    Can't wait until Monday. Only way Lakers win is injuries hit OKC.

    Thunder in 5.

    I would say Thunder in 6, but this series with the Nuggets has run the Lakers ragged. No chance they survive a well-rested OKC team.

    The crowd is going to kill Artest on Monday. With boos, of course.

    Lakers height and length would pose some problems....
    but solid match-up to get better for OKC
    The thing about the Lakers is they never seem to look a real team, just a bunch of highly individual talents
    They lack some glue guys like Ariza, Odom....whoops

    Ibaka and Perkins should definitely be able to contain the two 7 footers

    And Westbrook, Harden, and of course Durant are just gonna be to much for the Fakers.

    I got OKC in 6

    Artest has really helped the Lakers.

    Perkins being out/hindered will hurt the Thunder.

    Thunder in 6/7

    Sessions needs to step up his game, dude stunk against Denver. You see how Lawson went off, Westbrook will make mincemeat out of him..

    OKC is like the Nuggets on steroids.

    Lawson -> Westbrook.
    Gallo -> Durant
    Faried -> Ibaka

    If the Lakers needed 7 games to beat a weaker Nuggets team, Thunder shouldn't have a problem.

    Remember the last game of the season where the Lakers finally beat OKC. Durant AND WB shot season-lows without Harden and it took a miraculous Kobe + OT to win AT HOME.

    So, Thunder in 5, losing game 3 at Staples.
