That could present a problem couldn't it. I will still stick to my price.Comment -
Lakers are not there yet...Comment -
i could see denver pulling off the upset. they can match LA's athleticism and would be able to score with them. only problem is if they can play enough defense to stop LA from putting up 120 a game. mr. big shot would need to come up huge and outplay d fish for them to really have a good shot.Comment -
Not so fast my friends.Comment -
i'm pretty sure jason hart could do that at this point.Originally posted by remmy358
Why is Derek Fisher still in the rotation?
For all the great playoff moments he's delivered in his career, Fisher has been such a massive liability against Houston that Rockets fans claim they'd have already won the series if he hadn't been suspended for Game 3.
He's shooting 29.4 percent against Houston and contributed several of the forced early shots that put the Lakers in huge holes in Games 4 and 6. Additionally, he's been little more than a traffic cone on defense against speedy Aaron Brooks. The two men behind him, Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown, have played reasonably well, so there are alternatives.
For further proof, check out their plus/minus numbers on the series. Fisher is minus-14, Brown is plus-5 and Farmar is plus-48. Even in Game 5, which the Lakers won by 40 points, Fisher was a modest plus-9.
Yet the Lakers continue to trot Fisher out with the starters. At the very least, they should have him matching up against Kyle Lowry, whose inability to shoot makes it easy to back off him. But a better option might be to use Farmar and Brown the whole game. At this point, Jackson's loyalty to the veteran Fisher looks like a victory of sentimentality over wisdom.Comment -
I think the Lakers offense has slipped and Kobe is showing more signs of aging.
Bynum and Odom are outmatched against Denver
I see it 4-1 or 4-2 DenverComment -

Oh my god, Billups outplaying Fisher is a given, he can outplay him in his sleep right now as bad as Fisher is these days.Originally posted by remmy358Comment -
It would have to be a small play on Denver. I just don't trust Doc Karl.Comment -

I think Denver 6 days worth of rest might be difference in the first two game. A fully rested and healthy Nene should give Pau Gasol some problems with his physical. Denver should own the paint.Comment -
Was anyone watching Bynum today. The TV commentators had it right. He's a beast at home and not on the road. I say he'll give Nene, The Birdman, K-Mart etc. trouble.Comment -
lakers will win the series , and i don't care about the hatters who say they won't cause ill be LOL last.Comment -
I think the Lakers step it up a level and win this series. I actually still do not see them losing in the Western Conference Finals or the NBA Finals.Comment -

I really can't wait to watch this series, hope it stays competitive...
I would like to lay a wager down on Denver for the series but was hoping for a price more in the +300 ranger or higher but I knew that was wishful thinking.Comment -
no value in either side at that series price, line is right where it should be (of course)...Comment -
Lakers will win this series.Comment
