Who is more likely to choke in the playoffs: the Boston Celtics or Denver Nuggets? Both ball clubs stumbled a bit partway through the stretch run, and neither team has broken through to win a title in their current contention windows, their inexperience perhaps as formidable of an obstacle to hanging a banner as any opponent they might encounter.
Though it is true that the Celtics have made several deep playoff runs, they have yet to seal the deal, and while the Nuggets may lack the same amount of deep postseason runs Boston has put together in recent seasons, they have also been the more stable team this season.
