Thurs. 2/23 - Lakers @ Thunder - Predictions & Comments

lakers you have 2 min to do something and get it back to 7 or less otherwise kd will go off on our sf's or kobe and thats def game

With how our bench has played and the off nights by Kobe and Drew...... I'm not scared of OKC. If this was in LA our bench would be better and we would be right there.

OKC hasn't really played that great either thought.

they're chanting OKC

We have no quality players that can create. Our offense is laborious and inefficient.

Kobe is painful to watch

I don't even blame Mike Brown. What you expect him to do with this roster? We have too many players that just aren't good, playing big minutes. Like Artest, Fisher etc.

Man...

For all the people who keep saying that the lakers should "pound it inside" all the time, please stop. Bynum is only effective 1 on 1 and that's still not a sure thing. Gasol doesn't seem to like to post up because he keeps taking those little shots instead of using his length and height and working the post. MWP sucks. This offense has to be better than is, it has to. You can't last in the playoffs when you are so predictible, easy to defend and flat out ineffective. The only inside plays I've seen that I like are all the high-low passes from pau to drew that lead to easy buckets. That's about it. The post up process takes forever, and usually leads to the wing player having the ball with 5 seconds or so and trying to decide whether to shoot it from outside or to pass it back to the post so the big can see if he can score with 4 seconds on the clock and a double team.

lol damn they r workin us

wow Porkins beating Bynum across the court for that stuff, I'm shocked

In the half court we are a pretty good defensive team and they aren't all that in the half court either. Their beatable in the playoffs.....

Let's be realistic: they would destroy us in the playoffs. We just can't keep up with them, and their bench player Harden is better then anyone on this team not named Kobe, Bynum or Pau.

At this rate we're fighting to stay in playoff contention. Not the championship.

Dude where the F is the and-1 for Bryant?

lol we always make a push with like 4 mins left and we still end up losing

We have a decent team but we sure don't utilize the pieces to full effect.

Sure they are, just not by us.

The game slows down in the playoffs..... they don't really have a lot of discipline in the half court. Westbrook is a mental midget when the pressure is on...

looks like they fell for kobes pump fakes that time..

now kobe is going to try lol smh

Kobe just faked 3 guys.
