I want the Nuggets to win, but part of me will be sad if the Spurs don't get their chance to crush the Lakers in the WCF.
I agree.Quote:

And given that there's virtually no chance of the Nuggets winning going away, if it's close, but they're up/in control late, you can be sure that at least a few highly questionable calls will go against them.
But I don't even think it'll be all that close. Maybe the Lakers bigs are running on fumes, but that will be their undoing against the Thunder. Not now, when all they have to do is summon whatever they have left for one game against an inferior team. Like the Heat, we know these arrogant pricks only play to their capabilities when the spirit moves them and suffice it to say, game seven qualifies.
It's funny hearing Laker fans make excuses about missing MWP for the series so far blah blah blah, do they not realize that the Nuggets are without Chandler and Fernandez?!
My heart says Nuggets by 8 tonight, but my head says refs by 10
Butt Nuggets FTW!
You posted about Lakers fans making excuses and yet you make your own.Quote:

Why is it a nightmare? Because you say so? Because the Celtics and the Heat didn't advance? Because you think Oklahoma City -Denver wouldn't kill it in a series? Or is it another case of the Spurfan victim complex?
:lol but the missing players excuse is a wash for both teams. The refs excuse is legit coz even you know the Nuggets won't get a fair call in game 7 in LAQuote:

We both expected this before the start of the playoffs.
You already have pre-conditioned your mind to the inferior thinking that Denver won't get a call in LA, instead of thinking that they will come in there and beat LA's asses. Loser's mentality will lose your team Game 7. Not the referees.Quote:

I think he posted about Lakers fans making excuses when the Nuggets have the exact same excuse, but theirs is about a hundred times better.Quote:

As a Spurs fans, I naturally want the Lakers to lose, but I'm trying to balance that with deciding which team would be a harder matchup for the Thunder. I think OKC beats either, but Lakers/Thunder would an interesting collision of styles. Denver/OKC would be hectic and fun.
I feel like the Nuggets will give the Thunder a tougher fight, theyre well coached and love their tempo, the Thunder will run the Lakers off the court just like the Nuggets are doing
not cheering for either lol.As much as id love for la to fall on their face and collapse i dont c denver going in their and punking kobe and mwpunk
