re: Nuggets at Lakers

B/c of their easy schedule the rest of the way, I think Dallas finishes at the 2 spot ahead of Denver. But that still means that Denver & Dallas will meet in the Western Conference semis and even though Dallas got tougher with Haywood, Denver is still a bitch of a matchup problem for Dallas.

I don't see any scenario where Denver loses to Dallas in a 7 game series, even if Dallas plays at their best.
