L.A. Lakers Slam The Denver Nuggets In Game Six - Return To The NBA Finals
YES! Bring on the Orlando Magic!

YES! Bring on the Orlando Magic!
Maybe both teams can get together and do both!
Lamar Odom finally showed up and Andrew Bynum played decent for one half. Shannon Brown keeps paying dividends and that monster dunk over the Birdman was lovely. Derek Fisher found his jumpshot for most of the game, but damn near busted the backboard with a couple of mega-bricks. "The Machine" is still shooting like a busted ass toaster, but did hit one big three and Luke Walton contributed some good minutes when he wasn't fouling Melo. Pau Gasol was good, but still needs to turn it up a notch. Kobe only had to be mortal tonight, so let's hope he saved enough energy to be the "Black Mamba" for game six in Denver. 
I don't care who you are cheering for, the Western and Eastern conference finals are awesome. That last second shot by LeBron James in game #2 was jaw-dropping. I hated it, but I loved it. Further, I just love the way Carmelo Anthony is playing, I just hate the way it's killing my Lakers. And speaking of killers, didn't Kobe just murder the Nuggets last night? Ha! Ha! Cool! I need my boys to take the upper hand on Monday.
This was a great game. Dwight Howard breaking shit up, Lebron James EVERYWHERE, and Rashard Lewis dropping three's. It was lovely.
Denver should have won this game, but woulda, coulda, shoulda, doesn't cut it in the NBA. Melo was awesome, but Kobe was clutch. Pau Gasol got off his ass in the last few minutes and made some huge defensive plays. Ariza was effective and Odom was weak, but overall the Lakers gutted out a very tough win.
One last thing - it's way past time for folks to realize that Carmelo Anthony is the real deal. He played his ass off tonight!
I was completely disgusted with the L.A. Lakers in game #4. And they ain't getting any props from me for kicking the Rockets' ass in game #5. This is how it should have been from the get go. The Lakers are messing around with Houston, when the Denver Nuggets are gearing up to give them one hell of a fight in the Western finals.
The Lakers played much better. Yes, sir!
A win is a win, but the Lakers really need to play better and tougher!
The Bulls may not win this series, but they have truly entertained folks!
Kobe drops 38 on 'em. Gotta love it.
This was not a great game for the Lakers. They won, but they need to smash the daylights out of the Jazz to make a point to everyone else in the league.
My L.A. Lakers smashed the Utah Jazz. The Philadelphia 76ers surprised the hell out of the Orlando Magic. The Atlanta Hawks beat the hell out of the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets beat the daylights out of the New Orleans Hornets. I will be looking forward to all of the second games for these series, even though the Hornets really disappointed me with their play.
The Bulls-Celtics game was awesome. Let's hope the young bulls can keep the pressure on. I would love to see the Celtics get bounced in the first round. The Pistons looked absolutely terrible, let's hope King James and company sweep them quickly to put them out of their misery. I will not be watching any more of that series. The Pistons have no chance.
The Mavericks finally won a road game. I can't stand Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs and I really can't stand them when the only Spur I like ain't playing. I love Manu Ginobili's game and in my opinion the Spurs suck without him. The Mavericks looked very inconsistent, so this series is still a toss up. I won't be killing myself to watch any more of this series either.
As I write this, the Portland Trailblazers are getting their asses royally kicked by the Houston Rockets. Brandon Roy is the man, but the Trailblazers are looking out of their league. Jeff Van Gundy predicted a blow-out and he was right. I love the Trailblazers even though they have opened more than one can of whoop ass on my beloved L.A. Lakers this season, so I will tune in for another game in this series.
Derrick "Remember I'm A Rookie" Rose was simply amazing! A double-double, 36 points and 11 assists.
Today, Professor Tracey is pulling for the following teams:
The Bulls
The Pistons (they have no chance, but I can dream)
The Trailblazers
The Mavericks
Tomorrow, Professor Tracey is pulling for the following teams:
The Lakers (I really didn't have to tell you that did I?)
The Hawks
The 76ers (they have no chance, but I can have two dreams)
The Hornets
