LMAO, you just can't get the Lakers out of your mind.
then the Lakers are going fishing.
Book it. LA cannot survive a barrage of 3pointers from Jr Smith and Billups + a Melo/Birdman/Martin frontcourt.
We all know how deadly JR Smith can be.
Lakers should be very very worried. The only two games the Lakers won was TWO inbound disasters. The Nuggets GAVE the Lakers the wins, the Lakers didn't take them.
Denver is gonna win this, imo.

You should be on you're knees sucking Buss' for giving Miami it's only Championship.
Denver's gonna own your asses!!
nuggets are lucky they aren't down 3-1....lakers blew game 2.
nuggets aren't as good as L.A..this series ends in 6. Lakers are heading to the finals.
I understand, Laker fan.
OH!
I see what you did there.
MiamiHeat == Mav fan troll.
I'm surprised it's taken you guys this long to figure it out.
If Denver had been able to play just a little bit smarter they might have swept the Lakers.
That's the thing about the NBA though, you don't win in the playoffs unless you are a smart team.
The fact that DEN plays well through 3 quarters is irrelevant. So do the Mavs. It's a 48 minute game, and if you are incapable of playing well for 48 minutes then you simply don't DESERVE to win.
So no, the Nuggets SHOULDN'T have won any game they lost. They lost because they lack focus and mental strength needed to close out games. And that is just as important as talent.
IMO its actually more important.
Yeah I don't like the "should have/shouldn't have" excuse. You win or lose, period. Could Denver have won games 1 and 3? Absolutely, it was that close but at the same time, LA could have won game 3 and be up 3-1 right now.
Couldn't agree more. This is why the Spurs have been on top for so long. Not necessarily because they are loaded with talent, but because they can out execute any team in the 4th quarter.
Smith/Billups were only 5/15 from 3 last game..
They hit their 3's when the game was basically over anyways.
Nuggets are a better TEAM than team Kobe...We have seen these Lakers for about 16 games already in the playoffs, and they don't scare anybody unlike the Shaq/Kobe Lakers.....Nobody is steppin up besides Kobe b/c they are scared of playin physical against the nugs
the nuggets have not shot as well from 3 as they normally do.... this is the only reason why any of these games have been close.
but JR smith is the biggest wild card. if he plays well the rest of the series, i think the nuggets win it. he gives them such a spark when he plays well. the entire team seems to get an adrenaline rush and feed off some his spectacular shots.
Lakers haven't really played well all series long.
They are due for a good game IMHO.
Can't disagree with you there. The Spurs need to have their Big 3 all healthy to be in top form, though.

If I were the Lakers, I'd be more worried about Gasol, Bynum, and Odom actually being able to get a defensive rebound than Billups and JR Smith lighting it up from three point range. If they do get hot from long distance, even with good defense, sometimes you can't do anything about it. But, controlling the defensive boards is something they can do something about.
Oh, and Odom needs to learn how to score.
The Lakers will rebound better in Game 5. There as no effort from them in Game 4, not surprised at all given how they've played thus far.
Lakers are probably fine.
Keep in mind the 08 Celtics, 07 Spurs, 06 Mavs, 05 Spurs, 04 Pistons etc etc usually had 2-3 games during the postseason where they lost by 15+ points. Actually I don't think so in the case of the Pistons, but still.
Too much is made of the Lakers' inconsistency, like PJ said, give their opponents some IN credit!
It should surprise you at least a little bit since game 1 was a devastating loss from which the Nuggets wouldn't be able to recover. And, since that devastating loss, the Nuggets have won two games and had a very good chance to win all three since that devastating loss. It shouldn't matter how the Lakers have played since that game 1 loss was so devastating that the Nuggets wouldn't be able to recover from it.
Did I mention how devastating a loss game 1 was for the Nuggets?
Did I mention that you root for a team with no heart that embarrassed DET sports by not even showing up in the playoffs?
Did I mention you live in a POS city with a rapidly declining population?
Did I mention that you have no life other than taking shots at Laker fans since you have absolutely nothing to root for anymore and won't for a long time?
You probably have before. And, you did again right now.
Is there a point to your post?
Was there a point to yours?
