Outgunned: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets Playoff Preview
MrThell posted 4/20/2008 from www.emptythebench.com
A testament to just how strong the West has been this year, only seven games separate the eighth and first seeds and both are 50-win teams. This matchup isn’t the typical cakewalk you expect in the first round for a one seed, as the Kobe's Lakers will have to contend against a roster featuring superstars Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby. That’s a lot of star power.Derek Fisher beans Carmelo in the face

I have a love/hate relationship with the playoffs. I love that it’s the pathway to the Finals, that the best teams in the league are competing and that every game means something.

True, the Lakers were sloppy at times and didn’t impress with their defensive intensity, but at no point during today’s game - even when the Lakers trailed by as many as nine in the second quarter - did I ever feel like a Lakers victory was in doubt. I mean, when you get 16 points from Fluke Walton, you know things are going the Lakers way.Lakers Fans Treat Carmelo Anthony To "DUI" Chants
SbB posted 4/21/2008 from www.sportsbybrooks.com
Carmelo Anthony was treated to chants of "D-U-I" by the Lakers faithful during Sunday's Game 1. Well, that seems a bit extreme - much like Melo's intoxication levels when he was pulled over last week. Wonder if Nuggets fans will retaliate by chanting at Kobe during Game 3. Something about his sexcapades in Vail, perhaps?
