The thing is, this could be 2-0 Laker easily as well. Lakers make their free throws in the 4th and its a wrap too? Too many hypotheticals.

I agree with most of everything you said but I disagree with the refs. In the fourth they just killed any momentum that the Lakers could possiblymuster. its hard to take the lead and take control of the game when you make a stop or play solid defense only to have the whistle blown. The problem is thatthe Lakers don't have the "reputation" of a tough defensive team and when they try and play that style defense, they get called for it as opposedto the Nuggets and Rockets, the series before, who are allowed more rope to play physical.
The problem was that %@*+ Bavetta and Mark Davis were in the conference finals. Only Steve Javie, Scott Foster, Joey Crawford (even though he's a jerk)Derrick Stafford, Greg Williard and Mark Wunderlich should be allowed to ref in the conference finals. Then in the finals make sure that both Javie andCrawford are involved in those games.

well that sucked to say the least. i just got back from the game.
carmelo and billups did their thing for denver and kenyon martin gave them an early spark. the final two minutes of the 2nd quarter is what sparked denver tothis win. that final two minutes got denver back in the game and in a position to have a chance to win.
the crowd in the section i was in was loud and rowdy though and everyone was on their feet all 48 minutes.
its easier said then done but the plan is to split in denver if not take both games. the lakers need to at least leave denver with 1 win though.
from what i saw after the game, it seemed like everyone got into panic mode but imo theres no need to worry. sometimes people act like the lakers are supposedto be perfect and not lose a game.
i coulda swore in 1988 when they won the championship they struggled in their last 3 series, in 2000 everyone was in panic mode when portland blew them out atstaples in game 2 of the wcf, in 2002 when sacramento went up 2-1 in the wcf everyone started to panic as well. every good team faces some adversity andstruggles but they respond right and correctly.
it's going to be a long wait until saturday but i'm excited and this series has officaly now became a best out of 5 series with denver having the homecourt advantage.
props to denver for hanging in there and getting the win.
saturday will be fun.

You're missing my point. Melo has been carrying the Nuggets. You're so quick to forget that the Nuggets were a lottery team year in andyear out before Melo arrived. Melo turned a lottery team into a playoff squad and Chauncey turned a playoff squad into a contender.

Billups made every single player on the Nuggets better. Hell, he made George Karl a better coach. He did the same with the Pistons. Look at the Pistons afterhe left. He understands the game in and out.

No offense, but it doesn't mean much to just get into the playoffs if you don't make any noise. Almost better to just miss and take the lottery pick,than get swept. And I haven't been trying to rag on Melo. I've just been saying Chauncey doesn't get enough credit for the success of the Nuggets.

I wonder how AI feels about the whole situation now that the Nuggets are competitive in the WCF.

The reason why this thread isnt 100+ is cause of the "Lakers Fans are the worst" post. Right after the game I hit my post limit
and I'm sureother laker haters did to

I used to believe that was true during the Jordan & Shaq golden years. But his trackrecord in his last 2 finals have been [barkley] TURRIBLE [/barkley]
Ran through in 5 by Detroit in 2004 when the Lakers were heavily favored.
Ran through in 6 by Boston last year in which Doc clearly outcoached him.
What has he done when he didn't have the 2 most dominant players of the last 20 years on his team? Seems like a lot of his coaching moves since the lastLaker title haven't worked out for him so much. Before that, he was like King Midas, every move he made was pure gold

This is what I'd like to see more from the Nuggets.

i agree with everything you just said, but right now it's 1-1 and it's still a season going on, so theres no choice but to have faith in phil andcompany to get the job done.

Ok, so are you saying Mo Williams is a better player than Pau?Originally Posted by MisterP0315

You're proud of your boy LeBron going to the Finals past a weak East and an aging Pistons team only to get swept by the Spurs. That, my friends, is nothing to use in your argument. More reason to not take you seriously.
Kobe didn't get MVP until Pau? Okay. LeBron didn't get MVP until Mo Williams...who even made ythe All-Star team unlike Pau did in Kobe's MVP year.
Your arguments are so flawed. No one has won chips by themselves and LeBron won't either.

Let's see here.
No. I did not say Mo Williams was better than Pau. But...they were both All-Stars this year.
No. I could care less that LeBron ran through a wide open, weak Eastern Conference. Kobe won just as many Finals games as LeBron did that year.
And all this crap about doing it all himself...
. Okay...his squad wasn't deep but Larry Hughes had his moments, Z and Gooden were decent, and Gibsoncould hit off the bench. Gibson was NOT their 2nd option.
The Pistons were clearly a slower, aging squad. Ben Wallace was the anchor of that defense and bounced. Billups is too small. RIP is too small. Tayshaun is agood defender but LeBron could body preying mantis all day. Sheed isn't going to contribute to help side defense either. Who was going to guard LeBron? Oldman McDyess? C. Webb was the 6th man and could barely run down the court. Maxiell?
Stop it.
What superstar won without an All-Star? Don't worry...I'll wait.

But I doubt he's very upset. We ALL know Detroit would have swept Cleveland if A.I.'s back was 100%.

Not to mention leBRONZE couldn't carry USA to the gold medal until Kobe got there to carry the team on defense
he was barely entering his second season.. and let me know, how much playing time he got?

Hilarity. If LeBron wins this year, that would mean that he needed an All-Star as well...wouldn't it? Try again.Originally Posted by MisterP0315
