So, I have hope right now. It's 15 minutes to tip off and I have hope in my team. I am not expecting the Nuggets to win (see post below), but I have hope that they can. Why? I don't know. I think it's blind optimism but the story is too good. A team coached by a guy who came back from cancer endures the spite and scorn of his star player. Star player gets shipped out along with the town hero. A rag tag group of non-superstars comes together and makes a nice run to make the playoffs...until they run into KD and muppeteers (Russell Westbrook looks like a Muppet to me). That Kevin Durant, so hot right now. This is the team to beat in the playoffs. They have the youth and experience to make a deep run and dethrone the Lakers. The Nuggets stand no chance, especially down 3-0. They win one. Nice win, but it says nothing. They steal the next one. People start paying attention, until, they blow them out in game 6 at home. Now, all eyes are on this team.
What will they do? Will they overcome the odds and become the first team to win a series after being down 3-0? Did the 1994 Nuggets have a shot against the Sonics (and the Thunder's franchise started where?)? No 8 seed had ever beaten a 1 seed...and Dikembe shocked a George Karl coached team in the first round to make history. History awaits this team. It starts tonight. The story needs to be written.
