Being a Nuggets fan is rough. Growing up in Colorado, the Nuggets always played second fiddle to the wildly popular and successful Denver Broncos. And I grew up watching this seemingly permanent underdog team battle the rest of the league and consistently fail to achieve, or even come close, to the greatness of the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls of that era. 

But I always rooted them on, even with that never-ending underdog status that comes from having never even made it out of the first round of the playoffs in 25 years. 

This season is different. Still with that underdog status, the Denver Nuggets have managed to hang tough with a heavily-favored LA Lakers team that has been to a whopping 29 Finals, compared to 0 for Denver. 

Maybe it’s a Carmelo Anthony, maybe it’s the Pepsi Center, maybe it’s all the tats, but this team has given longtime Nuggets fans like myself something we’ve never really had, hope.

Go Nuggets, here’s hoping (and strongly predicting) this great series is heading to a Game 7.

Keep this miracle alive!
