4 Quarters - West 1st Round- Nuggets vs Lakers

6. Nuggets vs 3. Lakers

1. Well the Lakers miss Metta World Peace in this series? - This could hurt them against another team, if the Lakers were to sweep the Nuggets then the suspension would carry over to the next series.
2. Can anyone from the Lakers slow down the quickness of Ty Lawson? - Ty Lawson speed could be the difference in this game. The Lakers have historically had problems with quick point guards. So this could be another long series for the Lakers PG's if they can't find away to control Lawson.
3. Fastbreak vs. Low Post - The Lakers have the size advantage vs the Nuggets ability to run and gun, which one will prevail? Well if Bynum plays the way he's been playing most of the season, then the low post game will win over the Nuggets. But if the turnovers and missed shots plague the Lakers, then the Nuggets transition game will be at its best.
4. Can Denver end their Playoff jinx against the Lakers? - Nuggets don't have great history against the Lakers. Losing all 6 postseason series match ups against the Lakers. You may wanna add 7 if Kobe and Bynum have their way.

Confidence Pick: Nuggets (33) vs Lakers (16)

Series Prediction: Lakers in 6
