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

    • This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.
    • As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.
    • I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
