Game 6: Lakers @ Nuggets

[IronMexican]

Lakers need to close this shit out on Friday.





Drive for 15

[greenroom]

Won't happen Denver and the "refs" will make sure this goes back to LA.

[lebomb]

Denver will win game 6, but will have their ASSED KICKED BY BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS IN GAME 7 BACK IN LA.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

C'mon Lakers let's finish the thuggetz on Friday.

[samikeyp]

Denver will get game 6 but it won't matter because they cannot beat LA in a game 7.

[iggypop123]

im sure it will be bavetta and that probably means its over for the lakers its a game 7 time. might even have mauer again. then its a blowout

[IronMexican]

Biggity, biggity, BUMP. Game day manana. Hopefully the Lakers can advance, so they have 6 days off to rest.

[baseline bum]

LA by 15. Never bet on George Karl and Kenyon Martin in a big game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lakers in 7

[TheNextGen]

refs give it to nugz, then refs give it to lakers at 7

[Allanon]

It's been fun Nuggets, but sayonara.

Lakers finish off the Nuggets Friday and rest up for the ECF winner. Hopefully the Cavs, in Game 7.

[KSeal]

Lakers haven't shown me anything to lead me to believe they'll win this type of game so I'm expecting a loss. Now would be a nice time to step up though I believe this thing is going seven.

[Texas_Ranger]

Lakers by 20!

[KSeal]

Lakers by 20!

Stop with the reverse of what you want to happen/jinx crap!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Stop with the reverse of what you want to happen/jinx crap!!!!

I don't want to jinx them, but I really want to see them win tonight, cause I can't stand K-Mart!! :bang

[KidCongo]

Lakers got this.

[KSeal]

I don't want to jinx them, but I really want to see them win tonight, cause I can't stand K-Mart!! :bang

Oh, my bad, well hating K-Mart isn't hard to believe but I would have thought you hated the Lakers more :lol

Sadly, we'll most likely be seeing JR Smith draining threes and doing chicken dances late in the forth with K-Mart thugging it up all night long.

[me15lo]

It's been fun Nuggets, but sayonara.

Lakers finish off the Nuggets Friday and rest up for the ECF winner. Hopefully the Cavs, in Game 7.

u got the sig ready? :lol

[sonic21]

go nuggets!!
i won't be able to watch this game, so i'm hoping for a game 7.

[TheManFromAcme]

If the Lakers aren't going to win this tonight they better be careful and at least keep it close. A blow-out by Denver will carry over to the next game regardless if it's at Staples. You really can't factor HCA with game 7's especially if the previous game was won outright. Player persona speaking, a team like Denver has the potential of "tuning-out HCA crowds. I really want to see the Lakeshow close this out. They need to.

Word to the wise :hat

[iggypop123]

bad news laker fans. refs got this. bunch of homer refs. we are going back to LA

Joey Crawford Home Team W/L 47-21
Mike Callahan Home Team W/L 38-26
Mark Wunderlich Home Team W/L 46-31

[Amaso]

Joey Crawford Home Team W/L 47-21
Mike Callahan Home Team W/L 38-26
Mark Wunderlich Home Team W/L 46-31

That's actually not a bad group. Joey Crawford is definitely a homer ref, but he is the only ref that gives Kobe any kind of respect. And the other 2 aren't that "homerish" statistically.

[z0sa]

denver wins this series in 7.

[Ditty]

Lakers will win this series in 7

;)

[Morg1411]

Denver tonight by 15+. Take it in 7. Lakers are too fucking lazy to deserve the win in this series.

[KSeal]

Denver tonight by 15+. Take it in 7. Lakers are too fucking lazy to deserve the win in this series.

How have the Lakers been at all lazy in this series?!?! They've fought hard in every game except maybe game four and even that game was competitive most of the way, Denver just ran up the score late. Denver has just played better for a lot of this series cause they're a good team. Give Denver some fucking credit, don't just act like the Lakers don't try whenever they don't win, that's bullshit. They are extremely guilty of that for a few quarters against Houston but other then that I don't think they've been "lazy" at all.

