I thought Denver's crowd yesterday was subdued, but this Staples crowd takes the cake. Easily the most quiet and weak playoff crowd so far this year.
Lol at the part about Durant outplaying anyone. At least Bryant is old and hurt. I expect Durant to bounce back later in the series, but some of these other comments about him are just ridiculous.
Lakers are winning for two reasons. Bynum's presence in the middle and Fisher's three point shooting. Durant outplayed Kobe and it will be interesting to see how they both as the series moves on. Thunder have completely dominated the Lakers since the first quarter. Thunder will steal game 2 and run the Lakers out of the gym at the Ford Center in Games 3 & 4. Thunder should win game 5 but if they don't, game 6 will be a gimme for them. Lakers should be worried.
He hit three huge threes including the one late in the 4th quarter that iced it. It was remniscent of his Game 4 performance in the Finals last season. Yes, he missed some shots, but he always seemed to hit the big back breaking shots.
The game is 4 quarters long, it doesn't matter what he does in one specific stretch. Durant was less efficient than Kobe, and turned the ball over more.
Durant scored more points than Kobe and grabbed three times as many rebounds. And this was Durant's first playoff game. Man, when Kobe was a rookie, he just hoisted up airball after airball.
Haha nice one. It doesn't really matter who was better since they were both so terrible. But nice attempt trying to hype up that performance, at least Bryant can handle the ball and shoot 6-19. Your boy isn't suffering through any injuries, he's just shaken.
As much as I love and have defended Durant, he didn't have that great a game thanks to the combined defense of Kobe and Artest. He looked shook out there. Kobe played some great help D in that game. On another note, I'm not sure if you're just trying to get a rise out of people if you think that "anyone who know basketball can see the Thunder will win the next 4 games".
Some of you have cheapened what it means to be a TRAILBLAZER fan today. 5 pages of updates about a game between 2 teams we supposedly hate. Shame on you, Eric, and shame on the people you commented on this game.
Watching Durant struggle today against Artest makes me miss Roy even more for the Suns series. Brandon torched the Artest/Battier combo, and he had to get past Yao in the paint. A healthy Brandon would dominate the series against the Suns. Damn it.
I just like to watch the playoffs. I suppose I could complain about people watching and posting about the playoffs. Or, I could post nonstop about how shitty Nate is, and call myself a big fan.
Yah, being a Trail Blazer fan means you never talk about other games in "our" forum! Ironically enough, it also means you don't constantly bitch about the coach only to disappear when the team starts playing better.
