Man, if they come back to OKC with a 3-2 lead....

David Stern won't let that happen. This series is going 7. Who's reffing this series?

 

The Lakers aren't going to get [expletive] for calls as long as they keep chucking up jump shots all night long like they have been doing.

That's what Chris Webber and Mike Bibby thought as well.

The Thunder have shot more free throws in all four games of the series including 22 more in Game 3 and 20 more in Game 4 and they've deserved it.

I know, I'm just having fun. I do hope the series goes all 7. I also hope the last game is competitive. The Thunder are awesome. I knew they were good, but didn't think they could play with the Lakers yet.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

i cant figure this out. the lakers have two 7-footers in their starting lineup. I honestly think that if they came down the court and just gave the ball to gasol and bynum and cleared out, they would have won the series by now.

 

of course they tried that in the first quarter and fell behind by 20. honestly they just looked old and slow and unwilling to fight back tonight, it was bizarre. I can understand the old and slow thing, but they didn't appear to even care. Maybe they know they're going to go back to LA and win, so why bother expending all the energy it would take to get back in this one?

 

I didn't see a second of yesterday's game but I totally agree with your first paragraph. The Thunder should have no defense for Bynum, Gasol and even Odom. Admittedly those 3 should make their presence felt on defense too but I don't think any of those 3 care about D.

The West is ridiculous in the playoffs:

 

No. 1 Lakers are tied 2-2 and got blown out in Game 4.

No. 2 Mavericks are six minutes away from going down 3-1.

No. 3 Suns are tied 2-2.

No. 4 Nuggets are down 2-1.

 

There's a realistic chance that all of the top-four seeds could get eliminated in the first round.

That would actually make the 2nd round of the playoffs worth watching.

The thought of Utah, by seed, being favored to win the West after this round is pretty funny. Though honestly, if the bottom 4 seeds all won, I'd give the Thunder as good a shot as anybody.

Oh it's going to be fun going to work here in Dallas this morning. I warned these blowhards that San Antonio was going to give them fits, but they assured me it would take the Mavs no more than 5 games to win this series.

The Spurs and Jazz were the two best teams in the West over the last two months of the season, so it's not completely surprising to me. Not to mention that the difference between the 2 seed and the 8 seed was what, 4 games?

The Jazz series is surprising to me because of their injuries which I thought would give the series to the Nuggets.

Deron Williams is controlling that series.

The games I have seen from that series leave me saying one team makes all the adjustments and has good game plans and the other team doesn't. The Nuggets aren't playing well and while it's not just because Karl is not there that does have a lot to do with it.

 

The Mavs I thought were the most likely team to make it to the Finals out of the West. It's not that surprising but Rick Carlisle is getting out coached in that series. Carlisle's teams always seem to come up short of their potential in the playoffs.
