| Lakers take Denver in 5 games and I hope that the suspension does not make Artest timid against OKC. |

how is that a blessing
with MWP playing faster and better, how come that is a blessing , my friend?
Mike Brown had to give Ebanks some big minutes and finally giving someone off the bench time is always a plus. Metta having a loss of control moment early on then late in the playoffs is better in the long run for us.. So a blessing as it caused an extra player to gain confidence off the bench. |

| I would say Lakers in either 5 or 6 games. The Lakers can not take the Nuggets lightly as they are a deep team and very well coached. One thing the Lakers need to focus most is stopping fast break points and preventing Denver from getting easy buckets. |

If the Lakers play defense and rebound, they have a good chance of winning in six. The Nuggets can cause the Lakers a lot of problems. Miller the old verteran point guard will be a hand full for Blake, and Ty Lawson will be hard for Sessions to stay in front of him. Sessions is not a good defender. Afflalo is tough on Kobe most of the time. So it is going to be up to Bynum and Pau to do most of the scoring and get the two big centers they have in foul trouble. Koufous and Mosgov are big, but they get in foul trouble right away if Andrew is aggressive. And he has to be to get these two guys out of the court.
Faried is a high fly act for a power forward and can block shots. Pau and McRoberts, Hill will have to watch this guy close.
Without Metta, you can be sure that they are going to try and attack our small forwards.
But like I stated before, IF Bynum and Pau can control the boards we should be OK. Can not let shorter players like Harington to dominate our bigs.
We got to win the home games for sure. |

Did u forget how well he played for us in most of his games since being in LA. The guy made clutch plays for us in big games. It really bothers me how u makeact as though this guy is trsh. |

| Axie is not right . The lakers as a team are not aggressive defenders . Its not just sessions. This is the same clown that said morris was better than sesh. That shows how much of a moron he is. Sesh could be more aggressive on defense but his fool of a coach is the one that tells his pg's to go under screens. Look it usp. . Sessions even said so. We get beat off of pick n rolls bc our bigs are not quick enough to hedge out and get back to their rotations. U clowns always find someone to point the finger at. It was dfish now its seesions, dude has been doing a very good job here in la . If u want to blame anyone blame the lakers poor team defense not Ramon. Axie is still a tool . Only signed up to this gay site to tell that clown what I thought. Morris better than sesh. . Lol! Morris doesn't belong in the nba . |

I agree. If Dallas can steal one of the 1st two in OKC then I think the Mavs can upset OKC. So far Dallas has looked good. Marion has been terrific on KD and Dallas leads 23-17. |

| Yeah I think Dallas will upset OKC. Marion is probably the most underrated defender in the league. He can shut down anybody. He basically shut down Kobe and Durant for most part last year |

Jason Terry is on fire against OKC. You can tell that announcer that is with Hubie is for OKC. Everytime they score he makes a big deal out of it.
Mavericks are old, but they can be dangerous and don't be surprised if they upset OKC. |

Well Tailspin, I just said Sessions is not a good defender and surfer blew a fuse. But I like Sessions in other fields of the game, he can penetrate, he can score, not too good on the free throw line. I think he is too fast for the slow pace the Lakers have to play because of our bigs. Nothing to get pissed about, it is the truth.  |

Hey, don't get me wrong I would take Dallas over OKC in a heartbeat but most likely we will be facing OKC, assuming we take care of business against the Nuggets. |

OKC just won on a lucky shot from Durant.
Nothing wrong with Harden, he played pretty good for a guy that had a concussion and head ache. |

| OKC vs. Mavs series will be a intense series. I see thunder winning at 6 or 7. Lakers need to play with energy. They need to move around and keep the ball moving. This series will help the lakers get ready for thunder. MWP will get needed rest to match up with durant. Its going to be a good series. |

I still think Dallas has a good chance. they just need to continue on what they are doing and they will be fine. |
