The title still runs through LA.

i hope the cavs die

Pffft. The quality of the teams in the playoffs this year is garbage. I'm watching some of these games and thinking how did they possibly make it with that kind of playing. Lots of sloppy basketball.

Boston/Miami. Both garbage. Boston is nothing like the Boston of old. Pretty weak. Lets not forget that Miami lead them for a good chunk of Game 1. Only reason they won is because Miami sucked more and gave the lead back.

Then the blowout we had. WTF. I'm not surprised if that was the final straw for Wade and he leaves Miami. Pat Riley will have to bring in some really big names to convince him otherwise.

Cleveland/Chicago. The ugliest ball handling I've seen in a long time by both teams. They got no handles. What happened to finesse playing? Ugh.

Lakers. C'mon. In Game 1 OKC kept it close even with their bad performance. Game 2 OKC was dominating the whole time IMO even when they where down. I wouldn't be surprised if they take 2 games from LA. OKC is the only team I'm really impressed with right now.

Can't judge the other series since I haven't caught a game yet. May try to see one from the Denver/Utah, Orlando/Charlotte, and Dallas/San Antonio. Anybody watching those? Please tell me its better.

Atlanta/Bucks is a done deal already, and the fact that Phoenix lost that first game makes me uninterested in that series for some reason.

[mothon]

OKC is playing really good right now. I think they will win tonight. But i really doubt they can win in LA.

[I LUV MY S13]

fuckin Lakers

[SimpleS14]

I can definitely see the LA/OKC series going 4-2

[lawrenceyang]

I can definitely see the LA/OKC series going 4-3 or 3-4 for the lakers

[ALTRNTV]

Dude, the Lakers are.....they're just......Dude, i don't even know right now. I just hope they get their shit together.

[KiLLeR2001]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaa bullls!!!!!!!

[I LUV MY S13]

So I take it they lost..? i shut that shit off after the 1st quarter

[ALTRNTV]

Well, to put things in perspective... OKC is a 50-win team. They'd be #4 in the East. The West is STACKED. See how competitive
the Western Playoffs have been compared to the East? The equivalent to LAL/OKC series record wise would be CLE/BOS, so
I can see why LA is having a hard time with the Thunder. I give the Thunder a lot of props to pushing the Lakers this far. Durant
and Westbrook are killin' it.

[I LUV MY S13]

Its not that okc is playing good that pisses me off, its the fact that we're playing bad, i mean really bad..once thunder get a littlet momentum on their side the lakers fall on their ass

i always knew ok was good, durant doing so well at his age amazes me..westbrook is goo i have him on my team on nba 2k10 haha

Right now it looks like offensively the Lakers aren't picking up the slack. The bench doesn't seem to be showing up and Artest isn't the offensive threat he was in Houston. Right now it seems that only Pau and Kobe are doing all the heavy lifting and that's not enough to win.

kobe hasn't been doing shit. he's taking bad shots and shooting what, below or around 40% ?
edit: didn't read the last part of your post, i completely agree with you. lakers aren't looking like championship caliber material right now

[redZENKI]

From a Seattle Sonics fan,

Lakers... please beat OKC! Don't give that city anything they don't deserve besides an ass whoopin!



What could've been...

Hey remember Kobe ain't 100% right now, finger and leg is bugging him but trust me I've been a laker fan since I was little and I have faith in him and he will distroy them in game 5, and hey it's the playoffs the Rockets gave a headach to the lakers in the 09 series, But I agree there not playing like champions but it will change.

yea i remember. one of the reasons that i've turned into a laker hater is cause of the finger, every time he hits a clutch shot people are always like, he did that WITH a broken finger ! he's the greatest ! but then when he sucks like he has been people say, ohh his fingers broken. people gotta stop using the finger as an accuse. still have mad respect for him, i think he's better than jordan, im more of a laker fan hater come to think of it =p. don't really care which way this series goes but it would be great to see the faces of laker fans if okc somehow pulls through =)

How can you see them as the Supersonics? Once a team moves to another state and changes their name its a new Franchise to me.

Anyways, that city has already gotten a lot. OKC had nothing to lose yet they've accomplished much more than anyone expected.

The defending champs on the other hand, I'd be worried about what this series tells you about the state of the team. It only took them 5 playoff games to wake up....wtf mate.

[ALTRNTV]

It took them 5 games... better late than never. I'm not too concerened though, as the rest of the Lakers not named
Artest know what it takes to reach the top again.

Boston in 7!

[9s13Coupe3SX]

I don't know why you guys tripping on lakers, you know they're doing it to bring in revenues. No one in the west can take them period, look at the pre season record with them against the west, 3-1, 2-1 with laker always on top. Don't be surprise lakers can turn it up anytime they want, no big surprise, they always done this kind of stuff.

I don't see them as the Supersonics, hence why my prayers were answered when the Lakers gave them an ass whoopin last night. I 100% agree with you that they are not the same franchise, and I will never support the Thunders for as long as I live.

I've always hated the Lakers growing up especially with the Lakers/Sonics rivalry, but for now, an enemy of my enemy is my friend for the time being.

any thoughts on the celtics/cavs series ?

Yah, I think that one is going to be a 7 game series. I do however wonder who is going to cover Lebronze from the Celtics?

[lawrenceyang]

all five green shirts on the court T____T.

[DJDANGER24]

for the Lakers fans out there....LMFAO

[lawrenceyang]

^hahahahaha what the fuck is wrong with this guy

[joesmiths14]

Utah will win the series tonight, if not, the next game after.

my guess Utah wins series 4-1

go Jazz!