[sonic21]

Game 5 was an anomaly for the lakers, everybody got involved and Kobe only had 13 shots.

[DrHouse]

Game 5 was an anomaly for the lakers, everybody got involved and Kobe only had 13 shots.

No the Lakers made a concerted effort to take what the DEN defense was giving them instead of letting Kobe force the issue. And it worked pretty good.

Switch to decaf. Jesus.

Denver IS a good team, but they're also wildly inconsistent, even when playing well. And, from what I've seen, L.A. has only been fully showing up for about every other game. The combination has kept this series tight. When L.A. fully shows up -- like in Game 5 -- Denver has to play a near perfect game. When L.A. plays like shit, Denver is guaranteed to dominate.

I think the Lakers have been lazy not just this series, but for the most of the playoffs. I despise the Lakers in any case, so fuck 'em. I hope Denver mops the floor with them tonight.

+1

[TampaDude]

The Nuggets will win easily tonight, but the Lakers will win Game 7 back in LA, book it. :toast

[DPG21920]

Well the Lakers have the talent, that is for sure, but this would be a good time to try an right the ship. Lakers need to come out guns blazing and put the Nuggets away. Lakers have not really done that all playoffs, so who knows.

[Banzai]

I'm not expecting much from tonight...though if the Lakers win I would be happy.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

[Allanon]

Good night Nuggets.

[bostonguy]

I hope the Lakers close out this series tonight. I am really pulling for them to win it all.

[DPG21920]

I hope the Lakers close out this series tonight. I am really pulling for them to win it all.

:lol

[kamikazi_player]

Lakers will lose this game by double digits today and win back at home by double digits.

[greenroom]

Good night Nuggets.

The Lakers are going to bed early?? I understand that they will not win tonight. ANd if game 7 is called even I have a feeling that they will be staying home instead of moving on to the NBA Finals.

[bostonguy]

:lol

I know. A Celts fan rooting for the Lakers? WTF has this world come to? I despise the Cavs. I respect Orlando but the only way I am rooting for them is if they make it to the finals and play Denver.

[redzero]

Lamar's red ass Polo is screwing up my tv screen.

[KSeal]

Lamar's red ass Polo is screwing up my tv screen.

:rollin Lamar is the :bking of style :king

[Allanon]

Man, it's hard to hate on Nene...he's had some tough times and seems cool enough.

[Spur-Addict]

That's right George, lets get it going.

[KSeal]

Alright LA lets not get down 17-2 within the first three minutes like the last game 6.

[Spur-Addict]

Damn, the intro made me want to suit up.

[Allanon]

Damn, the intro made me want to suit up.

Serious shit, that was intense.

Now I realize how lacking the Laker intro is. :lol

[sprrs]

Damn, the intro made me want to suit up.

That was a pretty sweet intro.

[Libri]

Ariza 3.

[Allanon]

Whomever wins, whatever.

Just hope the Refs let them play a bit more today...too many damn whistles (both sides).

[Libri]

offensive foul on Ariza

[Jacko]

Lakers are going to have to win this game in spite of Derek Fisher.

He literally spots DEN about 5-10 pts a game with his horrific play. Why he sees a single minute on the floor is beyond me. He is the single worst starting PG left in the playoffs.

[Spur-Addict]

Serious shit, that was intense.

Now I realize how lacking the Laker intro is. :lol

I've never heard the Laker intro. What is it like?

[Bob Lanier]

Wtf?

[Libri]

Lets see if the Nuggets figured out the triangle offense. :lol

[Jacko]

If the Lakers lose tonight it will be BECAUSE OF DEREK FUCKING FISHER.

He has blown two defensive assignments in a row that led to two straight 3pt makes by DEN.

DEREK FISHER IS THE WORST PLAYER ON THE MOTHERFUCKING FLOOR. GET THIS PIECE OF TRASH THE FUCK OFF THE FLOOR NOW. GOD DAMN IT PHIL WHAT THE FUCK IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO TAKE THIS SHIT PLAYER OFF THE FUCKING FLOOR. YOU FUCKING RETARD.

