Lakers @ Oklahoma City, Game 3

[IronMexican]

Great series so far. This looks like 1998 Kobe out there right now.

:lol

[oh crap]

hey lakaluva and the rest of the durant haters.. where ya'll at now?

[himat]

Kobe is shooting terrible right now...he's 4/10 from 3 which is pretty good but 5/17 on all shots inside the arc.

9/27 overall.

[sribb43]

Where is Ariza?

[Killakobe81]

but hey...he is shooting better than the 33% he has shiot for the last 3 motnhs....he is on fire 2nite!!!!!! keep shooting chuckster!

DUDE. your shoit is getting tired he just made 2 assists ...Odom is playing like GARBAGE even AFTER phil caled him out yet you bitching about Kobe?

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Damn, I don't even have a legitimate rooting interest and this game is giving me goosebumps.

Shades of '07 GSW-dallas going on right now.

[MiamiHeat]

this is why Fisher plays

the man is one of the most clutch guards in the league. he ALWAYS fucking hits big shots to save the lakers ass.

[Amarelooms]

Regardless of the outcome...Kobe has been OWNED this game

:elephant

[Capt Bringdown]

I have yet to see Fisher NOT hit a killer clutch shot in the PO.

[oh crap]

coming through in true superstar style! .. (now hold on okc, don't make me look bad here)

[hitmanyr2k]

If LA loses this game I wonder if Barkley and Kenny will have Part II of their "best player in the game" discussion.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

DUDE. your shoit is getting tired he just made 2 assists ...Odom is playing like GARBAGE even AFTER phil caled him out yet you bitching about Kobe?

Um, have you been watching the game at all? Single handedly shooting y'all right out of this game right now.

[sribb43]

Kobe is shooting terrible right now...he's 4/10 from 3 which is pretty good but 5/17 on all shots inside the arc.

9/27 overall.

But Kobe is a warrior, he is playing with so many injuries....he is a machine

[bostonguy]

Comon OKC finish it here

[IronMexican]

DUDE. your shoit is getting tired he just made 2 assists ...Odom is playing like GARBAGE even AFTER phil caled him out yet you bitching about Kobe?

Is Odom getting 30 mill a season? Is Odom the leader of this team? Is Odom the one who went on the Radio and asked for a trade cause this team wasn't good enough for him?

[oh crap]

best first round series imo

[oh crap]

oKC ball!

[oh crap]

ah.. nevermind

[hitmanyr2k]

Looks like the refs gave LA a break :lol That ball went off Odom.

[Spurologist]

Refs got a call from Stern to over turn the call

[oh crap]

ouch.. odom

[tlongII]

That was OKC ball! Bullshit!

[oh crap]

westbrook again!!

[sribb43]

Should have been okc ball

[baseline bum]

Nice shot Russell.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Holy fucking SHIT Westbrook! Got DAMN

[oh crap]

That was OKC ball! Bullshit!

are you surprised? this is LA afterall

[KidCongo]

Kobe time?

[oh crap]

come on.... .

[Capt Bringdown]

You cannot help but love Westbrook, what balls and heart.

[sribb43]

Damn I want to head up I-35 and go to game 4

[BanditHiro]

rofl artest was just hugging durant and they did not call it?

[hitmanyr2k]

Uh oh. Gasol is no sure thing on the foul line.

[KidCongo]

Choke's on here for Gasol I reckon.

[bostonguy]

Fucking Thunder letting LA hang around

[milkshakeballa]

Holy shit....kobe passses and what in the fuck happensss


i aint rocket science u selfish fucking

[MiamiHeat]

see what I mean?

when shit hits the fan, Kobe knows to run the Pick N roll with Gasol

he's just a selfish motherfucker and doesnt do it until he has to

[milkshakeballa]

watch otu for a kobe game winner 2nite 2...i got a feelin....

[oh crap]

shit...... this is too close for comfort

[Hank the Tank]

kobe has had like 3 assists and just fed gasol with a nice pass since he got dominated by durant. if only he did that all the time instead of looking only for his own shot...

[Amarelooms]

Not as bad as Duncan owned Dirk in Denver. The look on Cubans face was priceless.

in DENVER???? You fail fuck face....nice try dummy

:elephant

[bostonguy]

:bang:bang:bang Thunder have to convert here or its trouble. You can't let the Lakers hang around in these type of games.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i thought artest was hugging durant intentionally..and no fking foul called

[oh crap]

Damn I want to head up I-35 and go to game 4

me too, brah. shit would be wild, especially if thunder win it

[milkshakeballa]

see what I mean?

when shit hits the fan, Kobe knows to run the Pick N roll with Gasol

he's just a selfish motherfucker and doesnt do it until he has to

i do think they save the PnR for the 4rth. They should have ran it exculsively with 5 minutes to go tho...

[LoneStarState'sPride]

You cannot help but love Westbrook, what balls and heart.

