Rematch of last year’s WCF. Game 1 is in Denver on Saturday. 4 days off for LA.

Seems Both teams are fully healthy ?

Nuggets have the edge here but would not be surprised if Lakers win the series.

Anything can happen. Kevin Garnet said anything is possible.

Can't see this being a 4 or 7 game series. Lakers take at least 1 game. Nuggets in 5.

Just be ready for Lakers to get double the amount of free throws, maybe triple since it's the Nuggets.

Ill be rooting for my Lakers, but its going to be an uphill battle to win more than a game or two against the Nuggets.

My homer pick is Lakers in 6

My realistic Pick is Denver in 6

Weird how things work out. Lakers *win* their play-in game and are rewarded by playing a team who's beaten them 7 times in a row. If they lost and then won a hypothetically easier game, they'd have a much more favorable series ahead of them.

Whens the last time LeBron shot 6/20 and they won a playoff game? Denver should be worried. Barely swept them last year.

I don't think either team wants to face each other this early...

Waiting for the talk heads raving about how Lakers have found the key to win after losing the first game.

The Lakers will totally figure Joker out this time.

EmpireFalls · Post #18 » by **EmpireFalls** » Wed Apr 17, 2024 2:22 am

Denver is going to sweep this imo.

If the Nuggets win, the League is not rigged.

It was a light sweep, the kind you do to pretend you're busy so as not to be asked to do more chores

Who wins?
