WC Game 2 Lakers at Thunder sponsored by Atif's pinkage

[Riddler]

Their frontrunning has become comical at this point. Predictions for tonight?

[Venti Quattro]

OKC goes up 2-0.

[VBM]

OKC wins by 10+, but by less than 20.

[hater]

hoping lakers make this series closer

Thunder need some competition before facing the Spurs

[DeadlyDynasty]

111-89 Thunder

[VBM]

Stephen Strasburg was bothered by stray Hot Stuff in his groin during Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
Hot Stuff is an analgesic ointment like Icy-Hot that is often used as a muscle-loosener. But it can cause quite a bit of pain when applied to ... more sensitive skin. "I can’t really tell you what the problem was, but some Hot Stuff got misplaced," manager Davey Johnson said. "It was on his shoulder and evidently – I don’t know how it got to where it got, but it was uncomfortable, to say the least." Strasburg allowed four runs in four innings.

:lmao

[TimmehC]

Much closer game, but OKC should still win.

[Venti Quattro]

111-89 Thunder

I'm looking at a beatdown to the tune of 122-86 or 131-92.

[baseline bum]

I think OKC crushes again; they look ridiculous this postseason.

[pass1st]

Honestly, either a blowout or a Laker win if the officiating evens out.

A crushing defeat either makes a team snap back to reality or throws them a shovel while they are 6 feet under.

[Reck]

At some point Westbrook is going to come back down to earth. That's when the Lakers will go in.

So the only difference between a Thunder blowout and a Laker win is even officiating?

agree :tu

the rapist needs to go for 80

[pass1st]

So the only difference between a Thunder blowout and a Laker win is even officiating?

Nah, I meant if it's not a blowout and it's competitive then even officiating will be a large factor. With Bynum/Gasol & Hill coming off the bench, there is a huge front court advantage. That can be quickly neutralized with somebody accumulating fouls.

Got it. Haven't seen a fair game called in OKC this year tbh, so not likely.

[TheMACHINE]

The Lakers are gonna play great tonight. Kobe will shoot around 49%. Bynum and Gasol will both have double -doubles. Blake will make 4 3-pointers and Sessions will score 10 points. They are gonna come out blazing...

but they will still lose by 7.

[Banzai]

Just end this series already....

So the lakers gonna score 200 points? :lol

[TheMACHINE]

So the lakers gonna score 200 points? :lol

yah, but OKC will score 207.

[lurker]

It only took 1 game to break Lakers fans. Aww. :(

[Venti Quattro]

Lakers' Ebanks and Bynum Fined (http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/120516_bynum_ebanks_fined.html)

NEW YORK, May 16, 2012 – Los Angeles Lakers forward Devin Ebanks and center Andrew Bynum have each been fined for separate violations, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.

Ebanks has been fined $25,000 for actions prior to and following his ejection from the Lakers’ 119-90 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals on May 14.

Bynum has been fined $15,000 for failing to make himself available to the media following the Lakers’ practice on May 15.

[z0sa]

If LA gets blown out again, especially if it occurs with little contribution from Sessions while Westbrook goes off, they are in huge trouble. OKC's personnel and gameplan are perfectly suited for beating LA unless LA's starting 5 does some extreme heavy lifting.

[ElNono]

Mike Br:lolwn will make the necessary adjustments and Lakers will compete this time around... and if they don't, there will be some ejections... :lol

[Reck]

Damn there goes Ebanks whole year salary. :lol

[Jt.ONE]

if thunder dont win by 15+, i'll be surprised

[shyne]

Sefolosha looking like Bruce Bowen guarding Kobe this series.

[GB20]

wow ibaka is a blocking machine

[Josepatches_]

Iblocka

[Nathan89]

Bynum didn't even try to shoot there. He better not get free-throws.

[GB20]

Sefolosha looking like Bruce Bowen guarding Kobe this series.

but kobe is getting help from the refs as always

[Killakobe81]

Bynum didn't even try to shoot there. He better not get free-throws.

Who cares? Series will be over in 6 or less that call means little

[Killakobe81]

Lol Nathan he got Fts

[Reck]

Well Lakers are happy they're not down 20 yet.

Also Westbrook is looking like his old self out there.

[shyne]

Whoever comes out of the east is gonna get buttfucked by either okc or sa.

