I'd like to pick the Nuggets, but they haven't been tested really yet. They were light years better than NO and Dallas (in games they didn't sleep walk through). I really hope they keep playing hard.

As a bonus for you devotees of point differential, here's some fun info from our friends at the Elias Sports Bureau that tells how impressive Denver was in the first two rounds of the playoffs, no matter how you're tempted to discount the Nuggets' 8-2 record so far because of New Orleans' many injuries and Dallas' lack of weaponry around the deadly Nowitzki.
The following lists the highest per-game scoring margin, through 10 playoff games, in league history:
SEASON TEAM AVERAGE MARGIN SEASON RESULT
2008-09 Nuggets +16.0 TBD
1970-71 Bucks +15.4 Won NBA title
1986-87 Lakers +14.8 Won NBA title
1995-96 Bulls +14.3 Won NBA title
2000-01 Lakers +14.1 Won NBA title
1985-86 Lakers +13.7 Lost in the conference finals
1985-86 Celtics +13.2 Won NBA title
PER Diem: Who will win, Lakers or Nuggets?
:hollinger: says Nuggs in 6.
I may have to reconsider my pick now.
Lakers in 6. I love the nuggets storyline this season but the lakers are just the better team.
I hope Chauncey can knock out Kobe and then take Lebron but I seriously doubt it can happen.
Imagine if it did though...
Fuck yeah!
Would any of you party?
P, do like how much Vince is enjoying this scheduling snafu? Did you see him whip out that Kobe jersey and say that he's going to present it to Kroenke?
As far as the series, I hope that I'm not just getting drunk on NuggetMania, but they seem to have the physical bigs, the superstar scorer, the floor leader and the competent coach to get to the finals. Much improved D and many different sources of O. I like their chances.
Apparently they fucked up and booked the WWE (long ago) during the playoffs and now it interferes with game 4:

It's Memorial Day, they should be fine.
Vince is definitely milking this though, he couldn't have scripted this any better. Seriously.
