Do not underestimate the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals against
the Lakers.  I'm not predicting a Denver win, mind you, but I guarantee
that the Lakers will have plenty of problems getting to the championship
round.

This is a very tough Denver team that has proved it can play against the best
in the league.  (Two wins in the Forum during the regular season, and a split
in the season series against both Boston and Philadelphia)

The Nuggets aren't as talented as the Lakers, but they are tougher and more
together and have refused to lose the big games.  I'm looking forward to an
excellent series that will go a minimum of 6 games.  Also looking forward to
watching Dunn and Hanzlik handcuff the Magic Crybaby.

Go Nuggets!
