Well, with all the negative surrounding the team today, there is atleast some positive. Congrats A.I.

Now a loss by G.S. to PHO would ease the day even more.

Justice....lets not get carried away here. Kobe doesn't really get schooled by anybody and even the matchups with Lebron are pretty even.
By the way....Kobe just got player of the month

this is going to be an extremely enjoyable playoffs for any AI fan. we finally get a chance to see the two best guards of the past decade actually go head to head on an even playing field. no excuses. no question of surrounding talent. just to great teams with phenomenal and hyper-competitive guards trying to will their teams to victory. whats even more gratifying is being in the role of underdog. itll make victory even more sweet, proving the doubters and haters wrong. too bad this isnt in the conference finals. but perhaps its more fitting. if LA loses, i wonder if they'll say kobe needs to pass more, do a better job defending quicker guards, or whatever. this going to be great. i expect this to go to six, denver wins.

YOu're kidding yourself if you think their supporting casts are evenly matched. In terms of overall talent they're probably a wash, but Kobe's team is a lot smarter and disciplined and have more chemistry and simply know how to win games more. Right now AI is carrying the Nuggets while Kobe is getting plenty of help.

i agree with part of your post. However, AI has the pieces around him to win. If they pack it in without making it competitive, thats not about talent. Its just a result of them nutting up under pressure. We've seen this team beat plenty of teams that are better than LA. While I didnt expect them to lose the way that they have. I didnt expect this team to win the first two games in LA. I still believe that denver is going to even the series and then take one in LA. I expect this to go the full seven. Believe it!!!
