You gotta admit that the old Denver Nuggets have come along way.
Who would’ve thought that Magic Johnson would be saying that the Lakers should be feeling good about a tied home game against the Denver Nuggets in a 2-2 WCF?

In case you didn't know....................
As far as a majority of Laker fans are concerned, Magic Johnson is quickly becoming persona non grata around here.
For a player who has flown the Laker banner for so long to now become a complaining, Benedict Arnold constantly calling out Laker players in the media to further his attempted “broadcasting” career has definitely changed his status with fans and the media around here.
We never thought it would happen.

Thanks for the update. At least I got here in time for the second half.

Got my rum cocktail....
put it in a Superbowl 33 glass. Gotta conjure up the mojo.
It's not the Lakers I hate with every bone in my body, it's just the players and their fans.
Wilbon is a tampon.
Can I say that?
He’s saying that the fact that the Lake show is tied at half when Pau and Kobe hardly got any touches is a good thing for the Lakers. Making the assumption that the help is going to continue to score and on top of that, Kobe and Pau are still going to get their 40 and 20.
I say Props to the Nuggs for limiting their touches. Keep it up and these secondary buffoons will crack under the pressure.
This is where I buy TP...

You can say that...

It's not the Lakers I hate with every bone in my body, it's just the players and their fans.
What was the problem in that first half....
Turnovers….
Poor transition defense lead to some easy hoops for the Lake Show.
And…
3 pretty random fouls on Chauncey?
What else?
Keys for the 2nd Half
1. Need to regain control of the defensive Paint
Odom and Bynum, are posting up more and more. This is where we need Kenyon on Odom and Nene on Bynum to crowd the box a bit more to force more jumpshots.
2. Careful contact
The Refs have their sensitive whistles so we need to be more careful with the contact, and be smarter when defending (See LK fouling Bynum as he was dunking)
3. Interesting Player Rotation
Even though it was for only a minute, I could see some interesting matchups with the lineup of Chauncey, LK, Anthony, Birdman, Nene. Birdman on Gasol seems to somewhat work and LK on Ariza and Anthony on Kobe has been interesting this series.
4. Score more points than the Lakers.

Just wanted to throw this out there as a Rockets fan...
I hate the Lakers. I hate the freakin bandwaggoning fans that can’t even tell you more than two players on their team, just like them because they “won championships.” Especially when said “fans” live in Houston. Gasol’s entire game consists of camping in the lane, catching rebounds above his head and dunking. That’s it. If he posts, it gets stripped or he misses more often than not. Odom is only good on break aways and when he’s left open (ie – he stinks unless there is a star player – Kobe – taking most the defense). Vuja thinks he’s tough. But he makes Scola look like an MMA fighter. I hate the Lakers. Make their butts look like a baboon’s. Please.
Uh oh, refs starting to take over for LA. And I do mean FOR LA.

I said I "think" 99% are bunk.
I was stating my opinion.
And I’m not disputing that one official was caught fixing games. We both know there’s proof of that. What there isn’t is proof that it’s more than just one guy.
But whatever, I’m never going to be convinced, and neither are you.
no reason to watch then...
basically you and half the people here sound like they believe this is fixed and rigged about as much as Vince McMahon’s dog and pony show that got pushed out of Denver for Monday’s game…maybe we really just saw a different kind of circus with the NBA…if it’s rigged, why watch?

you'll keep watching though...
because in reality you know that if this was rigged…Cleveland wouldn’t be down 3-1 right now…because Bret the Hitman Heart would’ve tagged in for Lebron and won the game with a flying leg drop to Dwight Howard :D
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Lebron can't win it this year, or next
or else, how’s the NBA gonna get him to move to New York?
The NBA must also establish that Kobe IS the anti-hero, and he’ll never win another title. So who wins? Why Dwight Howard and the Magic. And it works in SOOOO many ways.
1) Howard is in a minor dispute with the last best big man in the NBA, Shaq, over who is the real Superman. By winning a title, FOR Orlando, Howard proves he can do what Shaq could not.
2) The NBA needs it’s big men. Although the sport may seem more geared for smaller players with hand checking rules and the prominence of wing players (LBJ, Kobe, Wade, Melo… even back to Magic, Bird, and MJ), big men still rule the sport. And finding athletic 7 footers willing to put 15-20 years of hard pounding on their weaker bodies is not easy. But it is if you have superstar CHAMPION big men.
**Note I really don’t believe any of the above, but it’s amazing how sometimes it can seem like Hollywood made this stuff up.

Do remember that Mike Breen got his start
being Don Imus’ punching bag, so that should be factored in.

Oh that is funny Mike Breen
they are letting them play except when someone stands in front of Gasol or Ariza goes to the basket and is barely touched and score anyway. Sometimes these announcers drive me freaking nuts!

By them
He means the Lakers. They are also not letting the Nuggets play. Especially Nene, who fouled out tonight with 3 legitimate fouls.

Chauncey
He’s throwing horrible passes and not making any plays. If he gets back in the game there is still a chance to pull this one out
And im sorry whoever says this game isn't fixed or at least 90% tilted...
should look at the last minute couple of minutes. Kmart HACKED, MELO HACKED! And they are letting them play alright…letting the LAKERS get away with murder.

Hitting Melo in the face is not a foul.
It's not the Lakers I hate with every bone in my body, it's just the players and their fans.
seriously then...
why watch??
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Because you start out the game
hoping that this time the refs won’t show you the elevator and give you the shaft.

What, they should have the postgame outside Pepsi Center?
When the game is in LA? ESPN already has anchors in LA.
They have a West Coast Sportscenter
So some of their anchors don’t have to stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. in Bristol

Theyve been biased all series and all game...
just like the refs…the post game is the least of the problems. They can hold it wherever…All they want is Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant, and Phil Jackson…who they love and drool on all night long.

There is some serious 1984 stuff going on with the announcers

Only Hubie Brown criticizes the officiating when its bad
Because he’s old enough that he doesn’t give a damn if the NBA asks ESPN to fire him for doing so.

speaking of 1984....
this was just a foul call in 1984 I believe…not a tech, not a flagrant..just a foul…crazy how things have changed.

Oh it is time to go to DEFCON 5 in the press conference
Let me start out by saying that this officiating crew is the biggest pile of horses**t I’ve seen for many years. How is it right or fair that we have to contend with the best team in the West and three blind mice too . . .

Well Nene was all kinds of worthless - He goes into a shell on the road
Then again, when you are T’ed up and given a foul for looking at Kobe then I guess I would be too.
Let's just move on and focus on the next game.
We now need to win two in a row, which neither team has done in this series.

Nene and JR not showing up was probably why they lost
Going for 11 points combined will NOT cut it. JR jacked up 10 threes, made 1. Yikes…
Personal fouls: DEN 30, LA 22 (Phil Jackson pulled the ref card after last game….)
Let’s see how the Nuggets do at home.
Turnovers killed them too

Yes this...
I know they are both great players and I have never denied that, but the media drooling over them makes me sick. It’s one thing if it’s the hometown announcers, but on supposedly neutral nationwide coverage it is just sick. Plus it goes against team basketball which is part of why the Cavs are losing their series.

Yep.
Laker fans thought the Rockets series was going to be four games. Then they took game one, so it was definitely going to be a 5 game series. Oops, they almost lost the thing to a beat up team missing 3 of its best players. Whoopsie daisy. Kick em in the throat next game. Good Luck Denver. I am pulling for you.
