I am going to go with Denver and not just because I absolutely HATE the laker's but because I think Denver's defense is going to kill the Laker's.  We saw Houston beat them on home court in game one.  I think they will be to relaxed to give it their all tonight.

Denver wins by 4.

wear out Gasol and Bynum, and set the tone for the rest of the series.

they're my hommies.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.  Matt babe, you crack me up

If Bynum does not show up in the series, Denver will win.  The Denver bench must play outstanding D in the series.  Kobe and Gasol will get their points.  If the Nuggets can stop the LA role players, Denver will have an easier time.

Didn't know that's what it meant. I was just saying, since I'm from LA, that's who I'm rooting for. When, you come from small town USA, you typically root for your home team, no matter how good or bad they are. And, being a little closer to Detroit, than Chicago, Cleveland, or Cincinnati, we always rooted for the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings, no matter what. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.

I am hoping that Bynum is getting his groove back and will show up much like he did early in the season.  By the comments his personal coach made, Karim A.-J., his ass would want to get it done.  I love the Lakers and want them to win but I have more doubt about this series than any other in the past few years.

...will have a tough time defending Carmelo this series...but Denver will make the mistakes that will allow the Lakers to prevail in 4 out of 7 games.

I'm [nervously] picking the Lakers.