Nothing but. Kind of like somebody else I've heard tell about..........

[Capt Bringdown]

OKC needs to score here or I fear they will lose it.
This is ballgame.

[baseline bum]

About fucking time they call a foul on Artest for his shit.

[hitmanyr2k]

Is Artest trying to test the refs to see how much he can get away with? :lol

[oh crap]

less than a minute to go.. foul on artest

[Spurologist]

They finally called a shot on artest.....let's if durant mans up and hits 2 ft

[oh crap]

makes em both

[baseline bum]

1998 Kobe in full effect. WTF was that shit?

[Technique]

lol kobe

[milkshakeballa]

LOL westbrook looking off durant...love the fuckin swag...id do the same shit against fisher

[oh crap]

just wow. hold on oKC

[LoneStarState'sPride]

This game is an instant classic, IMO

[Amarelooms]

get the ball to Durant dummy...what the fuck was that inbounder doing...almost turned it over :elephant

[bostonguy]

Gotta inbound the ball and make your free throws OKC.

[oh crap]

This game is an instant classic, IMO

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol the okc crowd :lol

[baseline bum]

Time for Kobe to shoot another contested 25 footer.

[oh crap]

[bostonguy]

Game over. Badass win for OKC.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

100!

GAME, bitches!

[himat]

OKC up four. LA should shoot a 3 right?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

green doesn't look too happy out there

[IronMexican]

Lakers win this game if Kobe doesn't lace em up today.

[dirk4mvp]

Doug Collins is on Kobe's balls so hard. It's hard to listen to

[oh crap]

rofl.. crofl... lol . now what, laker fan???? durant haters? clingingmars and others who called a sweep??? what now??

[Spurologist]

Those FTs barely move the net it's so pure. Thunder up 4 against the lakers with 12 sec left

[MiamiHeat]

Wtf happened with the tnt feed?

[himat]

100!

GAME, bitches!

Don't speak too soon man.

[baseline bum]

Lawler's Law :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Anyone dare to say Durant plays softly now?

Outplayed the best player in the universe down the stretch with killer D, clutch FG and FT shooting.

FACE

[Amarelooms]

so no real sweeps in the 1st round...unless the Miami cHeat and Bobcats suck it up :elephant

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Don't speak too soon man.

True. Shut my mouth for me, please.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Now can I say it?

[Spurologist]

[picc84]

This game's on Kobe. Motherfucking dumbass nigga.

[Killakobe81]

nice win.

[oh crap]

lol defending champs
lol those who called a sweep
lol durant haters
lol losing to the 8 seed

[oh crap]

where in the fuck is lakaluva?

[tlongII]

The Lakers aren't going to win at OKC. No way.

[BanditHiro]

The city of Seattle cried a little tonight!

and portland

[Killakobe81]

Not just on kobe. sorry. Where was Odom? But Kobe was a primary culprit.

[ffadicted]

The Lakers have been.... Thunderstruck :hat

[Spurologist]

Kobe passing it Famer instead of taking the shot?

the durantulla was all over him....He's gonna cry in the locker room and have nightmares tonight.

:lmao

[Killakobe81]

The Lakers aren't going to win at OKC. No way.

Blazers will not win @Portland no way !! LOL

[Killakobe81]

We will win game 4 I said Lakers in 5 ...not worried . I never said sweep.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol @ Kenny. You know he's sitting there thinking "Kobe just made me look like a damn fool"

[D-Wade #3]

We will win game 4 I said Lakers in 5 ...not worried . I never said sweep.

You should be, this could easily be 3-0 Thunder if it weren't for breakdowns at the end. Thunder got a win tonight that might do wonders for their confidence

[Jacob1983]

So how much will Phil get fined this time when he bitches about Durant and the refs?

[oh crap]

after the 10-0 laker start what an amazing game and show of heart! jesus fucking christ. this series will be tied going back to LA. hell, the thunder almost stole a game in LA already. lol @ laker fan. seriously, fuck you guys. i don't expect you to be humbled but this is a start.

[picc84]

Phil says shoot less or better and this nigga shoots more and worse. 3 years extended near 30 mil, get the fuck out of here with that shit. Stupid ass management has fucked this franchise worse this year with all the bad decisions than the next team in the playoffs is going to.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

First playoff game in the state of Oklahoma and they up and beat the defending champs.

Not a bad night!

[Red Hawk #21]

I'm so proud of the Zombies. Such a hard fought win. Those guys have the potential to be a future dynasty.

[Giuseppe]

[quote=oh crap;4268711]thunder almost/quote]

That "almost" shit will get ya Atlanta Hawks.

tee, hee.

[Lars]

LG is probably a waterfall of tears right now.

[oh crap]

"in 3 years, kevin durant will be the best player in basketball"!!! i love it!!!!!

[Banzai]

Thunder played well..hopefully Lakers make game 4 interesting.

