Lakers Conquer West


The Los Angeles Lakers ended the season a remarkable 57-25. The Lakers ended up the number one seed in the West and are set to take on the Denver Nuggets (50-32). This will be one of the most entertaining series of the first round. Denver posts an unbelievanble one-two punch in Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, while have great role players in Marcus Camby and J.R. Smith. The one achilles heel for the Nuggets is defense. That is why I see the Lakers winning this series in 5 games. This game will also be the first time that Kobe Bryant (this year's MVP) and Allen Iverson meet in the playoffs since the 2001 NBA Finals. Game one will go to the Lakers. 120-105.
