San Antonio Spurs with little to do in the background
Spurs is going through complications, since last season they have not been able to get out of the bottom of the West, this season they had the task of delivering a better result at the end of the season, the team brought one of the best prospects in the NBA and was expected to be able to start competing for a place in the standings, maybe things did not go quite right and now they are very close to repeat the previous season, Spurs in the current season is not able to connect positive results and it is very likely that these will not come, the team is now focused on finishing the training of their players, as it is clear that Spurs is working on the future of the team.
Denver Nuggets continues to dominate
Nuggets is fulfilling to be the current NBA champion and the most dominant in the West since last season, this team has been doing things very well for some years now, but for some reason had not been able to be solid in Playoffs, it was in the previous season where the team showed what they learned from their mistakes and could play in the finals, there they won a very valuable title, Now as the current NBA reigning champion, no less is expected from this team, having a very powerful roster, Denver leads the West, but its leadership is not yet assured, at the end of the regular season, the West can change leader in the blink of an eye, although Nuggets is the favorite to take the first place, they still have to give their best to secure it in the following weeks and start the Playoffs with rhythm.
