Denver plays great at home and everyone knows it.  So do you think Kobe and fans can pull out a win tonight?

I don't.  Denver by 3 tonight.

Lakers are best when they are challenged, as it gets them focused.

Lakers by 5-7pts, in a game easier than that.

But I hope that I'm wrong...

If you look at the history of the Lakers, you will notice that they have a very good road record. This year is no different. They are a reflection of their coach. Listen to the coaches at post game conferences, or in huddle during timeouts. Most, if not all coaches are very animated, screaming, pleading and trying to infuse energy and passion. Jackson calmly tells his players what they need to do. He is the best basketball coach for a reason. Karl tends to have a "deer in the headlight look".
