Really like this Denver team. Like Phil Jackson said, they've grown and they're hot. For the record, counting the playoffs, the Nuggets have won 22 of their last 27 games. Chauncey Billups is the kind of guy who can guide some of the more inexperienced players through rough patches. I think we're going to see something similar to the Houston series where the Lakers look like the team to beat to win all the marbles, then leave you scratching your head and wondering how the heck they won the West by 10 games. You don't get points for aesthetics in a 7 game series, you simply need to win 4 games regardless of style. I feel their home court edge is huge. Denver was 21 & 20 on the road during the regular season. LA was an NBA best 29 & 12. I think it comes down to a grand finale at Staples Center which pushes the Lakers back into the league's championship round where they face Cleveland.
Tonight is the NBA lottery. I don't care who wins. If they don't take Blake Griffin of Oklahoma they're morons.
Why is Michael Vick's pending release from a federal prison a top story? He's a piece of garbage. If he gets reinstated and makes it back to an NFL field, he's newsworthy. Otherwise, who gives a crap.
Was real happy Comcast and the NFL Network kissed and made up. Comcast originally wanted the station to be a part of a special sports package that cost customers an extra $8 per month. Now it's included in a digital tier subscription which reaches more than 4 times more households. Nice to see & a benefit for fans. Love the NFL Network!

Home-court ad huge for the Lakers, though Denver isn't all that on the road. The Nuggets aren't likely to play as physical (as Houston), so L.A.has that going for them. I just hope the Lakers decide to play defense. I'm reluctant to admit high-scoring games may favor George Karl's boys. Nuggets also better hope Billups is able to log 40+ minutes a night 'cuz he IS their playoff experience!
