The only thing that will be interesting to watch is that the Nuggets have the athletic PF's and C's to run with Odom, Pau, and Bynum.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Lakers bigs struggle early as they adjust to matching up with Martin and Nene (as opposed to playing against the slower moving Okur & Boozer and Yao & Scola).

True there will be an adjustment period, but they'll catch on. Over the long haul the Lakers size will over whelm the Nuggets. The Nuggets have had problems with the Lakers front line before. The key for the Nuggets is for Kenyon Martin to contain Gasol, last year he was horrible against him.

I'll never complain against this team again because they remind me so much of how I used to do just what was required to get through some boring courses in college.

Jim Kelly was in the greatest martial arts movie of all time, Enter the Dragon. Whne Bruce Lee asked him when defeat comes, he said he won't even notice it, he'll be "too busy looking good!"

That's true NetsForce, just like Houston we have to turn the Nuggets over also. This will keep Billups kinda in neutral and their offense is solely based on ball swinging.

The only thing that will be interesting to watch is that the Nuggets have the athletic PF's and C's to run with Odom, Pau, and Bynum.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Lakers bigs struggle early as they adjust to matching up with Martin and Nene (as opposed to playing against the slower moving Okur & Boozer and Yao & Scola).

I would not call Boozer slow, maybe he lost a step or two due to that past injury but his game is overall > than Martin. I think Nene is a legit 6'11 (6' 10 1/2") with ferocity towards the rim but unlike Landry has the size to do it on a more consistent basis. Kobe will wear out Nene, Martin, Andersen because the fact that Nugget's perimeter defense is lacking and he will penetrate and make plays. That'll give Bynum, Gasol, and Odom the inside game over Nuggets big. Lakers!!!!

Dominant win in Game 7.
Just what we needed going into another tough series, a great confidence builder.
The Rockets played their hearts out and deserve all the credit in the world. They played the game the right way and came in right off the bat and punched the Lakers in the mouth. I really think with that Game 1 win and the fact that they didn't back down to the powerful Lakers, they got into the Lakers head a bit specially in the games in Houston.
Glad we had homecourt or this would have been uglier.

Very important for the Lakers to jump on th Nuggs right from the start. The Nuggs are very confident. They have dominated both of their opponents so far this postseason. The Lakers need to show up aggressive and with swagger.

Beautiful game.

I can now change the sig to 9-0
for the next time Kobe needs reminding.
