    Some of the early game posts in this thread looking silly.

    Great boring win!

    Lakers guards aren't like OKC guards. Granted they got Lebron which is equivalent to playing against a superstar with 3 corrupt refs.

    We whooped them in every stat category. Rebounds are even.

    Big foul differential once agin
    20 to 11 fouls
    6 fewer free throws

    I don't mind having Gordon driving to the hoop every time rather than shooting 3s. They don't really have anyone capable of stopping him

    Refs played a big part and we didn't do everything right on our end either but your right.

    The lakers dont have anyone like dort, so they will most likely have to double james, which means WB 4 on 3

    It's not going to go better for them, this is going to be Russ' worst game. We rested him perfectly, he should be in the swing of things by next game. Was super rusty tonight.

    Great game from James. Players finally stepped up and hit shots and took layups. Focusing on D goes a long ways. Dennis getting ejected was huge. We really have no answer for him.

    1 more win
