I imagine Bynum will start, to get him back in a rhythm with the starting unit.

Trap game. We'll lose this one.

Also, I fully expect the Nuggets to lose this one, everything is going against them, including the simple fact they aren't as good as the Lakers. I'd love for the Nuggets to make a statement tomorrow by showing they belong on the court with them, however.

I just want to see us compete and play hard. Rebounding will be a huge factor of the game.
Go Nuggs!

Why don't you just come out and say it corona. Just say it. You think Carrie Underwood is ugly, and you always have. You can only keep up the lies for so long.

She is. Put a wig on the picture of Kmart in your sig and you'll have a more attractive "woman" than her. :wink:

You guys are dirt bags. Show a little respect. (To Carrie, not corona)

I'm just trying to bring out the truth. In the three years since he has been here, I have never believed for a second his loyalty to Carrie. It's always been PVG this, ntftw girl that. I just want him to come clean damnit.

But okay, poor timing on my part I will admit....with him coming off surgery and whatnot. I'll just have to go ahead and pull rank, being one of the longest tenured posters on this board and all, at four long years(although he still rapes my combined post count by at least double).

You guys should be more optimistic, with Bynum back they're probably going to be way out of sync on offense plus their bench has sucked lately. I could see Denver winning this game, Lakers might already be looking ahead to the @ Portland game they have the next night.

Why would the Lakers look past one team to prepare for playing another that isn't as good?

BIG, important, National TV Game...

Melo will try to win by himself, will shot 30 balls, K-Mart and Billups too...

Have fun in watching playoff´s preview!

Livingston Strongly Considered Denver
http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/58419/20090409/livingston_strongly_considered_denver/
“I got the feeling it was pretty close,’’ said Karl, who said Denver, which signed point guard Jason Hart on March 3, came in second for the former top prospect who is trying to come back from a devastating knee injury.
“I thought he was a great (prospect),’’ Karl said.

I also like Will Solomon(waived by Sacramento)a lot more than Hart!

Good luck Nugz fans.

I think Bynum's return could play into our favor. The guy has just started five-on-five drills only a few days ago and admitted that his wind was terrible. I think his rust is gonna throw off the Laker's rythm and hopefully his lack of stamina will allow us to get out and run and put up an early lead. Plus I highly doubt he'll be able to keep up with Nene.

With that in mind, we'll still probably lose, although a win would be a huge statement and probably scare the sh*t outta the rest of the west. If we want any chance, JRs gotta be hot and we gotta hope they shoot even half as poorly as the last meeting. I'll be happy with a competitive game.

"Denver, on the other hand, is a tough defensive team masking the same explosive offensive machine of old. That dichotomy isn't only sneaky, it's dangerous." - Bethlehem Shoals, NBC Sports

We got a dichotomy, baby, yeah!

No we're not looking pass ya'll at all. Ya'll have a hell of a team this year, Billups makes denver a quality championship contender. It's going 2 be a good game tonight.
