The Lakers had to beat the Mavs yesterday knowing they had to face the #5 Seed in the West Mile High Nuggets 5,280 Feet above seas level. Yes the Lakers took care of Business but they will need the Black Mamba and Nash on 5-Hour Energy Drink as well as a Few Good Lakers to keep the Nuggets out of the Win Column.

Laker Nation LAKERS @ Mile High NUGGETS featuring "ROCKY" the Mascot

PLAYBOOK

The Lakers have the .500 mark within reach and the Mile Nuggets (the #5 Seed in West at 35-22) stand in their way as the Jazz and Rockets both lost in their last outings. Can the Laker muster up enough Offense and slow down the Ultra-Athletic and quick Nuggets and PG Ty Lawson? Can the Nuggets hit the LakeShow early for the Knockout punch and coast the rest of the way?

As we move into Playbook this is a bad match up for the Lakers even for Kobe as he will get Iggy of Mile High draped over him as well as Wilson Chandler and Corey Brewer. The Nuggets will force the other Lakers including Nash to make plays and Baskets as Kobe might get thirty but it will be a Hard thirty. 

Nash will need help in slowing down the "Little Engine that runs Team Nuggets" in Ty Lawson. Lawson has been the Nuggets most consistent player in the last month and arguably their MVP to date. The Lakers will throw the BLAKEshow "Fighting Turtles" Edition in PG Steve Blake and possibly Chris Duhon at Lawson. If Lawdawg tries to go to the O-Zone Layer the Kobe System is on Ready 5 Alert.

In the Front Court "As Dwight Turns" is playing with Pain but should be able to take advantage of the weakest part of the Nuggets. Howard should get touches right away to see how the Nuggets are going to play him. M.W.P. will have Gallanari and the "Earl of Staples" will have the "MANimal" Kenneth Faried. Its is imperative that Clark keep Faried of the Glass and match is Energy especially in Transition. The Nuggets love "Splash Plays" and the Lakers have to keep the Nuggets from getting those easy Rim Runs or Leak Outs.