[redzero]

This is going to be like Game 6 against Utah.

[Allanon]

I've never heard the Laker intro. What is it like?

It's pretty boring. Lawrence Tanner (the longtime Laker announcer) is an older guy so he doesn't ever get all hyped up.

He's really mellow, even in-game...not much excitement but he has a real clear deep voice.

[ballhog]

Denver going to make Ariza beat them.

[Capt Bringdown]

Denver looks dead.

[Allanon]

That Ariza plan doesn't seem to be working. I suspect they'll change up the plan.

[Jacko]

Derek Fisher is shit.

If the Lakers had a half decent PG this wouldn't even be a series.

[ballhog]

Has the game started?

[Libri]

stupid pass by Carter

[ballhog]

Man, why does JR not start????

[Chieflion]

J.R Smith!
Denver leads 31-30.

[Ghazi]

Quit hatin on derek fisher

fisher >>> smush parker

[Chieflion]

Man, why does JR not start????
A spark off the bench like a certain Spurs player. To add on, Dahntay Jones is put in at the start to try and slow down the opposing swingmen.

[Jacko]

Why does Phil get $10 million to coach this team?

He insists on putting players on the floor that CANNOT PLAY DEFENSE.

How many more ass kickings will it take for him to realize, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. NOT THE FUCKING TRIANGLE.

God damn Phil is a worthless fucking shit coach. Anyone who plays Fisher for an entire fucking quarter has no brains. Anyone who plays garbage shit like Walton and Farmar over guys with heart like Shannon Brown deserves no credit from me. Phil Jackson is the most overrated coach to ever win a ring. He is coaching like a fucking JV rookie right now.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow, the laker fanboys sure do run hot and cold.

[Jacko]

Get this fucking trash off the floor

[Chieflion]

George Karl, take Anthony Carter out of the motherfucking game, jackass.

[Bob Lanier]

LOL at Bynum's big dumb ass.

[Jacko]

GET THIS FUCKING TRASH OFF THE FLOOR PHIL

Why dont you play Shannon Brown? You fucking retard.

Stop playing this garbage who can't fucking play basketball.

[lefty]

I want to kill Carter just for that stupid retarded alley oop pass


What dumbfuck retard

[lefty]

Instead of having Carter on the court, use JR as a backup PG

Fuck you GK

[Jacko]

Both teams look like utter shit IMHO.

Just garbage execution.

[Jacko]

Fuck Phil Jackson.

No Shannon Brown. What a piece of shit.

[Chieflion]

Take that Anthony Carter out of the game, stupid decisions.

[Bob Lanier]

IMHO.
Yes, you are nothing if not humble.

[Jacko]

Phil Jackson is the worst POS coach left in the playoffs.

He is coaching this game to lose. Seriously. There is no excuse for these rotations.

DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE. DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE

[Bob Lanier]

Conference Finals Brickups is back in the deciding game.

[lefty]

Phil Jackson is the worst POS coach left in the playoffs.

He is coaching this game to lose. Seriously. There is no excuse for these rotations.

DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE. DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE
Fish just said Hi with a 3

[Bob Lanier]

DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE. DEREK FISHER IS GARBAGE

[Jacko]

Both teams are playing so badly.

[Libri]

Carter guarding Kobe again!! :lmao

[lefty]

Both teams played hard

[Bob Lanier]

Good God, Chauncey. It's just like the good old days.

[Jacko]

God fuck you derek fisher

[Chieflion]

Phil Jackson + George Karl = Lame shit Conference Finals

[Bob Lanier]

God fuck you derek fisher
I think this is a timvp dupe account.

[crc21209]

Come on Nuggets god damn it!

[Capt Bringdown]

Denver ain't coming back, LA is in complete control from the tipoff.
Game over.

[lefty]

Magic over Lakers in 6

[crc21209]

I soon as I saw Joey Crawford out there...I knew the cards were stacked against the Nuggets.

[lefty]

Conf Finals Billups

[crc21209]

Lakers wont shoot like that in the 2nd half.

