I don't think the Lakers should be overly concerned. Kobe plays well in Denver. The Lakers won their this year. Also they won game 3 last series on then road in Houston

They can definitely win there. I will say if they don't win game 3 they are going to be in big trouble

Well I'm hoping for Denver in 6.

And when they matchup against Orlando in the Finals, Stern and the media will have a collective heart attack.

I think this really puts the Lakers in a tough spot, the Nuggets outplayed them in both games and nowhtye go back to Denver where they are awesome at home

that altitude and houston taking them to 7 is going to bite LA in the arse IMO

Some people put way too much stock into the regular season. If the Houston series didn't show how meaningless it is(Houston was 0-4 against the Lakers in the regular season) than I don't know what will.

it all depends though

the rockets and nuggets got much better towards the end of the year

unlike in the east finals, the magic beat cleveland in the regular season, and will beat them in the playoffs
