| (6) Denver Nuggets vs. (3) L.A. Lakers Game on Sunday, April 29th at 3:30 est. on ABC.
Lakers took season series 3-1. Close games, and Denver is ALWAYS a team that scares me.. but I believe if we run the ball through the post we will win in five. I think that LA will win both home games, Denver will win one when they go back home, but LA will win game four and take control of the series heading back to LA.
Gonna be a hell of a ride though. GO LAKERS!!!

| to all the haters who had the Nuggets taking the Lakers, or the Lakers having to play 7 to win.. FOR REAL? Like I said, if we run the ball through the post there is NO CHANCE for Denver. Bynum is a titan. Dude is unreal. Pair that with Gasol and the best closer in the game? C'mon man. Unfair.
Still stand by it, Lakers in 5.

Still stand by it, Lakers in 5. | The way you talk about them, they should be a shoe-in for the title. As long as they keep the ball going through Pau and Bynum they have a chance to beat anybody. As soon as Kobe starts thinking he's "the closer" and ball hogs, they are going to be in trouble, Russel Westbrook style. |

Playoff Kobe is a different beast, we all know he is taking 20-25 shots a night, some times for the good, some times for the bad.

In the end, the Lakers will only go as far as Kobe takes them cause with Kobe, there is no other way.

| | smh | Looks like Hill won't play. Will they have to rotate in Gasol and Troy Murphy at the 5? |

| | smh | I don't know what else they can do, losing Ron Ron and Hill leaves them dangerously thin with a physical post presence. |

| | smh | Seems fine enough, but if they manage to wrap up the series early, they'll still be without Ron Ron and possibly Hill for the first part against OKC/Dallas. Not too promising there. |
