Amateur: Lakers @ OKC game thread, brought to you by the ghost of Phil Jackson

[irishock]

That's a ty call.

[ElNono]

Durantula with the league protection trumps Kobe's protection goods

[Mugen]

getting hard to muster up energy to celebrate these Laker losses tbh.

[irishock]

Durant gets a load of calls

[racm]

Brain-dead OKC could find a way to lose this. How did the Spurs lose to these turkeys?

Harden, tbh

[irishock]

Those 2 bad calls on Kobe were huge.

[ElNono]

Duhon makin em when they don't matter

the good thing with this is Mike D will come out saying "we're really close, srsly"

[Mugen]

at least the lakers improved their road record % with this 3game trip

[midnightpulp]

Meh. This game was never in doubt. OKC pretty much dominated from start to finish, and probably could've beaten the Lakers by 25+ if they didn't check out and start playing garbage time early after they went up 19.

[midnightpulp]

Lakers still trying.

[ElNono]

Pringles coaching furiously in the last 30 secs.... "pass it to Kobe and gtfo"

Harden, tbh

Thanks to Presti for sending Harden where he can do no harm.

[Splits]

tosb Kirby played 43 minutes. he's going to be fresh if they sneak into the playoffs.

Should've sat the starters when OKC went up 19 with 7:00 remaining. No ing way are they blowing a lead like that at home against a fringe playoff team. But that's not going to happen with Kobe Bryant on the team. These late garbage time "comebacks" in which the Lakers cut it to like 8 with 1:00 min to go is where Kirby does much of his PPG damage, since everyone has pretty much given up but him.

Chalk up another moral victory for the Lakers. They're getting closer.

yeah, getting closer to the illustrious .500 Thread on here. They'll make it one day...maybe.

If somehow the Lakers don't make the playoffs, stern will gift them the first pick in the draft as a going a way gift.

Basically the Thunder stars were better than the Lakers stars...and that was it.

[Banzai]

Didn't watch the game. Not surprised tbh.

To be expected. Durant's been better than Kirby for awhile now.

tbh, if the Lakeshow are 10-15 games from missing the playoffs, I expect some 'rare injury' sitting Kobe down...

it's not tanking, he was really hurt

never missed the playoffs when healthy

Where are the Laker fans? I always show up on game threads regardless of outcome to give my take.
