    I big part of the Thunders game is penetrating. At the start of the game, the refs didnt blow anything. Its been hard for the Thunder to adjust.

    That is why looking at the box score is misleading. Not surprising coming from you.

    Thunder have been aggressive early going to the paint getting all sorts of contact to no benefit. If this game was called fairly the thunder should have at least 16 FTA and not 8.

    Totally changes the game right there could be around a 10 pt game if they hit some of those FTs.

    Thunder can't hit a shot to save their lives and playing very undiscplined defense. This game is LAs just wish the refs called it legit so it would be a bit more interesting.

    the refs are biased, this is the truth they always favor the better or more popular team in a tight, important, decisive playoff game; hence the mighty lakers will usually get the calls over the inexperienced heavily underdogged thunder team

    Not surprising you like to take shots at me.

    The Lakers weren't getting calls in game 4 either... it happens. I just hate resorting to the refs for fouls when the team is clearly getting outplayed.

    Not hating on the Lakers, just the morally bankrupt officials and the corporate gangster David Stern who allows this. The officials greatly contributed to the early Thunder point deficit by not calling fouls on numerous drives to the rim which should have resulted in free throws for the Thunder.

    Sefolosha is playing terribly.

    Taking bad shots, offensively, and committing dumb fouls.

    Should have just let Kobe have that one there.

    Good experience for the Thunder going into halftime, IMO. This is the Lakers playing ball at their finest giving OKC their best shot.

    If OKC comes back to win this game, LAL will lose the series.

    Poor Westbrook.
    They need a Big man badly to clog the paint.

    LOL!!! the lakers are up by 21 points you are saying it as if the thunder are down by only 10-11 points; the lakers have them in a strangglehold, better yet, the question should be whether or not the thunder get blownout by 30 or more points like the rockets did to lakers in game remember by 40 points!!!!

    After the Thunder lose the series (If) a 7'6 guy goes into the showers and tells Durant he's coming to help.

    I hope Thunder come back in some form, getting it to single digit. I hope so even more, because it is going to be really s#itty when both Jazz and Lakers are in the 2nd round.

    Could be worse. Just imagine if it was Mark Jackson and Doug Collins!
