Is it just me or do the Nuggets look like a much better team than the Lakers but look like deer in the headlight with the lead?

I'm rooting for the Nugs but they're going to find a way to lose.

Do you sleep anymore or have you hit Degen level 39, just playing non-stop?

BTW, I've been watching The Wire, you're a pretty good actor.

LOL I have no job. I resigned last Friday, I sleep till 10 every day, hardly leave the couch other than to get coffee or food or make a feeble attempt to pack my stuff up.

Who am I on the Wire?

The Wire was awesome.....you see them all on TV series everywhere except Mc Nutty....poor Jimmy just went off into the distance with his homeless buddy and didn't even get a guest shot on "Damages" with the other cast members!!

Jimmy be laying at the bottom of the river out there somewhere....

Nothing beats the Omar/Mouzone showdown in the alley.

They look like a better team to me so far. Not much better but better.

Carmello is taking his game to another level.

Fisher plays 27 minutes and scores 3 pt...he sucks!

Carmellos game is pretty much the same as it has always been. He is just actually putting some effort in on the defensive end for a change

I guess the fact that he is scoring more and shooting a better percentage is just an illusion.

You just like to disagree with me. I like that about you.

I did some research. To borrow your line "do you actually watch the games" Lets check out Carmello's career playoffs stats

Yr Team G GS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OFF DEF REB AST STL BLK TO PF pts

Career -- 34 34 38.0 0.427 0.400 0.803 2.6 4.6 7.2 2.8 1.1 0.3 2.91 3.60 23.4
This YR 11 11 38.2 0.500 0.488 0.831 1.7 4.6 6.4 4.3 1.8 0.8 2.09 3.80 28.1

08-09 66 66 34.5 0.443 0.371 0.793 1.6 5.2 6.8 3.4 1.1 0.4 3.02 3.00 22.8

How about against LA lakers?
G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF REB APG SPG BPG PPG
08-09 4 4 35.3 .328 .200 .733 1.8 6.0 7.8 4.0 1.2 0.5 14.5

Playoffs 2 2 41 .734 .363 .772 3.5 4.0 7.5 4.0 0.5 1.0 36.5

LA owned him this year during the season. Things are different in the playoffs.

What do you think Chuck? Still just defense?

What do you say my man?

LeBron James does guard point guards at times dalakhani. I am not going to say he does it well or anything. IN the NBA finals two years ago, when Tony Parker absolutely torched them every game. LeBron would actually guard Tony Parker at times. Part of this had to do with Larry Hughes' injury that actually sidelined him by the end of the series, and they were left with Eric Snow and Daniel Gibson. But I know he guarded Parker at times that series in the NBA finals. Whether it was a one man zone two years ago I'm not sure of and whether he did it well, I doubt as Parker was finals MVP so doubtful and he didn't do it the whole game...but if you look at film for that entire series, I can guarantee you he guarded Parker at times by plan.

In a desperate situation with no one else available in a one sided series, they may have tried it. Hell, they were getting killed so i would have tried to. That was not the case the other night and i hope they do the same thing tonight. I invite you to watch the tape from game 1 and give honest feedback as to whether or not anyone was being "guarded".

The original contention was that "lebron can cover 5 positions" which is simply not true as no one was being "guarded" the other night. Barkley and Collins agree with me but chuck knows more than them about basketball because they are only entertainers and not basketball people.
