I like Lakers in 5 games. I think Denver will show some heart and win one of their home games, but their lack of size will kill them against this Laker front court. Lakers should get by these guys easy, even without Metta World Peace who is on suspension.

Just some nit picky things, Faried is #35, Koufos is #41 and from Ohio St.

Manimal has been my favorite rookie this year. Always love to see Afflalo defend top players and he'll get his chance vs Kobe. Also, Jordan Hill has been a nice surprise pick up for LAL.

You know what, I am going to pick the upset. I've been picking chalk in the these other series, Denver in 6.

I agree with most here that the Lakers bigs are too much for the Nuggets. If the Lakers are smart they run the offense through Bynum from game 1 and let him do his thing.

I'm more interested to see what what the Lakers do to slow down Lawson in this series. Their inability to guard short quick PGs killed them in the playoffs last year, and Lawson is one of the best at getting into the lane. I've never been too impressed with Sessions defense, but if he can slow down Lawson a bit the Lakers could be dangerous
