Five Reasons Why Nuggets Will Get Into Playoffs
The Denver Nuggets have been a solid force throughout the course of the post-Carmelo Anthony era, and they will be making the playoffs this year. There are several reasons for this, starting of course with their high-powered offense. All year long, the Nuggets have been near or at the top of the charts with regards to points per game and offensive efficiency. Secondly, not only are they scoring more points than most teams out there, they’re also shooting the ball well, living in the high forties in field goal percentage, topping the league.Want more?

Beyond offensive prowess, the third reason that these young Nuggets will make the playoffs is just that: their youthful exuberance. In the trade for Carmelo Anthony, Denver picked up some talented and versatile young assets, and when combining that with their rookie Kenneth Faried who has been stepping up and dominating the boards lately, you have a youth movement on your hands. Fourth, Danilo Gallinari has taken his place as a strong leader of this team, hitting big shots when necessary. And finally, you can’t go wrong with veteran George Karl at the helm; the man is a machine, and will continue to push his team forward.
