Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals is in the books ! And man was it a butt clincher! Lol! It kept me on the edge of my bar stool the whole time.
I arrived at Sports City well into the 2nd quarter and watched the Nuggets hold on to their narrow lead until Fisher's 3 pointer with 1 sec remaining in the half....
The 2nd half was a back and forth battle with the Nuggets using Carmelo for thoes 3 pointers... who lead by as much as 9 through out the game. But in the 4th is when the Lakers showed they were a team that had been in this situation before and deserved to be in it once again! The Lakers led once again by Kobe Bryant were able to pull off a last ditch effort to Win 105-103... The Nuggets led through out but some costly fouls and missed rebounds put them on the losing end of this magnificent opening West Finals game.
I was truly impressed with the composer the Nuggets came out with tonight. But the thing they have to learn is this team they are facing is the Hornets, they arent the the Maverick... they are the LA Lakers, a team that has had their heads driven to the pavement in their last series. The Nuggets HAVE to bring it harder and cleaner than ever before it's a must if they are going to last in game 2 and 3 with them.
Carmelos 39 points proves that he is someone to be reckoned with... and with Billups scoring 19 the Nuggets need to take some of the pressure off their stars and have the other starters and the bench step up like earlier in the Playoffs. This is crucial! Because if you saw towards the end they were double teaming both!
Kobe's 40 points were the money for the Lakers.... and if it wasnt for him the game would have been over during the 2nd quarter and the Nuggets would have ran away with it.
A very impressive performance from both teams!!!!
I predict from game 1.....hmmmmmmm the Nuggets take it in 6 games.....
Game 2 Thursday at 8 central time!!
