Lakers in six

It's great that the Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals.
But that's as far as the ride goes.
In spite of the Denver sports media's efforts to crown the Nuggets the next NBA champions, it's not going to happen this year.
The Lakers are too talented and too deep for Denver. Even if the Lakers' alter ego shows up for the two to three games in Denver, the Angelinos are far and away the better team.
It won't be a whitewash just for the fact that the Lakers are very inconsistent. How else do you beat a Yao Ming-less team by 40, then get your clock cleaned two nights later?
It will be an entertaining series. But make mine Lakers in six.