[GB20]

dawn Durant is freaking long

[WeNeedLength]

I can't wait for some chippy shit to happen.. :corn:

[Killakobe81]

Karma for MWP

[Red Hawk #21]

lol and Harden gets some revenge on artest

[Josepatches_]

OKC aren't so great. They weren't so good in the 1st round or regular season

But Lakers are this bad.And they were all year.

SA will win the West

[Reck]

Karma for MWP

What happened to him?

Currently watching Hockey here.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fish!

[GB20]

Bynum is really aggressive tonight and that is a good sign for the lakers

[lurker]

:lol at that Fisher 3.

[Venti Quattro]

Ron got elbowed by Harden in the nose.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It bears repeating over and over: The Lakers are FUCKING SLOW. OKC is going to pull away in the 2nd half again. Worst playoff matchup evuh

[GB20]

the lakers is dictating the tempo so far

[Killakobe81]

What happened to him?

Currently watching Hockey here.

Inadvertent harden elbow

[Nathan89]

Congrats on winning your 1st quarter of the series.:toast

[WeNeedLength]

It bears repeating over and over: The Lakers are FUCKING SLOW. OKC is going to pull away in the 2nd half again. Worst playoff matchup evuh

Even after Savior Sessions greatly improved the speed at PG? :lol

[Killakobe81]

It bears repeating over and over: The Lakers are FUCKING SLOW. OKC is going to pull away in the 2nd half again. Worst playoff matchup evuh

Yep Okc by 8 pts ... I would take Lakers Plus 10 though

[Nathan89]

What happened to him?

Currently watching Hockey here.

"Ouch!"-David Stern

[LakerHater]

Revenge

http://uppix.net/3/2/3/e5a466ddb8a503e8d1646dee41989.jpg

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yep Okc by 8 pts ... I would take Lakers Plus 10 though

I didn't bet...tbh I didn't even feel comfortable teasing the line up to +15:lol

[NRHector]

Inadvertent harden elbow

Artest probably got on Harden's way

[Killakobe81]

I don't like the rotation on the road against a younger faster team. Bynum and Kobe played the whole 1st quarter.

[Darth_Pelican]

too many whistles, let them fucking play

[Darth_Pelican]

Collison is outrebounding and outworking Gasol

[Venti Quattro]

God fucking damnit. Clear the boards. Don't let Collison linger.

[resistanze]

4 fouls to 0 this quarter already.

[resistanze]

:lol in the penalty

[Killakobe81]

Wow they just give harden foul calls but give him credit he drives hard

[Venti Quattro]

lol the Lakers are in the penalty this early?

[InTheCrust]

:lol in the penalty

:rollin

L:lolkers = F:lolcked

[resistanze]

lol the Lakers are in the penalty this early?

:lmao 2 minutes

[IronMaxipad]

Blake...

[Venti Quattro]

The Lakers might finish with 15 team fouls before this quarter ends.

[DAF86]

Hopefully Perkins gets healthy for the WCF.

[Nathan89]

Hopefully Perkins gets healthy for the WCF.

Agreed. Too slow and not long enough to cover Duncan. Plus we can exploit him on PnR.

[DMC]

Kobe and Westbrook dueling it out to see who can chuck the most bricks.

[Venti Quattro]

Nice pass by MWP. Yeah, you are passing to a 7-foot guy!

[Jeremy]

"Nice job guys. Real nice. You're doing a nice job."

That's why Mike Brown will not last long. lol

[LnGrrrR]

Well Lakerfan, it was fun having you in the playoffs for a little bit. :lmao

[Red Hawk #21]

Why is Artest always owning Harden in some way? lol

[lurker]

That's some 3 stooges shit. :lmao

[IronMaxipad]

:lmao

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Ron-Ron

[LakerHater]

How the fuck does Harden get a foul?????

[IronMaxipad]

There goes harden putting his chin on people

[LakerHater]

UH-OH, here come the whistles for fLakers!

[DMC]

Reggie Miller makes my ears bleed. He's always using phrases out of context. "We have the benefit of doubt with these instant replays". Earlier he says "the crowd is giving Sefalosha a huge ovation, as Harden enters the game" :lol.

He's one of the stupidest "experts" in the history of the game.

[NRHector]

this fucking pathetic the refs helping the Lakers again

[Red Hawk #21]

Refs calling a lot of BS.

[Reck]

Wow this laker squad is thugging it up.

