Lakeshow
You couldnt have closed at home since game 6 would be in san ant. Now im not sayin he win we a healthy manu but that 20 plus pt lead we lost maybe with manu we could have held it giving us the chance to close at home in game 6. Now i do agree that denver hasnt been challenged but comon utah and houston without yao isnt that much either and you guys are still playin thrm.

Jeh
No one takes seriously a comment praising a team and ending with ” oh and im not even a …. Fan”. Rafa where r u?

LA fans funny talking about the Nugs wont give yall any problems and yall struggling right now with a team with no stars.They WILL give u fools problems,book it.I didnt have a problem with Vince going to his graduation b ecause Im a Sixer fan and I knew we had it in the bag when he did that shit.All it tells me is his mind is other places,which is why he stunk it up.Imagine a serious winner like Timmy or MJ going to get they diploma for game 7.I bet u cant.

@Bron42 – You must have forgotten about Fisher & Walton while you were drinking that hatorade. It could be argued that Gasol & Odom have their own playoff experience as well. You can’t discount the Finals trip last year though…that alone gives the “Mob Squad” a slight edge over a Denver team that hadn’t made it past the first round since you were rockin them BK’s.

Don’t get me wrong…I like Denver…maybe more than LA but don’t try to compare the experience level of these 2 teams.

And about your question…Jones is gonna give Kobe fits. Not saying he’ll shut him down…but I’ve got $5 that some RAJA BELL drama is gonna happen.

I guess nobody hade a problem with the all-NBA teams. I think they were right on for the most part, I honestly think only Deron Williams has a case to be on them out of the “others”. Basically you have five great guards (Paul, Roy, Billups, Parker, and Williams) fighting for four spots on the 2nd and 3rd teams. I think Williams should have been on there, but his team self-destructed at the end of the year so I can understand why the others got more votes.

why is everyone saying we’re gonna have trouble with chauncy? i think this is a dream mach up for fish..he doesnt have to deal with quickness which is what has killed him ALL YEAR. he is def older and its harder for him to be has quick as some of the younger and faster pg’s…i.e. deron, cp3, brooks, parker, etc…

chauncy is EXACTLY who fisher would love to guard..slower..bigger body..tries to post up sometimes (he cant against fisher) loves the 3 ball..fisher doesnt help much off his man..this is a great match up for him..am i missing something here?

i think our biggest challenge is going to be interior toughness and we have to use our size (bynum, gasol, odom) and length to beat these dudes..

kobe is going off in this series..cant wait

all we need is some effort tonight and we got this..effort..thats alllllllllll we need tonight..

I’m fine with all the Nuggets haters…they keep winning and that’s all that matters. If Tracy Morgan remembers how to play some ball, then the Nugz could have some serious problems. I still think the Kobe’s are going to win in 7, but as Barkley said last night, “The lakers are going to have their damn hands full with the Nuggets”.

I can’t wait to see Pau get bounced around like the little girl he is. Birdman, K-Mart, and Nene are all tougher and more intimidating that Pau. LA let Artest get in their head for a few games. Denver has like 6 or 7 different Artests to get in your head.

@JEH, um until last year you could say the exact same thing about everyone on the lakers not name kobe. And they all choked on the big stage. Not to mentoin chauncy was finals MVP and as a pg, thats a big thing because he controls the game tempo so his experience alone should make up for most of the rest. Its not really likely they’ll choke crucial possesions away since the ball will start in his hands. Also K mart was there wit the nets and he was a BEAST back then..people forget how nasty a young healthy kmart was. If they didn’t have to go against shaq or duncan, he would have a ring.

This game will be decided by the lakers frontline. If they get the usual soft euro gasol and trash bynum, denver wins easy and won’t be much more than dallas’ frontline did. IF they man up and actually play tough and bynum actually remembers hes 7’0 and in the nba, then lakers should walk away with it.

Question, who would annoy more….Ariza on melo or D.Jones on Kobe and I know people are gonna laugh about dahntay but he did lock up chris paul for the most part.
