[michaeljohn]

Woohoo! Halftme, Lakers 53 Denver 40. Not over by any means, but I like the effort I see so for from LA.

[BackdoorJesus]

although I will say as a positive statement about the Nuggets that I do approve of their team colors

[michaeljohn]

4th Quarter, Lakers 83 Nuggets 67. We've got this, just don't get stupid Lakers.

Kinda NWS:

[BackdoorJesus]

3 minutes to go 23 point lead Lakers


brrrr fridge tiem

jello shooters

[BackdoorJesus]

yes I know I will catch shit for being an asshole now when/if the Lakers struggle in the Finals and much love to joerockhead and his team but damn thats a lot of points.

[michaeljohn]

Final score:

The next World Champion Lakers 119 Denver 92

good series joerockhead. Add another key player and your team will gain from this experience.

Bang.

[michaeljohn]

Magic just said the Lakers will win it all, and Kobe is the best player in the game. Don't call him a Lakers homer, he calls out the Lakers when they deserve it.

Seriously, all the Lakers want is to get back to the finals, and win. The rules say you have to win 3 series first. Look how they closed out the Nuggets. They will take this momentum into the finals.

[joerockhead]

Damn! The Lakers showed up with A Game, and the Nuggets did not.

I was just hoping it would go to a 7th game.

Well Congratulations to the Lakers!

Series was good until Game 6, the Nuggets could not do anything.

Wow, what a difference last night's win did for the Lakers in the fan's polls on ESPN. Scroll up for the earlier ones.:

ESPN.com Poll Results by State

Lakers ahead in nearly every state. Naturally not in Ohio, Florida, and New England States near Boston.

Here's the ESPN poll on the finals by state:

ESPN.com Poll Results by State

Most of the country has picked the Lakers. Against us are:

Florida, naturally
Utah, LOL, bitter Jazz fans.
Most of New England States, but not all. All those Celtics fans don't want Lakers to catch them in titles. Sorry, it's going to happen and then some more!

Michigan remains split, 50-50.

9 of 10 of their sports writers pick Lakers. That's what happened last year too, oops. 7 of 10 picked Lakers over Nuggets and all 10 picked Cavs over Magic....

Halftime, Lakers 53, Orlando 43. So far, we have the 3 ball game of the Magic shut down. All we have to do is keep it up.

at the 3:09 mark of the 2nd, Pietrus was given a 3 pointer. Seemed one or both feet were on the line. Oh well, that's life.

[michaeljohn]

Wow, a blowout. Lakers 100 Magic 75. Kobe racked up 40 points. Bynum did great in his limited minutes. He did fine against Howard. Odom showed up, 14 boards. Lakers in 6. Less if we take game 2.
