I can't wait for this game to start. It needs to be 930 now haha I don't know about you guys but I think we are going to come out and play very well. I'm just hoping it's enough to come out with a win. |

I agree, in the predict the series thread I guessed that the Thunder would come out on fire and kill the Lakers, but that the Lakers will at least be in Game 2 at the end. If it is another Thunder double digit win, I won't be too optimistic about this series. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Either Perkins has to play hurt or not at all. Either way its not good for the Thunder. Having Perkins playing hurt is just a liability for them |

Perkins being hurt neutralizes the Thunders' key extra advantage--that they were all well rested and ready to go. Plus the Lakers had a day of rest in OKC yesterday.
There's no difference between winning by 30 or 1. If the Lakers win by a single point, they've got home court advantage in a 5-game series.
Go Lakers! |

We need to abuse Perkins a lot more and make them pay for playing him.
That being said, I don't really want it to be gametime. I'm afraid we may see the same thing again.
Of course, it just seemed like the Thunder were hot from the get-go. If Brown can make any adjustments to make the Thunder feel uncomfortable, we may be in this game. If we get this one, we have a chance. Otherwise it's summertime. _________________ 1,2,3 RING. |

Agreed somewhat, winning 4 out of the next 6 seems more appealing then winning 4 out of the next 5 with 2 home games.
But remember Lakers vs Spurs, they started off 2 - 0 we won both at home Fisher sank the .4 in game 5 and we won in game 6. _________________

Box and 1 with Kobe on Westbrook to start the game and play inside out with Bynum and Gasol and I think we slow down the game enough... Just gotta play with intensity and focus for 48 minutes |

I'd hate a loss but would really hate to see no effort. If we go down, go down swinging. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Seriously, the only way we could win is by slowing the pace down and making the game boring. Takes out the crowd and takes OKC out of their fast pace style |

Westbrook won't be hitting jumpers at the same rate, mwp will frustate Durant. Westbrook and Durant shoot 40% from the field. Lakers win. |
