Good old George Karl is even curious as to whom everyone is picking as he peers up to the jumbotron for all the blogger and expert picks.
Nuggets Bloggers:
- You know I have Denver in 6.
- Andrew at Denver Stiffs, in the spirit of the summer, has broken out the flip-flops by first taking the Lakers in 7, then re-reviewing himself and taking Denver in 6.
- Jeremy at Roundball Mining Company thinks, "This is going to be an uphill battle and there are plenty of reasons to be concerned, but not all uphill battles are lost." Though he takes the Lakers in 7.
- Nick the Nugg Doctor has written his prescription and says Nuggets in 7.
- Johnny at Nuggets' Nuggetz also is taking the Nuggets in 6.
Lakers Bloggers (Thanks to Timbo for the heads up on the UPDATE:

It’s sort of interesting that most of the people who are taking the Lakers are taking them in seven and most of the people taking the Nugs are taking them in six. That should be worth extra points or something.
"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!
I suppose that not a lot of people are confident that the Nugs could take a game 7 in LA.

That's my thoughts ...
L.A. is 13-1 in Game 7’s … so Denver must win this one in 6 … and what better place to do so than right here in Denver? I’d go ape-sh!t.

Nuggets in 6
Is how this has to play out if we advance in my opinion.
I don’t really want anything to do with Game 7 at Staples. But I bet if you told the Nuggets right now, they could have a Game 7 in LA, they would take their chances….
GO NUGGETS!
Agreed.
I think the likelihood of winning a game 7 at Staples Center is slim, but I sure would like the challenge.
I think Silver Screen and Roll just added about 4 more blogger-votes for the Lakers this afternoon...
My main squeeze is the Portland Trailblazers (Lakers #2), so I’m not really the best example of the defeatism of Lakers Bloggerdom to be trumpeting. Then again, I’m smarter than all those other guys in picking Denver, so there ya go, ha ha!
It will be either Nuggets in 6 or Lakers in 7 — and the former seems to me more likely than the latter. Good to know that I’m voting with Blogfather and Hollinger on this… That gives me some pretty good cover, ha ha.
Have a good series, Nuggets fans. Good luck, but not too much…

BTW, I see that the Denver Post's Woody Paige is calling "Lakers in 7" -- so we're "paired," as they say in Congress...

I'm not sure Woody knows which team is which as this point ... haha
Nah, I like Woody … he’s a Tennessee man.

Ya I know you are a Blazers fan for sure ... definitely recall some comments from you in that regard.
I do quite enjoy your Lakers posts though and look forward to reading them as the series wears on.

Yeah, I do the "Opposition Views" beat for SS&R, so I'll be around over the next couple weeks, for sure...
