[Allanon]

Lakers in 4, maybe 5 games.

[Muser]

Nuggz in 7.

[dickface]

it's nothing personal but the Nuggets are the favorites in this series.

[ElNono]

Nuggets in 6...

[kamikazi_player]

Nuggets with Billips> Nuggets with Iverson
Nuggets in 6

[UrAphag]

Looks like the lakers are underdogs huh

[pauls931]

I wish Denver, but I say they just keep on splitting home games with LA taking game 7. Actually I don't have a clue since this will be the first team with any offensive firepower that LA faces in the playoffs.

[Hemotivo]

Pepitos en 5

[braeden0613]

Nuggets in 6 or 7

[Amaso]

Melo plays like a high schooler against the Lakers for some reason. Theres no speed on the Nuggets to exploit LA in the pick and roll. Lakers in 5.

[TampaDude]

Lakers are soft. Nuggets in 6. Book it.

[baseline bum]

LA in 6.

[kamikazi_player]

Looks like the lakers are underdogs huh
We just hate them.

[21_Blessings]

Lake Show in 5, possibly 6 due to a 'Denver sucks so bad we don't really care if we lose this game'.

[endrity]

In the playoffs it's all about matchups, and the Rox had two great defenders to throw at Kobe, the Nuggets have none; alright, Dahntay Jones is pretty good, but nowhere close to the other two.

In order for the Nuggets to win, Melo has to play like a top player in the league and Nene and KMart have to be better than their counterparts. We'll see.

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

Denver doesn't play D as well as Houston, so Lakers should win this in 5.

[E20]

I want the Lakers to win this one.

I also want the celtics to win against the magic.


damn Lebron takes down the celts and the lakers. lmao that would be sweet

Nuggets should employ the Suns strategy against Kobe let him get his but take out the other dudes. I think they can handle Gasol and Bynum with their bigs....
Birdman will outrebound them for instance.

Chauncey is going to destroy Fisher as well as the young PG's...
Frankly, Nuggets don't really need defense, they just have to match offense. Who's going to guard their weapons??
JR Smith?? Melo??
They don't have any defenders outside of half-assed Kobe...and manchild Bynum who has his head in the clouds for three quarters of the game.

[Ghazi]

Wow at the Denver kool aid people are drinking right now.

What did Denver do that was so impressive against Dallas?

Denver in 5

Yeah with that being said lakers win the series

[ElNono]

Chauncey knows how to beat Phil and Kobe. He's been there and done that.
Nuggz in 6.

[MarHill]

it's nothing personal but the Nuggets are the favorites in this series.

They shouldn't be.

I know how well they've played against New Orleans and Dallas...but both of those teams are nowhere near the Lakers.

The playoffs are about matchups...more than anything. The Nuggets like run up and down the court...well the Lakers like to run up and down the court as well. The Lakers do it better than anyone else in the league.

You have to beat the Lakers like the Celtics did last year and what the Rockets were able to do in the WC Semis.

The Nuggets will be physical.....but the Lakers size advantage will offset their physicality. Moreover, while Denver's defense is better...but it is nothing like Houston was (at home) and Cleveland's defense. They gave up over 110 points in the last two games against Dallas.

Also, I believe the Lakers will much more focused in this series than the WC Semis.

They know how well Denver has been playing and will bring it.

The Lakers in 6!

[iggypop123]

lakers in 6. fatigue will get the lakers in one road game then lakers close out in 6

[BlackSwordsMan]

Denver in 5

:toast

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

The Nuggets have played better in the playoffs, but they do not match up well with Kobe or Pau. They have no one that can guard those two players effectively which means they will need to constantly double team.That will be the Nuggets demise.

[rayray2k8]

Note to the lakers..
You're in for one bumpy ride.

[RedsLakers24]

Fisher will have an easier time with Chancey because he is a bigger and slower guard, Brooks was just too fast for Fisher

[Ghazi]

It's quite simple here

Denver isn't that good. I know bullshit basketball when I see it, and Denver plays bullshit basketball, not championship basketball.

They still waste a few possessions here and there with retarded shots, their defense fouls a lot and is overrated, and their front court depth and size are overrated.

Bynum will have a big series, as will Gasol. Odom is a wild card, he may go off too. Handling that front line is a tad different than handling Dampier. Denver does not have a true center and is going up against the best frontline in the NBA.

Billups is gonna cool off due to the law of averages. 51% from arc? Yeah right.

