Denver blew a lot of chances to build a good lead. I think the Lakers are going to handle them in the 2nd half.
Compare to last season, the nuggets' defense is much improved, but it is still not at the level of the rockets' defense.
Watching this game, you have to appreciate Shane's defensive. As much as I hate the Lakers, I want them to beat the Nuggets. I hate those punks.
nuggets missing some fts and its their better shooters too man i dont get the officials melo gets a T for a questionable call for slapping his hands together kobe starts jumping up and down and slapping his hands right at the ref too and no T. i know this stuff happens all the time but its just frustrating how much of a leash is given to kobe when it comes to a T compared to other players
The Lakers are playing dumb defense. Bynum left his head at home. Melo is hot, but Ariza has to play him tougher and smarter. I just checked the box score and the fouls are 17 to 13, not much difference.
look at melo wrong 30 feet from the basket, foul. hammer kobe in the post or on the drive, play on. tomahawk chop down on gasol or ariza with the ball, clean strip.
