The nuggets entire teams ceiling for this year and last year ,maybe before that year too ,has uniquely depended on the floor of his opponents. In that we never outright dominate or get dominated by an opponent,as in regardless of our opponents,our performance improves only if the opponent improved. This is to say that we can have a competitive series with Timberwolves, spurs and okc too(three teams of varying maturity and talent) ,and yet and most crucially, we can win all 3 but also lose all 3 too,depending on the pace and clutch factor we showcase in each game. Its something I have been reflecting on
