    D Howard needs to get back to his roots. He's still young enough and talented enough.

    It's like there's a brain block.

    Just play your game, dude. Used to be one of the best 5's in the game. Find yourself, dude.

    QUIT FOULING!

    They are actually really good. Last season they were the 1 seed almost the entire season until the Warriors took it at the end. This season they’re the 3 seed after being in the mix for 2 a lot of the time too, they’re not some 6 seed or something, they were legit the next best team after the Clippers and they beat them. This is gonna be a battle to close out, but this is playoff ball, the WCF is rarely easy.

    Agree 100%. The Nuggets are really, really good. I'm so glad we won this game to take it to 3-1.

    I can't stand the Warriors, but Denver has a quality the game hasn't seen since the Warriors... not only do they have these young guns coming through that are learning to win quickly... but they are also somewhat revolutionising the game with a new style of play that's hard to guard.

    How ironic that the 16 championship Lakers are being so respectful of Denver... but the trash talking never been out of the second round Flippers arrogantly expected to beat Denver, then LA, then claim the chip.

    Dwight hasn't been one of the best 5's in years. You're asking too much from a vet minimum player who was on the verge of not being in the NBA because not many teams wanted him. I don't mind the fouls because they are hard fouls... Someone has to be dishing them. Remember, Dwight used to demand the ball in the post and score 18-20 per game. The only time he ever gets the ball these days is when he's open for a dunk or setting a screen. Lakers have some problems but Dwight ain't one.

    This game was not decided by the refs.

    I'm one of those that's always been in tune with how the refs effect the flow of the game.

    This wasn't one of those games.

    I feel like it was so close through the whole game, if we miss just a few more shots it would have been a loss.

    My only comfort is LeBron didn't look like Lebron this game IMO, so I'm hoping he isn't just gassed at this point. Hope he feels it more next game to lead us.

    So if Denver is really really good, how good are the Lakers being up 3-1? Lakers led from beginning to end against a team that was making every shot imaginable.

    I'm not saying he's a problem. In fact I'm extremely happy he's in the Purple and Gold.

    Dwight wasn't wanted, because he's been considered a cancer.

    He's proven this season, he's willing to take a look in the mirror.

    My problem with him, is he's fouling and biting when he doesn't need to.

    If he just plays to his strengths, he'd have much more impact on the game. He's an elite defender, playing desperate at times.

    They’re really, really good. We are title favorites. That’s the leap, that’s the difference. If they win it’s this big huge deal, if we win it was expected, we’ve already seen these moronic articles calling this LeBron’s easiest road to a title ever. As if beating Miami (or Boston) would be easy or something.

    I was done with that "job" after the Sacramento series years.

    LG truly burned me out.

    One more win. Lebron needs to get in his cryochamber because he looks gassed.

    That was part of the game plan.

    Why I think Vogel needs to get more credit than he does. :Vogelshocked:
