Thunder vs Lakers presented by over .500

[Venti Quattro]

Let's go Lakers! Forward to over .500!!! :lobt:

[Bill_Brasky]

Aw damn I thought this was tonight.

[noob cake]

Thunderefs will be denying the club membership.

[baseline bum]

Thunderefs will be denying the club membership.

LA faggots will get in the club after playing New Orleans and Toronto

[noob cake]

LA faggots will get in the club after playing New Orleans and Toronto

Comrade,

Be comforted by the fact that the Rockets will deny them of the more important playoff club.

Besides, joining the 0.500+ club 63 games in is like winning the D-League championship.

[Robz4000]

LA faggots will get in the club after playing New Orleans and Toronto

New Orleans will knock them down another game as well. They'll be in the .500 club by week's end tho.

[whitemamba]

we comin niggas

[midnightpulp]

I think a better title would be:

"Presented by potential NBA record set for most total FTs in a game."

Hack-a-Dwight in combination with all the ticky-tack bullshit Kirby, Durant, and Westbrook get, this game will be probably end at 1AM.

[hater]

yes this game will probably go around 200+ minutes in length.

IMO this will be competitive

[Banzai]

Was good while it lasted lol

[ElNono]

IMO, OKC + refs are going to go for blood after the last defeat... wouldn't surprise me at all if they end up winning by 30+

[Mugen]

Lakers with a chance for the biggest moral victory of the season tbh.

[thunderup]

Can't wait for the little payback. It was sickening the last time when we lost. The Lakers celebrated like if they had gotten to the finals. I hope we blow them out by 40.

Really???

[td4mvp2k]

Really???

:vomit:

[td4mvp2k]

Kobe Bryant saw Serge Ibaka's below-the-belt hit Sunday on Blake Griffin and thought that some retaliation was in order.

"I probably would have smacked in the mouth," Bryant said after the Los Angeles Lakers practiced Monday. "I would have dealt with the pain after."

How will Dwight Howard plan to face Ibaka?

"I mean, you got to wear a cup," Howard joked.

[I] http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9016638/kobe-bryant-says-smacked-serge-ibaka-retaliation-groin-punch-blake-griffin

[Jacob1983]

The game will probably start at 8:45pm or 8:50pm and be over by 11:25pm or 11:30pm but I'm sure there will be a lot of free throw attempts in the game. You've got Doo Doo Jump, Bodie, The Rapist, and emo Howard as starters so you can expect a lot of free throws. Damn, I guess this game could be a long one since free throws stop the clock and slow down the game.

[LkrFan]

No Ibaka = Lakers > 0.500

Holy crap...all these pictures are golden. Thank you Kobe for that photoshoot. Its a little Christmas present everytime I see it

[Venti Quattro]

Let's go .500!!! :hungry:

[Mugen]

No Ibaka = Lakers > 0.500

Ibaka's playin', kemosabe.

[hater]

Lakers got this one.

Put fear in those OKC faggots

[whitemamba]

Ibaka's playin', kemosabe.

how the fuck is that possible?

[Mugen]

how the fuck is that possible?

Thunderefs tbh.

[whitemamba]

Thunderefs tbh.

question.. would you rather get punched in the head or nuts?

[Reck]

Too bad we're gonna have to sit through a shit game first. Boston @ Philly. :lol

[Mugen]

question.. would you rather get punched in the head or nuts?

Better question would be would you rather get elbowed by Metta in the head or slapped on the nuts by Ibaka?

[LkrFan]

Ibaka's playin', kemosabe.

Hollywood Bullshit. SMH

[spurraider21]

win/win for Spurfan tbh. either lakers sit their ass back and go below .500 yet again, or OKC dips behind us further. why can't they both lose

If i was a Texas native i'd probably want OKC to lose, but living in LA and hearing Laker talk all game makes me want them to keep suffering. go okc

[NASpurs]

Too bad we're gonna have to sit through a shit game first. Boston @ Philly. :lol

Whenever the EC play each other, I turn the channel to something else. I don't get how a whole conference can be so brutal to watch.