[Venti Quattro]

Jordan Hill!

[Darth_Pelican]

Hill doing work

[NRHector]

I'm expecting a fight in this game

[InRareForm]

refs doing work lol

[Reck]

Jordan Hill!

You're gonna miss him when he's in jail serving time for choking his girlfriend. lol

[Venti Quattro]

The refs are evening out the BS. :lol

Ron-Ron. :lol

[LakerHater]

GODAMN these whistles!!!

[Nathan89]

Refs must have got a call from Stern to make this game competitive. All of a sudden bad calls, bad calls everywhere.

[Darth_Pelican]

Bynum still hasn't learned that when you get double teamed underneath, someone is wide open

[LnGrrrR]

refs doing work lol

Refs realized they were calling the game fairly and the Lakers were in foul trouble, just course correction tbh :lmao

[Killakobe81]

LOL bet u guys bitching about calls but Lakers have more fouls this quarter than okc

[Killakobe81]

Predictable

[Nathan89]

The refs are evening out the BS. :lol

Ron-Ron. :lol

The refs called a lot of fouls on the Lakers but they weren't terrible call like these.

[lurker]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1123671/revenge.gif
lol flop

[IronMaxipad]

The foul by perkins was a clear foul. two hands in the back push on bynum. :wakeup

[Venti Quattro]

But of course when the fouls are in favor of the Lakers, it's fucking murder. Get the fuck out of here.

[Reck]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1123671/revenge.gif
lol flop

These niggas gotta call Manu. They're doing it wrong.

The delay reaction is atrocious.

[Red Hawk #21]

Jordan Hill is starting to blossom.

[Venti Quattro]

Jordan Hill with a sweet J.

[LnGrrrR]

The foul by perkins was a clear foul. two hands in the back push on bynum. :wakeup

Tbh, the OKC squad is too squeaky clean without Perkins. They need someone to muscle/thug up slightly against these Lakers.

[Reck]

Kobe just gave Marv an organs.

[LakerHater]

Reggie Miller sux!

[Venti Quattro]

The foul by perkins was a clear foul. two hands in the back push on bynum. :wakeup

These faggots like to complain about the refs but conveniently ignore the heap of shit that OKC gets or go blind when legit fouls are called for LA.

[IronMaxipad]

http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-2anbac.gif

[LakerHater]

WoW, Durant!

[lurker]

Kobe just gave Marv an organs.
He donated an organ and is still out there playing? True warrier.

[Technique]

http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-2anbac.gif

Did he get called for a foul? If not this man is a genius.

[Venti Quattro]

Pau didn't even run back. :lmao

[NRHector]

did you see that Spurs? that's how you finish a lay up

[Killakobe81]

Smart timeout Bynum not recognizing double. Pau needs to hit some jumpers, Ibaka not respecting him at all.

[NRHector]

Did he get called for a foul? If not this man is a genius.

are you talking about Fisher? because Fisher got called for a foul

[LakerHater]

did you see that Spurs? that's how you finish a lay up
:tu

[Venti Quattro]

MVPau doing work.

[IronMaxipad]

Pau attacked the basket? :wow

[Venti Quattro]

:lol :lol :lol Metta

[Venti Quattro]

Crofl what the fuck Mike? Troy Murphy to finish the half?

[NRHector]

Coach Kobe doing more coaching than Coach Brown :lol

[IronMaxipad]

Troy Murphy in for defensive purposes obviously.

[Killakobe81]

Okc run ... We staying close but don't think it will be enuff

[Reck]

Men At Work, another gay comedy shit no one will watch.

[NRHector]

Thunder got this game even with the refs helping the Lakers

[Darth_Pelican]

The fouls and FTs are not entertaining but there's no doubt that it has helped the Lakers by slowing the game down.

[Killakobe81]

Lakers shitty 3 pt shooting killing us again

[IronMaxipad]

OKC always fucks the lakers in the 3rd quarter

[Mugen]

too many fouls. That favors the Lakers.

[Capt Bringdown]

OKC shot their wad in the first game. Lakers win game 2 and take control of the series.

[Darth_Pelican]

too many fouls. That favors the Lakers.

It makes the crowd uninterested, which they haven't be nearly as loud as game 1. The only time they have really gotten loud was on the 3 turnovers which lead to layups/dunks, and that is basically the difference in the game so far.

