Why are you surprised? The Nuggets got a ridiculous amount of talent in return for Carmelo. The amount of depth on that team is ridiculous. Lawson, Felton, J.R., Afflalo, Chandler, Gallo, Kenyon, Harrington, Nene, Mozgov...
Just wait until they trade Felton in the off-season and get someone good to play their PF position, which is really the only position they suck in with Kenyon and Harrington.

lol, the bottom 4 teams in the Western conference playoffs are all going to get swept. The Nuggets, Hornets, Blazers, and Grizzlies don't stand even the slightest chance against the Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Thunder...
For the first time since the Jordan era, the East playoffs are going to be more exciting than the West.
The 1 Vs. 8 match-up in the West is going to suck no matter what since the Pacers/Bobcats are just horrible and seem like they are fighting each other to NOT make the playoffs...the 2 Vs. 7 could actually end up being a pretty decent match-up as Philly has really turned it on as of late and they match up especially well against the Celtics. They have played 3 games against the Celtics, beating them earlier this week, and losing to them by 2 points, and 4 points earlier this year. While the Celtics/Bulls will come away with that series, it will still be an interesting series to watch.
After that, anything goes. New York Vs. Miami, ATL Vs. Orlando. Both should be very exciting series.
