TBD

The Denver ‘Fools Gold’ Nuggets are 20 and 9 right now which puts them on pace to win upwards of 50 games and a great seed in the playoffs.

They have a number of quality wins thus far. They beat Kobe and already anointed champions of the world Lakers by 26. They went on the road and beat the bat swatting San Antonio Spurs with ease. And just last night they beat up the rising Atlanta Hawks by 20 without all-pro leader Chauncey.

But do they have what it takes to win it all? In one word. . . Eh.

When the Nugs do loss it gets ugly, fast. Of their 9 total losses this season, 7 of them have come to teams under 500. Not only this but when the sweet Rocky Mountain air they can’t find a rhythm, they’re 7-8 on the road. They’ve lost to the Paper Clips (Clippers) and the T for Terrible T-Wolves.

Do the Nuggets have the pieces to win a Championship? Oh yeah. Can they win a Championship? Duh. But will they find a way to be consistent enough to win a Championship? TBD.
