hope that JR can actually do something... and that we see less and less of AC.

The good thing is, one has been taken on the road. Lakers are supposedly a great road team, and have no trouble holding concentration in Pepsi Center. I think the fans need to alter that a bit. Make the arena so damn loud they'll never forget it.

What the Nuggets need to do to win: Its hard telling if this team can play much better than it did in the first two games of the series, besides the poor free throw shooting in game 1. The Nuggets were much better from the line in game 2, and that was a big reason they were able to hold off the Lakers late in the 4th quarter. Anthony and Billups are causing havoc to the Lakers, and it might get even better with the Nuggets heading to their home floor. Both Martin and Nene are playing great inside defense, and they have got great play out of Chris Anderson when he comes in off the bench, and it will really help there chances if these guys continue to make life rough on the Lakers big men. I don’t know if you can count on Kleiza to come in and shoot like he did in game 2, so I strongly believe the Nuggets are going to need a much better game from J.R. Smith. As long as the Nuggets keep the intensity level where its at, this team is going to be in every game the rest of the way

GK lost this game for the Nuggets, Martin for the inbound, that was a joke!

Someone was right about GK making stupid mistakes at crunch time

Next game, Nuggets must win

Sucks for you guys, another classic example of the refs screwing LA's playoff opponent.

JR guarding Kobe with the game on the line? Seriously? I mean, the kid did well on him, but you know Kobe is going to take advantage of that mismatch.

I don't know why Melo went back to his perimeter game. Trevor is at an advantage out there.

Nuggets shoot under 40% from the field and in the teens from the three-point line and then have two of their main player foul out and no one on the team shoots well other than Nene and Birdman. I just can't blame the inbound pass on this game. This came down to Chauncey, Melo and JR all playing a poor game at the same time. Yes, Melo got to the free throw line, but he wasn't making shots after the first quarter and started racking up fouls.

I still think they can win this series because it's taking superhuman basketball from Kobe, however, the Nuggets are going to have to shoot better. There is no excuse for them to score 97 points against the Lakers. If they hit even 4 of the wide open 3's they missed, they would have 109 points. JR was frickin 2-10 out there. I mean that's awful (and Chauncey was pretty bad himself).
