You're saying they shouldn't be up 2-1?

They had game 2 in the books and choked it away. It should be 2-1, which means absolutely nothing because they are down 1-2. But they have a chance to tie it up tonight and go back to OKC with all the momentum.

If they are able to win this series and IMO that is a huge if, we are going to continue to hear it.

They are done, they don't have enough, Kobe is washed up, Pau is soft, blah blah blah.

It could just as easily be 3-0 thunder. If the lakers don't shoot 675 free throws last night, they don't win that game.

If that is the case, OKC should be up 2-1 because they blew a late lead in Game 3.

Can't have it both ways.

The "shoulda, coulda" talk is annoying. It is what it is and OKC is up 2-1.

Exactly. How many BS fouls did Kobe draw on Harden?

40+ FT's? Seriously?

No doubt in my mind that same crew will be working Game 4 of the Heat - Pacers game.

Not sure what is funny. Apparently, a lot of people out there only saw or heard about game 1. Maybe it's just my perception, but I've seen quite a few negative references about the Lakers the last 24 hours. Not necessarily about them being "the Lakers", but how they are no longer elite or able to win it all.

Maybe they won't win another game in the series. It's just funny that people seem to have missed the major choke job on Thursday and the fact that they could easily be going for a 3-1 lead tonight. We'll see, and I'm by no means an LAL fan.

The 42 free throws (or 675) were ridiculous but they also made 41 of them, too. I don't see them shooting 98% from the free throw line the rest of the series.

Again, your logic is flawed. OKC choked away the game last night. It goes both ways.

One thing I have noticed during these playoffs is that the East plays much better D than the West.

That was a blatant charge by Kobe, but naturally it's a foul on Perkins.

Really hope Westbrook is ok. I'm not a fan of his really, but I never like seeing someone go down. Especially like that.

Slipped right before the buzzer all on his own. Looked like a groin maybe.

Lakers are going to lose this series in OKC. Refs aren't on their side over there.
