Poll: Lakers vs. Nuggets

I like the meteorite to make justice. But meteorites are random bitches. So ill go with Denver in 6. We saw what a couple of 6’7 burly forwards can do to the lakers frontcourt. Denver has a couple of good bigs and Nene is playing like a madman possesed.
Kobe will be relieved to see a guy like Duantey Jones after fighthing against the two headed monster of Battier and Artest (yes Battier counts as two heads) but still the denver guard will only be asked to run Kobe for 30 minutes. Melo can be bothered by Odom and Ariza. But to me the deciding factor is Billups. There are like 35 chris pauls between him and Fisher/Farmar.
I hate the lakers team. I hate denver. But denver has Chauncey, a man who deserves all my respect…… (still im investigating a lot about meteorites)

This is so difficult, because on one hand I really really hate Denver. They’re pompous, arrogant, thuggish, selfish, they’ve built a franchise playing the game the wrong way, they’re perpetually horribly overrated, badly coached, they have terribly uneducated and bandwagon-driven fans, they’re uniforms are stupid-looking, and they’re badly managed.

On the other hand, there’s the lakers. I don’t have even close to enough finger dexterity to type all the reasons why rooting for LA is bad. I’m choosing to simply root against the lakers, and not for anyone. Basketball is dead to me now. And nothing really matters since it’s only a matter of time before “Stern/Kobe/LBJ Finals 2009” tips off anyway.

I took the Lakers in six. Last year Boston got pushed to a Game 7 in the first round by the Hawks, then pushed to another Game 7 by Cleveland in the conference semifinals. Things seemed to work out all right for them last year, and I’m pretty sure they’ll work out all right for the Lakers this year. At least until they reach the finals.

lakers in 7.

the lakers are the better team. if they play like they want it, they would win this in 4 or 5. but they don’t, they lack focus, so denver will take 3 games.

i’d prefer denver to win though. unlike most people on here, i don’t have this almost violent dislike of the nuggets.

Nuggets in 7. Pau is softer than a carebear.

They are not the ones I wanted, but the best I can do for now.

You may say I’m a dreamer
but I’m not the only one.

Thuggets Denver in 6.

Denver vs. Orlando in the Finals. pleaseohpleaseohplease.

I have no idea where to post this link, but I have to post it, because it made me laugh.

Until today, I didn’t really consider what it would be like to have to deal with another L.A. title. I never seriously thought it would happen. Not when they were way in the lead in the race for Western Conference home court, not when they cruzed past the Jazz, and certainly not when Houston took them to 7. But now that they’re in the Western Finals, how can I not contemplate it? Argh.

Arguahaaarrrgrrumbleachoooowwaaaaaaruuuugaaaaaahhhh!

Whew. I’m officially in “Anybody but the Lakers” mode. That even means being cool with the potential headline “Carmelo Anthony: World Champion”. Although, typing that just made my youngest spit up from the other room.

“Sorry, little guy.” The shame. “Daddy’s very sorry, but Manu will make it all better next year.”

Anyone from the east winning it all would be just fine. Just dont go to espn after Lebron wins it.

I hate to add another choice, especially one thats better than then one a decent amount of us voted for, so my apologies…but jollyrogerwilco nailed it. Anyone but the Lakers. Spread the word, all!

well he looks friggin tired.

any team with a mega superstar-ish player (kobe,lebroom,d-wade) sometimes gets into a zone where they completely depend on the star to win the game for them.

team ball is different. which is why denver vs orlando actually thrills me to see that both teams for that matchup would require lots of team ball.

Congrats to all who voted Lakers in 6! Thanks for all of the excellent analysis and votes!
