PrintThe Lakers have a 3-2 series lead, and they would make their lives 100 times easier with a victory tonight. Of course, winnning on the road when it's not do or die has not been their fortay, so we shall see what happens. Also, it will be interesting to see what Kobe shows up: Kobe the assasin or Kobe the decoy/facilitator? This is your LIVE GameThread – comments update automatically, so share your thoughts all game long.
Go Purple & Gold!
[Ed. Note: The guys at the OC Register on why the Lakers will not win tonight. Let's hope they're wrong!]

Bryant remembers what it was like when the Lakers were ruthless on the road. One of the coldest, greediest shots I’ve ever seen was his 3-pointer that did in the Spurs in Game 2 of the 2001 Western Conference finals, after the Lakers had already stunned them with a victory in San Antonio in Game 1. Afterward, I told Bryant that he’d cut an artery on the Spurs.
“Let ’em bleed,” he sneered, with a look just as dismissive as the one he wore after he made the go-ahead 3-pointer in Game 3 in Denver, the turning point of this series.
Who is that quote from?

It’s the first time he has played on his birthday

agreed
Fisher needs to have a Fisher type game. Just hit the open shots because he is left open all the time.

Nuggets D sucks...

I've vote for hooking his career at this point.

Gasol really contesting on defense. How many blocks is that?

They didnt credit him for the block instead they just called it a missed layup….. Pau has 1, he should have 2
Indeed. And twice as many "changed shots"

Official statisticians are employees of the home court, I think. Blazers are always getting jobbed out of blocks on the road...

Farmar
has no place in this series. He cannot guard or accomplish anything against Chauncy
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Pau Gasol
Is defending the rim like his first born child.
Toughness shmuffness. He’s not Shaquille, but he can get the job done.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Bynum and Gasol are getting their shots...
Just missing most of them. It’s okay I like how we’re executing on offense so far.

Yeah, they're getting good looks... The rims will even out.

I really like how Gasol
has started. I really find it hard not to cheer for him.
His only blemish is that he cheers for Barcelona while I absolutely love Manchester United
He being from Barcelona and all...

Does bynum really need to foul like that?

JVG: "I feel bad for Bynum."
Not me. He needs to learn to play goalie without fouling.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
I'll agree.
It’s much more valuable to contest the layup and give it a chance to go in (even if its like 50 50) than take a foul that puts him on the bench. Let’s hope LO steps it up.

Is it me or do the Nuggets look hesitant?

I like when Trevor does that.

They're really letting Trevor go to work...
He’s doing a good job of taking advantage so far.
I don’t get why George Karl loves the double so much. Lakers have made them pay off of it all series.

They are rolling out the puppet ads tonight... Getting worried about LBJ's team...

Ariza playoff career high tonight?
I’ll take that shot from Kobe. 3 seconds left no one was open. Good start overall. Good defense at least.
