Lakers brick 13 free throws. Their letting it go mentally. They think they have the game in the bag.

It amazes he how Karl still had a job.. He's the main reason why the Nuggets don't take defense seriously..

The coaches give you a plan. It's up to the leaders of the team to enforce it.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the Nuggets idea of offense is watching Anthony and Iverson take turns going 1 on 5 and sometimes driving and dishing.

Lakers are definitely an elite team. But my goodness. Denver can't do better than this? Even as a true 8th seed you would figure that you can get blown out in 3 straight playoff games. I can't believe people thought Denver was gonna be a legit contender when they traded for AI. Gratz to the Lakers on their imminent sweep btw.

Phil is weird. He usually does this all the time but he didn't this time. Another one of his whacky mind games?

You want to understand why Denver got blown out again?!?

Its very simple.

Marcus Camby, lead the Nuggets in every category outside of scoring.

Unfortunately for the Nuggets, Karl's gameplan is to try to outscore the other team.. He doesn't enforce playing defense as a priority.. Switch Karl with Larry Brown and you have a title contender..

The Nuggets shouldn't be THAT attrocious on defense.. Outside of Melo, AI and probably JR the team has some good individual defenders..

Just a solid, solid win by the Lake Show

Like in the regular season, continue to have a significant edge on Denver

Denver really has to address their issues in the off-season into pre-season...

Yeah they should have thrown in klieza in the Artest deal. Man. They would be a different team right now that defense on the perimeter.

Lakers are just rolling right now. Solid win for them, although it seemed rather effortless.

Charles was right; Denver needs to play with more passion and a sense of urgency.

I thought Denver could actually upset the Lakers in this series. I was wrong. Kobe and the Lakers are just too good for them.