[Killakobe81]

LG is probably a waterfall of tears right now.

IDK I didnt go there tonight I figured we would lose i was surprised the game was that close

[Giuseppe]

"in 3 years, kevin durant will be the best player in basketball"!!! i love it!!!!!

At O & Forever you should.

[Killakobe81]

"in 3 years, kevin durant will be the best player in basketball"!!! i love it!!!!!

He could be ...

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Robert Horry=Clutch approved.

ya think?

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Holy crap I missed that dunk from Westbrook that made it 20-11. Got damn he's electric.

[hitmanyr2k]

"in 3 years, kevin durant will be the best player in basketball"!!! i love it!!!!!

Does Kenny Smith hate Lebron James? :lol He just refuses to give him any props whatsoever.

[DJ Mbenga]

i wonder if phil is in the process of losing 50,000 dollars

[mogrovejo]

Same pattern as the first 2 games. LA really knows how to deliver the first quarter knock-out.


Durant with 2, that's brutal.
Lakers in full control. They're scary-good.

Why do you make so many posts praising the Lakers? Do you really think they're that good? They've played 3 close games and it was very predictable. This are two teams of similar quality and the series can go both ways.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :lmao

I mean, is this sarcasm or something? I think this board/Spurs fans overrate Kobe more than Lakers fans.

[cobbler]

Tip of the hat to the Thunder! Great game and a lot of poise. LOL at everyone making it all about Kobe and Durant. Kobe played a good 1st half, Durant played a terrible first half but contributed with rebounds. Kobe played a terrible 4th quarter with some forced shots. In addition to the forced ones a couple of his shots were results of others standing around and/or dribbling and tossing it to him late in the clock. Still, you have to knock em down. He simply didn't. Durant (33%) Kobe (34%) Difference was Durant got his and was clutch in the 4th. Kudos. Durant led all players in rebs. Kobe led all players in assists.

Now, with all that said. The difference in this game was defense. The Thunder turned theirs up in the 4th with gritty team defense and contesting everything. The Lakers resorted to standing around and reaching in. Brooks switching Durant on Kobe was a brilliant move. You are never going to win a game where you allow the the opposition to go to the line 34 to your 12. Never. (17 pt differential) Ouuuch. Pathetic D.

Westbrook is a beast and even though Fish actually shot well, his turnstyle D is just horrible but it's not like that is a surprise.

Did Lamar make the trip? I didn't see him. What a friggen ghost.

The Thunder out hustled and out defensed the Lakers in the 2nd half and deserved the win. Gustsy performance for a young team that showed veteran composure. :toast

[Killakobe81]

I'm so proud of the Zombies. Such a hard fought win. Those guys have the potential to be a future dynasty.

Co-sign brightest future of the young teams.

[oh crap]

quick recap:

lakers:
defending NBA champs
number 1 western conference seed
tons of playoff experience

thunder:
8 seed
youngest team in the playoffs (league?)
next to no playoff experience
relocated franchise

their first win, but could easily be up 2-1 at this point. :lmao

lol @ all the haters and laker nut huggers

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Countdown to Phil Jackson complaining about the refs like the overrated talentless piece of shit that he is:

5....4....3....2...

[HarlemHeat37]

Sucks that OKC is some poor coaching in game 2 away from having a series lead IMO..that's part of inexperience though, nothing you can do about it..be happy with the wins, and try to get another one at home..I still think LA wins in 5, but they certainly don't look too good..

+1....The Thunder made the Lakers look pretty old/slow on some possesions...and how the Thunder outrebound the way bigger frontline of the Lakers by so much was a pretty big surprise..

[Jacob1983]

Do you think Stern is tempted to make this series go to 7 games? Is it possible he might want Kevin Durant to advance to the 2nd round this year? Personally, I would love to see the Lakers blow a 2-0 lead in the first round. Sadly, this will not happen. The rapist will probably have 40 in the next game and get to the line at least 15 times. Lakers probably in 5 or 6.

[TampaDude]

29 and 19 for Durant last night...OKC owned the boards...if the Thunder tie the series, watch out!!! I still think the Lakers win the series, though. They're just too deep. ;)

Heh...you caught that, eh??? ;)

LOL Lakers bench...LOL 14 points... :lmao

[Ashy Larry]

LG is probably a waterfall of tears right now.


nothing more than a big fuckin' whine fest ..... that's all theyare over there. Cry like a bunch of bitches on their periods. Lakers lost 25 games this year and they were jobbed 25 times. Oh it was the refs. It's always the refs with them.

If you shoot 31 three pointers, you don't deserve to go to the line. Period. And Bryant was awful. Anyone shooting like shit doesn't need 29 shots.

[monosylab3k]

Westbrook is a fuggin beast

[picc84]

What the fuck is everyone talking about? There are 2 refs threads on LG's front page and the rest are bitching about Kobe and his dumbass shot selection.
