I don't see us losing this game unless we play like we did in Minnesota, no more pathetic defence.
Lakers 119

Lakers 122

I dont know why, But im scared to death of this game. Thunder have some long players that usually is an advantage for us against other teams with Pau and Lamar and Ariza. But youre talking bout Durant, Green, Westbrook and they play well at home but have given up games in the final minute or seconds. The Lakers better come out strong and take control early. |

If Durant shoots lights out they can stay in the game until the fourth. Otherwise they'll have a hard time hitting a hundred.

Thunder are going to be PUMPED. This is the Lakers first visit to OKC, so the crowd will be crazy.
Lakers better come with energy, or they will lose. Oklahoma will be giving 110% for this game.
If I was a betting man, I'd bet Oklahoma +8.5 , gonna be a close game.

The problem when we play teams like these is Kobe.. he sags off his man, gives him no respect and the scrubs he guards end up lighting us up. Unless Kobe takes these no-names defensive assignments seriously its gonna be that way... _________________ New Beginings |

Expect another nail-biter. This time I suspect it will be a come-from-behind victory. The inexperience of the thunder will bite them in the butts in the final minutes. |

If Kobe takes the "challenge" of facing Durant as an opportunity to try to show him up (which is very possible), and if he is not hitting his shots when he decides to do so, this could easily be a loss for us.
Durant has scored progressively more in each month this year, from 22.9 ppg in November up to 33.2 ppg this month, second only to LeBron's 33.6 (according to a SportsCenter graph I just saw). He's clearly in top form right now (scoring-wise) and if Kobe tries to out-duel him, we will likely live or die by his jumpers.
Otherwise, we should kill them. Come on, they're tied for the second worst record in the league, while we sit at the top. Oh wait a minute, there's also that other notorious Lakers flaw of playing down to the level of our competition... |

They played us tough in Staples, now we're at their home. Better bring our "A" defense out tonight. |

If Durant is stroking it, the game's gonna be a dogfight. Still, the Lakers prevail.

Hopefully they tighten the screws a bit tonight. Kobe and Gasol both need to play less minutes if possible. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |

We really need someone besides Kobe, Odom, and Gasol to step up. |
