Series: Lakers 2 - Nuggets 1
Tipoff: 7:00 p.m. MOUNTAIN
A note to anyone going to the game ... give yourself extra time to get into Pepsi Center. Mandated metal detectors have been installed just inside the doors for each individual to pass through. It took me roughly 20 minutes to get into the arena and I missed the tipoff because of it ... whoops.

Do any of you really think that the Nuggets are going to win the series?
There was so much braggin about how K. Martin stopped Dirk in the last series as if somehow that was going to equal the Nuggets beating the Lakers. But, all of you forgot one thing and that was that Dirk didn’t have Kobe. Many of you thought that it was amazing that Melo was scoring such high numbers. But many of you didn’t consider that in a playoff series he had not faced Kobe. Wish all you want but either way the Nuggets have to go through the Lakers.

Gee, you're right, we're doomed!
Do I think they’re going to win? I don’t know. Do I think they can? Absolutely. We wouldn’t be fans if we didn’t think they could. I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish by trying to get us to profess lost hope in our team. Root for your team all you want, but don’t think we’re going to stop believing in ours.
And as for Melo, he did get high numbers against Kobe in the first two games. He didn’t in the 3rd, but that doesn’t mean he can’t again, and it certainly wasn’t just because of Kobe.

Here's the problem I have with this statement.
If you’re right you still look like an ass and make Laker fans look bad. If you’re wrong you look like an ass and a HUGE idiot. Either way you lose more than you gain. I also think the Lakers will win, but the way you word it you have no upside here.

You have to love how Cleveland is down 2-1 and Denver is playing tough but the media is just peeing themselves over a L.A. vs. Cleveland finals.
Makes me sick.
Pickaxe & Roll.com: 5,280 reasons to be a Nuggets fan
Come on Nate. The media has been playing the Kobe/LeBron angle all year because they’ve been 1 – 2 in the MVP talk and their teams had the best 2 records in the league. Denver and Orlando weren’t even supposed to be here technically (Boston and San Antonio were initially thought as serious challengers) so if anything I’d think you’d rather see them stick to their guns and look like asses if it does turn out to be a Nuggets vs. Magic finals than to see them bandwagon it and start talking up how they really saw Denver as a “darkhorse” but they just didn’t mention it. That would make me even more sick.

I think the better question is……………………….
Where were YOU last game?
After it became apparent that it was going to be a Nuggets loss, you dissappeared! Were you out looking for those Laker car flags again?

Apparently you haven’t listened to any of the pressers after the games or read the interviews with the players.
