Kenny Smith Kenny Smith's Scorecard

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.
