Let's have all the Game discussion before, during, and after the game in here. This may be the most important game so far in the season for the Lakers, an absolute MUST WIN situation. -We are on 6 game losing streak. -Luke and Lamar are back in the rotation -Winner of this game takes the 6th seed for Playoffs -If Lakers win, it may give them confidence and motivation to start playing well again. -Prevent Phil Jackson from getting his first 7 game losing streak. I checked the lines today, the Lakers are +5 underdogs, +180 moneyline. Shape, I'm thinking about taking Lakers moneyline tonight, what do you think? I just don't see Kobe letting us lose tonight, no matter what happens. After that THRILLER of a game last night between Dallas and Phoenix, Kobe wants to win tonight. It's a nationally televised game so I think Kobe and everyone else is gonna bring it. Go Lakers!
I'm riding with the Lakers tonight, ML looks like a nice value wager to role with. Kobe Bryant is going to come out blazing, he always lights up the Nuggets, and I expect him to have his team fired up. The rest of the season the Lakers need to take a page out of Detroit Pistons Championship Team .. "US AGAINST THE WORLD!" This the battle for the 6th seed and the Lakers cannot afford to continue this losing streak. The Lakers have to get back to grinding out wins and limiting second chance opportunities. Force Denver to beat you from the perimeter tonight, and not allow easy baskets in transition. Looking forward to seeing Luke and Odom back in the starting lineup!

I've had this feeling few times before, and I've cashed in, let's hope history repeats itself.
Remember I bought a ticket to the Lakers/Knicks game in NY and flew to NY to see Kobe only to find out he had been suspended? Well I have tickets to this game and if Kobe doesn't play for whatever reason heads will roll!!! I WILL see Kobe play....
I think Lakers have this one, we HAVE to win this one and because Denver is having some team issues from what I understand i.e. benching Carmello.
Wow.. kwame blocked carmelo then dunked it.. they look preety healthy so far. 6 points for Kobe Walton a 3! i mised him! he is back! then he mised..
Melo misses the jumper. Nene gets the put back. Kobe gets the assist to Walton for the three! Iverson misses the wide open layuup Luke misses a three. Carmelo throws it away.

Yup. If you're going to post play by play. Post 3-5 plays at once, not one play for each post. I don't want to edit all of it.

Smush wasn't ready for the pass and turns it over. A lot of Laker fans in Denver. Melo drives for the hoop. Lamar misses the fall away. Kobe gets it. Lamar draws the block on Camby.
Kobe's got 8 and 5 already. He's 4/4 from the field. I can't believe how many Laker fans there are. It looks like a 50/50 split. Kobe draws the foul on Nene. Timeout.
Kobe with the assist on the Shammond three!! Melo turns it over. The Lakers are -7 on points off turnovers. Kobe misses the three, just short.
