Explain that one to me. The Lakers have no one to matchup with Billups, the Nuggets are big with Anthony, K-Mart, and Nene in the frontcourt, and both their shooting guards are 6'6" so can matchup with Kobe. I'd think that Denver is one of the best matchups against LA. Do you have a reasoning for saying they match up horribly or did you just hear some sportscaster say that and are regurgitating it?

Youre right sniper...i just regurgitate this info i hear and i have no idea of what im typing.

The bolded quote is about the funniest on the thread.

THE LAKERS HAVE BEATEN THEM 10 STRAIGHT TIMES. Yes, Denver matches up really well with them.

Now, if you want me to educate you on WHY they have beaten them ten straight I will be happy to do that. or if you would like to WAGER on the series, we can do that as well.

let me know my good friend.

First off they haven't beaten them 10 straight times. And even if they have won 10 of the last 11 how does that have any relevance when most of those were with Allen Iverson instead of Chauncey Billups which was a completely different team. There have been three games since Billups came and the home team has won all three and one of the Lakers wins came when K-Mart was out.

I'd bet you whatever the odds are on Sportsbook minus the juice. There would be no point in my betting 100 to win 100 if I can bet 100 to win 140 on Sportsbook.

We'll see what the odds are after the Lakers win tonight and set it accordingly and you can decide if you want to take the bet.

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.

I like that. No one is going to go broke and the 100 bucks is just for bragging rights and maybe a couple of drinks.

No excuses in the finals right?

and if i happen to lose (extremely doubtful) PM me a baby winner as a consolation.

Cheers all.
