Nuggets weren't able to finish what they started

BroncoTalk found this 4/21/2008 on sports.yahoo.com [flag]

Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson did their dynamic duo part. The Denver Nuggets ' bench was there, when needed, to prop them with added support. Their defense, for a long while at least, harassed Kobe Bryant into missing shot after shot. The blueprint for a Nuggets' victory was in place according to the Los Angeles Times. Yet, they still didn't come close in Sunday's 128-114 opening-round ... [link]

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.

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.

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?
