Title: 2008 Playoffs ~Los Angeles Lakers (57-25) vs Denver Nuggets (50-32)~ Round 1.
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on April 16, 2008, 11:26:35 PM
Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers
Round 1, Game 1.
Sunday April 20nd, 2008.
12:00 PM (Pacific) on ABC.

I really don't see how Denver stands a chance. They have individual talent, but 0 defense. Their tempo is terrible for playoff basketball. I can see Denver getting a win in, but I smell SWEEP. Utah is next. 8)

Lakers in 6.  They could sweep but lets remember how talented Denver is, thats why I could see them winning a game or 2.

I'll quote what I said in another thread.
Don't count on a Mavs-Warriors type upset. The Nuggets got a lot of talent, but aren't touching the Lakers. You can't win playoff games with such lame defense.

Lakers win series 4-1.

melo can score on and can gaurd kobe , he has the length to do so

i dont see this as a cakewalk gonna be a tough matchup

iversons going to expose the weak D at the PG position

Cambys on Gasol.. you know gasol's a finesse player not really a power type of guy

look for the nuggets to tighten up defensively , Defense is all hustle , remember in the playoffs players earn their paychecks..
this is where it all begins THE REAL SEASON

where teams like the rockets and the hornets will get exposed, the jazz also

its very important that the lakers take this first game. The worst thing to do with teams like the nuggets and suns (good offence zero defence) is allow them confidence which would happen should the lakers lose the first and subsequentley lose homecourt. Expect iverson too torch the lakers tho.

Nothing to add. Them three are litterally saving our asses from a Dallas Maverick-esque pathetic 1st vs 8th seed home loss. I expect Kobe to step it up in the 2nd half, we can't loose this one.

P.S. The Odom to Gasol connection is just a wonderful pleasure to see for my eyes.

Big props to the Lakers front court. Check it.

C Gasol: 36 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists
PF Odom: 17 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists
SF Walton: 16 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists

And all 3 of them shot above 55%.

Am I right or what? Downplay the Lakers... like yall niggas weren't the first guys to nitpick on the Suns... it's not even that the Lakers have it easy now... they should have it easy as a reward for finishing first - that's not the problem. What bothers me is the Nuggets... they have so many individually capable players out there, a likeable coach.. and they play like shit. Really, they do. It makes me sick.

Great win!
Always a + to get that first one under the belt.
Gasol was  :o
Odom, gave me a scare when he was holding his knee.
Just a Knee bump with another player tho, But lakers can't do it without Lamar..
Kobe will get his, regardless. (Even on a off night)

Mavs, will eventually win the series against the Hornets. (IMO)
No need to fear that!. (Mavs fans)

Gasol Was Great..he's 1 of 3 Lakers to have a 36 pts, 16 reb, 8 assist, game in the playoffs....(J.Worthy & EBaylor were the other 2)  :o.........If we had Kwame he would of had....5 pts, 4 reb, 5 TO's & 4 miss dunks  :D..

Kobe needs to chill on those shot attempts, there was no reason for him to have 26 FGA's....Gasol should of had 45 pts in this game.

We need to play better Defense on Linas Kleiza & J.R. Smith....They scored to many points on a High %...

I think Phil needs to play Luke more minutes....Nuggets couldn't handle him in the post.

He's taking too many jump shots. Contested ones at that. He had K-Mart on him, take him off the dribble.

it's not so much what he scores, but how efficiently he scores. dude in the first half was missin some of "his" shots and FT's. He caught fire in the 4th but luke walton was more on point,lol.  again he's gotta score efficiently not necessarily frequently.

(EDIT: wow, wen i post the pics they come out looking retarded and massively huge, can anyone fix it?)

