Lakers in 5.
Solid win for the young team.
I penciled this one in as a loss, so I was a bit surprised to see LAL had a chance to win at the end. Good first half, poor second half. Kobe had a piss-poor 4th, Odom was non-existent, and the team continues to go away from their post game in favor of chucking 3's. Not a winning combination.
I wouldn't be surprised if this series goes the full 7 games. The Thunder are that kind of a team on their home floor and quite frankly they are one of the worst possible matchups for the Lakers in the Western Conference.
Well at least some Lakers fans know how to show up after a loss, where is lakaluva?
Worst possible matchup? Everyone and their second cousin, from sportwriters to even the most casual of fan, was saying this is the best possible matchup for the Lakers. The Thunder have absolutely no answer for Gasol and Bynum, yet the most overrated player in league history feels it necessary to take 11 3's and 29 total shots.
Lakers aren't playing a smart game against this team and are damn lucky they're not down 2-1.
^Countin' his 15 NBA World Championships.
STFU and handle in order: The Mavs & The Suns.
Savvy?
Your guys better get their heads out of their asses and start force feeding the post or this could turn out to be a very long series. The Fakeshow has one of the top 3 front lines in basketball while the Thunder have a bunch of scrubs (aside from Durant) and Kobe still takes 29 shots?
Laker fans just can't bring themselves to criticize the "Mamba."
OKC doesnt deserve the soft label. they play good defense.
Poppy . We criticize Bryant all the time.
They're not soft, but they have no front line. Every team that has a good post player has had success against the Thunder this year (Spurs, Lakers).
It is just incomprehensible. Kobe is mostly shooting jump shots too. What is the point when his finger is hurt and he has been shooting in the 30% range for the last few weeks?
Sure, Kobe should still have the ball in his hands, and should drive in the closing of close games to get to the ft line, but his taking more shots that the other 3 highest scoring players on his team, when shooting such a bad percentage, is crazy. Phil must be freaking out. I don't get why he didn't do something about it earlier.
i seriously do not know what it is about game 3's in the first round for the lakers. they cant win them. last time they won it was against the iverson led thuggets
1 - The hurt finger is a fable. Dozens of guys with similar or worse injuries in the playoffs.
2 - He can't create better shots.
...and yet that vaunted front line got outrebounded 53 - 39 by those scrubs with no answer for them.![]()
Great win. OKC Lakers in 5 still like others aid i thought we would lose by 10+ but win a close game 4 and 5 ...
If we lose game 4 then i will be worrried ...
LOL. Yeah those front line scrubs from OKC are terrible the way they dominated the Lakers bigs on the glass.
Worried about what? The Lakers will not lose to OKC on their home floor and will likely win one on the road. Lakers in 5 or 6.
Do you understand the concept of shot attempts?
Shouldn't be too hard, but since you're a Kobe-slurper, you might not fully understand it. God knows he doesn't.
Edit: Oops, misread it as outscored.
Anyhow, Gasol and Bynum outboarded Green and Kristic to the tune of 22 to 8.
Try again.
Durant can't defend Gasol and Bynum.
i wasn't aware they had a soft label, unless if you're talking about the frontcourt.
moses finally shows up![]()
Lakers in 6, but good on ya, OKC, for makin' 'em work for it.
Didnt see the game, i was working, can someone please give me a quick review of the game?
o , the lakers only shot 14 ft?, i hate when the lakers shoot jumpshots
genuine admission.The Lakers can't win a game without refs subsidy. I used to think you were a treacherous sod who gives no care about integrity, now it seems I was wrong. Are you Mexican?
why would it matter if im Mexican?
