this is just an old fashioned butt whooping! la lakers not lead in this game since very early in the 1st quarter! WOW the thunder came out with energy and passion, they were ready to play!! the lakers came out sluggish and became surprised at the thunder's start to the game. they were not expecting the thunder to come strong
wow this reminded me so much of the series against us last year lakers with absolutely nothing going right, and thunder just feeding off of energy and hustle
Rudy is a soft butterfly and might be a diva. The Thunder players are mostly gritty and humble. Trout wouldn't fit either because he is one of the least intelligent players in the NBA. My description of him is "mush for brains". He's a very frustrating guy to have on your team. As a 7th/8th man, he might fit. Regarding the 2nd half, there is something wrong with the Lakers. Their obvious lack of urgency is startling. It's like they don't understand that losing this game guarantees them a trip back to OKC.
His offense has been terrible but he has done an excellent job of locking down Durant. Durant is scoring most of his points when Artest is not on him. His % are also -10 compared to regular season %. Also, he hasn't taken bad shots and is not forcing anything. He is just missing open looks.
LOL at artest!!! he is not shooting well at all in this series, if artest does not consistently hit his open 3s and perimeter shots, the lakers will be in serious trouble, because they need to spread the floor for their two bigs if they get double teamed; also kobe is aging, he is not as aggressive as he used to be, he is settling for to many jumpers, he is not penetrating to the basket nor is he trying to get his bigs involved in the game; the lakers are getting exposed here tonight with artest weak shooting and a jumper-happy kobe!!! where is bynum and gasol!!!