[Budkin]

I'm rooting for Lakers but honestly they have no chance.

[Robz4000]

Whoever loses, we win

[irishock]

Lakers are the good guys in this game

[Dex]

Lakers are the good guys in this game

If they were a couple more games back, I would agree.

At this point, they are making this push for the playoffs a little too serious.

OKC is gonna be on the Spurs' heels no matter what. But seeing the Lakers miss the playoffs would be too fucking hilarious to miss.

As a Spurs fan, the next best thing to watching the Spurs win, is watching the Lakers lose.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Lakers by 10

[Killakobe81]

Okc by 8 ...

[Captivus]

I want to see the PG matchup

[hater]

as spursfan, I don't see how you not root for the lakers.

it's almost 99% certain they make the playoffs anyway. might as well try to keep ahead of OKC and at the same time let LA put a scare on these faggots of OKC in case they faceoff in round 1.

plus who doesn't enjoy seeing ChimpBrook throw a tantrum??

[Strategic]

We can only hope that it's a more interesting game than this Eastern conference dinosaur that's on now.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol ESPN and TNT were banking on Bynum this year, Philly has been on National TV way too much, tbh..

[KaiRMD1]

I'm pulling for the lakers, can the big three beat OKC's big three (the zebras)

[Mugen]

I'll be surprised if the Lakers don't lose by 10+ tbh.

[D-Wade]

What a boring game.

And who's the guy calling the game right now with The Czar???

He's terrible.

[Thebesteva]

The Spurstalk waiting room until the game starts


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlfIoV_zBAM

[Captivus]

anybody with problems loading the game on League Pass ?

[OKC]

I'm pulling for the lakers, can the big three beat OKC's big three (the zebras)

Yeah..I think its the Lakers that have the zebras going for them seeing that they go to the line more than any other team.

[Robz4000]

Yeah..I think its the Lakers that have the zebras going for them seeing that they go to the line more than any other team.

Iblaka!

[hater]

Dwight :lmao :lmao

[capek]

as spursfan, I don't see how you not root for the lakers.


Exactly. Who gives a fuck about the Lakers this season, besides the media and Lakerfan. We got a race for HCA going, and anytime OKC plays we should root for them to lose, regardless of who they're playing.

Of course, the Lakers suck ass, so my hopes aren't high that they'll help us out tonight.

[capek]

I CANT LOAD THE GAME ON LP!!! WTF!!!

It's on TNT!!!1!111!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Mamba rubbing his elbow, working the media, tbh..

[hater]

[tlongII]

Kobe done for the year.

[Relevancy]

Kobe is faking it, who is he gonna convince? :lmao He was like, fuck this we ain't winning

[Grit and Grind]

HAHA Kobes

[capek]

Where is Lakerfan? How come they're not joining in the fun?

:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

Why is Kobe never injured when his team is winning?

[Clipper Nation]

Kirby with the terrible acting job.... and Lakerfan calls the Clippers "Flop City" :lmao

[hater]

fuck this we ain't winning

:lmao quitting after 5 minutes into the game

[Robz4000]

:cry He's playing through injuries. So valiant :cry

:cry what a hero :cry

[ElNono]

expected, tbh... once the team started to look like it was getting better, come up with some made up injury and avoid the embarrassing 1st round sweep...

[Captivus]

It's on TNT!!!1!111!!!

Space is showing the game in Argentina, i didn't know!, they usually show stupid games, like Boston.
Still, i rather watch on LP...
What happened to Kobe???

[HarlemHeat37]

I give Kobe credit for being the best of all-time at working the media, tbh..it's an art form when he's working it..

He learned well from Phil..

[irishock]

:lmao watch this guy come back in a few minutes to a standing ovation

[Robz4000]

God damn this is gonna turn into a slaughter quick

[lefty]

:lol kobe faking arm injury
:lol afraid of Ibaka

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao watch this guy come back in a few minutes to a standing ovation

They're in OKC. They would give PHilly a run for the money in terms of pathetic fanbases. Stunned they didn't cheer the injury.

