Changed it.

[TonyMontana]

I think this is going to be a hard series for the Lakers , so Im going to say Lakers in 4 .
But seriously Lakers in 6 if Carmelo stays Sobber............

[Sportfan]

Lakers in 5 or 6.

[AILebronMelo]

Lakers in 6 as well. But Denver is so damn unpredictable. I think Jr. Smith has to start and less AC for the Nuggets to have a chance.

[AgEnT50]

Depends if Denver plays (ANY D) in this series. . .if they do & J.R. Smith is huge off the bench

Then. ..

I like the Lakers in 7, if not. . .Lakers in 5

[Crooked-I]

Only sweep in the western conference this year.

[dockingsched]

the lakers will not sweep the nuggets. like the nuggets, the lakers have played very inconsistent defense. nuggets are too good to not even win one.

[dockingsched]

it ultimately gets down to luke doing a pretty good job on melo, at least better than vlad or lamar.

EWWWW.

I'll still say Lakers in 6, but if Carmelo gets his head straight, he's going to run riot.

Double EWWWW

Kobe Bryant being guarded by Anthony Carter. Carter is going to lock Kobe up.

as a laker fan, all i can say is that embarrassed to be associated with you

[AILebronMelo]

As a Nuggets fan I disagree I think Odom Length can give Melo problems.

[yunggunz]

If Anthony Carter plays over 20 mpg, the nuggets will be out in 4 or 5. If Carters minutes are limited and JR continues his solid play, it could go to 7.

it never has before. melo's first step is just too much for odom. melo kills lamar. luke does a better job on him.

[Deuce33]

If the Lakers continue to play defense like they have these last 4 games along with incredibleball movement, and low amount of turnovers this will be a sweep. The nuggets play too much 1 on 1 and have no real half court game. Carmelo and A.I. both could go off and still get blown out against the Lakers.
