LA in 5 with the one Game the Thunder win Westbrook shits on Fisher and goes for 40+


The Lakers have a cakewalk *knocks on wood* to the WCF. They avoid Dallas, San Antonio, Denver, & Portland.



hopefully the Thunder don't pull a GSW

Agree. I think the Lakers take care of business relatively easily. They dodged a bullet with SA IMO.

The Thunder will get a lot of hype, but they won't have shit for the Lakers.

Should be a entertaining series. I think LA will win, but not as easily as expected.

I'll say LA in 6. Durant is going to be hungry for his first ever playoff series, giving LA some fits that will make this somewhat competitive.

I think the Thunder will win their two home games, they are ridiculously good at home. I think their losses will be close, but they'll still lose in 6.

I think the Thunder can win, but they probably won't.

LA in 6.

I can see it going 7 games. Let's not forget.. there were moments in the playoffs that made you think LA would not win the series. No way should Houston have been able to hang, but they did. However, LA turned it on when they needed to. That exact series is a reason I'll still take them to win it all. I'll believe in them until somebody ends their playoff lives.

This should be a fantastic series. Kevin Durant vs. the second best player in the NBA and the defending champs. I'd be a little nervous drawing the Thunder if I'm the Lakers, but I think the Lakers should win it due to experience, and being a better team. Gotta say one thing though, I don't see any game where the Lakers will have an easy win. Durant and Co. are feisty.

I think some of you guys are underselling the Thunder.

I'll go LA in 6, but it will be a tough 6.

I think people are overhyping them. Or underestimating the playoff version of the Lakers.

Russell Westbrook is going to shit on Fisher and Durant is going to shit on Artest.

That alone will push this to 6.

The Lakers will win it in six, but Westbrook and Durant will both have monster series. The Lakers don't have anyone who can guard either of those guys, but the fact that the Thunder really only have a two men bench and that both of them play the same position is gonna kill them. Oh and they don't have a Center.

The Thunder have been secretly and patiently waiting for the playoffs to unleash the force that is BJ Mullens....:D

The Thunder can definitely win, only because of their "We're not scared of anybody" youthful mentality.

That being said, Lakers in 5 or 6.

Lakers in 4 or 5.

By the end people will forget that Cleveland is better because they'll be shocked at how much better LA looks.
