Artest being back in the lineup is the worst thing to happen to the Nuggets. Not because Artest has been helping on offense, but rather, Artest being in the lineup screws up the Nuggets' rotations. It's like Karl and co. didn't even plan for him coming back.
I'm with one of the announcers, the score doesn't feel like it should be as close as it its. Gallinari 1-6 McGee 0-4 Miller 0-6 Yet somehow it is a close game.
Seems like everything going lakers way yet it's a 6 point game if Faried can stay on the floor and gano and miller can make a basket could be a huge upset
Except for Lawson, everything has gone wrong for the Nuggets. They are lucky to be down 6. Should be 16. Gallinari is a joke. He's just a little better version of Boki Nachbar. Lawson needs a running mate in the 2nd half for the Nuggets to win. Lakers may get a chance to put it away early.
Affalo and Faried have been pretty good. But their 3 other main guys (Miller/McGee/GAllo) are stinking up the damn joint. They just need one of those guys to get hot + Lawson/Affalo and they can steal this.
No. I actually think the Nuggets have a better chance. It was a great series last yr b/t Nugs/OKC. And Nugs beat OKC in the last game of the reg. season where OKC still played to win at OKC. The Lakers are too dysfunctional/inconsistent to put up a good fight v. OKC.
I wonder how much the rest OKC has versus the war Denver is fighting with LA will impact the series. Den/LA is going to be dead tired for Monday's game 1.
Wow. Bynum has a weak core. Just saw Andre miller push him out of the paint. The only way he can position is by throwing those elbows and spinning moves.
Game getting away from Denver. They may just have to try the Miller/Lawson line-up despite the size issues with Metta.
