As the NBA season finishes up, the Denver Nuggets are looking to grab the number one spot in the Western Conference.

We all know how tough the Western Conference is this year, as it’s probably the best conference in American sports history. The Denver Nuggets have completely exceeded expectations though, jumping out to a high seed and clinching a playoff spot. They will most likely get an opening round playoff series at home, which will be extremely beneficial for one of the best home teams in the NBA. It’s still very possible for the Nuggets to sneak in and grab the number one seed from the Golden State Warriors.

So who does Denver not want to see in the opening round of the playoffs? When it comes to the first round, there are a number of teams that the Nuggets could get in the Pepsi Center, and there are some teams that match up more favorably than others. That’s what I will be discussing today, as I mention two teams that the Nuggets do not want in the first round.

With all that being said, let’s go!
