The unachievable 8-seed

For some reason, the Denver Nuggets feel like they need to just give the 8-seed to the Golden State Warriors.  The Nuggets put together a good run, moved ahead of the Warriors for the final playoff spot, and then ran into the immovable wall of......the Sacramento Kings?  Sooooo they lost to the lottery-bound Kings, but that was alright because they were about to visit the Seattle Supersonics, who they had already crushed three times this season, so what do they do?  They lose?  Again!!!  Luckily, despite Denver's determination to give up the final playoff spot, Golden State hasn't been doing so well either, so as of right now, the two teams are tied for the 8-spot and meet Thursday in a game that may as well decide who will be staying home for the playoffs.
