Official 2012 Lakers vs Thunder Playoff Thread

[M.H.C.]

Re: Thunder Playoff Thread

Honestly I don't see how LA wins this series. To me the Lakers were exposed a long time ago. Yeah they have Pau and Bynum who helped them win 2 titles back to back but the Lakers are missing an Odom type player who was able to provide some additional size and skill coming off the bench.

With Odom and others, LA was allowed to rest the starters and the bench could still keep them in the game. Well now LA is going against a starting 5 that can bury them and hold a lead and the bench can come play "clean up" against the Lakers bench. Steve Blake is not going to be able to hit 5 3's a game for them and with proven consistent scorers on their bench, OKC has what it takes to put LA away if they have the lead.

If OKC stays mentally focused, then it should be a sweep. Kobe's not saving them this time. The Lakers better rally up the troops and demand everybody's A game. I just don't see that happening though.

I wonder what Bynum and Gasol are talking about

 

[BDR]

Beeii YOU REP TWO TEAMS!!!!!!

That's like OJ Simpson shaking his head at Casey Anthony and saying "I can't believe this bitch got away with murder."

In the same division at that smh

 

[Real2DaC0re]

I wonder what Bynum and Gasol are talking about

They talking about where they are going to sit at on the plane to LA.

 

[M.H.C.]

I wonder what Bynum and Gasol are talking about

Discussing which one is going to supply the boat, fishing rods, women, etc.

Thunder Playoff Thread

I wonder what Bynum and Gasol are talking about

they frequently talk to each other about the game, during and after.

networks should put microphones on them if they want fans to hear players talk about the game. instead, they broadcast empty bullshit rah rah sideline cheerleading from basketball dunces.

 

[swipe]

same here I would love for these kids to win a chip. The Lakers could lose by 50 tonight and I can still see them winning this series. OKC shots are falling tonight. I will pay attention to see how LA makes a adjustments in GM 2.

In 4 games this year the only adjustment the Lakers made that worked was an elbow to Harden's head. It still took overtime to eke out a win.

Re: Thunder Playoff Thread

The only question left for me is will the Lakers outing be as bad as it was last year.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

In 4 games this year the only adjustment the Lakers made that worked was an elbow to Harden's head. It still took overtime to eke out a win.

exactly
they were up double digits in that game too and then laid out the x factor for them and the lakers managed to eek it out

the lakers advantage is inside. bynum and gasol need to combine for 60 points and 30 boards for the lakers to win.

the lakers can't put kobe on westbrook because they need him to have energy on offense.

sessions, blake, anybody can't guard westbrook none of them.

artest can't guard durant because durant is too tall so he can shoot over him any time he wants to

if durant wanted to play inside there would be a different story, if they run the pick and roll with durant and westbrook there is a huge mismatch

and the thing is the only perimeter player that the lakers can really threaten with....none of them, westbrook, durant or harden have to guard, they have a defensive specialist.

and the bench is in favor of okc as well

the lakers are going to have to get okc bigs in foul trouble and have their bigs stay out of foul trouble, its the only chance they have at winning. gasol and bynum have to play great...kobe is a wash because like last series he can score 40 and if the bigs don't do anything they can lose handily

gonna be tough but it can be done

[curryshotta]

the scouting report on westbrook is that he loves coming off that screen to get that mid-range jumper shot jut above the FT line.

He raped Dallas with it.They didnt adjust.

He raped LA with it in the first game.He is going to look for it time and time again. How the Lakers deal with it is going to be interesting

 

[curryshotta]

Russ be trolling

Look at you niggas. LA get blown out and this shit is four pages after game 1!

Fuck ya'll scouting reports. Everyone can sound like an expert after a loss. One game can make a difference, so let's see how they respond. Everybody predicting doom for LA 'cause they sick of LA winning rings.

LA got their asses whooped, but a game where OKC shot lights out probably isn't the best game to gauge how the series will turn out.

Let LA win the next game, and we may get four posts instead of four pages.

LA in seven.

All we need is M.W.P. to do is put Durant in a coma, and this shit is a wrap!

 

[FJP]

One thing I did realize is that OKC especially KD takes a TON of terrible shots.

 

[FJP]

VA man shut up. Nobody really cares about LA and rings. The "fans"(most who were Bulls fans during the 90's) only care about that so when they lose they can talk about rings.

If they don't care about LA winning rings, they why do people who aren't fans of LA, or fans of the team that beat LA feel the need to flood LA threads when they lose?

Nigga, this shit is 4 pages after game 1. GTFO. It is a known fact that niggas hate to see LA win. You being one of the main niggas on the anti-LA/anti-Kobe bullshit.

Next you're going to tell me that cranrab is a fan of Kobe. Please don't insult my intelligence.

Not going to happen..And I dont say that because KD is a superhuman.

But MWP can only do so much on Durant without fouling him and sending him to the FT line where he shoots high 80 percentages.

 

[FJP]

On a analytic note, LA can win this series for 2 reasons.

