Tell me what weaknesses Denver has, they are clicking on all cylinders, have scoring from all over the floor and a great leader in Chauncey Billups. I do not believe they are a lock to win it all but the Lakers are not playing very well and The Cavaliers are playing awful teams and steamrolling over them giving everyone a false sense of being unbeatable. Sometimes if it is to easy like it has been for the Cavs, you hit a wall when you play teams that are tougher.

Denver hasnt been challenged either. They played a injured Hornets team and a horrible Dallas team. If the Lakers get there act together that will be the 1st challenge. But i do agree with the sense of team and leadership that came along with Billups. He is the main reason this team is having any success.

With the exception of Charles Barkley, majority of the sports radio world and TV Media is still favoring a Lakers/Cavs matchup. The only people that thinks Denver's going on the way is the Denver loyalist like me, and everybody who's sick of hearing about this overrated Lakers time after time.

Denver wins the West. Don't know about the whole thing. But they have the best all-around team of the ones left standing right now. Cavs have been dominant, but when you watch them play offense - they really are an ugly ball club more than 50% of their possessions. They stand and watch LeBron. When you play a competent team, that is gonna bite you in the ass.

I agree about the Cavs playing garbage competition, and I completely agree with the Lakers not having that killler mentality (im a lakers fan). However, who has denver played? Denver has only been playing good because they have not had any matchup problems. They cannot compete against the lakers even if they play like they did against houston in game 4. Also, i believe the top teams in the west are the lakers followed by Houston (with yao) and portland. Denver is too weak in the low post presence even though Nene does well sometimes. Lakers have the most difficult matchup with the rockets because of Battier, Artest, and Yao that create matchup problems for the Lakers. Lakers should take this series in 6 games, but Denver wont stand a chance against the lakers even on the worst day. I hope the Cavs keep sweeping through the garbage competition to get swept by the lakers in the finals.
