The Denver Nuggets now occupy the number two (2) spot in the ESPN Power Rankings, second only to the surprising Atlanta Hawks.

Thoughts? Observations?

Personally, I think the Nuggets are ranked a little too high. I would rank us fourth or fifth in the league until we have some more solid wins against contenders NOT on the second night of a back to back. I understand that every team runs into buzzsaws like that and the winners play through it, but I really would like to see Denver's front line compete against one like the Magic's or Boston's and come away with a W before I am ready to tell them they're a number 2.

Everything else seems pretty gravy.
