Also the league likes the Lakers and doesn't give a **** about the Suns.
What does that have to do with anything?!?

Nuggets is a much better team than Minny, who still has a nightmarish match-up against the team that swept them during the regular season with ease. So if you want to defy the law of game theory by ignoring the advantages and disadvantages of match-up with an opponent, go ahead and lose your moolah.

Suns still has a chance to win this series as I got moolah on the Suns due to the great odds on return. Lakers has NO chance against Denver without a lineup change.

The Lakers wouldn’t beat Denver in 100 tries.

I’d rather talk about the highly anticipated 2nd round match ups which should be a blood bath.

Nuggets vs Timberwolves both being undefeated right before they collide would be box office.

Thunder vs Mavs would be fantastic as well.


Yeah this first round is LAME but the second round out West should be fantastic basketball.

"I'm not changing my starting lineup," Ham said Friday after L.A. had a film session in lieu of practice


LeBron hasn't practiced regularly since like, his OG Cavs days. Lue used to brag about how little they practiced in his 2nd stint there.

Thats a big reason why his teams never look cohesive in any way, they barely play together

How many coaches has the Lakers gone through since he has been there? No accountability

Yes, they would based on the time tested mechanics within game theories.

Brandon is probably the most famous die-hard Suns fan. He’s funny but his Suns are done.

Most Laker fans here didn’t even pick the Lakers to win over the defending champs. To answer the OP, I’ll stick with my prediction Nuggets in 5 so I have the Lakers winning game 4.

I actually have both Suns and Lakers losing in 5 games.

Practice what? I’m sure the players are doing their individual workouts. This isn’t the movies, one practice isn’t going to do anything for them.

I’m also sure the Nuggets didn’t go through a hard practice either.

Lakers are getting out executed in the second half of games. Players say they don’t know what they are doing offensively and defensively. Nuggets practiced even though their execution has been at a high level. Wood is apparently ready to comeback and yet you don’t go through practice. It makes no sense at all. Why do you think Nuggets practiced then?

It's just two different situations, the suns have the talent to extend the series at least another game but do they have the heart? The lakers have the heart but if Denver plays their A game tonight I don't think they have the talent to beat them.

May as well make a bet if you are confident since odds of Lakers getting this to a game 7 are +1000.

They watched film. I’m sure they talked about what they need to do and where they need to be. I think you’re overrating practice.

+1000 is a terrible terrible terrible price for that.
