The Western Conference Finals has shaped up to be what we all want.

It's the LA Lakers vs the Denvern Nuggets in a 1-2 seed match up, in which there will be outrageous point totals. LA should be an easy favorite in this series after winning the regular series 3-1, but since Denver has caught on fire, everyone is skeptical now.


Denver is a team that is very versatile and can beat you in a numerous of ways. The duo of all-stars Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony are vital in Denver's chances because they are the team leaders. Click here for Denver stats.


If one or either stars don't show up, then Denver is done. However, Denver's bench will be the x-factor because their play has too match Billups and Anthony's and more for them to win this series. J.R. Smith has to knock down three's while Chris Anderson has to continue being a defensive force and rebounding machine.

LA will easily dismantle Denver's defensive pressure because the duo of Kobe and Gasol is unguardable. Kobe's aggressive to attack their rim while also hitting fade aways will shake Denver's confidence. Moreover, Kobe has Billups on him so his job will be easier. Billups is holding the best perimeter player in the game, and he's holding him while he's at his best. Kobe and LA's post-season stats.

It's funny how everyone is loving Denver when they start to catch on fire. But that fire has to be light out eventually, and LA will definitely put out the match.

Denver success is mainly due to Chauncey Billups, because without him they wouldn't be able to reach the Conference Finals. LA's guards Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar will tire him out, as well as get him in foul trouble which limits his time on the court. They have no solid point guard on the bench to produce as much as Billups can, and LA will capitalize on that.

LA's strength overall will lead them to the finals. Their inside game is dangerous, and Denver doesn't have anyone I think who is tough enough to hold Gasol, Bynum, and Odom. Even if they try to double team them, all are great passers which will leave people open and easy jump shots will be made.


The Lakers should take this series to 6 games, and easily win in Denver heading to the finals for the second straight year.
