Golden State Warriors

Nuggets Record vs. Warriors: 1-2

Nobody wants to face the Warriors. Nobody has wanted to play the Warriors for four years now. Just about everybody expects Golden State to win its third straight title — and fourth in five years, and it’s honestly hard to make a case against it.

The Nuggets topped Golden State at Pepsi Center in just their third game of the season, but since then the Warriors have won two fairly easily.

With Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, Golden State has two of the top five players in the league. And with Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins and Draymond Green rounding out their starting lineup, they’re one of the more talented teams in NBA history.

The two have one matchup remaining — and it will go a long way in deciding the Western Conference.

April 2 the two square off at Oracle Arena — and the winner will be in the driver’s seat out West.
