The most intriguing first round playoff series, comes out of the Western Conference. #4 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. #5 Denver Nuggets. Oklahoma City is lead by young guns Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Since the Nuggets parted ways with Carmelo Anthony, they added more talent and overall team depth. Denver doesn't have a player better than Durant or Westbrook, however they are two deep at every position. They have guys like J.R Smith who can score, Danilo Gallinari that can shoot the three, guys who can score on the low post in Nene, Kenyon Martin who can finish in transition and Birdman Anderson that can rebound. Among other players like Ty Lawson, Wilson Chandler and company. Also what will make this series interesting, their is no love lost between the teams. Their is a strong chance Denver could take this series to seven games and win.
