Nuggets +5.5 at Lakers - Game 5

[BB73]

Wednesday night from the Staples Center.

This is my first betting go round ever. I think the Lakers take Game 5 and force at least a Game 7 at home with a chance to end it early in Denver.

Denver's up 5 in the middle of the 3rd. Both Nene and Bynum are sitting with 4 fouls.

The crowd's fairly quiet. But Kobe will probably go apeshit in the 4th and bail out the Lakers. He hasn't used a lot of energy so far - the other guys played OK in the first half.

4 consecutive turnovers for Denver and it's now tied. :tic:

Denver imploding, now down 11.

Hey look. Jack Nicholson. I had no idea he was a Lakers fan.

Stupid ass Nuggets.

The Lakers are playing this series like the Cavs need to. Getting outplayed but still getting w's and keeping home court as of now.

A lot of borderline whistles keeping this margin at 8ish instead of a basket or two.

"They're letting them play"

Maybe if you're only watching one half of the court

Truly awful play by Denver. They definitely deserved to lose tonight.

Couple of things. First when Lamar plays aggressive he can be one of the best in the league. Second, Shannon Brown must play more. He shut down Billups and brought fire to a lifeless Laker team in the 3rd. I'll take his turnovers if he plays D on Billups like that.

Lamar is known for showing up one game and taking 5 off.

As a Laker fan, I know this all too well. Hell if he just rebounded like he did tonight I would be happy with that.

I would be happy if he sucked 82 games of the year and just showed up for the playoffs, unfortunately, he tends to go the other way with that :(
