7 games tbh. OkC wins
TBH the only reason the Spurs fans are saying OKC in 7 is because they want OKC to be beat up when they reach the WCF, and by that time they will be easy pickings.
No, it will be a relatively shorter series than that -- whether OKC faces LA or Denver.
We will beat Denver, but no way we are winning either of the first two games vs. OKC. They will be booing artest mercilessly and they will call cheap fouls on him too. Harden is a beast but I think Kobe will hold him down (relative) ... but we have no answer for Westbrook, if he does ... In other words ... we ed.
Losing to OKC doesn't make you non-contenders. I think it goes 6 or 7, and if Kobe plays the right way, LA wins. If he plays like he normally does, OKC in 6.
I agree with your assessment...Sometimes people get enamored with what looks like a sure thing. Dallas and LA are two different animals. Dirk could be telegraphed Kobe can't. One thing being completely over looked his defense...Kobe and Dirk are two different players defensively. Dirk doesn't have to worry about shutting down Perkins or Ibaka whereas Kobe has proven he can shut down Westbrook, and in fact if you go back to the Artest Elbow game... Kobe layed the blueprint for Mike Brown to follow by shutting Westbrook down...I mean playing him one and one on the defensive side of the ball..Westbrook wasn't ready for that and it showed...
Jason Terry never made Westbrook work...never really took him to the low block and slowed the game down. Dallas fell right into a trap by trying to run with OKC... and continuing to play with the jump shooting mentality to winning an le finally caught up to them.
Key: Dallas also had no interior defense.
OKC has no answer for Bynum and if he's agressive Perkins will take a seat fast.
Durant will their X-Factor...this is how it will happen..Kobe is very smart don't expect him to try to match Durant offensively even though he could..He's gonna burn his energy shutting Westbrook down while avg around 20ppg that should be enough to get Bynum and Gasol the levrage they need to work OKC's bigs down low...
Key: Fisher isn't running the break for us.
I say LA in 6 or 7. Artest will make difference defensively in at least 2 games.
We're going to shock a lot of experts. OKC is good but they have a tendency to fold under pressure especially Durant. I'm not sold on them yet.
Which LG poster did you steal that from?
Also, where's the $2400, b?

1.) Why don't you go to LG waste some time searching and report back to me
2.) Kori never got back to me to confirm her account info for me to send the money so I pulled the bet off the table...Kori wants to act all stuck up so ohh well.
Not sure why so many Lakers fans are writing LA off. They have their fair share of things to exploit in this series. Kobe switching onto Westbrook + Gasol and Bynum protecting the rim means Westbrook is gonna have to make jumpers. If Artest gets to play Durant physically like he did in 2010 Durant will also have his share of issues.
I say LA in 6
I know you won't come right out and call Deads out...with the exception of not washing his hands after he takes a Deads is a good guy he means well he just has no intestinal for ude..I've seen fans like him...those who never played the game on any level they get scared when they see the opposition or when their is a game 7 with 2 minutes left and the score tied..they are really afraid of losing...I feel the exact opposite I feel supreme confidence Kobe is going to win us the game even when it's obvious he won't...and that confidence carries into how I view the team in general...I'm not delusional but rather an eternal optimist who is so not afraid...

If you needed money, all you had to do was ask me, Robin. That way, you wouldn't have to keep doing things of sexual nature for money in order to survive. But even then, I'm not sure you would want to stop.1.) Why don't you go to LG waste some time searching and report back to me

I haven't read the whole thread only just glanced at a few...so I wouldn't know...usually when I read a thread I start at the top and look real quickly for the most egregious statements or long time posters I know are the most outlandish in their assessments... and I start from there...I rarely read every post in a thread..almost never tbh...but I wouldn't be surprised at your statement..
As long as Cully and Luva don't give up I'm fine

Deads... you can continue circling the drain by yourself if you like..it's your call - I've moved on...talk basketball or go home...stop being so enamored with Koolaid..and regurgitating old it's not healthy for youA liar, wigger, and a welsher...tough day for you
Live your life...every comment to Kool doesn't have to result in you melting down or stewing in an anger laced tirade masked with smiley-cons...For the most part I'm talking basketball and you're trying to wallow in the mud like the dirty little pig you are...

Bruce you only have 150 something posts...you're too cute...
MWP is more than likely going to be handled close to the vest by the officials. Furthermore, you can no longer count on Pau Gasol to be a huge factor. He can be, but it's not a certainty like it was from 2008-10. Like i told HH and DPG a month ago, the biggest wildcards in these playoffs are Bosh and Gasol.Not sure why so many Lakers fans are writing LA off. They have their fair share of things to exploit in this series. Kobe switching onto Westbrook + Gasol and Bynum protecting the rim means Westbrook is gonna have to make jumpers. If Artest gets to play Durant physically like he did in 2010 Durant will also have his share of issues.

You ain't playing OKC.
How many threads have you started lately? 16 posts per day and not one thread.Bruce you only have 150 something posts...you're too cute...
Shut up, got.
Anybody who's watched both teams the last couple of years and the times they've played knows that LA would be lucky to stretch the series to 6 games.
I think OKC takes em out in 5 with Metta & Bynum both being ejected in the clincher.
This is super weird, but I really hope we lose to Denver in game 4. Needing World Peace is THAT important for the next series. Seriously, is there anybody who really thinks Denver can beat LAL when it matters without HCA?
That's what I don't understand, didn't watch the regular season OKC LAL games but Bynum should absolutely abuse Perkins and Gasol can get Ibaka out of the paint with his rainbow shot to open things ups for everyone else.
Sessions can't defend Westbrick but if you have to let one of their big 3 get his it's him.
Kobe should be able to slow down Harden and Metta has been playing out of his mind lately so he should do ok on Durant.