[lefty]

I soon as I saw Joey Crawford out there...I knew the cards were stacked against the Nuggets.
Meeh, even without that, Nuggets suck major donkey ass anyway

[Bob Lanier]

The horse has lost its head.

[crc21209]

Kobe straight up goaltended on that call.

[Banzai]

nice first half.

[ballhog]

Denver is blowing it. Goaltend at the end of the half.

[Banzai]

Kobe straight up goaltended on that call.

:rolleyes

[crc21209]

Denver shooting like shit combined with LA shooting lights out= LA double digit lead. Denver will come back...

[crc21209]

:rolleyes

Ok Laker homer.

[Ghazi]

But ducks told me Melo > James!!! :lol

[Banzai]

Ok Laker homer.

:blah:rolleyes

[u4lakers14]

the faggets are a good team but they lack experience.

the lakers will close it out tonight, but denver will be back next year.

the denver faggets will be good again next year, but again, will fall short.

i really feel like if the spurs can heal up, that the faggets will not get as far next year.

in fact, i feel like if the spurs werent banged up this year, we wouldnt be seeing the denver faggets and los angeles lakers in the wcf, we would be seeing the spurs and lakers.

the mavs would not have beaten the spurs, and the faggets could not have handled the spurs. wrong style for them.

[Ghazi]

We woulda beaten the Spurs in 4 if Manu was playing.

[u4lakers14]

Kobe straight up goaltended on that call.

total bullshit.

he went up at a slight angle

[KSeal]

Come on Nuggets god damn it!

God damn those lazy ass Lakers!!!!!! I hate them!!!!

[u4lakers14]

We woulda beaten the Spurs in 4 if Manu was playing.

of course you would have.

[Ghazi]

if Manu was playing Parker wouldn't have had as many shots, therefore Mavs woulda won in 4.

[lefty]

OMG, Magic, just STFU

[crc21209]

total bullshit.

he went up at a slight angle

OK Laker troll..

[u4lakers14]

We woulda beaten the Spurs in 4 if Manu was playing.

actually, you would have probably still won.

but if duncan wasnt practically on crutches you would have lost in 6.

[KSeal]

OK Laker troll..

OK Spur troll..

[Ghazi]

Crutches my ass.

[bostonguy]

Nuggets are on the verge of imploding. IF LA can keep this up, the Nuggets are going to fall apart.

[ballhog]

total bullshit.

he went up at a slight angle

No replay. That should tell you something.

[u4lakers14]

Crutches my ass.

you will probably want wood because those aluminum ones will be freezing.

[crc21209]

OK Spur troll..

:lol Pleeeease. u4laker14 only has a couple of hundred posts or so..and just signed up recently. Ive been on this site since 2004 and signed up to finally post last yr. Last thing I am is a troll, jackass.

[u4lakers14]

No replay. That should tell you something.

it was a joke but i wouldnt expect most of you to get it.

it was more for my amusement really so dont feel left out

[Capt Bringdown]

Denver ain't getting the stops to overcome a 13pt lead. Game, set and match.

[Ghazi]

What a nice halftime story

[Banzai]

I feel bad for that guy..what happened to him?...he looks up to the Nuggets so much.

[u4lakers14]

im a total troll, and tool

[duncan228]

What a nice halftime story

It was. Touching piece.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Denver ain't getting the stops to overcome a 13pt lead. Game, set and match.

come on bro, if we've seen anything this year it's that the Lakers love blowing leads in the second half

[u4lakers14]

What a nice halftime story


indeed, thats a tough son of a bitch right there.

[ginobme]

down 13 at home?!? Shit.

[duncan228]

I feel bad for that guy..what happened to him?...he looks up to the Nuggets so much.

He was born with spina bifida. They said he's had over 25 surgeries over his life. I guess the Nuggets are his passion, keep him going. It was so cool that the team hired him and let him hang with them. And Melo bought him a van with a wheelchair lift so he could get to the games.

Just a nice story.

[redzero]

Chauncey: "And for my next act..."

