Nuggets coach George Karl knows that the Lakers are a very good team, but refuses to believe that they are unbeatable.

"I think (the Lakers) are a great team, don't get me wrong, but I don't think they're in that 'unbeatable' category that people want to put them in," Karl told the Denver Post.

"In the playoffs, you don't have to play good games every night, you just have to play four good ones. They're pretty powerful and have a great home-court advantage. But it would be a fun challenge to get to the conference finals."
