Don't know if any of you caught PTI today but they had Barkley on for the 5 good minutes segment and while talking about the K-Mart fine Chuck said that he thought the Nuggets would beat the Lakers/Rockets winner AND the Cavs and that they were his pick to go all the way.  It's crazy how all the national guys are jumping on the Nuggets bandwagon right now.  A few weeks ago most of them (including Charles if I remember correctly) thought that the Blazers were the only team in the West that could possibly beat the Lakers and that the Nuggets were a hot mess that probably wouldn't even get past the first round. 

Not sure that I'm that confident yet, but I just thought it was funny.  Anyway, go Nuggets tonight, go!
