Nuggets over Lakers?

assuming LA wins, any value in the Nuggets?

LA hasnt impressed me anymore then they did in the regular season, theyve look unbeatable at times, and other times look mediocre.

obv Kobe v Lebron would be the highest ratings ever, IMO, because everyone knows Kobe and Lebron. but that doesnt always work that way. seemed destined for manny v red sox in WS, or Favre to take on the Pats dynasty in SB 2 years ago. just because its what everyone wants, doesnt mean its going to happen.

LA has a waaaaaaay bigger chance of losing then then Cavs do, Lebron is on a level all to his own right now.

Melo v Lebron not as big, but at one point is was a rivalry.

series price guess, LA -300?

Lakers Are The Lakers And Like You Said It Would Be A Dream Matchup Lebron / Kobe For Ratings And All The Blind Money.... But Noone Is Saying Anything About The Other Possible Matchup Of Chauncey Vs His Former Team And Still Champions ~~ Boston Celtics

Game 1 To The Laker/nuggets Is Going To Be Pivitol And Crucial For Both Sides But More Importantly To The Nugs On The Road As They Split 2-2 On The Road Although "the No-call 3 Pointer Won One Of Those".... If They Dont Win Game 1 Then Lakers Win This Series Quickly Like 4-0 Sweep Or 4-1.....

If Denver Wins They Will Have To Play 7

how about value in rockets over nuggets? nuggs would be a huge fav IMO, artest has more heart then yao and tmac combined.

LMAO @ lakers, no yao, no tmac, cant get job done.

There is value there for sure....Billups will be a lot for LA's pgs to handle. Martin, Melo,Nene, Birdman will dominate and frustrate LA's bigs and i dont think anyone is playing as hot right now as JR Smith. PLus Denver's home court is better it seems.....


Definate value

its not automatic that LA will win, the pressure might get to them, honestly i wouldnt be that shocked if they dont even get to play Denver. Denver is on a roll, they way they disposed of Dallas is impresive, this team is underrated.
