+1 Lakers will sweep. Book it.![]()
To lose a game like this when you basically outplayed the other team for most of the game is just crushing to a team's confidence. They had no business losing with the way they were playing, shutting down the Laker's interior and dominating the paint on offense. The refs were good to them as well giving them the decisive advantage at the line.
IMHO DEN will not recover from this.

Your opinion is never humble , and@ trying to convince yourself that the series is over after the first ing game!
i thought magic said it
Series is not over we need a strong win or a crushing win like this one ...to finish them off ...I still say this goes at least 6 ...
When it comes to helping deliver crushing losses ...Dfish is only 2nd to Robert Horry ...
If we get better Refs in games 2-4, we might have a chance. The Nuggets were handed the game but Kobe stole it away from them and even took time to flip off the ing refs!
The Lakers got every ing call down the stretch but what do you expect?
the refs weren't a problem in regards to bias to a certain team..I really hope I don't have to list the officiating on both sides, because LA got a few more biased calls IMO..
Denver should have won, they choked..they played pretty poorly though..Billups couldn't make anything, Smith couldn't make anything, they failed to get Anthony the ball more, LA made more 3s than anybody would expect from their average shooters..
it'll be a compe ive series..
I'm actually surprised that the Nuggets played the Lakers as tough as they did. The Blazers are the only Western team that can beat the Lakers, but that will have to wait until next year.
IMHO, it's the complete opposite. They should feel real good. They went to Staples, controlled the game most of the time, outplayed the Lakers front court, missed a lot of free throws, Billups didn't have a good game, and they almost still pull out a win.
They're playing in LA, so basically they're playing with house money.
And as bad as that Carter play was, they should be happy it happened in the first game. Now they know he can't be in those situations.
Yeah if it wasn't for bad fouls and a few bad shots by the Nuggets when they head their foot at our throats they should have easily one. That Wilbon guy said it well when he mentioned that he was waiting for them to make silly plays to cost them.
I doubt their bigs outplay ours by this drastic a margin as they did today. That's what makes it such a bad loss on their part. Lakers bigs disgusted me out there today. Especially Bynum with his lack of knowledge of when to give a foul. Kid commited his 4th foul in the opening minute of the 3rd quarter. BOZO
House is back !
look at him with his truffle hot: wriggling, stirring the tail, woofing, posting stupid threads...
Lmao, ain't nothing over dumbass. We're just getting started. That was a great game, a little disappointed with the results, but i know this team will bounce back like they've done after every losses in the Playoffs.BTW, no series is official over until a team wins on the road.
You don't get it. For the road team, Game 1 is always the easiest one to steal. Especially when your team has more time to prepare than the other team.
Now Phil can make his adjustments and this series will take a much different turn.
Interesting sig
Get that weak outta here. Nuggets have been the #1 team at getting to the line for like the past couple seasons now. This team ain't no soft jump shooting team like some other teams, won't mention any names. Where have you been?
damn all the nuggets fans in their respective forums ant ing about the refs. just saying they choked. i guess spurs fans hurt more than denver fans
Like the Houston series?
The biggest problem the Lakers have is defense. They're allowing 30+ point quarters like there's no tomorrow. They did it against Houston, and people here claimed it was bad matchups. Now they're doing it again against Denver.
If the Lakers played a semblance of the defense they played very early during the regular season they would be breezing through right now.
just STFU you pre-teen ...The Blazers were first-round fodder, GET OVER IT. You beat the Lakers in your own building but get blown out both games in LA and suddenly you can take the Lakers in a series?
Seriously though, STFU already...the Blazers are a distant memory
The only worse way to lose is to make a monster comeback and then get beaten at the end (like LA in game 5 against the Spurs in 03 or the Spurs against LA in game 5 in 04).
True datttttt..What did they get..24 hours to get ready for this game while Denver had a week. This was Denvers best chance..Reminded me of game 1 vs Houston..Too bad Nuggets are a bunch of freakin airheads haha

You say all that like it's a given. As for the cute little excuse having to due with the lack of time to make adjustments and whatnot, I can do the same by bringing up Denver's 5 day layoff or argue that Denver's going to come out in game 2 even stronger than they did after their disappointing loss.
