I agree about Green but Krstic is a solid center. He can play good defense, has a solid jumper, and works for the rebounds.
OKC is absolutely a better team than last year's Rockets without Yao/TMac, but what makes this series so similar is that OKC is winning on hustle and grit. It's the offensive rebounds, hustle plays and effort. The Rockets got so far on those types of qualities and you're seeing it again. That's why I thought the Lakers would lose at least 2 games. After last year's series, I have zero faith in them dominating teams like Houston and OKC. They cant touch the heart and effort of teams like that.
I despise Kobe. According to his body language, and post-foul tantrums, he never commits a foul. Yet, he invariably wants a fouled called on the defender defending him if he misses a shot. What a bratty, girly mentality.
Yes, but in the 2nd half, if both Green and Krstic continue to drag the Thunder down, they shouldn't see any time in the 4th quarter. The Lakers just aren't a good matchup for either player.
