Outgunned: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets Playoff Preview

MrThell posted 4/20/2008 from www.emptythebench.com [flag]

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. [link]

  Lakers took care of business today. If they can drop 128 on a day when Kobe was looking out of sorts and his jumper wasn't falling, then Denver is sunk. With all the talent on this team the Nuggets should be a tough out and George Karl should lose his job, but unfortunately 50-win coaches are rarely fired.

    33 assists on 46 field goals are winning numbers.

To Be Or Not To Be: The Era of Iverson’s Nuggets

This crazy writer thinks the Nuggets have a prayer. AI may still be the answer, though I find that hard to believe with Kobe leading in the minds of many as MVP!

BDG posted 4/21/2008 from www.clublakers.com

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 ...

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?
