LOS ANGELES — A postseason without LeBron James?
That wouldn’t bother the Nuggets in the least.
As the Nuggets traverse their own difficult schedule en route to their first playoff appearance since 2013, Denver wouldn’t mind if James, the author of eight consecutive NBA Finals appearances, was left on the outside looking in.
“It’s shocking to see that,” Nuggets veteran Paul Millsap said. “LeBron’s always been a guy who gets in the playoffs. That’s where he makes his name. To see it, it’s a little shocking. To me, I don’t care. Tonight hopefully we get out there, stick a fork in him, and they’ll be done.
