I smell sweep here. The Lakers are going to steamroll over the Nuggets. What do you think?

The Lakers are far from reliable, having lost key games to Portland and memphis down the stretch, but the Nuggets' lack of defense should prevent any inkling of an upset here.

The Lakers take the first game, 128-114. How about Pau Gasol? 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists. So close to a triple-double.

Lakers took last nights game 122-107 and go up 2-0 in the series. kobe dominated scoring 49 points. the nuggets are realing and in my opinion will lose the next two at home to complete the sweep for the lakers.

Yeah, that is impressive. But I think the Nuggets should be ashamed of the way they are playing. They have the most talent in the league(iverson, anthony, smith, martin), a former defensive player of the year(camby), and very good depth(nene,carter) and yet they cannot even make a game interesting and they let Laker players openly drive the lane for lay-ups and dunks. One would think that with the post players they have that they would be able to deny all the easy buckets but their just not doing it. No heart, dissapointing...

Lakers are up on the Nuggetts, 3-0, after yesterday's 102-84 win.
So do you think L.A. can wrap this one up Monday night?
