Re: Playoffs Round 1: Oklahmona City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers Defense today, outside of Fisher on Westbrook, has been fucking awesome.
Re: 1st round: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers Artest with awesome D on Durant. Fuck I love it!
Re: 1st round: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers Who needs FT's when you can knock down 3's!
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) Glad about the win, still concerned with how banged up The Star is.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) Awesome game. Durant only shot 7-24 today, 29%. He was only 3-15 with Ron guarding him, Ron Ron held him to 20% shooting. What a terrific defender, big props to Ron Artest. I can only hope that he can start making his open threes... Drew and Pau were both beasts down low as well. We are now 15 wins away from repeating :]
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) Awesome game indeed, I thought all our boys couldn't have played any better than that. The energy was crazy. I was surprised Artest wasn't making those 3's, but he definitely made it up with his defense.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) great game especially considering how terribly we shot
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) Derek's perimeter game again makes me weep. We need to hit the inside and just keep going to it until someone stops us. Otherwise we have no reason to go away from something that works.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) keep feeding the ball to Bynum and Gasol. We will sweep this series. They need to clog the lane better. Westbrook burned the defense so many times....
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) I missed the halftime show, but heard there was a "LeBron on Kobe" segment. Does anyone have a link to it?? What did LBJ say?
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) it was boring. no need to even bother watching it. he said Kobe was one of the best players of all time and that he's fun to watch, since he's been in the NBA since he was 19 (he was wrong, 17 actually). It was like 30 seconds.
Re: Playoffs Round 1: Oklahmona City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers Kobe and Lamar will stop themselves... I was happy to see our effort on the defensive end... and due to that we were able to grind out a win... I hope as the series progresses, the offense comes back and our wins become more convincing... Out of the 8 teams that won their 1st game, we scored the 2nd lowest number of points... thats just wrong. Kobe is pulling a Shaq with his FTs. The FG% i can take, some were unlucky... but FTs? come on, this is what you need down the stretch.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) Good point, Pau and Andrew need to fight for position better. Sometimes they would just give up, on the other end, the guards gotta be more patient.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) It was a good enough win, considering how poorly Kobe played and how poorly we shot, especially in the 2nd half. I will say this though, the defense, for the most part, was great. Durant was frustrated all game and they, in general, struggled offensively. I'd like to see a cleaner win in game 2, and I'd love to see them feed the bigs more often, but a win's a win, and you'll take all you can get in the playoffs.
Re: 1st round: OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers (Lakers lead 1-0) I just looved the defensive energy - that's what we need to repeat. We can have bad night at offense but there's no such thing as bad night at defense, just hustle and contest everything. Game one gave me hope
Re: Playoffs Round 1: Oklahmona City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers Yeah, he's been real bad with his FTs lately. Ever since that game with Portland where he missed both to take the lead with only several seconds left in the game. It's pretty weird. When you saw Kobe going to the free-throw line you knew 2 points were coming up.
