Lakers or Rockets, who do you want the Nuggets to play

Just a quick poll, I am getting really geeked about the conference finals, but wanted to see who you rather see the Nuggets play.  On one, hand, with the Rockets injuries, I think that Denver matches up very well with the Rockets and could make quick work of them, although I think defensively they are playing much better than the Lakers.  On the other hand, I would love to see the Nuggets destroy the Lakers since I can't stand the Lakers and their fans.  But I think it would likely be a tougher road to get to the finals, since I think that when the Lakers are on, they are very tough to beat, regardless of who is playing them.  So who would you rather play.

Rockets

Just because of homecourt advantage. I think we could take the Lakers in 6 as well. Either team will have a tough time beating the Nuggets.

I said that I don't care.

I do think the Nuggets could beat either team, but I’d rather see Houston. I think it would be a better series. Not only that but if we play the Rockets we can avoid the Laker fans.

Though I was rooting for the Rockets, I’m still glad they lost because I’d much rather see the Nuggets beat the Lakers. I believe they could’ve beat the Rockets too.

The home games will be guaranteed Nuggets wins, in my opinion. They’ll just need to split the games in LA.

THE STIFF LIST (as of 11/20 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: THE NEW JERSEY NETS
The bad get worse.  Starting out 0-12, these Nets are doing a great imitation of the 1997-98, 11-win Nuggets.  I might have to pay someone to take my Nets tickets when they come to Pepsi Center.

STIFF #2: ALLEN IVERSON
I hate to kick one of my favorite players while he's down, but when even the Knicks won't sign you, you belong on the Stiff List.

STIFF #3: THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Richard Jefferson?  Antonio McDyess?  DeJuan Blair?  A healthy Manu Ginobili?  Big deal.  What idiot thought these guys would be neck-and-neck with the Lakers and way better than the Nuggets?  (Oh wait, that would be me.)  

STIFF #4: TRACY MCGRADY
After years of suspect handling of his injuries making it virtually impossible for the Rockets to trade him, McGrady goes head-to-head with Rockets coach Rick Adelman demanding to know what his "future" with the organization is.  Tracy, take your league-high $23.2 million and shut the @#$% up.

STIFF #5: DAVID KAHN
Defiant and stubborn as ever, the Timberwolves "president" defended his offseason moves (you know, drafting two point guards before Brandon Jennings not named Brandon Jennings) by proclaiming that the Wolves will be active during next summer's free agent market.  I just pray that Wolves owner Glen Taylor never fires this guy so the Nuggets have four guaranteed wins each season.