[DAF86]

:lmao Kobe

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He gets teched for that... Howard gets teched for taunting after celebrating a dunk... WTF has happened to this league. BULLSHIT calls.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck me, way to fold like a deckchair, Thuggets. :rolleyes

[u4lakers14]

this is where denver will crumble
they wont see single digits again

[timtonymanu]

oh well Denver you had an ok playoff run. Never should have given away Game 3. And Carter should never play major minutes, Karl.

[ballhog]

Phil Jackson calling timeout between free throws. Creature of habit.

[Amaso]

Refs doing a good job keeping Denver in the game.

[Capt Bringdown]

come on bro, if we've seen anything this year it's that the Lakers love blowing leads in the second half

Come on bro, if we've seen anything from the Lakers in the playoffs, it's that when they get a double-digit lead, they tend to keep it.

[ballhog]

Fucking Bynum and Gasol just camp out underneath.

[redzero]

Yep, this is just like Game 6 of Lakers-Jazz. The Nuggets have completely folded. Not so tough when if they aren't playing against an injured Hornets team or the Mavericks.

[timtonymanu]

Poor Billups. 4th straight Conference Finals exit.

[ginobme]

weak call

[jacobdrj]

Poor Billups? 4 out of those 4 times he was at fault...

[timvp]

Typical Nuggets. Still can't believe there were those out there that didn't think their cards would eventually starting crumbling down.

[Libri]

no defense by the Nuggets

[redzero]

Typical Nuggets. Still can't believe there were those out there that didn't think their cards would eventually starting crumbling down.

That's why I thought it would be Lakers-Magic. Chauncey's teams have a way of disappearing in May.

[ginobme]

wow. that's game.

[timvp]

This was the most predictable series in the history of the NBA.

[crc21209]

Finally a little run. JR Smith with the 3. LA still up 79-64.

[crc21209]

Kobe being the dick he is to Gasol... :lol

[DAF86]

The Nuggetts are full of gutless, dumb players.

[ballhog]

Kobe crying like a bitch. They're up by 15.

[Banzai]

He was born with spina bifida. They said he's had over 25 surgeries over his life. I guess the Nuggets are his passion, keep him going. It was so cool that the team hired him and let him hang with them. And Melo bought him a van with a wheelchair lift so he could get to the games.

Just a nice story.

thanks for the info.

[timtonymanu]

Wasnt Melo guarding Walton? He keeps leaving him open.

[ffadicted]

Holy shit do the Lakers actually care tonight? Are they actually trying?

This is strange

[ginobme]

This was the most predictable series in the history of the NBA.

Nah.. NBA Finals 2007 takes that one...Maybe that sixers lakers finals too.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What do you guys think would happen in a Lakers-Orlando Finals?

I think LA in 6

[Capt Bringdown]

Typical Nuggets. Still can't believe there were those out there that didn't think their cards would eventually starting crumbling down.

I don't think anyone truly believed they were contenders. Just hoped that their shooting streak would continue against the obnoxious Lakers.

That's all their playoff run has really been, a shooting streak.

[redzero]

Lakers came out with that killer instinct that they had in Game 6 against the Jazz and Game 4 against the Spurs.

[Amaso]

Hmm, Kobe gets hacked like 4 times on the drive in and no call? Where's Joey Crawford when you need him?

[crc21209]

Kleiza with the bucket!

[timvp]

Nah.. NBA Finals 2007 takes that one...Maybe that sixers lakers finals too.

I don't remember too many people calling a Spurs sweep against the Cavs. And I especially don't remember anyone thinking the 76ers had a prayer in Game 1 of the 2001 Finals.

[ginobme]

way to kill momentum refs

[crc21209]

Offensive foul my ass. :lol What a load.

[ballhog]

Rally killer---refs.

[redzero]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b184/redzero/pautimplaying.jpg

[crc21209]

What a load of shit. Both Vujacic and Martin are fighting fucking AWAY from the ball and play...yet the ref calls a foul...on the Nuggets of course!

