Nuggets vs. Lakers Preview with Right Personnel (Thanks Brian)

(Boulder-CO) It’s snowing again in Colorado. Let me tell you how excited I am. Typically, the snow in Colorado comes and melts in the same week, but this time… Forgetaboutit. You can barely drive anywhere, turn lanes are still full of icy snow drifts, and did I mention that it’s snowing again? Damn it, man! At least I don’t have to worry about the game being canceled tonight as the Nuggets are in LA-LA land tonight to take on the Lakers.

The Lakers are winners of two straight, but last nights game went into overtime so Kobe and the boys are definitely going to be slow out of the gate. And if the Nuggets are going to have any chance in this one they will need to push the ball from the get go in an attempt to build an early safety-net lead.

I expect Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant to each score over thirty points in tonight’s game. I also think that the man that out duels his high-octane scoring adversary will bring home the W for his team. It's no secret that both these teams are heavily reliant on their only All-Star so in all honesty I'm looking forward to a showdown. But I'm not looking forward to any more snow. Give me a break already, weather man! Where’s the heat? Probably in the sauna dropping a few pounds!
