Thanks for Game 1, Anthony Carter

Anthony Carter is going to get the blame, but the Nuggets lost this game in the last 3 minutes. They simply don’t have the experience in close games. A silly reach in foul, one poor rotation, and one bad possession is all it takes to lose in a game like this. Denver’s disadvantage on the boards [...]

It was nine clutch free throws by Kobe Bryant and an outstanding defensive play by Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza in the fourth quarter that got the Lakers past the Denver Nuggets, 105-103, in the first game of their Western Conference Finals.

Whew!  What a nerve racking game.  Lakers win 105-103.  We are now 11-1 against the Nuggets in the past 2 seasons, but if Game 1 is any indication, these Nuggets are much improved. I really like Anthony Carter and Dahntay Jones. Kobe ...

They had an early...
