Ty Lawson has played as many regular-season games against the Los Angeles Lakers as, well, you have, dear reader. But ask Lawson about the Lakers, and he sounds like, well, you again.
Dude wants to beat L.A.
"I'm already ready to beat the Lakers — it's a rivalry," the Nuggets' rookie point guard said this week. "We've got to set a tone early. Last year they beat us in the Western Conference finals, so this year, we're going to set the tone that we're not taking it this year — we're going to get this win."
"it's a game against the world champions, so it's going to mean a little something more," Denver's Chauncey Billups said. "But it's not like we have to win the game or else we're done."
Tonight's game will have enough marquee matchups to make an onlooker dizzy, but if there's one to focus on, it's Artest against Carmelo Anthony.
"The Lakers have a good way at zoning (Anthony) up — he's not playing against one guy very often," Karl said. "For me, Melo is a simple theory. Big guy on him, go outside; little guy on him, go inside. Get as many baskets and touches in transitions as you can."

Leg wrote:I will be at the Pepsi Center tonight to watch this game!! The crowd should be super loud since i am pretty sure the game is sold out. It wasn't too cheap either...I will be wearing my Iverson jersey, but i went to hobby lobby, scratched out the "Iver" and put some yellow tape with "Law." Ghetto rigged Lawson jersey FTW! (Wasn't an authentic so I dont care about it).
Hope the Nuggets can come out with a lot of intensity and get off to an early lead. We have been struggling in the first quarter so far this year.
Also great game thread. That pic of Carrie is very nice. I agree with DEEP3CL those girls looking down on her are so broke. All of them look like men especially the two right above her. Get them out of there.
Anyway GO NUGGETS!!
What is the spread for this game?
Problem is MHZ, we have some young legs too............is it really going to be that much of an advantage?MHZ wrote:Especially considering the Lakers played last night. Might as well make them run.
