Don't forget to read through the CL G uidelines concerning personal attacks a\nd swearing.

Uh... yeah whatever, meh.

We must win this game ! Gotta punk and demolish these Thunders please !

must win game imo.

They probably won't win but hopefully they put some more effort into it this time.

let s hope they come to play this time. because tired legs fatigued or what ever that game 1 loss was a humiliating beat down and a thrashing from begin till end and a shame. but i still believe that lakers can turn around if everybody is on the same page espicially on defense. like i said still believe in lakers but this game is a must to show up . if they could make it close till the end they have a chance to win that and steal the game. but regardless of what i expect them to play much better in game 2 . to be honest much more worse then game 1 i don t think it can t be.so go lakers go

I can see another blowout coming. Like you guys mentioned before, MUST WIN GAME.

don't get swept please

Really. May god bless the Lakers against OKC.

Not a must win game, but pretty close to it.

PLEASE WIN. That is all.

it's a defining moment for this lakers squad. come out and fight, or just roll over and die. what'll it be

If we lose this game the series is over.

I predict blowout loss again. We lose in 5.

Must win.

Another loss

History says all great empires fall. The Lakers took that fall last year, and will again this year. Sorry, I'm a realist and that's the way it's gonna go. But, I will always root for my team. Win or lose, I'm a fan till the end.

OKC is a rising talent and it's their time to shine. I think they have more drive and desire to become the next NBA championship team. They're running on all cylinders like a well oiled machine. They are playing the game without thinking; It's coming to them naturally. If they keep jiving like they were last game, nobody can stop them.

to many doubters. please call yourself not lakers fans if you are saying lakers will loose or get blown out.regardless how good okc is that isn t a good behaviour for a fan, yeah bad loss in game 1 but it was only 1 game and yeah it was a beating but stick with your team and don t predict ed losses to them despite the fact that thunder right now have the better team . but it is a shame for a lakers fan to give up on them and predict losses . i hate such attitude. enough said . oh one more thing i am not blind i know this game is importnant and very difficult to win but before the game is over to give up on your team as as so called fan , no that is bad

Hopefully the Lakers are a little more rested, play with more of a sense of urgency, and the Thunder don't play out of their collective mind tonight like they did in game 1.

I have a feeling we win this one.

This will be a statement game for the Lakers tonight. They will show that they are more than capable of taking OKC's best shot (game 1) and will get back up and win this ball game.

Okay. So OKC looks pretty much unstoppable. But! Going into this game, how should our defense be played? Especially on those god awful pick and rolls?

well according to kobe we can't guard them

Would be great to win this game and possibly go up 3-1 if we take business at home. Let's get a win here!

Sadly, I think it's four double digit losses in a row. It seems near impossible for us to even stay within single digits for one half against this team let alone beat them. I'd love to see our guys employ brisk ball movement, inspired defense and give the Thunder something to think about, but I'm not holding my breath.

This is a must win. No doubt about it. If we don't win this game, I can see us losing in five...

Lakers by 6.

Thank god I got a day off tomorrow. These 3:30 am starts are taking a toll on me

I feel the same way. I'll support and root for the Lakers this entire series, but I think they are outclassed and I believe Game 2 will be similar to Game 1 with likely a closer final score.

I know the Lakers have the talent to pull off a road win, but I question their coach and their effort/intensity at this point. Hopefully Kobe finds a way to lead them to victory.