Melo will revert back to 40% playoff form due to the law of averages

Kobe is gonna have a big series

Denver cannot outscore Los Angeles 4/7 times. Not having home court hurts too.

[Bukefal]

I guess Denver in 6. Lakers have lost their motivation a bit and they are tired. Whereas Denver is on fire. Go Denver!

[sonic21]

kobe needs to play better for the lakers to have a chance

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yeah with that being said lakers win the series

It's wishful thinking on my part.... :lol

I think the Lakers CAN lose this series, if they put in an effort with their entitlement attitude.

I think Denver can have X-factors against your team though, moreso than Lakers can against Denver.

[JoeTait75]

Lake Show in six. I don't think Denver matches up very well.

[Flux451]

Buttnuggets in 6 baby!

(japanese accent translation needed)
Rakels ale going down!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Denver in 6

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lake Show in six. I don't think Denver matches up very well.
That's the key right there. Seems like everyone's looking past this point and concentrating solely on how Denver has played thus far compared to the Lakers. Denver does not have a defender that's even half as capable as Shane Battier at containing KB. The frontcourt is also a mismatch, Nene and K-mart are too undersized. To Denver's credit, they have a HUGE mismatch in their favor at PG...expect Chauncey to be the star of this series, win or lose.

[j-money24]

Sweet, i love being the underdog.

[Allanon]

Sweet, i love being the underdog.

Yup, I agree. Wins are so much greater when you're the underdog.

Lakers don't get the respect and will be going into their last two remaining series as underdogs. It's going to be a great year.

Lakers vs the World, bring it on.

[mojorizen7]

LAKERS in seven.
The NBA powers that be will never let the Finals matchup of the decade to get fouled up.

Lakers underdogs???!!! :lol

Everyone and their mother picked the Lakers to win the championship this year. If the Lakers aren't suddenly getting the respect, it's because of their inconsistent play & lack of focus against the Jazz & Rockets.....nothing more. Denver is getting a lot of props, understandly so, because they're playing well.....let the lakers go up 2-0 in the series and everyone will jump on their bandwagon again. I think everyone is waiting for the "championship" Laker team to show up.
Sorry, the "underdog" and "us against the world" mentality in their case doesn't work with me. :) But if playing the "get no respect" card gets them motivated, kudos to them....but it shouldn't be necessary with a team so deep & talented with a HOF coach and a HOF player in Kobe Bryant.

[mytespurs]

Lakers in 6

I don't think Denver has what it takes yet to beat the Lakers. And I think the 7 game series w/the Rockets may have put a bit of a scare into the Lakers.

[Allanon]

Lakers underdogs???!!! :lol

:rollin:lmao:rollin

In response to the "Nuggets in 6" vote above :)

[dirk4mvp]

With how soft the Lakers frontcourt is, the Nuggets match up very well.

Thugs in 6. And that's being generous. The Laker haven't shown anything this postseason that they won't get their asses kicked up and down the court by the Nuggets.

[MarHill]

They are soft but skilled and will have the height advantage over Martin and Nene.

Sorry.....it will be the Lakers in 6!

The Nuggets strength is the same the as the Lakers strength....up and down basketball! And the Lakers (I have to admit as a Spurs fan) do it better than any team in the league.

Also, the Nuggets' defense (while much better this season) is not a lockdown defense like the Celtics of last year or Houston in this series at home or the Spurs in their championship years.

And you have counter the Lakers offense with aggressive defense without fouling.

Moreover, the Lakers will be much more focused in this round against the Nuggets!

[David Bowie]

Nuggets in 6

They have the momentum

[Findog]

The Lakers are going to have a hard time winning one in Denver if they are inconsistent like they were against Houston. It has the feel of either Denver in 6 or LA in 7.

[bresilhac]

The Lakers struggled mightily against an outgunned, severely undermanned Houston team. And they took seven games to win the series. So why do so many people believe that they will even stand a chance against a much, much better, fully manned Denver team? Those that detract from the Nuggets accomplishments thus far should recall that this year's success has been predicated on excellent defense and the leadership of Chauncey Billups. Who is good defense personified.

This series will be more about momentum than matchups. The Lakers in this upcoming series will be matched up with a team as good if not better than themselves. This is when you'll see the weaknesses of the Lakers really start to show up. Superfluke Bynum will be a non-factor and Fisher will be tied up in knots by the play of Billups. The key to beating the Lakers is never to stop Bryant btw, but to shutdown the rest of the team defensively. But in the end the Nuggets current red hot momentum streak will carry them through to the Finals. Along with their stingy defense.

