Last trip to the Mile High City.

Game 6. The Lakers travel to Denver one last time this post season in hopes to end this tough series against the Nuggets. All the pressure is on Denver now. They need to win the next two games in order to get past the Lakers. But let me remind you that this LA team hasn't lost a back-to-back since late March.

The Lakers only need this one win. One win in order to make it back to the Finals this year. And an extra four more wins to become Champs. But lets not get too ahead of ourselves. Like we've been doing all season, we're taking it one game at a time. And when the Lakers are able to muster up one more win. Off to face the Cavs. Oh wait, Magic maybe?

In the first four games of the series, the Media pestered the Lakers as being too soft to contend with the physically defensive, Denver team. But what Kobe and friends showed in Game 5 was a mental and physical toughness, which sort of dumbfounded the Nuggets. But now arises that all too familiar question, "Can the Lakers play this way consistently?" In my opinion, yes.

Time and time again the Lakers go into this slump only to come out with resilience. But I think what happened in Game 5 was different. Now I could be wrong. But I think that something clicked in them. They way they play not only looked different, but felt different. I look to see a different Laker team from now on. Game 6 belongs to the Lakers.
