Well, Javie was in fine form and tough to beat so i guess ABC should be disappointed.

The no-call on the Kobe drive to the hoop was shocking in it's brazenness.

Terrible officiating.. took Kobe right out of the game. Disgusting the gifted games OKC gets..

Big win really keeps LA soundly in 3rd.

Somewhere, OKC fans are complaining about how they got jobbed though.

Getting jobbed is nowhere near as bad as getting Jav'd. Actually I dunno about that. Getting Garretson'd and Wood'd is pretty bad too. lol

Next Sunday's another big game for us. Lakers at Spurs. But the two before that should, I repeat, should, be wins up against Charlotte and Minnesota.

Kobe hits a clutch shot once again, LO shows why he shouldn't shoot free throws in crunch time, and the Lakers escape with a win. Just another day at the office for the guys wearing purple-and-gold.

They should, but you never know with this team. Next Sunday will be much tougher than today's game was. If we beat Minny and Charlotte, and then win in San Antonio, it will be a very big deal.

We won, but I didn't like Kobe's game today. He was defended very well today and forced a lot of shots and we aren't going to go all the way with nothing but Kobe isolations for the last 1/2 of the fourth quarters.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it any better. Imagine a 7 W - 0 L streak...including wins at OKC and SAS. That would be friggin' amazing . But yeah, all we can do is stand on the sidelines and cheer our [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] off. Hopefully that will help the team out a little. Lol

I thought James Harden defended him well, TBH (the refs notwithstanding). He did force some shots he shouldn't have. Fortunately for us, he made a clutch shot at the end.

What's interesting is that we never seem to win more than 7 or 8 in a row, so I wouldn't be surprised if we win 7 games in a row and then lose the next one (a road game in Atlanta). But we'll see.

lots of horrible calls in the second half especially...KObe got murdered on a drive and no call, another time hit on the hand and no call, another time called for a bogus offensive foul, another time called for a bogus defensive foul, another time got hit on the arm shooting a J and no call...

that being said, the only positive thing Kobe did was not shoot us out of the game. He resisted long enough for us to get a cushion although he was awful in the 4th with all those stupid shots.

The defense picked up in the second half and the Thunder went away from scoring inside and got into shooting some Js. Thank god Westbrook's legs were shot in the second half and he couldn't drive to the rim like he did in the first half.

Gasol had pretty good stats but he was absolutely awful. With him on the floor, nothing worked. Without him on the floor, we always made a run.

Also how the eff do you give Odom the ball in crunch time? one of the worst clutch FT shooters in the NBA? and I dunno if I'm more mad at Odom getting the ball or Odumb not passing the ball quickly to get the ball into the hands of Kobe.

I wanted to kill someone after that no call on Kobe's drive.

The Lakers didn't play their best game...glad they pulled it out.