Nuggets in 5.

your argument is about as convincing as Dustin Diamond's acting

[noob cake]

Lakers in 6. Nuggets are severely overrated this season. Weak playoff opponents, weak season ending schedule.

Although I'll root for the Nuggets.

[Jacko]

Once again simple minded fans are picking the winner based on how the teams are playing at this very moment and completely ignoring the matchups themselves.

In the playoffs, matchups matter far more than how good/bad a team is playing IMHO.

HOU had the perfect combination of strengths to attack the Lakers. Lockdown defense, two of the best perimeter defenders in the league to throw at Kobe, and speedy PG's aplenty. DEN has none of those things. Their PG's are Billups and old ass Anthony Johnson. They have nobody who can seriously defend Kobe straight up. Their frontcourt also isn't very skilled outside of Nene and both K-Mart and Birdman are foulprone. Melo has always struggled against LAL as well for some reason. DEN is at their best when they play an up and down game, which ironically is when the Lakers are at their best. The Lakers do it better and they have HCA.

I think a lot of people will be surprised at how little the Lakers struggle against the Nuggets.

[bresilhac]

And that reply was about as weak and lame as Gasol's defense. Want to elaborate on my assessment further? On second thought, don't. Unsubstantiated negative comments by the likes of Laker fans are not welcome on this particular message board.

[iggypop123]

i wonder if the thuggets felt the earthquake?

[Def Rowe]

i wonder if the thuggets felt the earthquake?

That was weird. I didn't so much as feel it, I heard a low rumbling noise.

[IronMexican]

It all depends how Kobe plays. If Kobe plays team ball, I think LA wins this in 5. If Kobe tries to take over, this thing could go 7.

[IronMexican]

I felt the quake here pretty strong. I live right where it hit, right off the 105.

[poop]

when all's said and done, Chuck Norris will win.

[quickerblade]

Kobe is going to have a Sportcentre achievment award after this denver series, who will check him???? all the denver bigs will be in foul trouble by the 3rd quarter.

just tell me who is guarding kobe?

[timvp]

I really don't know how this will play out. It really depends on what Dahntay Jones can do on Kobe. If he can shut him down like he shut down CP3, the Nuggets would romp. But I doubt that happens.

Billups has also sucked in conference finals recently so that's another strike. The Lakers should win the series based on their homecourt advantage, their advantage in talent and the fact that the Nuggets are prone to a chemistry breakdown.

Game 1 will tell a lot of the story. If the Nuggets can get that game, the could keep their current role. But a Game 1 loss would start forcing the Nuggets to think and rely on cohesiveness ... which are their two weaknesses.

[resistanze]

Sad, but I see the Lakers rolling over the Nuggz in 5. They don't present a good matchup IMO. I'll gladly be proven wrong.

[BUMP]

RIP Denver you bunch of faggots

[Allanon]

Fisher will finally have a chance to earn his paycheck this series versus Mr. Bigshot.

Wish Philip had saved Fisher even more for this series.

Also, Bynum's going to be great in this series, bye bye Nene.

[DeadlyDynasty]

And that reply was about as weak and lame as Gasol's defense. Want to elaborate on my assessment further? On second thought, don't. Unsubstantiated negative comments by the likes of Laker fans are not welcome on this particular message board.
Your original post was so asinine in its logic that my previous response was all it warranted, but...ask and you shall receive.

-The only matchup you addressed was the PG position, which I agree, heavily favors Denver.
-You conveniently forgot that Denver's frontcourt is undersized against LA's...look at what Pau did to the Denver frontline last year (Billups doesn't affect that aspect, so it's a good reference to go to).
-Who in god's name is gonna guard KB? Do you have another Shane Battier and Ron Artest combo around? No, there is nothing even remotely close to those defenders.
-You alluded to Denver playing defense...wtf have you been watching? Care to explain that one?

It all comes down to motivation...if the Lakers play with purpose then they'll win--the mismatches almost exclusively favor them. Your argument is based in faulty logic and wishful thinking. Their (Denver's) momentum will carry them through? This is the pros, homes...that emotional shit is left at the door once a new series starts. Look at the 2005 Miami Heat. Started off 8-0, sweeping two garbage teams (kinda reminds you of a team playing now, doesn't it?), then getting beat by the Pistons 4-3.

Why does everyone hate on LeBron so? This guy is a talent, fun to watch and personable. He's only 24....his best years are probably ahead of him.

