PrintWell, so much for pushing a 5-point lead to 8. The Nuggets got some very generous reffing at the end of the quarter, but the Lakers need to fight through it.
Can the Nuggets stay smart and strong under the pressure? We know Billups can, but I'm not convinced about some of their other players. Composure will be key in this final quarter.
Looks like we're in for anothe nail-biter.

Now THAT was a bad foul on Kobe.

Jesus... I need to stop talking about fouls. But the Lakers need to find a way to stop committing them.

that shitty ass defense
is not remeniscent of the play by nene in the first half
its remeniscent of the defensive breakdown in the finals v. ray allen
truly nightmarish
wake up and play some physical ball

Carmelo is an extremely skilled player. If he had "it", I think he'd be better than LeBron. He may find "it" yet...

He’s always smiling sardonically when he gets called for a foul, though. Annoying.

Well, yeah. As I said “annoying”, as a fan. He’s a great player.

Dunkin' Cheerleaders
Yeah, but that's everyone.
Kobe fans love Kobe’s attitude. Lots of other people hate it.
LeBron? He’s the most self-entitled, cocky player I’ve ever seen. He’s all marketing, there’s nothing real about him.
That’s just how it is. If Melo is addressing his issues (and he seems to be), then… look out.
16...15...14...13...12...11...10...9...8...7...

I agree about LeBron. Thing is, you never dislike the antics of the players in your team, because you love them too much for it. At least not in the case of the stars.
I look at Duncan giving the refs that bug-eyed stare of his and I smile. :)

we traded shaq for lamar and others...that was a bad trade...he still had "it"
the others though were very good, especially the last one
not for the money he wanted
without the shaq trade there would be no pau or any trade that came after

I am saying the refs are the reason the Lakers lost.
They played sloppy in the second half and at the end of the second quarter. The refs didn’t make it any easier though….just saying
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers and Nuggets tied 1-1
Meant to say refs "aren't" the reason we lost
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
Lakers and Nuggets tied 1-1
We played too sloppy in the second half especially the 4th quarter.
The refs laid an egg by missing the jump violation. (First in the Dallas game they missed the intentional foul, they missed when Carmelo stepped out of bounds, and now they miss the jump violation)
We didn’t play defense in the 2nd half.
Pau stopped producing on offense and missed FT’s.
Not the end of the world
It sucks, yes. Denver was the team that sacked up and made their free throws this time.
They made their own breaks…Chauncey’s miracle over the head pass to Nene that led to a basket late, the jump ball, and timely free throws. It is crazy how similar game one and game two really were.
Nick Adenhart - 1986 - 2009 R.I.P.
Definitely not the end of the world
And where the heck was Andrew Bynum? Why was he glued to the pine?

Phil has been very questionable in his coaching decisions
Like taking Kobe out with Carmelo and Billups still on the floor in the fourth quarter.
Sitting Drew in the second half.
Andrew was clogging the lane on defense and could have prevented some of the offensive rebounds the Nuggets got late in the game.

“Cleveland finally plays a good team in these playoffs and loses”

i dont understand y bynum didnt play the rest of the game, his presence in the paint early let the lakers get the lead up and then he doesnt get to play anymore, i find that very odd. that and ft misses cost us like they cost the nuggets gm1. seriously, was bynum in foul trouble or am i missing something?
Except Denver hit their free throws
And resolved not to foul Kobe.
Also, I’m shocked every time Billups misses a free throw. And how in the world did he score 27? That was a very quiet 27. Sneaky guy, that Billups.

But now Lakers are on the road and Denver plays extra great at home
Lakers need to keep Kobe attacking Gasol has to keep attacking and Bynum has to get more minutes, I think that was key Bynum on the bench hurt the rebounding, Odam hasn’t showed up yet
This was a fun game, guys, regardless of the outcome. I’m hoping for a long, long series here, as an NBA fan. But good luck regardless, and don’t worry so much. :)
