The misspelling above for Lakers was accidental, but as it turns out, appropriate.

First full NBA game I have seen this season.

Thoughts:
1. It's the Nuggets' series to lose.
2. C. Anthony has to have one of the most beautiful, effortless offensive skillsets in all of basketball. Beautiful stroke, always under control.
3. Andersen--I really like this kid. Active on boards, monster on defense. Had I had the height and athleticism of this kid, I like to think I would have probably been this kind of player. Off-the-bench defensive scrapper.
4. It was hilarious to see Fisher flop on that 3 pointer. No one touched him, he kicks his leg in the air like he has just been hit with a sledgehammer.
5. Bynum is the modern-day resurrection of the Tyranosaurus Rex, i.e a pea-brain. It's like they took Plaisted's* basketball IQ and transplanted it into Bynum's body.
6. Billups, another fun player to watch. He's the guy we secretly hope will punch Fisher in the nose.

*Plaisted apparently played two games overseas and got hurt. While I am tempted to make a crack about.....well, never mind.....
