I'd just watched some of Mudiay's highlights from the last few games when it dawned on me - I basically never hear anything, good or bad, about the Nugs. Is it just me or do other people feel this way?
They're not contenders (GSW, Cavs), a regular solid playoff seed (Hawks, Grizzlies), a historic franchise (Lakers, Celts), a bad team with potential (Pels, Timberwolves), notably bad (76ers) or a car-crash (Nets, Kings).
They're decent but not great, not controversial or divisive, have talented players but no transcendent ones - they just go about winning some and losing some very quietly. The only times I really hear about them are either to do with Melo's past or Denver's altitude.
Only other teams that I thought were similarly ignored were the Magic and the Hornets, but at least the Hornets have the MJ connection and the Magic were (semi-recent) finalists and now have got a bit more attention thanks to Gordon's dunk prowess.
Whatcha think?
