Even though you're a Lakers fan, I think you gave a very accurate, non-biased interpretation of the WCF match up. Kobe is a Nugget killer...he loves to shush up all his haters (and he has a lot of them) when he comes to the Mile High City. We could throw Dahntay Jones and a whole block full of Ruben Pattersons (lol) at the Mamba, and he's still going to strike with lethal potency. Everyone knows that he's gonna get his.
What scares me more than anything, as a Nuggets fan, is whether or not we'll be able to contain Gasol and Bynum in the paint. If our BIGS don't play their A+ game, the Lakers will have second chance opportunities ALL DAY! Seriously, Nene's inconsistency on the road frightens me - Andrew Bynum is a million times better than Erick Dampier. And although the BirdMan is our energy catalyst, he's so anxious to stuff everyone's shot - this leads to him fouling out in the snap of a finger, and we just cannot afford this.
This series will be a blast. Let's just hope the refs don't get whistle-happy...
Thanks a lot man, I was hoping Nuggets fans would come on and read this. My brother is a huge Nuggets fans (we've been ribbing each other ever since Game 7 ended) and I've seen a lot of this team. It's not going to be easy, whoever wins. I wish I could apply to ESPN. I just love basketball, and I follow teams more closely than the highlights.
Thanks guys for the comments.
