Kenny Smith Kenny Smith's Scorecard
| Lakers | Category | Nuggets | Reason |
| Backcourt | Lakers | Billups has steadied the Nuggets and given them some much-needed leadership. Kobe, however, will dominate in this series. | |
| Nuggets | Frontcourt | Melo's inside-out combination makes him an extremely tough cover. K-Mart and Nene are also athletic and play hard. | |
| Nuggets | Bench | Lakers | Odom is back leading the Lakers' bench; Farmar has improved over the past two weeks. Andersen and Smith can both change games with their athleticism and energy. |
| Coaching | Lakers | Jackson is arguably the best coach in NBA history, but don't sell Karl short. |
Kenny's Pick: Lakers
Kenny's Pick is the LAKERS. If the Lakers play with the energy and effort they showed in Game 7 against the Rockets, they'll be going back to the NBA Finals. Lakers in 6.
