When Phoenix acquired Kevin Durant at the trade deadline the Suns vaulted to the role of favorite to win the Western Conference. The move kicked Denver down the board despite it having the best record and the top seed in the West. Now, the two teams meet in the conference semifinals, where the Nuggets find themselves as underdogs.
It is not a shock that the market would make Phoenix the favorite here, but the Suns are not this perfect team most believe them to be. Many in Denver have been shouting about the disrespect the Nuggets have faced since the Durant acquisition, and those who believe that may be right when it comes to this series.
