难对付的掘金主场
http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakerep24apr24,1,6776979.story
湖人周五做客掘金，届时的天气还不错，大部分时候都是晴天，只有一点让人无法忍受。
那就是它的海拔。
掘金队喜欢呆在那里，而它的对手们则恨不得早点离开，这是掘金队另一个层面上的主场优势。
然而掘金新城和旅游局都很欢迎旅游者们的到来，甚至邀请大家浏览他们的网站“Try the Air”。
湖人迟早是要经历这一切的，季后赛第三场第四场比赛都要在这个高原上进行。
“那里很干燥，呼吸有点困难，感觉不太安全。”前锋奥多姆说。
掘金本赛季主场战绩为33胜8负，湖人今年仅在那里赢过一场，即12月5号艾弗森拿下51分的那场比赛，湖人111-107胜。那次湖人还是背靠背，前一天晚上他们刚刚战胜森林狼。
自掘金1976年加盟NBA以来，湖人和掘金之间的交手战绩为20胜28负，不过教练菲尔·杰克逊还是警告队员们，要是不尊重这支球队的话他们会很麻烦。
当然湖人队员们都有各自的适应方法。
“多喝点水就好。我还在快船队的时候，我一般都会带一个吸氧器，很有帮助。到了高原上，我通常都会站在大厅里大口的呼吸空气，让鼻子保持畅通。这样就不会感觉太干燥了。”这是奥多姆的经验。
第三场比赛定在周六，第四场则在周一。

杰克逊一向讨厌那些假设性的问题，特别是在这个档口上。不过当记者问到有关拜纳姆和加索尔的问题时，他还是表示拜纳姆本赛季彻底报销。
“要回答这个问题是不可能的，我们要到下个赛季才会考虑这个问题。”禅师表示。
------
如果下场克雷扎继续首发的话，德里克·费舍尔将继续防守艾弗森，这样的话科比就不得不防守更为强壮也更为高大的克雷扎。
小鱼跟腱的拉伤稍有环节，不过他还是需要多休息。
“接下来的比赛很艰苦。全队上下都应该给予小鱼更多的支持帮助他度过这个难关。”杰克逊说。

图里亚夫由于喉咙痛缺席了周三的比赛。考比·卡尔顶替图里亚夫参加了第二场比赛。
肋骨受伤的姆本加周一的时候参加了训练，今天的比赛也有上场。

Nuggets' home can take their breath away
The weather will be tolerablewhen the Lakers land in Denver on Friday -- crisp and mostly sunny,somewhere in the 50s -- but there's that one constant that won't be sowelcoming.
The altitude.
The Denver Nuggets love it and opponents can't wait to leave it, giving new meaning to home-court advantage.
Even the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau seems to embrace it, inviting visitors to their website to "Try the Air."
The Lakers will do that, sooner than later, as Games 3 and 4 shift to the mile-high milieu.
"It's so dry. That's what kind of takes your breath," forward Lamar Odom said. "It's kind of crazy."
The Nuggets were 33-8 atPepsi Center this season, although the Lakers managed to win their onlytime there, 111-107, surviving the 51 points by Allen Iverson in a Dec.5 game. It was the second night of a back-to-back for the Lakers, whowon at Minnesota the previous night.
The Lakers have a respectful40-28 record in Denver since the Nuggets joined the NBA in 1976,although Coach Phil Jackson seems plenty wary of the elevation, if notrespectful of it.
"Supposedly in an altitude,it's the [first] 24 hours you're OK and then after that, it affectsyou," he said. "That's how much I buy into it, to know that much aboutit."
The Lakers each have their own way of coping.
"You just try to drink a lotof water," Odom said. "When I played with the Clippers, I used to playwith a Breathe Right. That helped. I go up there now, I try to keep aHalls or something in my mouth, get your nasal passages open. You don'tdry up as much."
Game 3 is Saturday and Game 4 is Monday.

Jackson hates hypotheticalquestions, preferring to live in the moment, although he furthered thenotion that Andrew Bynum would not be back this season when asked aboutBynum and Pau Gasol.
"It's impossible to answer that," Jackson said. "Hopefully we'll figure that out next year."
------
Derek Fisher will guardIverson more often if Linas Kleiza continues to start for the Nuggets,which forces Bryant off Iverson and onto the stronger, taller Kleiza.
The partially torn tendon in Fisher's right foot feels fine, but he will still need backup.
"It's a tough matchup regardless," Jackson said. "He's going to need team help all the way through."
------
Ronny Turiaf did not attendWednesday's game because of a sore throat. Coby Karl took Turiaf's spoton the active roster for Game 2. . . . DJ Mbenga played in Game 2despite getting kneed in the ribs Monday at practice.
