Nobody on this planet is given the Denver Nuggets a prayers chance in this first round series against the Lakers. That's why I believe they have every bit of an opportunity to stretch this series to 6 or 7 games and run off with a series win
There's no pressure on Denver at all, there suppose to get crushed by the more superior Laker Team (I"m not sure how that analysis is possible, the only players on the Lakers team who has experience of being clutch in the playoffs is Kobe and Fisher and the rest of the crew is either inexperienced or have shown no ability to hold gut-check composure in a playoff atmosphere), so the Nuggets will be playing care-free, u best believe that!
We all know the Nuggets have zero team discipline and no-championship type defense to speak of but they can Score with the best, so I'm expecting a 100 plus point a night output from them, lets see if the Lakers can keep up and play like a #1 overall seed!!!
I think they'll prolly get a game or two, but if they dont play defense they wont win. AI scored 51 on us in one game and they still lost by double digits. The Lakers have shown lately the ability to play playoff level defense. And the offense is a thing of beauty when they share the ball. But if the best of both teams show up, I think the Lakers just have more weapons and play better defense, plus having Kobe on top of that with a superior bench makes LA the favorite. Plus the Nugs havent really shown the ability to stop anyone this season, outscore yes, defend no.
LNSU
If the Lakers play only HALF of what they are capable of, they'll still beat the Nuggets in a seven game series. I see the Lakers winning this series in five games at most. The Nuggets, while a good team, are overmatched. This was a bad matchup for them.
I dont no what people dont get there is a huge difference between a playoff atmosphere and a regular season atmosphere everything can change in one night. what happened in the regular season doesnt matter.
I love Iverson to death, his game speaks for itself. he goes out and play hard every night. But Melo on the other hand he act like he dont even want to play. I dont know what his problem is. He need to watch Lebron play maybe he could learn a couple of moves. He really need to get into shape. He has no definition what so ever and cannot run worth a Dam. He really pisses me off with all the jump shot. He need to take it to the HOLE!!! He is too big for that.. Iverson goes to the hole more than anybody on the damn team.. I know Iverson feels like he is playing with the old Philly again.. Fire George Karl He sucks too!!
Game 4 is over and the Nuggets just got swept by the Lakers and everybody on that team, including coaching staff, should be fired and replaced..for various reasons but mainly for this: selfishness; arrogance; individualism; cry-babying and the overall ability to look like a high school J.V. team when it comes to playing defense
George Karl should be fired because the team is no longer listening or responding to his aloof style of coaching; Carmelo Anthony should no longer be considered a Star or Young Super Star on the 'come up' in this league....He's one dimensional, lazy and a '*hit-talker', I now consider 'Melo just a regular NBA Player that's getting way too much $; Allen Iverson should be allowed to play out the rest of his contract and then 'walk' in free agency....His style of play doesn't fit and his attitude is crappy. The only player that might can be spared on that team is Marcus Camby, he plays hard most of the time and he's essentially a 'one-man band' on the court, his teammates can't and won't help because they have no discipline.
I'll give much credit to the Lakers because they played well and they deserve the win but most of the blame goes to the Denver Nugget Players and that horrible coaching staff. David Stern should disband that team (along with a few other select NBA Franchses) and let it be known, they won't be allowed back into the league until they display professionalism on and off the court
