Closer I'm taking Durant with game on the line right now
Now that's funny. This series would be over already if not for all the gifts given to the Lakers.
It took a heroic shot by Durant to overcome the Lakers and their refs.
Kobe has played himself out of the top 15
Watching the press conference right now..
They asked Durant about his missed FTs and he flat out said he was anxious because they were down all game long and got a little too excited.
Honest to the bones. At least he doesn't try to hide it like everyone else by giving the same old tired response. Props to him.![]()
Bynum: Closeout games are kind of easy.
Durant: Closeout games are tough. Really, really tough.

Pau gave away the ball to Oklahoma City when...
a) He could have shot the ball because he was wide open
b) He could have thrown a lob Bynum's way
Good game for the San Antonio Thunder fans. Congrats!
Another pathetic meltdown for the Lakers in the 4th causing them to be down 3-1 when they should be up 3-1.
Several observations.
The tide changed with a smart coaching move by Brooks that was not countered by Brown. He had Perkins start to front Bynum and the Lakers had no counter for it though the counter play is a simple one. A quick pass pass to the high post and back inside to Bynum who would have Perkins sealed and its easy baskets. It’s not in the Lakers arsenal and that’s on the coach.
With that said the Lakers go to their only option because nobody has balls on the team to step up in crunch time except Kobe and everybody in the building knows its now a Kobe centric offense. He did not produce again. Simple as that. Pathetic.
When he did trust in his teammates they simply panic and cannot get rid of the ball quick enough. Nothing exemplified this more that Pau being a pussy again and not driving to the basket or tossing it to Drew but instead puckering up (as usual) and dishing it out to the 3pt line only to be intercepted. That was the play that did them in. Pathetic.
This loss is on Kobe, Pau, and Brown!
On to Oklahoma to take game 5 and see if the boys can make a series out of it or fold. I’m keeping my game 6 tix!
Enjoy your victory haters! Goodnight…
You think Spurs fans want the ing Thunder instead? Are you nuts?
Yeah they lost a back-breaking game and fell down 1-3, he should be cheerful!
goodnight Murderball.
rofl
Where exactly are you getting the Lakers 3-1 from?
They should have been swept its what it comes down to.
Game 3 was the most rigged game there ever was. Count yourself lucky to not being swept two straight years in the second round.
Kobe just summed up the loss with: "We just didn't get the whistle tonight."
LOL. Whining about not getting the usual bailouts from the refs.
i think rather than try to analyze this until you're blue in the face, coming up with "what the lakers need to do in order to win" the best thing to do is ask whether or not they are just flat outmatched. thunder have a lot of firepower tbh. they were beatable back when westbrook was westchuck, but the little frog looking is evolving into a damn unstoppable player.
westbrook developing somewhat of a jumper and growing as a player means league = ed
they lost 2 games at the end so saying they're outmatched would be false
He needs some more fine-tuning. When Durant, Harden and Westbrook fully realize their roles, the entire league is ed. Not even Miami can stop this triple threat.
that means teams will have to make him work on the defensive end, he's been hiding on blake this series, and he can't do that right.
The Staples Center got ed today by two road teams! Hahaha.
Careful with the ridiculous posts, you are posting yourself out of the EC and 1st team all-Spurs talk ... oh wait, my bad.
All jokes aside come on DPG, don't be the prisoner of the moment ...than I believe you chided Mavs for last year. Out of the top 5? Possibly. He was borderline that with ESPN ranking him 7th. I would argue he is borderline top 10 next year. But it wont be because of how he played. He played well he just is losing even MORE shine on his closer status.
But nice troll-attempt. you are too good a poster to buy all the you shovel.
For the record I have been on the Westrbrook bandwagon, yall mother ers just slow to recognize.
