Line for Game 1 just opened at Denver +7, Lakers -7. What do you think? Theoretically, Game 1 is the easiest to steal for the underdog. However, I think the Lakers have the Nuggets number.

Over/Under is 214.5 btw.

Do you think the line will go up in the Lakers favor or lower towards the Nuggets?

denver is a finesse team, you need to be physical with the lakers to have any chance at beating them

I think you're way off on that. Denver can play physical. If anything Lakers are the finesse team

Same here. Denver has been the most physical team in the playoffs this year.

Hmm, I'm baffled. Game 1 is always the easiest to steal (especially when Denver has had a lot of rest and the Lakers have struggled). However, the Nuggets don't have anyone on their team that can contain Kobe the way Artest/Battier did in Houston. This causes Denver to double Kobe and guys like Gasol/Bynum/Odom to get easy buckets. I just don't see how Denver can win in this series.

Rockets had Battier and Artest to rotate on Kobe. Nuggets have no answer for the Black Mamba. He will have a huge series. Mark my words.

over kobes career he usually does always do good against denver, but the nuggets are playing really good ball, team defense maybe enough to slow him down....
