Mon 5/21 - Lakers @ Thunder - Game 5 - Predictions/Comments

Ibaka took 8 shots already...

Mike Brown nearly lost his job if Kobe got his 3rd in the first quarter....

we just got bailed out...then again, we deserve it cuz we NEVER get any calls when we take it to the hole (Pau and Kobe have drove in multiple times and gotten NO calls)

Kobe on the bench...OKC going to +20 in 2nd.....i can see that with no any doubt

well okc knows pau is useless. drew gets in foul trouble. so it's Kobe 1 on 5. they can live with that...aka we already lost. we need drew for every quarter and he didn't get to do anything in the first and prob second.

seems like everyone but Kobe is in dgaf mode. pau is trying but failing like I called. Blake useless. metta not aggressive at all it seems on O but yes on D. sesh can't finish...

not rebounding at all. doesn't look good even if Kobe goes for 40+ of he doesn't pick up his 3rd foul like he almost did (refs gave us that one)

Really need for Drew to have a good quarter

Just don't let Kobe to cover Harden, that should be fine.

Hopefully. If this continues we're eventually gonna get blown out.

He (and everyone else) has to find a way to get the team involved. They'll miss shots but they'll also make shots. When the Spurs when down 24 to the Clippers, they just kept doing the same thing they always do (which wasn't working at first). And they came back.

Let's ride Kobe's hot hand for now, but if we're going to win this someone else has to step up and we need to play team ball and find out what will work tonight.

This. As much as I like the performance from Kobe so far, he is too old to sustain this performance for the entire game. Other players need to step up.

Too late. MB should have gone to Ebanks earlier in the series.

It's Mike Brown....of course it's 4 games to late. Should have been in since the start of the series.

lol Sessions so horrible

Sessions blowing right by Fish.

PLAY SOME D and REBOUND!

Harden is so talented & smart.

Oh Pau you are lost on defense.....that's definitely not the first time that's happened. Probably more like the 52135 time in your Laker career.

No Kobe now so no excuses for these guys not to score.

Even though Gasol has missed some shots, I like his agression so far.

There we go Drew.
