The nuggets dont have a single guy on that team that can hurt you with his back to the basket except for Nene once every ten games and even at his best he is still very average. Their interior defense is terrible. Kenyon martin is a self check on offense and isnt nearly the athlete he was when he first came out due to all of the injuries. This problem hasnt been exposed in the playoffs because neither the hornets nor the mavs have any good low post players. Someone is bound to bring up David West and he plays facing the basket. Neither of those teams have anyone in the same stratosphere as Gasol.

I love Billups. Advantage Denver there but its their only advantage. JR is the wildcard and if he plays well, it will go 6 games. If he doesnt they will be lucky to go 5.

I actually think this is a fair assessment.
It will be interesting to see how the Lakers deal
with Billups though. The Laker guards (other than Kobe who
I think can play 1-2 or 3) would not
start on any of the teams still left in the playoffs,
not even Orlando.
I also think Nene has the possibility of pushing
Gasol around. Never know who I am going to see
with Nene on the floor.

She is right on about Kenyon Martin imo.

This may be the worst job by referees in NBA history.

Yeah, let's go down to Lisa Salters, who's with the Magic bench, which apparently is furious at the referees for ONLY calling the Celtics for SEVEN MORE FOULS than the Magic! The nerve!

Foul count, Celtics: 28 Magic: 15
FT count, Celtics: 13 Magic: 31

It's a stone cold LOCK that Ron Jeremy still whines about the officiating.

Lakers are -280. I'd need +250 for it to be worth my while. I'll put up $50 against your $125. Anything less and I can just bet it on Sportsbook.
