This is still a game because the Lakers are hurting themselves like they have all season by not getting the ball in the post enough.

OKC's coach is in Kobe's head.
NVM, he has been shooting 30% for the past two weeks now.

There isn't a single player on the floor that is thinking anything about the opposing coach. That's your coaches job. They're professionals.
It's hilarious that people think Phil Jackson has some voodoo mind control trick.

Kobe is getting babied by the refs, reason why he has been the the line more than Durant.
Sure hope that OKC's coach complains about it.

Kobe has been aggressive today, Durant has not. He has no where to go, he's the focal point of the Laker D, which he should be. They know the other 4 guys can't beat them. Which is why I don't understand how anyone thought or thinks the Thunder have a snowballs chance in this series. Especially Cavs fans, we've seen this before with LeBron. Durant isn't as good as LeBron and when LeBron was in this situation we weren't playing teams as good as the Lakers.

I am just messing with the Lakers fans.
Kobe is still playing like shit. He'll have to step it up if the Lakers want a chance to repeat.

Oh absolutely. Their competition will get MUCH, MUCH better in the next series. The Thunder were overrated. Good young team, but they still only have 1 BIG TIME talent and youth doesn't win in this league.

LMAO, I'll bet you 1,000 dollars they don't win this series.
Never said Westbrook wasn't good. Green is good too. They're a good young team. Doesn't mean they'll beat the Lakers.

I don't think the Thunder are overrated for a few reasons.
1-it's hard to overrate the 8th seed
2-they're only down 8, it's not like they're gettin blown out

Is Brooks really the COY? Artest goes down with 4 fouls and you take Durant and Westbrook out? Dumb.

That being said, I still say the Lakers win in 5.
But even then, I wouldn't call OKC overrated.

An easy way to overrate the 8th seed is to say they have a chance to win this series, which has been said by MANY, MANY people. They've ignored the youth and not learned anything from the past.SportsAndLady wrote: I don't think the Thunder are overrated for a few reasons.

They're only down 8, well 11 now. But the game is far from over and IMO the Lakers have played poorly since the 1st quarter. But if you've been watching, have you ever felt that the Lakers weren't in control? Because I haven't. The only time I got even half that feeling was when Artest picked up #4. But then they took Durant out. Now it's too late in the game for Artest's foul issues to become much of a problem and Phil has an easy choice to make about when to bring him back in. At this point he can come back in whenever Durant does.

Doesn't every team have a chance?

And people weren't picking the Thunder to win, they were saying they'll make this a good series (meaning close games, which it has been thus far). Of the 10 "experts picks" i've seen from the ESPN guys, all 10 have the Lakers winning...only 1 person (Jalen Rose) had them winning in less than 6 games. So everyone was just saying this series will be close, not that the THunder will win.

Of course, because those guys on ESPN are well aware of how many 8 seeds have ever won. I'm not talking about guys at ESPN.
And yes, technically every team has a chance. I assumed you smart enough to realize I wasn't being that technical, but I guess not.

People usually do develop some level of hatred for things/people they can't beat. It's ok, you're normal.

I disagree with the commentators as well. IMO, the Thunder aren't in the game because of defense. They're in the game because of the Lakers doing the same shit that led to them losing games in the regular season. They take breaks on defense and the big men don't have enough touches. If they pounded the ball inside this would be a 20 point game.