[ElNono]

2006 called, wants Kobe's fake injury back...

[hater]

LOL looks like Howard quitting too

[sook]

mentally weak wow. Hope the Lakers have the lube in hand for this game...

[Venti Quattro]

309136604885295104

[KaiRMD1]

The elbow isn't gonna be an excuse, he beats OKC and suddenly it's "with a bad elbow, Kobe shows Dwight how to play hurt and carries the Lakers to victory" or he says he bricked because of the elbow, either way.....

[Reck]

:lmao watch this guy come back in a few minutes to a standing ovation

Standing ovation in Oklahoma? :lmao

[Relevancy]

I was just kidding with the "faking" part, sucks for the Lakers, they needed him for this game

[td4mvp2k]

Where is Howards cup? :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Wow. Lakers fans talking so much shit about the guy who's the #1 rebounder in the League. Fucking pathetic fanbase.

[lefty]

Lakers making a comeback without Kuitby

[Relevancy]

Nvm Kobe is back:lmao

[Clipper Nation]

Where is Howards cup? :lol
Doesn't need one, since he doesn't have any balls for Ibaka to punch :lol

[D-Wade]

He'll be back.

[td4mvp2k]

Doesn't need one, since he doesn't have any balls for Ibaka to punch :lol

:lol

[Cry Havoc]

"There is nobody in this game who has a lower tolerance for declaring injuries."

I'm sure that's what he meant to say.

[hater]

this fuck even got Jordan's pain expressions down to the dot

[Captivus]

Kobe want to win the game shooting with his left!

[Reck]

Kobe is so brave :cry

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Kuitby realizing his team's better without him and quickly dropping the act

[Robz4000]

:cry such bad luck for the Lakers :cry

[td4mvp2k]

F U Fisher!

Tnt with bs sensitive music

[capek]

Fuck you Fisher :td

[capek]

Kobe is so brave :cry

Nothing can hold him down, not injuries, not rape trials. Warrior! :cry

[sook]

omg he just made a shot with the injured elbow :(

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe pulls up from 21 feet after complaining about his precious elbow. What a fucking hero.

[ElNono]

there's the thunderefs with the bs calls

[sook]

fisher the biggest fraud and POS in the NBA making an appearance.

[Clipper Nation]

Gonna be really awkward for the refs to reconcile their dual allegiance with the Thunderefs and Lakers tonight, tbh...

[Captivus]

there's the thunderefs with the bs calls

Against Kobe himself!

[noob cake]

Against Kobe himself!

Makeup cheapie for Kobe soon

[td4mvp2k]

:lmao blake

Kobe injured elbow... brings the ball up the court.

What the fuck. Seriously? This is reaching unprecedented levels of bitchmade.

[td4mvp2k]

Wow lakers sux

[Captivus]

Westbrook never missed a game...ever???WOW!

[BatManu20]

This game was over before it started. Lakers dropping under .500 again.

Lakers are the REAL Flop City, tbh...

[sook]

yea turning this off. Lakers are going to get ass raped.

[hater]

Clark dominating

[Captivus]

that Clark guy is probably the most respectable thing the lakers trot out every night.

Like that guy's game

He would be incredible with the Spurs, big that can shoot 3 and rebound. His FT% is not that bad.

[capek]

Great shot from Dwight per par

[hater]

Howard is such a pussy

[Robz4000]

This game is funny. Hopefully RonRon unleashes another elbow.

[BatManu20]

Martin's shot is so gross. But surprisingly effective.

[capek]

God damn the Lakers are unwatchable. I want to enjoy they getting beat like a bitch but I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open :sleep

[Relevancy]

Ma Lakers:cry back to being below .500:cry

[Venti Quattro]

Well this game is over.

[capek]

Well this game is over.

Was 15:09 minutes ago tbh

[Relevancy]

The Lakers shouldn't even try to make the playoffs, they just beat teams that their suppose to beat but against the elites, naa they always show their pathetic effort.

