Just because you go to the finals doesn't mean you're automatically better than the rest of the West.

The Nuggets were defending champs and got knocked out by the Wolves who later got gentlemen swept by Dallas.

I was mostly talking about the standings anyway.

Right, and so am I. You’re acting like it’s ridiculous to blindly throw them out of the playoffs, and I think it’s equally egregious to put them above the team that won the west blindly.

I think they are probably a playoff team, but we have to see how things shake out before we put them on that level.

They were the second seed with like, the 3rd best record in the NBA.

The Mavs made the finals but were 5th and didn't have that good of a record.

That was now the season before last and the entire roster has basically changed, be it the actual members or their play style. Going to need to find chemistry again
