I heard a stat the other day which said that every top seed out West has lost at least around 4 games each to teams with losing records this season. The Nuggets are definitely included in that.

Maybe there’s just more parity this year and less truly awful teams. Even a team like the Warriors still has players like Russell and Draymond, and a team like the Grizzlies still has Ja Morant who can win a game by himself. Cleveland has Kevin Love. Etc. There’s maybe a couple teams out there that are truly pitiful. The rest still have a shot in most games. It’s an interesting year. Much better product, though.