[hater]

fucking Fisher :lol

I hate that guy

[Relevancy]

Not even joking, the Lakers should blow this team up, pathetic performance

[capek]

The Lakers shouldn't even try to make the playoffs, they just beat teams that their suppose to beat but against the elites, naa they always show their pathetic effort.

Could say that about the other LA team tbqh

[Robz4000]

I smell a moral victory coming

[Captivus]

OKC getting a little of their own medicine!

[Reck]

Kobe makes the most flukiest shots of anybody in the NBA.

And draining

[Robz4000]

Still roughly half a quarter to go and game time is over an hour...

[hater]

offensive foul :lol refs

[CitizenDwayne]

Wait, Thunder fans are bitching about officiating?!?!?!?!?!

[midnightpulp]

Coming into this one late. 23 FTA for the Lakers with 3 minutes to go in the 2nd? :lol

Stern's love for the Lakers is undying, I guess. Even his new hot and young bitch (Thunder) doesn't suck a good enough dick to get him to betray his old flame.

[Trainwreck2100]

kobe

[irishock]

:lmao why do the Thunder have so much generic players

[irishock]

If the plot goes as Sidious/Vader/Luke did, Stern will eventually open the doors for his Thunder to strike down their predecessor.

[BatManu20]

Hasheem Thabeet might be the biggest bust in the last 10 years. Oden doesn't count due to injuries.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Hasheem Thabeet might be the biggest bust in the last 10 years. Oden doesn't count due to injuries.

Darko Milicic says hi.

[irishock]

:lmao allowing 69 points at the half

[BatManu20]

70 points in the first half.. Lakers defense is swiss cheese.

[midnightpulp]

:lmao 70 point half

"They're getting it together."

[Relevancy]

am I reading this right? 71 points in the 1st half...

[Clipper Nation]

[capek]

Ok, can't watch any more of this abortion ball. Enjoy your team Lakerfan :tu

[Mugen]

Thunder can't blow it open too soon. Lakers have a game tomorrow as well.

:lol What am i talking about, it's fucking Pringles. He's gonna run em to the ground regardless of the score.

[Robz4000]

Guys, where am I supposed to mail my check to?

[baseline bum]

Is this team really supposed to make the playoffs giving up 71 points in a half? :rollin

[scanry]

How does LA have 27 free throws?

Them Dummies (Perkins & Collison) fouled the Lakers early.

[BatManu20]

Darko Milicic says hi.

No way. Thabeet's career numbers are way worse than Darko's. Milicic at least had 3 or 4 seasons where he averaged like 8 pts and 5 boards. Thabeet's career year was his rookie year when he averaged 3 and 3.. and Darko's never been sent down to the D-league like Thabeet.

[Reck]

Ok, can't watch any more of this abortion ball. Enjoy your team Lakerfan :tu

I'm having dinner and enjoying the game.

Its like being on a tropical beach, very good feeling. :lol

[Mugen]

Different story when you're not playing the Suns & Bobcats tbh.

[baseline bum]

No way. Thabeet's career numbers are way worse than Darko's. Milicic at least had 3 or 4 seasons where he averaged like 8 pts and 5 boards. Thabeet's career year was his rookie year when he averaged 3 and 3.. and Darko's never been sent down to the D-league like Thabeet.

Tskitishvili is probably the worst bust I have ever seen, though Vesely looks headed on that career trajectory also.

[Reck]

Chuck with the bads.

I knew which team he was going to say when he started saying who are the best 3 teams in the west.

Memphis, OKC and San Antonio. :lol

[LkrFan]

Good news: Lakers scored 55 points vs. OKC in their building
Bad news: Nash and Howard combined for 2-14 FGAs
Horrible news: Laker _efense gave up 71 points at the half

Back to < .5:(:( it is. SMH

[Mugen]

Chuck with the goods tbh.

[Trainwreck2100]

chuck dropping dem truthbombs

[scanry]

Chuck giving the Clippers no love whatsoever.

[Clipper Nation]

Chuck with the bads.

I knew which team he was going to say when he started saying who are the best 3 teams in the west.