[IronMaxipad]

Do people in OKC not have cable?

[NRHector]

Do people in OKC not have cable?

they have Ipad or satellite

[Capt Bringdown]

Lakers only shooting 42% to OKC's 50%, yet they're right there.

[IronMaxipad]

Is sessions even playing?

[The Batman]

Barkley just shitted on San Antonio yet again lol

[WeNeedLength]

Barkley just shitted on San Antonio yet again lol

Missed it. Was it the river walk or the women??

[Xevious]

Barkley just shitted on San Antonio yet again lol
Why? Because he said the city is fat and the riverwalk is dirty? He isn't lying.

[The Batman]

Missed it. Was it the river walk or the women??
He said the river walk is dirty and that San Antonio is the motherload for Weight Watchers

[WeNeedLength]

He said the river walk is dirty and that San Antonio is the motherload for Weight Watchers

To be expected. Although San Antonio isn't the fattest city anymore. It's actually climbing the list for the drunkest and dropping for fattest. Weird. :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

whistles already

[Venti Quattro]

lol BS call from the ref

[Nathan89]

Not giving Durant free-throws when he's in a shooting motion:lmao

Giving Bynum free-throw for just standing in the paint and getting fouled:lmao

NBA:lmao

[Jt.ONE]

westbrooke :lmao

[Reck]

This series will go 7 games. Winner, undetermined.

With Westbrook being back to reality, the Lakers have a great chance now.

[Venti Quattro]

Not giving Durant free-throws when he's in a shooting motion:lmao

Giving Bynum free-throw for just standing in the paint and getting fouled:lmao

NBA:lmao

Do you want to read our favorite Tommy Nuñez story?

[Darth_Pelican]

Not giving Durant free-throws when he's in a shooting motion:lmao

Giving Bynum free-throw for just standing in the paint and getting fouled:lmao

NBA:lmao

The majority of calls have gone OKC's way this game

[resistanze]

Sessions = scrub

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Sessions
:lmao mini-MLE

[IronMaxipad]

Sessions is garbagggggggggeeee

[WeNeedLength]

Harden is going to come in and drain some 3s and will build a lead..

[Venti Quattro]

Sloppy, sloppy Lakers. :bang

[Darth_Pelican]

complete change in momentum thanks to Sessions.. from a 5 point lead to a 1 point lead

[Jt.ONE]

3 sec violation...

[resistanze]

Gasol's scream flop :lol

[resistanze]

That foul on Ibaka was the worst of the game.

[Xevious]

Jesus Christ... let them play!

[InRareForm]

Kobe took a charge?

[Bynumite]

Blake is like a ghost, he always takes a clear charge every 2 or 3 games but zero respect from the refs.

[NRHector]

Kobe took a charge?

I was thinking the same thing :lol

[Nathan89]

Kobe took a charge?

He doesn't do that.

[lurker]

Kobe took a charge?
And it wasn't for rape. Crazy!

[Red Hawk #21]

lol mike brown is terrible

[GB20]

only six points from the lakers' bench

[Spur_Fanatic]

Lakers got this, unless one of the Lakers 3 starts failing.

[GB20]

the thunder need to bring a new coach if they loose this series

[Venti Quattro]

Stupid foul on Jordan Hill. lol Kobe

[lurker]

Lakers got this, unless one of the Lakers 3 starts failing.
Lakers got this, unless OKC scores more points.

[Nathan89]

Lakers got this, unless OKC stops playing terrible.

[Darth_Pelican]

Thunder only 12 points in the 3rd... game is being played at the Lakers pace. Avoid fast break turnovers in the 4th and they got this.

[LkrFan]

The Thunder are a good team, but tonight they are getting help. They are shooting like 25% in the 3rd quarter, but they are only down 3? :lol

[GB20]

this is an ugly game

[TampaDude]

There has been some epically crappy officiating in this game tonight.

[NRHector]

thunder got this if the refs let them play

[IronMaxipad]

Well at least lakers didn't get skull fucked in the 3rd this time.

[GB20]

harden has not made a shot tonight

[Darth_Pelican]

Westbrook will start making bad decisions down the stretch if it's close. (ie chucking)

[LkrFan]

this is a Mike Brown coached Laker game

Fixed for accuracy. We don't need them young bucks running us out of the gym (again).

Mike Brown made adjustments. This game is played at the Lakers' tempo. Let's keep it that way.

