2 Western series end tonight. LA and UTAH will get it done.
Denver is still utterly lost out there. Close out game in Utah, not playing MJ's Bulls -- the Jazz get it done. Sloan, D-Will = too steady, and Denver has no answer for Williams. Nuggets needed a hot Chauncey to hang with Utah and he's far from hot this series. And everyone talks about how great Denver's homecourt is, but no one mentions that Utah is has one of the best in the L. It's all going to prove too much for the Nuggs tonight.
Lakers are done with playing games. Not saying they were throwing games earlier in the series, but they could afford their apathetic approach in Games 1-4. OKC played above their capabilities so far in games of relatively minor consequences. Game 6, an elimination situation, is a whole other ball game. Their youth will show and their vulnerability will be exploited sometime in the 2H when the Lakers will just blow it open.
Methinks Joe Pub wins tonight!
