It's all about the match-ups,if lakers was to play portland,portland could have stolen 1-2 games from the lakers but i don't see denver winning a single game.And I say this despite hating the lakers by passion.
 
denver is all about offense,no defense at all.nowitzki is a class player but they tried everyone on him,he kept scoring 35 with 10-15 boards night in night out.
 
Who will defend Kobe?houston won against lakers twice because they are better defensibvely than denver,they have shane battier,ron artest who can defend well.
 
can't wait the lakers-denver series to start so that i can pound on the lakers each 4 games.

you are an idiot.    Quit wasting threads with this crap.

lakers will be lucky to make it to the finals.   Bench is a joke.

nuggets have the best play off record in this bunch, and they covered the spread all but 1 game. their no push over for any team in these play offs.

Hope Kobe blows out his knee he is a piece of shit rapist. Hope Artest punches him in his face cant stand the looks of him.  If artest doesnt do it maybe Kenyon will. How about Gasols beard (LOL) looks like an 8th grader and i still say fisher looks just like a largemouth bass. As you guys can tell i hate L.A. remember Kobe NO MEANS NO !!!

if denver steals games,i will be happier than anyone but come here and say i'm an ass for this sweep prediction, i hate lakers myself,i'd like kenyon to punch vujacic etc etc
 
but hate/anger is on the other side,logic still says 4-0,no fuckin match up for denver,not a single defensive player like ron artest/shane battier etc denver has.

I dont know what actual matchups you see, and I wasnt about to read all this garbage, but Denver is the team that has improved the most in this playoff run, and I always stand by my theory that the lakers are a soft bunch of pussies except for kobe, so we will see if K-Mart, Melo, Birdman and Nene can show some physicality, yea i like that word, and if they do, I think Denver can take this series quite easily.

Dahntay Jones is capable of doing what Battier does on the Defense side, not a good premiter shooter but clearly more atlethic. You see that dunk he had on Dampier. Kenyon Martin is a better Defender than Artest, and he should have a much easier time on Kobe, than the 7 foot Dirk. And to your last question the Nuggets won't stop Kobe, but will the Lakers stop our great players in Billups, Melo, and Smith. All those guys can score all will just like Kobe.

     Oh ok, so since they were on a really nice winning streak that meant they were DUE to lose??? I would actually look at it much differently...the Lakers spanked the hottest team in the NBA at the time! Hmmmm...

Pot doesn't make you stupid. But sometimes it makes you bet more on the Lakers than you should.

I think the correct statement is that
 
as good as Denver's offense is...do not sleep on their defense...they can and have been defending quite well.  And unlike Houston, they are healthy.
 
I think the fact that LA has been having problems with Houston's quick lineup does not bode well against a quick Denver team.
 
Finally, the fact that Denver was handled nicely during the regular season was addressed by Billups comment the other day......
 
"He said that this Denver team "right now" would beat the regular season Denver team by double digits."
 
I agree with that assessment...and that's why I always say it is not how you were playing Oct - April ..... it is how you are playing right now that dictates what will happen when teams match-up.
 
Remember, the Lakers swept Houston during the reg season and look where we are right now.   Houston has a chance (Buster Doglas chance) to shock the world.

You and Johnny_Utah say the Nuggets play no defense. REALLY?

Wake up. The Nuggets are winning with a combination of consistent offense and good defense. They have, I dunno, like the NBA record for causing turnovers. They get their sticky little hands into the passing lanes and force turnovers.

They also charge into the paint and draw fouls. If you have watched their series against Dallas then you should know that a ton of their points come from the free throw line.

Your post is just ignorant. Do some research and start another thread.
