Two-time NBA champion and former Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had some surprising thoughts about the club's first round series victory over the Los Angeles Lakers back in April.
The Nuggets, then the defending champions, dispatched the Lakers in five games, ending Los Angeles's postseason for the second straight year. But Caldwell-Pope, during an episode of The Draymond Green Show that aired Wednesday, explained that the Nuggets expended much of their energy on securing the top seed in the Western Conference, then shared that doing so made Denver feel like "the Lakers should have beat us."
