Because the Thunder are younger, deeper and hungrier. Not to mention they match up very well with the Lakers.
1. The speed of the Thunder.
2. Kobe wanted to send Phil a message.
3. Stern wanted to send Phil a message.
4. The Lakers refused to adjust to the officials.
5. The Thunder have stolen the Mavs mojo and now expect to shoot 50 free throws in every game.

idk, iwasnt watching the game, i was working
They do? Kristic and Collison vs Pau and Bynum? Laker should be winning these games but there is no chemistry, everyones out for themselves and doesn't like anyone on their team. Also Phil pissed off the wrong guy.
They played good defense, got to the line a million times, and the Lakers jacked up threes like Tomjanovich was still coaching them.
I'm guessing LA just expected them to roll over and die after dominating them the first two games. Wait, those games were close right? I think LA is just slackin' and will bring the kitchen sink out the next game.
coz they thought it would be a cakewalk, that all they have to do is show up. there is no ing switch to turn.
So yer saying everything was hunky & dory and then some wisenheimer with a ROC license moved the ing switch?
you're a laker fan, you tell me. don't you get the feeling they're playing like it's still the regular season?

Mistakes have been made on many levels:
*Bryant not taking the time necessary to heal that finger.
*Not addressing the need for quality after the first six. They've known this since last season. Once it was again confirmed early this season moves should have been made. Farmar, Brown, Walton, Vuj, Powell can't impact a game. You have to make open shots. The above are incapable. Each has been given more than ample time to fail, and each abided.
*Now Bryant has painted himself into a corner and he's disgusted: nobody will pick it up for him now that's he's physically compromised. Odom & Artest can't make open shots and Bynum & Gasol are afraid to fail at even the smallest tasks: (solving the fronting)...(not getting 3 second calls)...(never getting close enough to shoot). Kobe feels like he's in the Smush Zone again. He see's the Thunder make open shots/fts. He has every right to demand impact from these guys. Again though he must bear full responsibility for not taking the time to heal that finger be it 4 weeks or 8 weeks.
let me add one more... point guard upgrade. fisher will bend over and spread his ass cheeks wide open for every quick, aggressive point guard out there.
but point number 1 should have been done.
coming from you, this means absolute nothing.I bet your dad thinks the same about your mother.
The Lakers have one of the best, if not THE best, starting five in the NBA, but their bench sucks. If they do manage to get by the Thunder, I'll be surprised if they can get past the WCSF the way they're playing. If OKC wins game 5 in LA, that series is OVER.

Not as void as the Lakers' bench, asshole.Why don't you pay attention, asshole. We have Utah or Denver next. Your entire post is void.
Still y after getting raped by the thunder, calling them scrubs.
What does that make the lakers??
its simple..lakers were out hustled in EVERY aspect of the game.
Just like your parents had trouble getting up to parent a stupid coon like you so they put you in a foster home.
How bout me, Will?
tee, hee.
Lakers played like idiots. Kobe tried to force feed the ball for the bigs in the paint and obviously Bryant wasn't looking to score at all in the first quarter even if he had a good look. Thats about as re ed and as y as it gets. Dumbasses.
so it there a shot minimum and maximum that should be set for Kobe?
Nope, just don't be a dumbass and pass up looks. There is no shot minimum and maximum in a game with a flow like basketball and if you're Kobe.
Of course you should try and utilize their frontcourt advantage and I understand what they were trying to do except its simply a bad strategy to have your franchise scorer not shoot at all or even look for a shot in the first.
Too y and dumb of a plan.
I usually lurk here and don't post much, but at this point, who takes lakaluva's posts and threads seriously anymore? I'm surprised by the fact that someone hates lakaluva so much that they would create a fake twitter account just to talk haha... unless that really is him.
It was quite the contribution, eh? Just sterling.
they suck
Though it is nice to see you in the Loser Corral with the other 13, Sookie.
tee, hee.
