While Harden got mugged just now
Blake is killing the Lakers and Harden is killing OKC
While Harden got mugged just now
He plays scared out there. He has been a total bust so far tbh
Lol, LLLakers have no frontcourt depth and Gasol is either hurt or has aged tremendously after the first month of the season.
LA is old as . LOLOLOLOLOL
Bynum is a good interior defender, but their perimeter defenders are atrocious..Artest is still a good defender, but looks like he has lost a step(to be fair, he looked like this last season too, then he stepped up his D during the 2nd half of the year, IIRC)..Kobe is an average 1 on 1 defender now..Fisher/Blake are 2 of the worst defenders in the NBA..Shannon Brown is a waste of athleticism on the defensive end..
So Bynum is often put in foul trouble due to the incompetence of his perimeter defenders..when he is in the game, he obviously makes a difference on the defensive end..
I'll say this..if Gasol isn't coasting and the mileage of the last 3-4 years has gotten to him(also his rumored hamstring injury or whatever), then LA will be eliminated in the 2nd round, he's way too valuable..
OKC flying from all corners now
BTW, Odom has been carrying this Laker team for a while
Lakers are as dull as to watch nowadays. They play slow, boring, plodding. It's effective, but then again, this Thunder team is so much younger, promising, freewheeling...
Odom ballin'. Rest of the Lakers...not so much.
Fisher can't make a wide open 3, but makes an and-1 after a bump and nearly behind the backboard..
Kobe has shown remarkable restraint on offense. Very uncharacteristic and very impressive. He's unselfish enough (for this game) to allow his teammates to establish themselves before he hogs all of the offense. I'm too used to seeing him chuck balls left and right right from the get go.
lol phantom foul for Durant
Bynum is just trying to defend guys coming at him at 100 mph. It's tough
blowout time
Good to see old man Kobe can still throw down from time to time.
Some atrocious D from both teams in this game, particularly the help D..
Westbrook schooling the Lakers as usual
smart game so far for Kobe and the lakers.
but are we supposed to believe that Kobe is still an above average defender?
Kobe had his Ensure before the game tonight. Don't know how he dunked it like that.
bigs need to show harder on those westbrook screens.
You have to wonder how long Phil is gonna put up with Blake non-production. If he's just gonna bring the ball up, Shannon Brown can do that.
Nothing is wrong with his knee. Kobe was just trolling
Refs just taking Baby Drew out of the game like they're supposed to. Trying to keep it compe ive, I guess.