Memphis, OKC and San Antonio. :lol
Chuck needs to drop his obsession with Memphis, they aren't the legitimate contenders he claims them to be.... and for all the crap he talks about the Clippers' offense, Memphis' offense is ten times worse...

[hater]

Barkley is pretty much spot on. Except he's overrating Indiana and Memphis.

[Mugen]

Chuck with the bads.

I knew which team he was going to say when he started saying who are the best 3 teams in the west.

Memphis, OKC and San Antonio. :lol

It's not that big of a stretch to say Memphis is better than the Clippers. There's only two legit teams in the West tbh.

[D-Wade]

Barkley just being the conservative that he is. Get with the times... This isn't the same Memphis team that beat San Antonio.

[Reck]

Chuck with the goods tbh.

He got two out of 3.

Memphis is not going past the first round. They blow.

[Reck]

It's not that big of a stretch to say Memphis is better than the Clippers. There's only two legit teams in the West tbh.

Agreed.

[Clipper Nation]

It's not that big of a stretch to say Memphis is better than the Clippers.

It's a massive stretch, actually, because the Clippers have the better record, have owned them head-to-head this year, and beat them in the playoffs last year.... Chuck is just a hater with shitty takes, tbh... that being said, he's right that OKC has zero chance against Miami, but then again, that's the most generic take possible...

[Trainwreck2100]

that minny mascot vid was pretty good

[KaiRMD1]

No way. Thabeet's career numbers are way worse than Darko's. Milicic at least had 3 or 4 seasons where he averaged like 8 pts and 5 boards. Thabeet's career year was his rookie year when he averaged 3 and 3.. and Darko's never been sent down to the D-league like Thabeet.

Is it bad that I actually thought Darko was gonna have some sort of break out season in 2011 with the Timberwolves?

[Mugen]

He got two out of 3.

Memphis is not going past the first round. They blow.

Denver isn't beating Memphis in the playoffs.

[midnightpulp]

Alright, I'm gonna back away from my laughter at how pathetic the Lakers are for a second, and analyze this game objectively. As bad as it seems, Lakerfan, you still have a chance to pull out an upset win. I don't like the scoring balance for the Thunder, who've been primary reliant on Durant and Westbrook in the first half. If either of them hit a cold streak, it could initiate a Laker run. Aside from Durant and Westbrook (and maybe Martin), I'm not sure who else can step up for the Thunder with some much needed baskets if the Thunder big guns go quiet. In addition to that, a big positive for the Lakers is the way they've controlled the offensive glass.

On the Lakers side, I expect Dwight, as shitty and simian as he is, to contribute more in the 2nd half, as well as Nash. Kobe will remain consistent. And of course, the parade to the free-throw line will continue, compliments of Herr David.

[DAF86]

Since when taking bad shot after bad shot is considered being a warrior?

[Mugen]

It's a massive stretch, actually, because the Clippers have the better record, have owned them head-to-head this year, and beat them in the playoffs last year.... Chuck is just a hater with shitty takes, tbh... that being said, he's right that OKC has zero chance against Miami, but then again, that's the most generic take possible...

I think Memphis has a better chance of beating OKC or the Spurs than the Clippers tbh. Wouldn't be shocked if the Clipps take down the Thunder but I still give the edge to Memphis in a poss. matchup.

Now if the Clippers play Memphis in the playoffs, I'd probably take the Clippers. I'm basing my top 3 teams in the West as who has the best chance to reach the WCF and I'd give the nod to Memphis currently.

[Reck]

Denver isn't beating Memphis in the playoffs.

It is a toss up imo but I'm giving the edge to Denver.

[Relevancy]

You know Kobe, sometimes it's not necessary to launch those 3's

[Mugen]

Clark defends KD/LeBron better than Metta nowadays.

[LkrFan]

Three problems with your theory:

1) Dwight sucks major ass offensively. I don't expect him to do much with nut puncher back there waiting to swat his shit to the 13th row. 1-7 is pathetic for "the best big man in the game"
2) Nash sucks major ass defensively and WB knows it. If he don't continue to exploit that TOSB, he's stupid
3) All you need is a potent 1-2 punch and role players to do major damage in this league. Look no further than teams like Miami and OKC as evidence. The Lakers' _efense is putrid at best. Who exactly on the Lakers are going to stop them two young Gs from getting whatever they want?

