Laker's vs Thunder Series Thread

thunder might sneak one game but bottom line their roster hs no post up threat and no 3 point shooting. its kind of difficult to win with that type of personnel. they need to keep making moves otherwise they'll end up like the bulls/blazers = overrate your young talent and not move into the elite.
 
Durant didn't shoot the thunder out of the game. The man averages 30 a game, has a jumper, can score from anywhere and drive. He's SUPPOSED to keep shooting because he's their best scorer.

What it was was good defense and hustle by LA. La would WANT durant to start being passive and deferring to Westbrook.

You guys look at FGA and can't watch a game and see what's going on. Those shots WILL fall eventually, or LA will smother him.

How about we go back to the playoffs a few seasons ago where lebron shot something like 35% for damn near an entire series vs the celtics. Could he win the scoring title whenever he wanted to then? According to your logic no.

If durant let's up he'll give to series to LA easily.

Blazers are plagued will injuries. They are still a good team if oden/pryzbilla/Roy are in the lineup. if they keep marcus camby and stay healthy, they will be a big headache for most teams in the west.
 
Kobe and Durant both had bad shooting days but Kobe has a superior team so the Lakers will win that every time

Durant has to play better and the Thunders main focus needs to be to get a low post threat

Good players will look to get others involved if your shot is not falling, eventually it opens up scoring opportunities for you, since the defense will be locked in on other players. You don't keep shooting hoping that you'll find your shot :smh:, this only leads you to shooting your team out of the game.

So Lebron never complains on defense when he thinks a bad call was made? Never? Ever?

Every good player in the league complains to the officials. Its just not the Lakers.

James do complain, but he usually complains after a hard foul, not just to be politician so he can fuck with the refs head so that he can get away with a foul on the other end.
As opposed to most other teams, I actually think that Phil Jackson instructs his Laker players to always bitch and grown so that they can get away with cheap fouls the other way, and make it seem like both teams are getting away with playing dirty.
Even when I was a Laker fan, I could see what the fuck was going on, so don't play dumb and act like your blind.

guess this post explodes another of your stupid conclusions.

guess nobody saw the triple post O at work tonight?

guess nobody witnessed the fakers win while tobe had < 20 FGAs either.

just more ignorant fakers fans regurgitating shit they hear on talk radio to hide their lack of basketball knowledge.

dumbest faker fan shit i've heard so far: kevin durant's poor shooting night was a result of ron artest's "tough" defense. but tobe's poor shooting night was a result of ___________?

:lol:

you're going to take a beating from a lot of BGOL fam.

you have to understand that a lot of them are couch potato fans, or misinterpreted something they once heard on broadcast coverage of a basketball game (or a combination of the above).

at some point someone once told them something that sounds like this: "shooters continue to shoot" or "shooters shoot themselves out of a slump".

fans and players with poor basketball IQ interpret statements of these kinds to incorrectly mean that eventually a player's shot will continue to fall if that player simply keeps taking more shots.

individuals with high basketball IQ understand that the advice is intended to instruct and encourage players to continue shooting when they have good looks.

To start. Your assumption is that if Kobe took 1 more shot the game is lost

2. Let's not act like his shooting percentage to finish the season hasn't been bad due to his injuries.

So give it up. It's not comparable to a healthy Kevin durant being hassled into tough shots.

For Kobe it's his timing and injuries. But carry on.

It's a given he should continue shooting when he has good looks. But he should continue to stay aggressive. The thunder are best served when durant is scoring or looking to score.

How about this shit

the thunder are 1-9 when he scores less than 25. He scored 24. According to your logic on more point would have given them a better chance to win, no?
 
Re: Thunder Series Thread

Thing that worries me on the Laker end is Ron Ron's shot lust from the three point line. Dude think he is Kyle Korver out there.

He's wide open so he has to shoot. Nobody around him open.

He can't jump anymore so thats all he really has left. All Bruce Bowen did was play defense then later on in his career he developed a three point shot. I can see Ron being that type of player for the next three years.

red herrings now? when did this become about injuries?

oh that's right. playing with an avulsion fracture mysteriously became a broken bone hoax last season and those performances were heroic, but this season's malady is hampering tobe.

got it.

but since you're making excuses for tobe's poor shooting performances of late, i will point out again that smart and talented players who are experiencing mechanical difficulties (as you allege) with their stroke can find other ways to contribute beyond increasing the number of (poorly delivered) shots they attempt.

i should've expected something like this from chemist.

bruce bowen had 3 pt range since he played at CSUF. he entered the league able to knock down shots from distance. it was only once his ROLE was changed that he became a weapon. the ability was always there, but unused.

do you already have an opponent penciled in for the next round?

i'm not sold on these supersonics being a legit contender, even with a former 76er PG as a head coach.

Not going to count them out. Laker team chemistry is real bad right now, and all it will take is an injury, and we will see Darth Kobe. That wouldn't be too bad if this was 3-4 years ago, but that era is done for him.

I just hope they win game 2, and eek out a victory in 3. Then maybe the Thunder will fold. But if they win 1 at staples, I could see this going 6-7 games.

I don't care who they get in the second round. If they play right, and are healthy, neither of those teams can win a 7 game series with the Lake show

:hmm:

If the Nuggets play right, the Lakers will not be able to win a 7 game series with them. You better hope you get the 2009 Game 6 Nuggets or else :itsawrap:
 
LA is in trouble. For this to be a first seed vs eight seed, the win did not look strong.

A young green team on the road and hanging with the champs all the way to the end.

LA got a long road back to the championship. Bymun is the bright spot.

very close in several categories yes. not as close in a couple areas that are typically more scrutinized for PGs in particular.

but that just points out how fickle (and uneducatd) most fakers fans are about basketball.

they scapegoated william parker out of town and then heralded derek fisher as a tremendous upgrade.

since then, they've been scapegoating derek fisher.

the cycle never ends.

:lol:

before boston won their championship a few years ago, every team they played in the east took them to 7. final outcome, champions.

this LA team is not the same mentally. They coasted thru the regular season, had their schedule been a little different, they could have finished as the 4th seed.

Oklahoma is not some 40 win, 8th seed. they won 50 games. They have an all star, scoring champ. and good players around him. Dont expect them to get blown out every game. Durant is on the rise.

A win is a win. Doesn't matter how good or bad you looked in the win.
