Go Nuggets!

I think the series is tied at 2-2, at which point the Lakers win the next two.*

However, Denver is a team that hasn't been real healthy, and has actually played quite well when they are. Without the fear of catching one of Metta World War's elbows, I could see Danilo Gallinari having an outstanding series.


*Unless the Nuggets win 2 of the next 3.

Also, if Birdman actually gets in the game and performs, I would like to predict a "Birdman went to Blinn?" thread. Although the presence of this prediction might negate that.

Too bad Fisher isn't a Laker still. One of the highlights of the playoffs for me is seeing which young point guard puts up the best stats against the Lakers in the playoffs.

I'm sad at the thought of not being able to see Ty Lawson literally run circles around Fish.

Meh. Sessions isn't that great of a defender.

We might still have some fun with Sessions.

I will be impressed if Denver could even come close to winning in LA. Probably not going to happen, with or without World Artest.

Jordan Hill. /laughcry

Sessions hasn't been playing well the past few weeks and LA is really thin at SF with Barnes hobbled at Artest sitting out. Kobe's only played in 2 of the Lakers' last 10 games.

I don' think Denver wins in LA, but if it was going to happen, now would be the time. I could easily see Kobe being a bit rusty coming out of the gate and misfiring perimeter defense leading to Denver getting a lot of good shots

Gallo should be primed for a big series.

At Staples and the atmosphere is electric. Go Lakers!

Any other non-Laker fans rooting for an LA sweep?

That way world chaos misses 2 games against OKC.

Good grief, both teams getting away with murder early.

Ugly 6-4 game five minutes in.

Lakers forunate not having Fisher getting murdered by Lawson. Sessions looking healthier and doing very well

Going to be a very short series if the Nugs can't find an answer for ... Steve Blake?

Devin Ebanks is 2009 Ariza right now. more points than bynum, bryant, gasol combined

Kobe is taking stupid shots (unsurprising), but LA has too many guns for Denver to handle.

After watching last nights game, I wouldn't assume an OKC series victory. I do think they will, but Dallas is a veteran team. They will make this a series

Magic trying to spin the loss of Artest now saying the Lakers match up better with Denver without him.

I buy that it's good for the Lakers, but not for that reason. It's good for them because they're forced into using Ebanks and getting him playoff minutes.

Lakers +8 in rebounding at the half.

Bynum 7 blocks. Kobe shooting terribly and no problem. Lakers look like the most dominant team in the playoffs thus far

LMAO, simple just flipped on his TV for the first time at 3pm on Sunday.

Sessions second leading scorer, 14 and 4 on 60% shooting. And has shut down Lawson

Looks like the shoulder has healed. Playing great. Difference maker

Know how I know you didn't watch the Heat?

In addition to the blocks, Bynum has intimidated another 10+ shots.

Can't wait until LAL vs. OKC. Watching simple meltdown is going to be classic.

If OKC plays anything like last night they might not be in the second round. Needed a miracle.

And i will not be suprised if the thunder sweep the lakers. The thunder are a terrible matchup for LA

Andrew Bynum.... best center playing in the nba

Triple double 10 points, 13 rebounds and ties nba playoff record 10 blocks.

Last Laker to get a triple double in the playoffs was Magic in 91 Finals

Funny how that line isn't much different from Hibbert's line yesterday. Maybe they are just both head and shoulders above D Howard.

I swear your idiocy knows no bounds.

Funny how Hibbert went 3/11 and Bynum was 5/7. And Hibbert was arguably the reason why his team lost the game, at home.

But keep fishing. It's cute. Tell us how awesone Tiago Splitter is.

Now simple cares about fg%. He'll pimp kobe's numbers but make no mention of his less than stellar %s.

Nothing you said makes any sense. Literally.

Pimp Kobe's stats. I made one mention of Kobe in this thread.

It's sad that actually believe what you type.

He thinks only this thread matters. That's adorable.

Game 2 tonight. Lakers will win the championship!

I'm calling it now. Bynum goes down with a knee injury and misses the rest of the playoffs.
