Lakers Take Series Lead
LABallTalk posted 4/21/2008 from www.laballtalk.com
This game was quite exciting in the 1st half as the momentum shifted back and forth. The Lakers came out big early, took a ten point lead, and things were looking good, up until the last few minutes of the 1st quarter. As the 2nd quarter opened, the Lakers had a four point lead and soon were in a deep hole. The Denver Nuggets continued to push the tempo of the game...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. But I hate the tension, the nervousness, and the worry over little problems maybe becoming big ones and leading to a key loss. When all is said and done though, when the Lakers play with the poise, professionalism ...Postcards From LA, Vol. 1: One Lakers Fan Tracks His Team Through the NBA Playoffs

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?
