When the Lakers play like this they are unbeatable. But the Thunder have to shake off the jitters. Just play like they are at home which is easy to say for me. haha
Height is, and will still be, a problem the Thunder have to address. Although you really can't do much against two 7 footers.
That was pretty bad. If OKC can get a few stops and cut it to 10 points or less by halftime, they can make a game of it. The Lakers probably won't play this well the entire game. If the Thunder can go on a run and chop the lead down, the energy level of the Lakers will decline. But as long as OKC plays rattled, the Lakers will smell blood and keep the frenzied pressure on. Just as a learning experience, the Thunder need to steady the ship and make this a competitive game. If they get blown out, it will be a waste.
Refs plan: Swallow whistle and allow Lakers to get lead. Once Lakers have a comfortable lead, then start evening out the foul called disparity.
the lakers are blowing out the thunder real BAD!! its 18 point lead now, that is exatcly what i expected the lakers to do come home blowout thunder and give the little confidence to try and win this series, heck win a another game
I don't mind these posts, as for / against opinions should always be heard, but could you proofread your posts? There IS a thing called grammar, punctuation, etc. Off that point, I have no idea how OKC will address the Bynum / Gasol situation at halftime.
FT disparity is the same. 8 fta for OKC, 7 for LAL. 8 personal fouls called on the Lakers vs. 7 on OKC. What is the big deal here? The Lakers are simply out playing the Thunder.
stop hating on THE LAKERS!!! the lakers are just clearly the better team out there right now, they are hitting shots, hustling, and playing good defense, lakers are focused and are sending a MESSAGE to the young, nervous, inexperienced thunder
