Lakers vs. Nuggets - 2012 NBA Playoffs

Read your article. Dwight didn't sign anything long term. He just extended this mess one more year. That's all. Orlando's just going to repeat this all over again.

 

From Lakers management: "The opinion expressed yesterday by Magic Johnson regarding Mike Brown was his personal opinion and was made in his role as a TV analyst. His words were not made on behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers, and in no way do they reflect the feelings or position of team ownership or management. We are fully committed to and supportive of Mike Brown as head coach of the Lakers.”

My gut feeling is the Lakers will win tonight. Main reason is doubt about the Nuggets. I think the occasion will get to them and they won't be the same team we saw in games 5 & 6. But if they can hang close until the middle of the 3rd quarter, anything can happen.

The winner's schedule against OKC is out and the first 6 games are a meat grinder that includes a back-to-back. It's Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Mon/Wed/Sun. Why they have a back-to-back yet game 7 would be 4 days after game 6 escapes me.

 

Maximizing TV viewership

 

Game 7 here we go.

 

Yippee, who ready to see da nba hand LA lakers another game 7 on a silver platter in LA.


REMEMBER ROCKETS 09' ANYONE?

Plus / minus minutes before Laker fans start booing their team?....like the last game in LA.

 

Who cares.

Thunder will run over either of these two teams.

 

I care about Lakers fans getting pissed off

Besides that I don't give a **** about this series

 

yep.....but seeing the Lakers lose in the first after being up 3-1.......is a nice thought.

 

Meh....TNT overtime online stream is out of sync. Audio is delayed.

 

Unforced turnovers will haunt the Nugs later.

 

Galinari and Faried need to stop trying to run fast breaks.

 

Same here.

 

Agree with Steve Kerr that it is surprising both teams seem so loose and free at the beginning. This won't last.

 

Try refreshing the TNT stream (or changing cameras).

 

nevermind, just realized mine is behind as well.
