If the Lakers discover the Denver coaching staff shouting out their sets before they run them tonight, they can blame anotherwise innocuous roster move made the morning of their season opener.
That was the day the Lakers trimmed their roster to 14 by cutting guard Coby Karl. The son of Denver coach George Karl has sincefed his father every bit of inside intelligence he garnered during his 15-month stint with the Lakers, in hopes of giving the Nuggets a leg-up in the WesternConference finals.
Among the highlights of the younger Karl's report: tips on containing Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom, a recap of how the Lakerscoaches advised the team to defend Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, and an amusing look inside Phil Jackson's film room before last year's first-roundseries against Denver.
"He told me they had a tape of us that had cartoons spliced in when we would run and get a dunk," George Karl said."They would have a cartoon Mickey Mouse going 'Ouch' or getting hit over the head with a hammer just to emphasize 'we can't let them dothis.' "
A favorite with fans despite minimal playing time, Coby Karl appeared in 17 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 1.8points. He struggled from the perimeter this preseason, failing to beat out rookie Sun Yue for the 14th roster spot.
Jackson downplayed the significance of Karl's info since he hasn't been with the Lakers all season.
"He's a heady ballplayer so he can give his father a lot of things, but the reality is George and I have probablycoached against each other 70 times in our careers," Jackson said. "There's a lot of things we can go back to, look at and know about. He'sfully aware of what we do."
George Karl agreed that he's just getting "four or five points of coaching mentality" from his son.
"We're not going to change how we prepare," he said. "We're just going to gather information, and thestuff that kind of turns us on we'll put on a list."

I'm suprised nobody mentioned that the NUGGETS will probly be RUSTY after being off so long..
I think that contributed to L.A. losing that 1st game to HOUSTON, which changed the whole series..
DENVER with a week off and starting on the road means theyre in trouble....
If L.A. wins the first 2 games its a wrap, i cant fathom DENVER winning 4 out of 5..

I'm not posting in the Cavs thread, except for the laughin smilie, but I'm going to be in every game thread of the Lakers. I will however refrain fromcalling the Lakers soft, heartless, suckas, and disrespectful to basketball, ooops. I'll just post about them getting stomped by the Nuggets.

I think the Lakers take this series due to Pau, Bynum and LO.
Kenyon and Cuban are bickerin' back and forth like schoolgirls, lets gooo lakeshow

The thought of these 3 names carrying a team to a series win would give me the shutters if I were a Nuggets fan.
Not saying it's not possible, just that I never ever ever thought those 3 guys put together would do anything of that value. Maybe I'm the only one.
Denver's gotta know that if they come out and get this game, it will send the basketball world right back into crisis mode attacking the Lakers and heartand coaching, and Kobe and legacies and all that crap. So Denver gotta be hungry for this one. If they come out and let us punch them in the mouth.........Isee that as a REAL good sign for us.
Should be a good series, should be a sorta sloppy game tonight with not too much preparation and all that, feelin each other out, gettin used to the styles andhow to attack and all that. Lookin forward to it though.
Let's get it.

kenyons twitch wouldnt last a minute cena
newbs trying to start a trademark on NT like how i did it...i should bring back my cap L's
whoever thinks that cocky fool jr smith is gonna defend kobe decently is crazy...its gonna take denver being active and alert on team defense as well as theirability to get offensive rebounds for them to beat the Lakers...i think this where fish is gonna be legit in this series...billups is not a fast track pointlike d.will and brooks were this is where fish can body him up...billups is a big guard who likes to play in a half court set and thats where fish i think isat his best on the defensive side not by running around in circles like brooks did...if gasoft and bynum and our frontcourt play big... get rebounds andactually use their size on the inside Lakers will cruise...our second unit has to be legit...i see odom having his way in this series...with that said Lakersin 6 or 7 because denver plays with heart and you cant teach that but honestly if the Lakers learned from last series it should be 5 games but thats not gonnahappen we know that