[ginobme]

I don't remember too many people calling a Spurs sweep against the Cavs. And I especially don't remember anyone thinking the 76ers had a prayer in Game 1 of the 2001 Finals.

you said easy to call didn't you? both were.

[crc21209]

Birdman fouled on the Oop attempt...no call.

[La Peace]

What a load of shit. Both Vujacic and Martin are fighting fucking AWAY from the ball and play...yet the ref calls a foul...on the Nuggets of course!
Did you see the replay?

Shit was the most obvious bonehead play by martin.

Dude was literally holding his leg.

[DAF86]

The Nuggetts is the most stupid group of people I have ever seen.

[21_Blessings]

:hat

[Sean Cagney]

This game sucks if you are not an LA fan, I wanted to see a better game tonight than this.

Oh well get this series over with now, time for Game 6 of Orlando and Cleveland tomorrow.

[Bob Lanier]

What a dumb motherfucker.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Did you see the replay?

Shit was the most obvious bonehead play by martin.

Dude was literally holding his leg.


+1...what the fuck were you watching there crc?

[redzero]

What a load of shit. Both Vujacic and Martin are fighting fucking AWAY from the ball and play...yet the ref calls a foul...on the Nuggets of course!

I can't believe the refs called a foul on a player for putting another player in an ankle lock. Unbelievable.

[Allanon]

Hahah, stupid foul by KMart...got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

What was he thinking? The ref was standing right there.

[hhml]

Did you see the replay?

Shit was the most obvious bonehead play by martin.

Dude was literally holding his leg.


He thinks everything is a foul on the Lakers, even when the replay shows otherwise. Martin holding Sasha's leg down and the ally oop was a clean deflect by Pau.

[Amaso]

What a load of shit. Both Vujacic and Martin are fighting fucking AWAY from the ball and play...yet the ref calls a foul...on the Nuggets of course!

rofl, if you hadn't fucking noticed, Sasha was the only one even close to the loose ball and Martin was obviously holding his ankle down.

[Sean Cagney]

Nugz do some of the dumbest shyt I have seen after a missed shot, give them two more foul shots you idiot. More often than not it's Jr Smith too.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Birdman fouled on the Oop attempt...no call.

If Nuggets were a smart team, then I'd be angry...

unfortunately, Nuggets making the Finals would be a travesty.

Lakers are smart enough to be in the Finals. Nuggets are just too dumb.

KMart basically ruined the Nuggets come back of getting the game at ten points or less....

Carmelo gave ups like 10 points of defense with his punk-ass-pouting-spoiled child syndrome

JR SMith has the gall to complain about EASY ASS CALLS :lol He's a Fixer's/gambling refs' dream.

[resistanze]

They must be the dumbest collection of players in NBA history.

And Kenyon Martin is the dumbest motherfucker on earth.

[adidas11]

This game is over.

[crc21209]

Can't believe this trash Laker team is going back to the Finals. Go Magic or Cavs. Fuck this...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Can't believe this trash Laker team is going back to the Finals. Go Magic or Cavs. Fuck this...

+ 1 :bang:bang

Thanks a Lot THUGGETS

[redzero]

Thuggets fans now actually have a reason to be angry. Their team folded horribly.

Oh, shi--Lamar with the 3!

[adidas11]

Ok, Luke Walton just dunked on the Nuggets. NOW the game is officially over.

[crc21209]

:lol at the Nuggets getting beat by Scrub Walton.

[timtonymanu]

Melo again leaves Walton open. Nuggets dont deserve to go to the Finals. They're too stupid.

[cobbler]

What a load of shit. Both Vujacic and Martin are fighting fucking AWAY from the ball and play...yet the ref calls a foul...on the Nuggets of course!

OWNED... by the replay! So sad. :lmao

[Libri]

The Nuggets IQ is falling faster than the stock market.

[resistanze]

lol @ people thinking Nuggets had a chance. Victim of their own stupidity.

[BruceBowenFan]

Why the nuggets are double teaming i will never know.

[ballhog]

Billups and Anthony have really sucked this series. Carried them this far and then disappeared.