#1. For all the talent they have, OKC's basketball IQ is quite low. They turn the ball over a lot and take very questionable shots they just happen to go in. And they aren't stellar on defense.

#2. LA has the 2 best big men in the league. That's the thing that can slow OKC down, half court post offense.

But the problem is OKC has the one element that LA simply wilts against ...... A penetrating PG. In the past 2 years LA barely beat average teams with good penetrating PG in the first round and ran into the same kind of PG with a better team in the second.

All in all I think LA gets 2 just on IQ

Man, it's like this...

...this game doesn't tell me shit other than LA needs to get their act together.

OKC maybe better, but they're not game 1 better.

give it up dude

Nearly every playoff thread sees action. There is nothing "special" about this thread with people coming in to troll.

Besides....you arent a laker fan....you are a kobe fan..you said so yourself. I respect you for your honesty about that

The shooting wasnt the surprising part.

Only 4 turnovers was the real bunny out the tophat part.OKC usually turns it over far more than that.

LA got to do something about denying Westbrook that just above the FT line jumper.

Dude, GTFO.

Since LA start going to championships again, dudes like myself, Tim Rock, Complex, and other ALWAYS pointed out how fucking quiet everyone would be after LA won in the playoff threads, but it would get more action than ANY other playoff thread after a loss. This isn't even debatable, and can EASILY be proven with a little diligent searching.

Don't act like this hasn't been pointed out many times on this forum.

At the same time, I see you in damn near every LA/Kobe thread. It's funny that the two dudes that I see going in on LA in every damn thread were the two to respond to what I said.

Hollering .... hit dogs ..... ?

As for me not being an LA fan: What team does Kobe play for?

Man the same reason people flood the Knicks, and Heat threads, both of which were longer after fans one. The Heat thread when they lose is by far the biggest thread and they haven't won shit.

Far as this Anti-Kobe shit besides cranrab nobody else really has a hate for Kobe. People just don't agree with his purported greatness. That's not hate it's analysis.

Nothing in this thread is hate. The Lakers got their ass whooped by a team that besides an elbow and an unbelievable series of tough Kobe shits going in..... Has whooped their ass all damn year.

Give me a break. I am in every basketball thread because..........I like basketball. I am in bulls threads, knicks threads, Philly threads......Orlando threads.

In fact I have probably commented on ever bball related thread posted in the last year or so. If I havent, it would be in very few

Kadaffi and I had back and forths in bball threads during THE LOCKOUT.

I bring up topics related to threads about THE PLAYERS UNION.

Me being in an LA/Kobe thread proves what? That you cant comment in a thread without being a team supporter?

1. The Heat are very much hated, but they are Johnny Come Lately's It's like you niggas saying Lebron gets too much hate, but took part in all the Kobe bashing threads.

Holla at me when Lebron gets a thread entitled, 'Why do you HATE Lebron?" that goes seven pages. The thing about a thread like that is, it was ASSUMED that the hate existed. He didn't even ask IF you hated Kobe, but WHY you hated him. That's deep, bro'. If that doesn't completely destroy what you said about cranrab being the only one, then what will?

2.







Of course you won't watch them, but I just posted thread videos, all over nine minutes long, of PLAYERS and COACHES saying the same shit BGOL niggas say in every Kobe thread.

Who the fuck are you niggas to listen to when the people who have to play and plan for this dude say the same shit we say?



Cranrab says he's not as good as Keith Bogans. That's a dude so blinded by hate that he can't see the blindingly obvious.

You said in the past that he's not GREAT, yet NBA legends, coaches, and even legendary players disagree. Somehow, I'm supposed to believe YOU over what I see and what they SEE?

You're blinded by hate fam. But, guess what? As someone who doesn't want to be labeled a hater, you will deny hating Kobe in the same way obvious racists deny being racists.

I been in here punk, don't worry about me, like VA said, you fag-rab, FJP, and all the other anti-Laker/Lebron-stan BGOL brigade run up in here to talk shit...where were y'all in the Nuggets thread...



Anyways, like i said in an earlier post, I predicted a blowout win for OKC, only for the Lakers to bounce back, OKC gets props, Westbrook jumper was falling, he has a 3-15 performance lurking in him anytime now...

I wish these cats would watch and listen these vids.

They would be educated. These cats are telling you WHY he's great. The same people who have to guard him and come up with game plans to stop him. Not some niggas on a forum who never played pro ball, let alone AGAINST Kobe.


Stacey Augmon said, 'I guarded Kobe, and I guarded Michael, and I can't really tell the difference."

I'm not even saying Kobe is better than Mike, but why would the comparisons persist this long, AND THE MAN HIMSELF ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THEM, if he isn't comparable?

These dudes are sick and they don't even know it.

I had a uncle who was a stone cold alcoholic, and he believed he wasn't. He believed that bullshit 'til his dying day, just like these dudes will believe Kobe isn't great all the way to his first-ball HOF induction.

 

[FJP]

I swear this kid is retarded. When any hated team wins the threads are shorter. Compare the Heat Playoff threads last year in which had way more replies than this one. That Mavericks thread is 25 pages.
