    That was a beautifully run play for Perkins.

    Pau also raked Durant from the other side. That's not including the aggressive ball denial from MWP on Durant when Harden couldn't be within 3 feet of Kobe.

    Uh... why do you come in here after the game is over to challenge my statement? He made a lot of bad decisions before that. He obviously did a good job closing out. Doesn't mean he was flawless all game.

    The thread transcript was a bit slow.... obviously Kobe is not prime Kobe but he is still one of their best players

    Did you see him snap his head back and fall to the ground as if he just got sniped? That alone awards him with a flagrant 2 in today's NBA.

    What we learned from this night is this: Kobe is a darn good FT shooter. The ability to make FTs down the stretch in the 4th quarter is an underrated skill in this league.

    They call a foul on Harden for touching kobe. No call for Durant after getting hammer by World Peace.

    Good win for the Lakers. The refs are the story though. Tomorrow should be good.

    Didn't watch it live, but from the quick glimpse I saw, it looked like a broken play to me.












    What the hell was Ibaka doing?

    He's had 15 years to fix the officiating and has willfully ignored it. The officiating in this league is an inexcusable stain. No other sport is so obviously affected by refs on a frequent basis.

    A sad night for the basketball-loving world. I predict the Thunder will take the next two, though.

    We learned the league is fixed without a doubt in my mind now. Every single run was from the refs and the line. The entire night. They could not hold OKCs jock the entire night.

    By hammer you mean clean strip and great play by World Peace?

    Harden drew two complete BS fouls on the Lakers early in the 4th quarter.
