After all the drama which surfaced after the Jusuf Nurkic trade, to say the Blazers and Nuggets dislike each other would be the understatement of the year. After the heated race for the final playoff spot, many fans of the two teams were engaged in multiple arguments along with some heated trash talk.
To top it all off, Jusuf Nurkic made a dig at the Nuggets on twitter during the NBA Awards when Charles Barkley laughed at Denver fans who thought the team would make the post season. Let us just say this, this did nothing but add fuel to the fire of the Northwest Division rivalry.
