This will be one of the closer matchups in the playoffs, I expect Clippers to edge out Nugs in 7, because of homecourt. And proceed to watch Tony cut his arm off.
Everybody is saying this will happen, but really, the Nuggets will win in 6. Carmelo Anthony will go crazy this seris and entire playoffs. Andre Miller has been phenominal the last two years in the playoffs (the onlyone who ha) and he will again.MArcsu Camby, Fransisco Elson, Nene, KMart, and Ruben Patterson will make Elton Brand look like a ghost. I am sick and tried of the Nuggets facing Sam Cassell in the playoffs.
This series will come down to how Denver defends Brand, if he is able to get position and easy buckets, it will open things up for his teamattes and this could be a tough series, if not, Denver could end it rather quickly..Its tough to tell as of now, I think..It could really swing either way, its one of those question mark matchups for me..
i think the clippers are a good team. i just think they're going to lose because the clippers are rarely in the post season. i believe this is the first time brand has been in the playoffs. they still got sam i am running the point who is an underrated player. i think he's the only starter with playoff experience too. i'll go with denver in 6.
The Clippers are a scary team. Dallas was lucky to avoid them even though the Grizzlies are tough as well. I see the Clippers winning this in 7 since they got homecourt.
Good veteran backcourt=good clutchness=good playoff teamsRoss has been known to give Melo trouble. The Clips frontcourt doesn't have a bench since they gave away Wilcox but the Nuggs frontcourt isn't even healthy right now.

Next, Melo is the best player i this seris, Elton Brand is good, but he will not do too good in it because he has no playoff experience when KMart and Camby have both been to the NBA Finals before and to the playoffs a lot.

I think either of this teams will give the Suns some trouble because their big guys are good. Without Kurt Thomas I'm a little worried. Camby-Martin-Evans-Ellis or Kaman-Brand-Radmonovic and going to kill us inside. Both teams could take us to 7 and maybe win.

That's a big paycheck for someone getting 7 and 6 in the playoffs. Brings a smile to every Nets fans face. Kenyon, you should of taken the pay cut..
