Lakers-Nugs Game 3: Live Game Thread

For the shoddily written and poorly plotted dreck that it undoubtedly is, the 1984 film Red Dawn has a surprisingly resonant cultural legacy. It was the first movie to carry the PG-13 rating. It was the namesake for the American military operation that captured Saddam Hussein. It even inspired its own South Park parody episode.
The movie, for those who haven't seen it, is about a Warsaw Pact invasion of the United States - ahh, Cold War paranoia... how we've missed you - that begins, for some reason, in Colorado. The Soviet Union and its satellite regimes have emerged as the lone remaining world superpower and decide that their final step toward world domination should begin with hostile armies swarming into the Centennial State and putting the locals in their place.
Today the Western Conference Finals enter their Red Dawn phase. You see those paratroopers on the movie poster? That's who the Lakers are today. They are the superpower in this fight, they're coming to Colorado, and whoever's in their way is about to have a most unpleasant evening. The time is over for the Lakers and their fans to worry about being liked. It's now time to conquer.
Your Game Three thread is after the jump. Take no prisoners, and leave nothing left standing.

While I'm waiting for the game to start
I’ve got the pregame show on mute because Stuart Scott hurts my ears.
Lakers better parachute down with guns blazing. More Bynum/Jordan/UPS and less Fisher/Walton/the shooter formerly known as Machine.

Lakers need a great start and a better finish
They do those two things they win tonight if they fail to do either one the Lakers are in for a lose.

The crowd is going to be crazy
so we need to come out with a good solid start and take the crowd out of the game.
Gasol, Bynum, and Odom need to have good games along with Fisher, who was off Thursday.
Every game has been a stressfull, down to the last second shot and I don’t expect anything different tonight. Come on Lakers, let’s take one on the road.

Pau or Bynum need to get the ball more. When theyre in good position Fish doesn’t get the ball to them instead he opts to dribble around

Why does Fisher dribble around so much now? He’s better when he shoots off a pass. Instead he just shaves time off the shot clock standing around or dribbling then throws up a dumb low percentage jump shot while everyone else stands around and gets no touches

We’re shooting 40% from the FT line (4-10) that’s pathetic.
2 of those FT makes are by Kobe. Pau has 1 FT make and Luke has the other.
How does Fisher miss both FT’s. So now he can’t make 3’s or make shots…. What IS he doing out there?