[Capt Bringdown]

Lakers are perhaps just bored with the competition in this playoffs. Very soft collection of teams this year. The Celtics/Bulls series was entertaining - snoozeville after that.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Melo again leaves Walton open. Nuggets dont deserve to go to the Finals. They're too stupid.

Coach Karl makes me realize how I take Pop for granted.

Carmelo should have stayed in the doghouse. He's been a liability on defense the whole frickin' game.

ANd people had the nerve to ask if Carmelo was on Kobe and Lebron's level. This guy has given up on so many plays he's pathetic.

[redzero]

http://www.nba.com/media/lakers/ts_080405karl.jpg

Just as planned.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Billups and Anthony have really sucked this series. Carried them this far and then disappeared.

Billups is a full fledged retard, he became a three point chucker in a close out game. He fits right in with the team now. :lol

[21_Blessings]

Can't believe this trash Laker team is going back to the Finals. Go Magic or Cavs. Fuck this...

Well at least this trash Lakers team can win in the 1st round.

[crc21209]

:lol Let them play refs, fuck.

[MarHill]

Good night Nuggets!

The Nuggets have a lot of talent...but do not make smart basketball plays when it really matters.

For example, Kenyon Martin killing a run by holding Sasha's leg. Sasha gets 2 free throws and pushes their lead back to 13.

In the Conference Finals and NBA Finals...the little plays matter because both teams are evenly matched or close to it. And the team's BBIQ has to be high.

The Nuggets have to get over that hump (not to self-destruct) in order to win a championship!!!

[hhml]

Crowd is still in this game. Gotta give them a lot of credit. Thought they'd be deflated by now.

Well at least this trash Lakers team can win in the 1st round.

Riiiight. We were missing one of our best players and possibly our best closer this yr. jackass.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol @ JR Smith's disbelief on every foul he commits, who does he think he IS Tim Duncan ???

[resistanze]

When doesn't Billups disappear in a conference finals?

[MarHill]

Well at least this trash Lakers team can win in the 1st round.


Let's have some perspective, Lakers fan.

The Spurs went out in the first round of playoffs for the first time in 9 years. The Lakers had a couple of first round flameouts in the middle of the decade. It does happen!!

[crc21209]

Well the NBA is getting half of its NBA Finals dream matchup for sure. Let the Laker cock sucking begin ESPN.

[timtonymanu]

Coach Karl makes me realize how I take Pop for granted.

Carmelo should have stayed in the doghouse. He's been a liability on defense the whole frickin' game.

ANd people had the nerve to ask if Carmelo was on Kobe and Lebron's level. This guy has given up on so many plays he's pathetic.

forreal. He makes Finley look like a good defender. At least Finley can stay with his man. Melo just leaves his guy WIDE open.

The Spurs were the 3 seed and had Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. The Lakers flared out as the 8/7 seed with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown starting.

[Capt Bringdown]

Kobe leads the Lakers to their second straight trip to the finals, something Pop and Duncan were never able to do, sadly.

Lakers will win the finals, prepare for the mediagasm.

[crc21209]

Kobe Bryant is a cocky ass son of a bitch...I hope the Magic or Cavs spank that ass in the Finals. It would be fun to watch him fail AGAIN.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Congrats Lakers

Would love to Col. Sanders and Kobe go down in flames again.

Yeah and the Spurs were missing Manu who is just as important as Tim and Tony.

But every team (even the Lakers) will have seasons that ended shorter than usual.

So one 1st round flameout in 9 years (Don't forget that fact) will happen.

Again, it's called perspective!

[Gouken]

STFU hater!

[Allanon]

Congrats Lakers

Classy fan.

[timtonymanu]

the game that JR Smith shows up in is the elimination game. Where was that Game 5?

[MarHill]

Kobe leads the Lakers to their second straight trip to the finals, something Pop and Duncan were never able to do, sadly.

What's your point?

Pop and Duncan have four titles together. Regardless how they got them!!!

Larry Bird has three championships and they were not in a row.

