The Denver Nuggets have been a revelation in the NBA playoffs. While they have slayed during the regular seasons in the past two years, not a lot were convinced that they are a legitimate title contender.
Long before Mike D’Antoni populiarized the “7 seconds or less” offensive system, Moe already advocated a run-and-gun brand of basketball which ran almost no plays, relied on ball movement, screens, and cuts, and had his team shoot before the defense could set up. The Nuggets still had Issel serving as the veteran frontline presence plus a future all star, Lafayette “Fat” Lever, to complement English and Natt.
In an interview in 2006, English looked back on the series and said: “I think that if I had not broken my thumb, we had a chance to beat the Lakers.”It would take the Nuggets another 24 years to get to the Western Conference finals and they did it with two All-Stars again leading the charge, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups.
The Nuggets maintained their sharp form in the playoffs by waylaying the Charlotte Hornets in the first round and the Dallas Mavericks in the semis.
