Maybe it's just me, but I think I'm starting to see a trend... I know others have pointed it out, but I thought a visual aid would be helpful:
After that thrilling Cavs game (an epic duel between two of the best players alive... it just doesn't get any better), the Nuggets are:
- 12-7 (.632) against sub-.500 teams;
- 24-11 (.686) against .500+ teams;
- 13-5 (.722) against the rest of the Top 10 in the standings;
- 6-1 (.857) against the rest of the Top 5; and, of course,
- 5-0 (1.000) against the other three Conference Finalists from last year.
