Is it just me or does it always seem like everytime we play the Nuggets AT Denver...it's always on Fridays ON ESPN?

Friday Night games on ESPN @ Denver = Loss

One positive is we are catching Denver on the 2nd game of a back to back. Tonight (Thursday) they play at the Clippers.

Go Lakers!

Blowout loss. This team always has a hard time up in Denver. Gasol gets pushed around, Kobe doesn't shoot too well. And if our 2 best players don't play well, we have no one else to rely on, no way will the bench play well under pressure, we will get run out of the building.

This is going to be a tough road trip
lakers could go 2-4 on this trip maybe even 1-5.

That B2B,Boston then NY is going to be tough.

No way the Nuggets should be close. Should be a blowout because

A. We're better

and

B. The Nuggets will be sluggish after playing a late game in LA and having to fly to denver, take the hour and a half bus ride into town and then go home.

The Lakers are already there and have rested.

I think Lakers are beginning to figure out the best lineups or plays. The key is the ability to hold on a big lead.

Ever a positive one, I think Lakers will take at least 5 of the road games, including the one at Denver.

Thanks Flop City, the one time I would like them to play well and take their game to OT they are getting "IT" handed to them...

Lakers 106
Nuggets 94

Good Defensive effort and positive bench play....

Hey a man can dream right?

I fully expect Kobe to have a monster night as he's certainly heard enough about his last game @denver which was his worst game of the year. Kobe will make up for that, plus the Denver crowd usually gets him fired up anyways. Kobe will get 40+, I'll guess 44 to be exact.

Lakers will want to start the trip on a high note, but Denver's the type of fast paced team that bothers the Lakers. I expect it'll be close until the end, but Lakers will win by about 5 points most likely due to some Kobe 4th quarter heroics.

Afflalo is going to get away with bloody murder tomorrow. I hope Bynum and Gasol bring their A games

I will be at the game, unless it gets canceled or weather prevents me from getting there.

Denver looked pretty good last night against the Clips.

This is definitely going to be a very tough game for LA.

But isn't this Denver's third game of 3 straight?

Go Lakers!!!

PS - GLock is way too good to only be playing him 20 minutes a game. When he's on the court good things happen.
