The easiest championship in history. Last season, Nuggets won the championship. No team with 50 wins met

In the 2022-2023 season, Denver went all the way to win the first championship in the team's history, and Jokic also won the FMVP.

It is worth mentioning that last season, because of the Black 6 and Black 7 miracles in the west and the Black 8 miracles in the east, the Nuggets did not encounter any team with 50 wins in the whole process of winning the championship.

The first round is against the 8th Timberwolves in the western region, 42 wins; The second round is against the fourth sun in the west, 45 wins; The West Division won 43 games against the 7th Lakers in the West; The finals were 44 wins against the 8th Heat in the East.

The whole process of winning the championship did not encounter a 50 win team. It should be the first time in NBA history (except for the shrinking season).

Of course, there is another more interesting data. As of the first round of 2023-2024 season, Jokic's team record is 0-4 when he meets more than 50 opponents in the playoffs. Jokic has played five playoffs, winning the championship once, being out four times, and losing all four times to the 50 win team.

When the playoffs meet opponents below 50 wins, the team's record is 9-0, and it has never lost, including completing a big reversal when 1-3 falls behind twice.

In the whole 21st century, in addition to the shrinking season, the closest to Denver is probably the Warriors in the 17-18 season and the Heat in the 12-13 season.

In the 17-18 season, the Warriors defeated the San Antonio Spurs (47 wins), the Pelican (48 wins), the Blazers (49 wins) and the Cavaliers (50 wins).

The Heat beat 38 Bucks, 45 Bulls, 49 Pacers and 58 Spurs in the 12-13 season.

In addition, they have beaten at least two 50 win teams, three teams and even four teams.

The Lakers in the 2009-10 season were the only team in the 21st century to win the championship by defeating four 50 win teams. They defeated the Thunder in the first round, the Jazz in the second round, the Suns in the west, and the Celtics in the finals. The number of 50 victorious teams defeated this season is just as many as the number of 50 victorious teams defeated by the three Heat giants in four seasons.

In the 2008-09 season, the Lakers also defeated three 50+teams. During the two consecutive championships, the worst opponent of the Lakers was also the 48 win Jazz. I have to say that at that time, the West was indeed balanced, and it was difficult to break out of the West.

At that time, there was still a big gap between the East and the West. For example, in the 2013-2014 season, the first opponent of the Western champion Spurs was the Mavericks, with a record of 49-33, while the first opponent of the Eastern champion Pacers was the Hawks, 38-44. The West began to consume from the first round, while the first round of the East seemed to be training.

The Heat rushed out of the east to defeat only the 43 victorious Hornets, 44 victorious Nets and 56 victorious Pacers, while the Spurs rushed out of the west to defeat the 49 victorious Mavericks, 54 victorious Blazers and 59 victorious Thunder. Only by the number of wins, the Spurs' opponents won 19 more games than the Heat's opponents.

Back to Denver, according to this record, Denver was unlucky in the second round, because the number of wins of the Timberwolves exceeded 50. Jokic has never won a team with 50 wins at present. If he can defeat the Timberwolves, he will be the first team with 50 wins.

The Nuggets lost the first two home games, which seemed to suit the occasion. However, in the last two away games, Denver won again, and both sides returned to the same running line. However, according to the laws of history, the Timberwolves are more likely to advance.
