While the ultimate result may not matter all that much to Nikola Jokicu0301's legacy, the coming week is undoubtedly one of the biggest in Denver Nuggets franchise history. Knotted up in a 2-2 series with the juggernaut Oklahoma City Thunder, the underdog Nuggets are playing with house money. When the dust settles, no one really expects them to win and advance to this year's Western Conference Finals, but it sure seems like they have a decent chance of doing so.
One of their biggest X-factors (catalysts?) in potentially pulling off the monumental upset is the chaotic but energetic Russell Westbrook.