[Venti Quattro]

The Thunder are a good team, but tonight they are getting help. They are shooting like 25% in the 3rd quarter, but they are only down 3? :lol
Definitely the refs have put a lid on the OKC goal. They should be owning this quarter! Just impossible.

[Venti Quattro]

harden has not made a shot tonight
He has imo. A runaway dunk.

[GB20]

scott is a horrible coach

[Technique]

I'm surprised a foul wasnt called on that Durant drive. Something is fishy here

[Nathan89]

OKC playing like bitches when the game is close.

[IronMaxipad]

Outside of Kobe and bynum none of these faggots can score

[Red Hawk #21]

lol world brick

[Venti Quattro]

God damn it Ron. Take some meds! Pau, take charge you softy!

[GB20]

finally

[Reck]

Ron Artest with the bads...oh wait. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Mike Brown
:lmao shitty timeout timing

[TampaDude]

harden has not made a shot tonight

Now he has. :lol

[Reck]

With all this bricking, I believe you could build a castle with great success.

[Bynumite]

Shitty stagnant Lakers offense.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Diablo III ad?

[IronMaxipad]

Lakers getting stops but can't fucking score..

[LkrFan]

Blake!

[Venti Quattro]

Miller and Harlan blowing their load :lmao

[Darth_Pelican]

"right between the eyes"

[LakerHater]

Cant see OKC winning this game!

[san antonio spurs]

Brooks really has no clue
:lol being out coached by Brown

[Spur_Fanatic]

This is over. And it's one damn boring game.

[LkrFan]

69-63 - Lakers. Killa just might be wrong about dem Lakers. ;)

[Venti Quattro]

What happens when their jumpshots don't fall?

/SpursDynasty
Who says the Spurs are boring?

[GB20]

cant see okc winning this game!

+1

[Darth_Pelican]

won't be much longer now before Westbrook starts chucking

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully pizza face shows up in the 4th, at some point, tbh..

[Venti Quattro]

Metta, gotta make those charities...

[LkrFan]

6/21 FGs this second half. 17 points. Yet, they are down 4. They are getting help! :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Oh my god Kobe...

[IronMaxipad]

da black mamba :cry

[midnightpulp]

Nice win, Lakers fans. But you ain't sweeping at home, so it'll be right back where you started.

[Venti Quattro]

Lol iblocka :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I chose Kobe in the NBA.com Drive To The Finals fantasy game tonight, tbh, hopefully he gets me at least 40 fantasy points:lol..

[LakerHater]

WTF Harden?

[Nathan89]

The fuck is Harden doing with the ball? Durant just hit a three.

[Red Hawk #21]

James Harden wtf son

[resistanze]

:lol Deferring to Ibaka

[IronMaxipad]

Why does OKC keep looking for Ibaka on offense?

[Venti Quattro]

Nice play!

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Kome
:lmao Chuckbe

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Ibaka baseline jump shot is Brooks and Durant's strategy, while Westbrook's strategy is iso pull-up jump shot..

I hate Durant's ugly ass, but he needs to get involved, tbh..stop being a pussy..

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Westbrook

[resistanze]

Jumpshooting team at its finest

[Darth_Pelican]

Nice game Lakers.

[Venti Quattro]

Nice field goal from bitch tits!

[IronMaxipad]

Baby Drew :cry

[Jt.ONE]

[LkrFan]

Baby Drew with the lefty hook! 7 point Laker lead.

Here comes Chuckbrick! :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

he's probably thinking about his outfit for the press conference

[Venti Quattro]

Jumpshooting team at its finest
They are boring because they are not going for layups.

[lurker]

How much chuck could a westbrook chuck?

[FkLA]

This is why as long as LeBron is in the league Durant will never be the best player in the NBA. Hes so predictable in crunchtime, always pulling up and shooting 25+ footers.

[resistanze]

They are boring because they are not going for layups.

very unclassy, tbh.

[LkrFan]

How much chuck could a westbrook chuck?

:lol

[Nathan89]

I don't know why westbrook would ever chuck up a three. If you want that to happen give it to durant.

[LnGrrrR]

If I were Durant I'd clothesline Westbrook :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wow the thunder suck balls. Total lock down, they should be ashamed

[NRHector]

damn so many coaches in that Lakers team

[resistanze]

TOSB Kobe :lol
