The Nuggets most difficult series last year was the first round matchup vs Minnesota, and they were without Ant. They could very well win it all this year.

They had Ant, but they were without McDaniels (who broke his hand punching a wall) and Naz Reid who had a wrist injury.
All these players are marvelous to watch, but Ant and Jokic are especially so.
It irks me when people who pay no attention to pro ball disparage it by saying no even tries until the last two minutes and that there is no defense. They have no idea what they are talking about. Watch the defense in any of these playoff games (or the Wolves all season long). It is intense and fierce. And watch someone like Joel Embiid, all 7 foot and 280 pounds of him, playing with a torn meniscus in one leg and a calf injury on the other diving flat out and leaving skin on the hard floor to try get a loose ball, and then try convince yourself that they don't care and just want the bucks. Once that whistle blows, they are ballers playing flat out for pride, team, for all they are worth (which, granted, is an incredible amount, but that's all forgotten when the whistle blows...)
Ok, maybe not all of them all the time, but most of them most of the time for all they worth giving all they have. In all pro sports. Once the game is on, they are on. Old vets become young stallions again.
