Lakers look beatable, won't be an easy series for them, but even if they do get by denver, the cavs will be waiting for them.
He said Denver would finish off Dallas, so I guess he's not that dumb after all, huh?
It's all about matchups
Just don't see the matchups favoring Denver. AND they don't have home court. Who is gonna guard Kobe? If Bynum finds his pulse he should have a field day. I do not think they can guard Gasol. Lakers can match the offensive firepower of the Nuggets, who looked like an okay but not great defensive team this series.
Have to agree with that. You guys were ridiculous in Game 5. Denver will be a LOT tougher than Houston, but I give you the edge.
this team hanst faced a team with an inside presence yet. the key to the series will be the 3. if the nuggets live by the 3 they will win, but if they start to die they will go down fast
On paper, the Lakers should be favored over the Nuggs, but the Nuggs are simply playing at a higher level right now.
Other than Pau and Kobe, the other players have been woefully inconsistent.
The Nuggets big men will be able to hang with the Lakers big men. They're playing tougher and they're more athletic. Let Kobe do whatever he wants.
Can't yall just hear all the Kobe in Colorado talk!!!!?
It's gonna get real ugly!
As much as everyone on the planet would love to see it happen, David Stern will make sure it doesn't. Stern has a girlieman-crush on Kobe.
I hope you're right.
denver is tough but i think lakers match up better. they have trouble with fast pg's. fish is strong enough to match up with billups. wild card will be jr smith. if he contines to shoot out of his mind, lakers will have a tough time in the next round
allowed almost 107 PPG v Mavs, not really "tough".
cavs d > rockets d
Sort of like 'the trouble' the Fakers will be in if they get past the Nuggets and have to face the Cavs!!!
Only the Lakers and Celtics have responded in the playoffs. The Cavs and Nuggets haven't really been challenged yet.
I think we'll see a repeat of last year's finals matchup with LA taking the le.
It's probably best that the Lakers have homecourt, we don't need Kobe being accused of any more rapes in Colorado![]()
Sorry Chuck but David Stern has already said that the Lakers are going to come out of the West.
Chauncey and Anthony will get injured next round, leaving the Lakers beating yet another injured team on their way to the finals.
