Damnit Denver, this is why you guys will never be taken seriously

The Nuggets did better than anyone, including me, thought they would do. I think their own immaturity, Karl's coaching decisions, stupid plays among other things hurt them. And you have to play your "A" game when you are facing a team like the Lakers. They had their opportunities but failed to capitalize when they had the chance.

The better team won this series but the Nuggets have nothing to be ashamed of........

Well said, I was going to create a new thread to say something similar. They fought pretty long and hard in the Playoffs and didn't fold as quickly as everybody thought they would.

Nuggets were much better than I thought they were.

Dumb team don't make it to the finals.

Post game, Karl apologized to Nuggets fans.

Denver coach George Karl said he's proud of his group and Friday's blowout loss was not characteristic of their season.

"I don't feel good about congratulating the Lakers but they are a great team," Karl said.

"In a strange way I was anxious throughout the series because I saw little cracks in the Lakers game and they cemented them back up and they are the best team in NBA.

"I coached a long time in this league and this has been a special season for me. I couldn't ask anything more from any guy in that locker room.

"Forget about tonight. Tonight wasn't Nugget basketball and I apologize to the fans.

Nuggets need to make trades for veteran championship role players such as Posey,SJAX, or maybe even Shaq who can give them a dominant inside presence....They have the talent to pull of these kind of trades...Unlike the Spurs

And maybe just maybe the Lakers aren't as good as you think they are...

ahhh...

forget it.... stupid comeback in 5 4 3 2 1

And maybe, just maybe you don't know jack ?

How 'bout them Nuggz in 5?

Dude the team in a close out situation had twenty turnovers. I think that I'm calling Denver in 5

How 'bout your Cavs? The "Fundamentally Flawed" Magic and Lakers are about to play in the Finals smart guy. Eat a Rodney, you're good at that.

Cavs Play D almost every minute of the game. No other team left in the Playoffs Plays D like them. I can't believe so many "learned" NBA guys just totally discount that MAJOR aspect of the game. Of a Match up. Of a series. Including Charles Barkley. In fact, since 1999 the winner of the NBA crown has been the team with the most conistant D-Fense.

The Magic being taken by a depleted Celtics Team to a seventh game shows a fundamental failure of their system just as it shows the Lakers having a fundamental flaw in the mixture. Yada Yada, Detroit, Blah Blah, Atlanta.... ing guys and your "big brains"

And how does LeBron's taste while riding the Cavaliers Bandwagon?

The only thing pathetic is you... Night nigh enjoy your jack off fest... maybe one day you'll kiss a something other than The of Kobe...

Congrats to the Lakers on their 2009 Western Conference championship, but the Nuggets played crap in this game. Did they forget that defense wins championships? Anthony let Ariza go wild in the first half and Chauncey just threw up random shots that have a low percentage of going in. Just when everyone takes them seriously, they it up with their defense, good job guys. Have fun fishing with us.

Exactly. I got sucked in by the Nuggets. I believed they had actually rid themselves of their high dumb-ass quotient. They let me down.
