The Nuggets are so y I want to vomit

Live by the headband, die by the headband. The Nuggets play loose and with all of that talent they can beat the crap out of anybody. They play too loose sometimes, though and that will probably cost them the series. They have more talent than the Lakers, that's for sure. The L.A. bench is horrible. Lamar Odom is a complete dog out there, too.

Lamar is gone after this season.

I don't get hate the nuggets get for being y and rubbing it in. The Lakers have always been a team filled with arrogant pricks including the 3 peat years. Dfish,Horry,Fox,Kobe,Shaq those guys all laughed it up and rubbed it in people's faces when they were winning. This current teams has a bunch of pricks on it to in Dfish,Kobe, Gaysol,Odom, Luke Walton, Vuja , I have seen those guys do the same things when they win that the nuggets are doing now. Its just that the Lakers are getting a taste of their own medicine thats why its frustrating for their fans to endure it.

If you can't see the difference between JR Smith doing a velociraptor dance after hitting a 3 when the game was already decided and the 3-peat Laker teams then clearly you are beyond reason.

The difference is you don't root for the first one.

Off-topic: Remember when Shaq yoked up Chris Dudley and shoved him to the ground after a dunk all in one motion....Dudley got T'd up for throwing the ball back at Shaq.

Nuggets have managed some of the dumbest basketball I've ever seen in a playoff series, yet the Lakers just narrowly squeeked out 2 wins.

This from one of the most talented Lakers squads we've seen in a long, long time.

Phil looks bored, as does the entire team at times. I think everyone's just fed up with Kobe - he's not a leader or the kind of teammate you'd want to rally around is he?

If the Lakers win, he'll get all the credit and then some. If they lose, he'll be the first one to throw his teammates under the bus.

If the Nuggets can somehow pull this off, I'll have a soft spot for this wacky squad FOREVER!