Bonus: Jim Buss is a moron for not hiring PJ and hiring MDA instead.

Mike d should pull a pop and waive the white flag and clear the bench

[Relevancy]

They let old Nash drive to the hoop like that:lmao

[Mugen]

:lol @ that dumbass NBA commercial. Kid gets to pick 3 teams to watch and he picks the Sixers, Hawks, and TWolves.

[Spursfanfromafar]

No way. Thabeet's career numbers are way worse than Darko's. Milicic at least had 3 or 4 seasons where he averaged like 8 pts and 5 boards. Thabeet's career year was his rookie year when he averaged 3 and 3.. and Darko's never been sent down to the D-league like Thabeet.

Milicic had 10 years in the league of mediocrity, poutiness and poverty of play. Can't argue against Thabeet's suckiness, but it is still a bit too early to say that Thabeet is the biggest bust in the last 10 years even if he is indeed a bust.

[Relevancy]

I already knew Kobe was going 1 vs 1

[Mugen]

Daniel Day-Bryant tbh.

[Relevancy]

That was a good find by Bryant

[Relevancy]

Lakers not securing rebounds

[thunderup]

We'd sweep the Lakers if there was ever such a matchup in the playoffs.

[D-Wade]

That's the 5th shitty jumper Porkins has put up. Sit 'em down.

[Chinook]

It looked like Nash told the ref whose ball it was. That was funny.

Somebody listens to too much Max and Marcellus. Kellerman is an idiot

[CitizenDwayne]

That's not really that bold of a claim.

[Clipper Nation]

Chokelahoma folding in the second half, per par.... but not to worry, the refs will bail them out just like they did on Sunday, tbh...

[DAF86]

Is Kobe really that much better at guarding Westbrook than Nash?

[LkrFan]

New logo for OKC:

:lol coasting son

[thunderup]

That's not really that bold of a claim.

Just thought I'd let Lakerfan know.

[Arcadian]

Come on Lakers, help us out and beat OKC. (I only root for you when you're irrelevant.)

[Mugen]

Perk should stop shooting 20ft pullups. He's not playing the Spurs.

[Reck]

Derek Fisher getting owned by another corpse out there. :lol

[hater]

is a roof over your head that much better at keeping you dry?

[Kai]

5 points? The fuck Howard?

[MultiTroll]

taking bets on over/under the Fakeshow shooting 50+ fts?

[DAF86]

is a roof over your head that much better at keeping you dry?

So you sayin' that instead of 34 pts on 14-25 shooting after 3 quarters Westbrook would have 54 pts on 100% shooting if Nash was guarding him?

[irishock]

:lmao Jackson

[noob cake]

6 pt game.

keep it close. I want to see a Lakersground meltdown + moral victory.

[D-Wade]

Wow who is this kid Jackson

[noob cake]

I dont even know Jackson's first name.

[Kai]

Lakers can't get stops

[Mugen]

:lol Metta over Serge

[Kai]

I dont even know Jackson's first name.

Mr. October

[Robz4000]

Mr. October on the wrong side of the calendar tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

Is Kobe really that much better at guarding Westbrook than Nash?

Is a condom that much better at prevented pregnancy than fucking with her on top and letting gravity do the rest

[Kai]

Meanwhile, in Sacramento...

Durant shoots too many pull-up jumpers. Why doesn't he use his massive body to drive the paint more often? That's why Lebron is better...but it seems like Durant should be able to do the same if he tries to.

[Bill_Brasky]

How are the Lakers in this?

[Splits]

Is The Chuck the most annoying player in the league? His mannerisms make me want to drive to Methlohoma and go McVeigh+BinLaden+Dahmer. And that's against the most disgusting team in the league. He really needs to get over himself.

[Trainwreck2100]

holy fuck lakers score a damn basket