To me...this is one of the silliest criticism against a championship team. You didn't get them in a row. Oh boy!!

They still won multiple championships!! :bang

[resistanze]

lol @ Kobe trying to be the vocal leader.

[ballhog]

JR Smith only Nugget to show up tonight. Not even a starter.

[21_Blessings]

Again, it's called perspective!

Yeah, but the Dallas Mavericks? :lol :lol

:flag:

[adidas11]

The two biggest reasons for the Nuggets demise is Carmelo Anthony, and Chauncey Billups.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao

I'm glad the Nuggets aren't my team, They lost without any dignity

The Thuggets don't deserve the fans they have in their stands.

[redzero]

Chompers Grillups choked again. Too bad Nuggets fans didn't get '04 Chauncey.

Nothing but Conference Finals from here on out for the Thuggets.

Yea they did, but the two franchises have obviously been going in different directions the last two years. Lakes have plenty of youth and should be serious championship contenders for the next 3-5 years. Spurs are clearly going the other way and though might be just basic contenders don't have the youth,depth, or height. Pains me to say that, but its true. I just hope to God lakers get knocked by the cavs/magic but I doubt that happens.

[MarHill]

Yeah, but the Dallas Mavericks? :lol :lol

:flag:

And your point????

The first time in 9 years!!

I guess you keep missing that fact.

I know facts don't matter....it's all about subjective truth!!!

[timvp]

you said easy to call didn't you? both were.

I said most predictable. Not most lopsided.

[hhml]

Why does Phil take SB out? He should let him have some more playing time.

[Bob Lanier]

I would agree with your analysis.

Nothing lasts forever.

But, 21 Blessings keeps missing (or is in denial) that the first time in 9 years the Spurs went out in the first round. I could see if they had a few first round flame outs in a row. But, no that didn't happen!!!

Again, it's still called perspective!!

How long before Kobe starts slowing down? He's got a lot of miles on him. 3-5 yrs. from now he won't be a world beater.

[lefty]

Adam Morrisson going to the NBA Finals :lmao

[ManuTP9]

this could of been the spurs!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a fucking awful choke job. You suck Thuggets, you suck hard. :pctoss

Once Kobe is gone, Lebron will come take his place :hat

[crc21209]

Fuck Pau, he smells. :lol

[Ice009]

The Spurs were the 3 seed and had Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. The Lakers flared out as the 8/7 seed with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown starting.

lol anyone that actually watched the NBA instead of the Lakers only this season knows that seeds 2-7 were pretty much equal and the only difference being home court advantage.

Manu also played half a season with us. If he did not play at all then the Spurs probably would not have finished anywhere near 3rd and maybe not have even made the playoffs. Sure we had Tony and Tim in the playoffs, but the rest of the team was not very good at all. Tim was definitely not even close to 100% either.

Your take is beyond pathetic. Do you actually want to bring something decent or are you going to just be happy the Lakers made the finals ;).

[crc21209]

Pau is still soft bitch shut up! :lol

Yeah... Im sure as he drives to his Newport beach home, puts the bently away, tucks the kids in, tosses his weekly check of about 800,000 on desk, thinks about being back in the finals where he has won 3 times, his very next thought is what a failure he's become.

:lmao

[crc21209]

Doris Burke looks like a damn dike. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol

gotta give props to the Lakers not giving a shit about the WCF trophy :tu

[The Third Man]

Credit the Lakers for stepping up. They present a lot of match up problems for most teams, but the Nuggets are more vulnerable than most. They still could have won the series, but they waste too many possessions with poor shot choices and are pretty soft up front. Nobody is going to outscore the Lakers. You have to be physical with them and slow it down. While the Nuggets have the personnel, they didn't have the discipline to carry out this strategy. They also got hardly any statistical advantage at the point guard position. You have to make the Lakers pay here to have any chance. I don't think the Cavs, or Magic have any better chance.

[Ice009]

:lmao Chauncey

lol I guess it was the right move trading Billups then huh?

Like I said earlier in the series I would take Tony Parker over Billups any day of the week.
