The Denver Nuggets are one of the few teams who match up well with the defending champs on paper.
It is no secret by now the Golden State Warriors are most likely going to win the NBA Finals again this coming season. With DeMarcus Cousins coming onto their roster, it is pretty much a lock at this point.
