(#11) Nuggets - (#3) Warriors Series

I'm still disappointed the Suns lost in the first round. Even without the Chuckster (my all-time favorite player) I thought they could still take out the Nuggets. Alas, it was not to be. (And then the Sixers had to lose, so this tournament is now completely Barkley-less... sigh...) Anyway, let's see if the Nuggets can continue their amazing scoring output against Wilt Chamberlain & The 1950-1975 NBA All-Stars (also known as the "Ultimate Warriors.")

Wilt Chamberlain (Ultimate Warriors)

Damn, the Nuggets can score. They really let this series get away from them though. All they had to do was close out the Warriors at home in Game 6 and Wilt just came in and dominated instead. We've got an awesome big man matchup next round though with Wilt taking on Tim Duncan and David Robinson.