Everyone knows that the Nuggest aren't known for playing much defense, but you have to give credit to the Lakers for spreading it around so nice and taking advantage. Even when he wasn't scoring much, Kobe opened up so much by bringing Martin out on the perimeter, and turned it on in the 4th to put them away. Denver is a perfect example of why defensive stats can be misleading, they have great steals and blocks numbers, but they give up high percentages and a lot of points. Anything is possible if they actually make an effort to defend and 2 starts who could go off, but I don't see that happening. The Lakers are too good for them, bring on Utah.

Exactly...excellent analysis. Denver leads the league in steals and blocks, but still play one of the shittiest defenses in the NBA. Kenyon Martin had to leave the post to guard Kobe, leaving Camby as the only defense on TWO bigs with excellent passing ability. :-X

I happen to believe if they were playing a different team, they wouldn't look so "pathetic." Pathetic teams don't win damn near 50 games. If they concentrate on the inside, Kobe eats em up. If they concentrate on Kobe, Lamar and Gasol kill em'. Plus you've got Fisher and even Walton hitting shots. The Nuggets are at a loss at what to do because they are playing a Championship caliber team.

Damn you guys are really fucked up. I mean it's like you can't live without those stupid stats. Watch the damn games, man. Who the fuck cares about his assists per game stat? I mean he probably averaged more "open shots allowed" than assists, so what's the fucking point? In this game you win if you score at least 1 point more than the opponents. So you have to score AND defend your points. If you don't, you're like Steve Nash, 1 side only. Iverson can't play D (correction: doesnt want to play D), he doesn't care about involving his teammates (fuck those assists: he's the PG and he takes the ball in every fucking action his team has made, from the past 10 years. Obviously he's gonna average 6 assists per game in his career..). That's not the point, tho. He was the team captain of the Olympic team of the USA, and he failed. He was embarassing the whole tournament, and the USA won just the bronze. In Philadelphia he's had one great season, but then he was never able to build a contending team around him again. In Phila he used to play alone. Now they've traded him and Phila is about to be the surprise of the year, being 2-1 against the Pistons. And watch the Nuggets. Iverson's record in the Play Off with Denver is 1-7. And i don't even wanna continue. Overrated. Not a (winning) leader.

yes, finally someone says it....  I really don't see the big deal and have never seen the big deal

all you're gonna get from Iverson is a high scoring average on the year

he's an all-star, superstar, yes, but by far he is overrated

it's annoying watching Laker games and hearing the OG Stu Lantz kissing up to Iverson  ::)

"so much heart, warrior blah blah"  that's the only dude he's talked about that and I just don't get it

if he had so much heart he wouldn't have voluntarily gotten kicked out of Game 1

and bein a no-show for Game 3 when you're season's on the line, and being guarded by players with less of a step

The last year or two in Philly and his time in Denver have made him look like ONLY a good scorer, but let's also remember that he took a team with no other players that I would consider stars to the Finals, and gave them a slight chance because of his clutch performances and determination. People also love how he would drive to the hole with no regard for his body, especially since he is such a smaller player. So while everyone is praising the 76ers for going up 2-1 and now that they are tied in the series with the Pistons, don't forget that Iverson has gotten way past the first round. The entire Nuggets team hasn't really shown that same intensity, maybe it's because they don't have a defined leader, they all think they run the show. The Lakers have had them looking demoralized, we'll see if they even bother to show up for Game 4.

I said it: he had an excellent year, in Philly, in 2000. He was still 25 years old tho. He didn't improve. But look, that year he had Larry Brown as a coach, and he played in a defensive minded team with 4 defenders on the floor and with him playing SG, basically caring only about scoring. In a situation like this one, and in a less competitive Conference, he can do damage. But the Nuggets are the opposite: an offensive team, with no defenders but Camby, and Iverson is playing PG, mostly. In a thought Conference. He has no chance. He needs 4 defenders on the floor and a wack Conference. And he has to play SG. That's the only way for him to have a good season (and fuck stats, i know he can score).

Even with the poor play by Denver, I got to say I'm impressed with the team consistency in this serie ...
