    Man the Lakers have been impressive.

    It's weird. This is the first time I'm not actively rooting against the Lakers.

    if kobe has his best game of the playoffs while artest is draining all his 3's, the lakers are definitely going to be damn tough to beat. obviously 32 free throws has helped, but kobe's had 2 really good games in a row. even doing things besides scoring.

    Imagine this. If Kobe hadn't messed up Game 2, the Lakers would be staring 3-1 in the face right now.

    No. Those who want the Thunder to win are Rockets fans who hate the Lakers.

    Agreed. If Artest is hitting threes, the Lakers are the best team in the NBA, imo. Problem is I have a hard time seeing that happen for at least four games out of seven.

    Speaking of trolling - tnt stream's "action camera" is only following Kobe - entire time he was on the bench it was on him.

    Blake sold the technical.

    I'd be surprised if one free throw decides this game. That said, that's an absolute joke of a technical foul to call in the fourth quarter of a playoff game. Officiating is so soft these days.

    How much do you think the Lakers are going to pay to keep Hill?

    If anything, Blake deserved the technical for flopping.

    I'd rather they follow the ball, like they do every other game?

    Superstars get ratings, not team ball.

    Yeah, the best team to watch is the Spurs and they don't get ratings even though they have the best offense.
