A lot of people call it The Can here in Denver, kind of like they you use to call Bank One Ballpark The BOB in AZ. A radio personality here in town came up with it and some local sports writers use it once in a while.

 

[BroncoBlue]

LMAO...right and thats a bold statement since LA has the best road record. This series is obviously going 6-7 games, its not like denver is going to win 3 str8 now.

The regular season is over, so I don't look too much into what they did back then. If that were the case Denver shouldn't have done shit in LA the past two games. Look at the Rockets series and how the Lakers played on the road and tell me you aren't the least bit worried what will happen here in Denver. The other dude was acting like its a forgone conclusion that the Lakers will win one in Denver. LOL, I really hope the Lakers carry the attitude of their fans because if thats so they are in for a wake up call the next two games.
JR Smith and Chris Anderson haven't even shown up this series and I have a feeling they are going to get back in the grove here at home.

104.7 The Fan of course everyone listens to that!

Scott Hastings and Alfred Williams say it. Mostly Scott Hastings.

Cool, to see another Denver resident here what part of town do you live in?

I'm looking for roommates FYI if you have a full time job !

 

[BroncoBlue]

Don't have tickets to the game but I'm going downtown to some bars to watch the game! Here's hoping Melo can pull another one out!

 

[Sean]

i used to live in Park Hill, where Billups used to live, but now i live near DTC, basically, when Monaco turns into eastmoor or whatever it is called, and no, no job yet, hopefully get one this summer.

btw, got 2 tickets to gm 4, not nose bleed, but decent.

dont really listen to sports radio, i'm a ks 107.5 guy to be honest.

Derek Fisher is SO MUCH better than Rajon Rondo.

 

[ATL Jones Bro]

Derek Fisher is SO MUCH better than Rajon Rondo.

Seriously? I'm not sure if your joking or just crazy.

 

[Sean]

Fishers history might be better then Rondo right now, but i agree, Rondo is the better player today (if he were still playing) with KG, Pierce, Allen he still was a good player through out the year.

 

[Esjay]

Seriously? I'm not sure if your joking or just crazy.

Joking. Fisher helped the Lakers win 3 rings, so Stevsta thinks he's better than Rondo. Personally I think Rondo would be better than Fisher on one foot.

Both games in LA have been EXTREMELY close. Teams always get an advantage playing at home, and the fact that the games have been split in LA tells me that LA has a lot of reason to be concerned. Even if LA had won both games, the total point differential for both games is like +1.

I'd expect the games in Denver to be much more one sided.

The regular season is over, so I don't look too much into what they did back then. If that were the case Denver shouldn't have done shit in LA the past two games. Look at the Rockets series and how the Lakers played on the road and tell me you aren't the least bit worried what will happen here in Denver.

You guys underestimate Kobe and the other veterans on the team. Denver came out and played lights out. Carmelo was on fire the first game and they still lost. The 2nd game had Billups and the Pyzrsdgz fella play huge and they won in the closing seconds on a 2 blown calls that both should have went against Denver.

In other words the teams are evenly matched so how do you come to the conclusion Denver is going to crush them now they are at home now?

 

[ralaw]

Due to the ineptitude of his teammates I see Phil Jackson has elected to put the ball in Kobe's hands and abandon the triangle. Its about time, because I haven't seen the Lakers offense look as bad as it has these past two series in awhile. IMO due to matchups and the their softness the Lakers are over matched in this series. When is someone going to decide to atleast attempt to slow Anthony down?

 

[Archer]

Denver v Orlando = Finals

Orlando aint beating Cleveland IMO

I dont even think it will make game 7

 

[Sean]

lol Fisher and Martin, but i agree, double Tech should have been called.

whats going on with Billups at the line? jeez

 

[Archer]

Get um J.R!!

 

[Sean]

damn, JR had a great 3, but not as good as the one he had in the regular season vs the Lakers from like half court

 

[red33]

Lakers gonna pull this out. Denvers playing the best they could play and LA is so bad right now yet LA only down by 4. Kobe coems back last 4 mins hes taking the game over.

sidenote-if he doesnt then Ill blame Pau and the altitude.

 

[Sean]

altitude? please lol

 

[red33]

yes altitude. LA is a lower sea level so they are at a huge disadvantage then Denver. Its like baseball and Coors Field.

Let me now throw in attitude as a reason if LA loses.
