That's eerily reminiscent of when...Quote:

"It feels good to finally be in the 2nd round."
Orlando, however, lost Games 5, 6, and 7 by an average of more than 20 points, and Detroit advanced to the second round.
Not particularly surprising that the series is tough. Over the course of the season, the Nuggets point differential was almost twice the size of the Lakers differential.
Go Nuggets.

mcgee isnt as bad as people think
he played on washington first where there veteran leadership was andre blatche
he had free reign to do whatever he wanted and they made him a #1/2 option on offense which exposed him
right now hes a cleanup type guy like farried
Hes also had a lot of double doubles/20+ pt games but espn only shows the dumb plays he makes
some of which arent even that bad like the goaltends
JMG isn't that bad. The lame triple-double really hurt his rep, but otherwise nothing was really egregious. Running back to D when he thought his team had lost the ball looks boneheaded, but would be viewed favorably by many coaches. Attempting a dunk from way too far... hmm, haven't we seen a Spurs player do that recently, and by that I mean a player who currently doesn't have 1/10th of JMG athleticism?
So yeah, I'm definitely in the camp of cutting the kid a bit more slack...
This series' Nuggets might be the first non-Spurs team I've actually enjoyed watching in the playoffs. Mainly because it's so fun to watch the Lakers lose, and look inept in the process. Game 7 is going to be bananas, and I'll be rooting for the Nuggets to whoop some ass.
So why do a couple people not like Gallo on here? Last season, besides Nene and Wilson he was my favorite player. This year he pretty much is, but I followed the Nuggets even less, what with the lockout and all.

OK that was stupid. Forgot that he was suspended for the last regular season game and has now completed his suspension. He will play in Game 7.Quote:

I would like to have a rational explanation but the truth is I just don't.:lolQuote:

It's nothing that stops me from cheering for him though since I like most of the other Nuggets.
Lakers take game 7.
World Peace will stop the post up game by Miller dead in it's tracks. Denver will regress back to 23% shooting from downtown.
Lakers will win by 12.
:lol That "#2 ...just watch" cracks me up.Quote:

Why do people feel the Lakers would give the Thunder more problems. I don't see a switch being flipped this year. Go Nuggets!
Yea at this point I see the Lakers as flawed and presenting little resistance to the the hungry to prove themselves/ wanting to payback MWP with fiery play Thunder.
Let the Nuggets who are of the same mold and desire.. let the young pups bash each others brains in
while the Spurs hone their sharpness on the Grizzlies and ignite their own vengeance inferno.
My ideal scenario, the Spurs primed and victorious, vanquishing the Grizzlies in 5, battle tested and exorcising the demons of last year (little ones) while the Thunder come in jubilant but weary after playing the altitude boys in 6.
You have a link of that video kind sir? :)Quote:

Nuggets. Ultimately because I'm more afraid of the Lakers than the young, stupid Thunder. Ron Artest has been out, which adds to it, and the size they have down low can be problematic for the Spurs. If Gasol and Bynum have really good games, they're tough to beat.
Oh yeah, and Kobe, Bynum, and Gasol getting booted from the 1st round would be pretty good too I suppose.
:lmao Kobe mad his flu game didn't go like Jordan's :lol
Nope. You can google the Sager interview after the next game and he doesn't take the bait on Bynum's comments either.Quote:

Fuck the Lakers.
Nuggets, they are playing lights out right now.
Let's go Butt Nuggets!
He is for the wrong football team and WAY too loud about it.Quote:
