Denver Nuggets and Carmelo will win Northwest
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
And he shall come from the East and lead them…
Denver is all set up to win the Northwest.
Think about this division. Greg Oden is out for the season at Portland and they let their other big man, Zach Randolph, go to the Knicks.
Seattle is playing for the future with young Rookie of the Year front runner Kevin Durant. They are young and inexperienced.
The Timberwolves are starting the Al Jefferson show and have yet to move up town with their supporting cast of castaways.
This leaves only Utah. Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur present a solid core, but an unhappy Kirilenko really hurts them.
Carmelo is set to lead the Nuggets out of the Northwest.
He’s not the all-around threat James is, but he does exude greatness, able to put the ball in the basket as well as anyone in the game. All that has been missing are key ingredients like maturity and help. He feels he has both now. Excuses are out the window.
CBSSports.com believes in Anthony and the Nuggets, predicting they’ll overcome Utah in the Northwest Division. If they fail, it had better be a result of the scenario Karl believes possible, where Utah simply outperforms them and wins more than 60 games. That’s unlikely, but if it happens, Denver has every right to shake off the disappointment and feel good about its season. source
Introducing the Champions of the Northwest to be, the Denver Nuggets with an aging but still hungry Allen Iverson, a shoot happy Carmelo, a block happy Camby, and perhaps the key in Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon is coming off microfracture surgery and a lot depends on his recovery. Without Kenyon Martin they are not a very tough team on the offensive blocks.
Camby is counted on more for defense. Did you know he was the defensive player of the year? Came as a shock to me.
It appears any kind of chemistry on offense between The Truth and Melo should produce close to 50 victories and be good enough to win the division.
Hard to believe they have the horses to march through the playoffs, but we believed that about Cleveland and LeBron last year.
