Made me laugh so hard haha

Denver's no superstar plan has them a middle of the pack playoff team two years in a row. For them that must mean they're successful.

Does anyone know how many other teams have their road Denver games on the 2 of a back to back?

No one is expecting this to be an easy game... But the Lakers know what's at stake & they're playing more consistent basketball right now.... Play our game & we get a Win.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Without having read any other comments from my fellow Lakers degenerates...... eff this guy and eff Charles Barkley. I know he needs a story to write but don't eff with us.

Yep.

Beating L.A. is the closest thing to winning a championship their bumpkin fans will ever experience.

amazing how that is a success in the eyes of nuggets fans

really shows how spoiled we are lakers fans

The Denver Post!?

Here's the irony in this story.......

The Nuggets, when they had their "Names" and "Paper Team" used to get rolled by our team..... now that they divested themselves of all of those mentally weak punks and they now have a cohesive team that "needs" each other to be successful. We acquired the "Names" in the offseason and we are the ones on the bottom looking up to them.

Too much emphasis put on Stars, Stats, and Awards..... not enough on system, teamwork and finding pieces that work together....... They have it and we don't.

I don't see them going deep in the playoffs.... but their expensive star studded team didn't either and our star studded team is going to have to play nearly flawless ball to even make the playoffs.

Putting Melo and Iverson on the same was just stupid though.

When the Lakers got Nash and Dwight they addressed major needs for the team so it wasn't as though we just went after big names for the sake of it. Injuries took their toll on this team because they still should have been able to win on talent alone even with chemistry issues.

eh, not impressed with denver. they're going to get rolled in the playoffs, like always. it's a star league, and they've committed themselves to a roster full of non-stars, many of whom make a fair amount of cash despite their non-star status.

i think la's overarching strategy is better and will prove so over time as it always has. granted, the lakers have some natural advantages, but talk of non-star team play trumping star power is just fodder for desperate fans of teams that don't have stars.

the detroit pistons won a title when karl malone blew out a knee, and now people keep trying to sell that snake oil to any team with a plucky ensemble cast. i'm not buying it.

SuperStars win titles, when the play offs come, slowball kills fast break teams

exactly. how many teams are just going to hand them dunks like the lakers did for the entire first half last night? nobody. unless they get to play houston, who plays the same style. i really don't think denver is well-constructed, nor do i think the best teams in the league should have any fear of them. i don't aspire to this if i'm managing a basketball team.

Indeed.

bump

Denver regular season....



Denver post season.....

LMAO

Lol, again, that no star plan really worked out for them, bounced by Steph Curry.

If Faried is Denver's best big man, they're not beating teams like GS, Memphis or San Antonio.

excellent bump.

Denver had quite the regular season

pretty proud of my posts in this thread!
