The Denver Nuggets were recently apart of a 15-game winning streak, but received little attention for it being that it was overshadowed by the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak.
Still, for a team with the NBA's fourth best record this season, the Nuggets have flown mainly under the radar this season, but guard Ty Lawson may have just stirred some controversy with his latest statement.
Lawson boldly vowed that the Nuggets (50-24) "can get to the NBA Finals" and win, even if their going up against the defending champion Miami Heat, according to Fox Sports.
"I think so,'' Lawson said when asked if the Nuggets could beat the Heat for the title. "They beat us twice early in the year when we weren't really in sync. We were still trying to find ourselves. So I feel like if we play them now it would be a better game and we could actually beat them.''
Lawson went on to explain the importance of Denver's teamwork as being the deciding factor should the two teams actually meet in the Finals.
"Teamwork, and we could throw a lot of people at LeBron (James) and (Dwyane Wade), and not just one person,'' Lawson said. "We can throw (Andre) Iguodala and (Danilo Gallinari) and Corey Brewer and Wilson (Chandler). You can throw so many people at (them). And then we have so many weapons.''
Lawson also credits the fact that the team has flown so low under the radar as being an attribute to their success. As of now the only teams with better records are the Heat (58-15) in the Eastern Conference and San Antonio Spurs (55-18) and Oklahoma City Thunder (54-20) in the Western Conference.
"I like being under the radar,'' Lawson said. "I like being the underdog. It's been like that since I got here (in 2009).''
