For those who don't have the time to read reports, let me sum up in very quickly the "marginal factor" why the Nuggets are in this series with the Lakers. Were it not for this extra factor added to the foundation of a high energy and aggressive defense, the Nuggets would not be where they are.
Of course the marginal factor has to be an offensive one, because it is clear that the Nuggets are coached much more poorly on offense than on defense.
The extra factor is that Carmelo Anthony is back to being a power scorer again after dropping out during the regular season this year. Specifically, his shooting percentage is back up close to .500, which is one of the main requirements for being a successful power scorer. Moreover, for the first time ever, Anthony brings fairly good three point shooting to the playoffs.
Much more detail is in other reports.
Here we are going to check out the latest and the most popular videos for Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant, the two power scorers involved in this series. How about you pick out some and watch some videos and you can be the judge of who is the better player and/or of who is going to advance to the Championship this year.
I personally don't know who is going to win anymore. Although Melo will not make 30 points every single game in this series, the Nuggets might still win a game when he does not score 30, due to their high energy and aggressive defense. Plus, if Melo makes 30 or more points in the clear majority of the games, 5 out of 7 of them for example, the Nuggets could obviously win the series just by winning those games.
