver better than us, their record is.
As a 6th seed do I think we'd make it out of the first round out west? Not likley. As a 2-3 seed in the east the expectation is better.
One and done in the east is not like one and done in the west. Their 4 vs 5 is not like our 4 vs. 5!
