    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nuggets will be the first NBA team to gauge how the Los Angeles Lakers will fare without Shaquille O'Neal.

    The league has not released its schedule, but two league sources confirmed Denver will start its season against the Lakers in Los Angeles.

    The schedule, typically released in late July, is expected to arrive late this year because of the Lakers' trade of O'Neal to Miami and other major offseason moves. The league slate could yet be tweaked, but the Nuggets are expected to face Kobe Bryant and Co. in the opener.

    Between their surge to a playoff berth last season and their trade for New Jersey forward Kenyon Martin, the Nuggets also can expect more national television exposure, according to two cable executives.</div>

    Can't wait for the Schedule to be released.

    If this is true the Nuggets get to start off the season with a win and get to embarress the Lakers.

    Kenyon Martin is better than Odom especially on defense so the Nuggets will win

    I don't know, they both averaged around the same stats in PPG and RPG and Odom is a much better passer.