I hope there are championships in his future even if it's not in the cards this year.

I don't hate LeBron, he just happens to be in the way of the Lakers and their Championship.

I'll start giving LeBron his props after these Finals and then start talking shit about him once the Playoffs start up again next year :)

I think alot of the recent hate on LeBron is a result of his dance routines during games/pre-game pictures/sideline celebrations/Chosen1 tattoo...that kind of stuff.

I doubt we'll see much of that if we make the finals....unless they're blowing out the opponent :king

BTW, I wasn't referring to you per se regarding the hating on LeBron....I see many do it here as well...I was curious as to why........

[Phonzie20]

I really don't know how this will play out. It really depends on what Dahntay Jones can do on Kobe. If he can shut him down like he shut down CP3, the Nuggets would romp. But I doubt that happens.

Jones will not shut down Kobe. This whole forum knows that but he can get a bit under his skin. As he did with CP3. The problem is, Kobe feeds off that. It can go either way. DJ will have 6 fouls to give it ends up going that way.


Billups has also sucked in conference finals recently so that's another strike.

Different squad. Different options this time.


The Lakers should win the series based on their homecourt advantage, their advantage in talent and the fact that the Nuggets are prone to a chemistry breakdown.

I am very concerned about LA having homecourt which prob will be the nuggs nail in the coffin most likely. I'm not sure what you mean by chemistry issues though. I'm not seeing it. Not this season. Are you thinking of previous years?

Either way. Should be entertaining.

Just because you seem to be concerned : I've no problem to sleep at night.

Lakers / Cavs are the most likely finals, in that case there won't be any Stern doubt, for the league Kobe or Lebroon win is a good deal. Oh and BTW so far I think better teams earned their spot in the conference finals, not LA's fault if they played a rocket team w/o yao and mac.

Now I really hope to see two good series between the 4 teams at full strengh.

[Morg1411]

Nuggets have made the Denver homeboy in me proud this season, and I hope they can keep up their momentum.

I'll say Denver in 6 if they get on a good roll from the start. If they falter and let L.A. take over for more than about 2 quarters in the first 3 games, Denver will lose their heads, L.A. will get the momentum and take the series. That would blow, much as the Lakers blow. Go Nuggets!

Wow at the Denver kool aid people are drinking right now.

What did Denver do that was so impressive against Dallas?

Denver in 5


The Lakers struggled mightily against an outgunned, severely undermanned Houston team. And they took seven games to win the series. So why do so many people believe that they will even stand a chance against a much, much better, fully manned Denver team? Those that detract from the Nuggets accomplishments thus far should recall that this year's success has been predicated on excellent defense and the leadership of Chauncey Billups. Who is good defense personified.

This series will be more about momentum than matchups. The Lakers in this upcoming series will be matched up with a team as good if not better than themselves. This is when you'll see the weaknesses of the Lakers really start to show up. Superfluke Bynum will be a non-factor and Fisher will be tied up in knots by the play of Billups. The key to beating the Lakers is never to stop Bryant btw, but to shutdown the rest of the team defensively. But in the end the Nuggets current red hot momentum streak will carry them through to the Finals. Along with their stingy defense.

Nuggets in 6 or 7


Lakers are soft. Nuggets in 6. Book it.


Chauncey knows how to beat Phil and Kobe. He's been there and done that.
Nuggz in 6.


I guess Denver in 6. Lakers have lost their motivation a bit and they are tired. Whereas Denver is on fire. Go Denver!


Buttnuggets in 6 baby!

(japanese accent translation needed)
Rakels ale going down!


Denver in 6


With how soft the Lakers frontcourt is, the Nuggets match up very well.

Thugs in 6. And that's being generous. The Laker haven't shown anything this postseason that they won't get their asses kicked up and down the court by the Nuggets.


Nuggets in 6

They have the momentum


Outlaws in 6. F the Fakers.


Nuggets in 6 still...yeah I said it.

We don't FOLLOW anyone, douchebag. I said Nuggz in 7, and I still think they can win it in 7, though I think with that win in LA last night, it's probably a death blow. We're not bandwagon Laker fans that like to follow...we actually have our own minds down here. Just because 32 people on this whole freaking board of thousands thought LA would lose the series doesn't mean we follow each other. Don't be an idiot. I love how one day your team loses and you bash the shit out of them, and then they pull a game out, and all of a sudden they're gods again. Quit being a hypocrite.
