LAL @ OKC

That flagrant on Artest was straight bullsh*t.

Reggie Miller is going off on the Refs regarding the Artest flag. foul. MWP got the ball with his right arm but threw Sefolosha down with his left… which was obscured in the angles they kept showing over and over.

thundert might take this 4-1, but these are two close teams and good games since game 1.

That flagrant was bull shit. However, I’m going to side with the refs in terms of the technicals. Usually Kobe gets away with harassing refs and artest cussing at the ref to his face isn’t exactly asking for a pass. Lakers better come back relaxed and ready to play the second half. If they get any more emotional its going to turn into Dallas all over again like last year.

I think if Lakers take this game going back to LA things can get really interesting.  That back to back hurt them because Bynum was out in the 4th and didnt do anything.  Gasol was his usually soft self.

 should be up 10-15 points, they are not attacking the rim on opportunities, they’re shots are not falling

I didn’t like the block they called on Kobe when harden was driving and Kobe was sliding slightly but was there and took it square in the chest

Pau bringing it, win or lose he and the lakers aren’t folding like last year vs Dallas in the elimination game

Did you SEE THAT WESTBROOK SHOT?! Wow.

Waiting for Bynum to elbow Westbrook in the chest in midair like he did with Barea last year…XD

 If this comes back to haunt me so be it. llperez I believe I’m about to win our bet.

Damn, oh well. Be back in the mix next year

What was our bet?

Whether the Lakers would make the WCF or not.

/// Should never have hired Mike Brown in the first place….I’d fire him for sure, he’s already proven he can’t get it done. I’d also try to move Gasol.

Honestly don’t remember , but sounds like yeah u were correct. In my defense, I’ve said at every point this season, before it started, the half way point before the. Playoffs and before this series that the thunder were the best team in the west and would get to the finals. Maybe the spurs prove me wrong.

Trade gasol if there is a good offer. Look for a new pg. Bring brown back if Kobe wants him there. Play better next playoffs and finish games.

Kobe showing he’s still. An elite player u can win around.

Until this series, the thing the Laker were best at was the end of games grind out tiems where it turns into a half court grind, and I thought they’d win every game in that scenario, but OKC was able to expose their weakness, which is terrible help defense on the perimeter, I mean there are a lot of teams with sub par defensive point guards, but the help for the Lakers and the Pick and Roll defense is atrocious.

If your Andrew Bynum you cannot be the big man of this team and get just 4 rebounds, and 0 offensive. I know Gasol has 16 but you can’t have 4 rebounds in 35 mintues being the biggest and strongest guy on the floor. 

mike brown so far hasnt looked like the right guy for this team….

gasol looks like hes gone in the summer time…. but that bench needs serious improvement….. the more pressure put on kobe to will his team the more this team is in trouble…. anybody remember the lakers b4 gasol… ??

Kobe Bryant – 33 shots and 0 assists !!
