Lakers - Thunder Game

[BatManu20]

Anybody else watching this game? I know it's early, but LA is doing a pretty good job of defending OKC so far. They're sending another player to help over anytime Westbrook attacks. Think Spurs will do that or just defend him straight up with Parker? He's their catalyst so I think if we make Durant their primary scorer we have a better shot at taking it. Hoping the Lakers win tonight and then lose net game or game 7. Go Spurs.:flag:

[T Park]

I'd say Danny Green will guard Westbrook, Westbrook could muscle past Parker a bit, plus Parker could be hidden on Sefalosha so that he could attack more on the offensive end.
That plus Parker would be able to play almost a free safety like Manu and roam and double at certain points.

[spursparker9]

Look like David Stern is not helping the Lakers

[T Park]

OKC's bench bigs are about even keel with the Clippers. Nothing special, BUT, Mohammed isn't as good a defender as Evans or Martin so Tiago should take advantage.

[DesignatedT]

Kobe is ballin tonight.

[DesignatedT]

How Perkins defends Duncan is going to be huge for OKC next series.

[BatManu20]

At the very least the Lakers are giving the Spurs some good game tape to scheme the Thunder cause Lakers have dine a pretty good job on them overall. OKC is still going to win this game though. Neither Westbrook or Durant have gone off yet

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Artest being a fucktard as usual. Hate that guy.

Very even game so far, should be a great finish.

[T Park]

Artest got screwed on that flagrant, but he has no one to blame but himself.

[DesignatedT]

Yeah that wasn't a flagrant.

[T Park]

Good lord just back off Perkins and Ibaka and dare them to shoot outside.

The gameplan is being shown by the Lakers, they're just so stupid...

[T Park]

How Perkins defends Duncan is going to be huge for OKC next series.

Agreed, however, He's not doing a great job vs Gasol, hes getting anything he wants.


Diaw is gonna be HUGE, he's gonna theoretically be able to draw Ibaka out of the paint allowing penetration, or if they want Ibaka on Duncan, Duncan should have him in foul trouble by just simply upfaking him every time down the floor...

[Ninja]

I disagree that it wasn't a flagrant. Initially, it was a good hard foul. The first arm got a piece of the ball. But then Artest extended the off arm and threw Sefalosha down unnecessarily. Definitely worthy of a flagrant 1, imo.

[T Park]

Artest didn't extend. It was all body contact with him slapping down on the ball.

Terrible call, and also a terrible technical on Kobe Bryant. He wasn't animated or anything was just talking with the ref...

[T Park]

That being a bad foul call and all, but the only one Artest has to blame is himself.

He's earned the reputation as a thug making thug plays and thats the repercussion of it.

[BatManu20]

Gotta admit even though I hate the Lakers, that flagrant foul call on MWP was a joke. Not even close to a flagrant. That was all reputation. The 90's NBA players are watching this game and laughing at that call

[T Park]

Barkley is exactly right, NBA officiating is a joke...

[spursparker9]

That left arm by Artest was to keep himself in balance actually. If not, his body would have knock into Sefalosha

[dunkman]

Indiana Ron strikes again . . .

bynum is garbage

[DesignatedT]

lol westbrook

[spursparker9]

lol @ kobe's pissed face

[DatBoyGood]

Lakerground must be on meltdown mode

[TDMVPDPOY]

the problem isnt perkins or ibaka, i think duncan is going to destroy them into foul trouble

its nick colison im concerned about, that guy is a better man2man defender against duncan after the 4 RS games against them ive watch

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol kobe jawing at gasol, htf do you blame others whose nott he one chuckn

[BatManu20]

Westbrook is going off. When he's hitting his mid range jumpers he's almost impossible to guard, esp coming off those screens

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Well the thunder hit these jump shots so easily against us too? They area knocking them down like no other

[TDMVPDPOY]

lakers to win this game, they must force westbrick to continue ballhogging into bad shot selections...

now if you going to lose, at least take out one of their players

[davidbowie]

okc is fuckin good yo

[DatBoyGood]

game 3 in okc is going to be one hell of a game

[BatManu20]

Spurs better protect home court against OKC cause it is tough to win at their place. Games 1 and 2 are going to be crucial

[Keepin' it real]

Well the thunder hit these jump shots so easily against us too? They area knocking them down like no other

Yes. Every game will be a track meet. They will hit theirs ... we gotta hit ours (even Matty B).

[DesignatedT]

We have the luxury of having an inside presence offensively. We will be able to pretty much control what tempo we play at.

Blake nor Sessions had a prayer of guarding him.
