Well MJ, The history of the Lose Always Lakers is far better then that of the Denver Nuggets.

But then again, the Denver Nuggets are FAR better then the Houston Rockeets.

The Nuggets will be a much tougher foe, and Kobe and his team had better play hard every minute, because the Carmelo and his team will not quit.

Look out my friend, the Nuggets just might take it!!

Nuggets 4-2

And I will be at Game Three!!!!! YEAH!!!
Sorry, no pics from that one, it is a Saturday night, and we will be drinking to celebrate our 2nd victory of the series!

I dunno. We had our wakeup call. But really, the Houston series wasn't as bad as people make it out to be:

Game 1: Houston played a near perfect game and responded every time we got a lead.
Game 2: Typical Lakers victory
Game 3: See game 2. Also, a road win. we were the best road team in the NBA this year.

Now, Yao goes down. What has Houston got to lose? Keep in mind, when Yao was on the bench in game 2 in foul trouble in the second quarter, the small Houston lineup led them back from 15 points down. Teams without a big guy require different preperation. See the Lakers in NBA finals game 6, 1980 when Kareem was out with a sprained ankle. Magic scored 42 points and played every position, even jumping center. Lakers won.

So, Houston turns it on in game 4 with nothing to lose.
Game 5: Lakers rout. We solved the small Rockets lineup. Phil Jackson even said we hadn't won anything, just assured a game 7 if needed would be in LA.
Game 6: Nothing for Houston to lose again, and really, nothing for the Lakers.
Game 7: Lakers rout the Rockets.

I think the Lakers will win both games 1 and 2, and split 3 and 4 in Denver. Heck, we will split in Denver even if Denver wins one of the first two. This means you will have to win two game in LA. I don't see that happening. However, what do I know? I'd be in Vegas making millions if I knew it all.

Take pictures anyway! Have a blast and wear a Webrats T-Shirt!

Early ESPN polls. The west seems pretty even. Disparity in vote totals must be due to late hour of Magic vs. Celtics finish:

Overall NBA champion, votes 31,972: ESPN.com Poll Results by State

Western Conference Finals, votes 122,877: ESPN.com Poll Results by State

Eastern Conference Finals, votes 7,240: ESPN.com Poll Results by State

All 10 of the ESPN Experts pick Cleveland to beat Orlando. 7 of 10 pick the Lakers over Denver. At least one of the latter is a Celtic homer, Tim Legler.

I have a feeling it will be Lakers vs. Magic in the finals. I don't mind if it's Lakers vs. Cavs. I do mind if Lakers lose to Denver, but oh well, what can I do about it?

WWE signed the Agreement back on August 15th of 2008, the Nuggets will have to pay $$$$$$$$$

Bet the NBA never saw this.

My Bet.....Nuggets vs Lakers Game 4 - Tuesday the 26th!!!

***michaeljohn*** · 05-19-2009, 11:59 PM

Wow, what a first game. Lakers 105 Denver 103. Denver is for real it seems. However, so are the Lakers. Should remain a great series! Let's go Lakers!

MrEfrisk · 05-20-2009, 01:13 AM

Denver pretty much blew an opportunity. They would have had this game won if it werent for their horrible free throw shooting.

***michaeljohn*** · 05-21-2009, 07:54 PM

back on topic....Lakers and Nuggets start game two in just over an hour. I look for the Lakers to win this too, they will adjust and get more touches for Gasol, Bynum, and Odom. As I said before, I think the Lakers will split in Denver as well. We'll see....

I actually picked the Magic to beat the Cavs at the "other" site. We'll see about that one too.

***michaeljohn*** · 05-21-2009, 11:54 PM

good game for Denver. We had a chance to tie in the end, but didn't. Looks like it will go 7 games now. Time to see what this Lakers team is made of, again.

Here is my IP - 3.54.33.165

Who cares if an IP is posted, BFD!!

Now, lets get back to the thread idea of Sports and Basketball!!

Since this should be about the teams currently playing, no further discussions will be allowed!!

Cleveland, Denver, LA, Orlando are the only teams that can be discussed.

Anyone else whine and cry about anything but these teams in the playoffs this year (2009), then you will be banned by me!!!

(No, I am not a moderator!!!!)

So..........

I had to freakin Work on Thursday night, and had no access to any TV!

I did not get to see my Denver Nuggets beat the LA Lakers!!!

I will make up the difference when we play Saturday night, and I am there yelling like a good fan!!!! Go Nuggets!!!

Hmm, Game 1 - Lakers (0-1)
Game 2 - Nuggets (1-1)
Game 3 - Nuggets (2-1)
Game 4 - Nuggets (3-1)
Game 5 - Lakers (3-2)
Game 6 - Nuggets (4-2)

Nuggets win!!!!! I am pretty good at predictions, and yet, Cleveland lost at home (only 2nd time this year), the Nuggets know it can happen here, yet will not allow it!

Oh Yeah!!!

***michaeljohn*** · 05-22-2009, 11:54 PM

wow, who saw the finish tonight in Cleveland? If anyone says the NBA is fixing things, they suck.

Let's review. Favorites Cleveland and LA could both be down 2-0, but instead are tied 1-1 and headed for the road.

This is anyone's year it seems. However, I still like the Lakers chances. We also haven't lost 3 in a row all year. On the downside, many times we have lost the playoffs, we lose 4 in a row, even after a win or two. I like the Lakers chances to beat the Cavs, but not so certain at this point about Lakers vs. Magic. At this point I like Denver over the Cavs, and no clue who would win if it's Denver vs. Orlando.

time to see what every team, player, coach, and fan is made of!

joerockhead · 05-23-2009, 08:30 AM

Up by 23, only to be down with no real time!

What a Clutch Shot!!!

Even Lebron looked surprised it went in!
