WOW.

What a shot by Westbrook

holy shit LMAO..what a ****ing shot by Westbrook

wow

What an and-1 for Westbrook! Damn!

Travel in the NBA is called as much as holding is called against Clady.

LOL, he bounced off of Bynum like a pinball.

Westbrook is on fire!

WESTBROOK again

Wow.

Sessions needs to give it up.

Welcome to "The Zone." Population - 1. Name - Westbrook.

wow ... kobe knows how to draw fouls lol

he's got it down

He's a great basketball player. I'll defend his game any time.

Damn, 4 points lost by tenths of a second.

Kobe has finally shown up in this series...it just may not be enough at this point. Should be a good 4th.

Player-yes.



As a human being- no.

Yet another example of how he's treated differently out there because of who he is, that's for sure.

So is Kobe, yet he doesn't get shit for it.

Michael Jordan, etc.



The better they are, the more they get away with. I don't expect pro athletes to be saints, but Artest has a history of being a POS on the court.

AHHH YEAHHH!

Instant offense. Just add Durant.

lol at Mike Brown leaving Kobe on the bench and the Lakers going down double digits. So getting fired.

It's amazing the difference a great HC makes.



As soon as they hired Brown, I knew they were sunk.

Pssht. Phil Jackson just rode the coattails of great players! That's all it was... right.

Pitt Gorilla, what's going on with Dexter McCluster? oh, they are so funny ...

i'm not looking for an answer - things are going to work out for the chiefs


OMG Durant for MVP!

Durantula

Lakers be in trouble.

Any chance of a Portland-style 4th quarter implosion?

Doug Collins farts in Phil's general direction.

recap: don't let kobe sit

Artest has traveled about 27 times the last two possessions.

It's the NBA.


Patrick Ewing says "Hi".

Durant is smooth as butter.

OKC +10 on the glass? Gasol/Bynum (especially Bynum) should be ashamed, but it's not the first time in these playoffs that could be said. 'Course, how excited are you to play when your "leader" is busy throwing you under the bus.

The Lakers look done, Kobe's not hitting his shots anymore.

I don't see why we have to wait 6 days for the Spurs/OKC series to start. It should start like on Thursday or Friday.

That was sweet.


Nice work Kobe.

bench scoring : Lakers 3, OKC 32

KevenB, I would just like to add to that - it's not the most robust environment. http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com...lies/crazy.gif

Kobe is doing it all

ROFL


Gasol after the goal tending,"**** Me."

Awesome.

Westbrook is literally not conscious out there. He is like a shot making robot.

Westbrook is the MVP of this series. The Lakers PG's have been dominated again. At least they don't have Fisher to blame this time

Spurs/OKC should be a hell of a lot of fun to watch. I can't wait.

This.


I want to see how the Spurs handle length and young athletes.

When he's hitting that 17 footer coming off a pick and roll, he's almost unguardable.

I think Kobe and Gasol were having words on the court ... I could be wrong, but Kobe looked pissed.

Haha, now Kobe throws it in to Bynum

Warm up the bus. Kobe is going to have to drive that sucker over everyone here in about 30 min.

Kobe is good at pointing fingers.

that is the most effort I have seen Gasol give all series

Welp, that's that. But if anybody was going to beat my Lakers, I'm glad it was the Thunder.

Only Kobe and Metta came to fight today. The rest of the Lakers didn't show up at all. I think that will be the end of Gasol on this team.

That's it, rub it in a little more for the Sonics fans.

Got to give Ron Ron credit; he motivated the hell out of the Thunder and their fans.

if I could ask about OKC, can you tell me if they are the youngest team in the playoffs? tia

Classy job by the Lakers after the game, especially Kobe. You know he's absolutely burning inside, but spoke to the Thunder players and coaches afterward.

I'm only a passive fan of the NBA but any day the Lakers are done before winning a title is a good day. If I have a team at all it's OKC. Go Thunder!!!

It should be. he hasn't done shit in 2 years. Too soft of a player IMO

Like basic good sportsmanship requires.

He's the only Laker this whole series who has consistently played worth a damn.

Bynum had off and on moments and Gasol turned into the pussy he was before he came to LA.

Yeah they are. The way the team was built and the talent they have, if they stay together, I could see them winning multiple championships.

Thanks, -King-

I'm so happy for them.

Congrats to OKC and their fans.

Of course, but you don't always see it.

They can't keep everybody. It will be interesting to see if Harden is willing to stay and whether they keep Ibaka or Perkins (assuming Harden stays).

Harden is fun to watch on this team, but would also be interesting to see him with his own team playing 38 minutes a night.

Very much truth.

He did win them a championship two years ago. Doesn't seem to have the same fight anymore, though.

I don't question Kobe's effort ever, but he did essentially choke away two entire games this series.

No kidding.

Pau can't even set a screen anymore. He has to go immediately.

Can't argue that.

I heard the other day OKC is willing to pay the Luxury tax to keep the team together

I know. Since then he hasn't been the same player when it counts.

I think they will try to keep Harden and Ibaka for sure. Perk shouldn't command a huge deal, so they should be able to keep him as well. Time will tell, though.

I think you go back to Houston if you're the Lakers. Lowry is probably a possibility now the way Dragic played down the stretch. Add Lowry and Scola for Gasol and your starters are better overall and your bench improves with Sessions now the PG off the bench.

Why did the lakers think that Sessions or Blake could guard Westbrook? That's absurd.

They'll absolutely try to keep Harden, but he may decide he doesn't want to come off the bench and be the 3rd guy on a team anymore. So it's more about his decision than OKC management.

Why would Houston trade Scola for Gasol?

Congrats to the Lakers on a great season. Thunder vs. Spurs should be epic.

They were willing to do it a few months ago, and I don't think things have changed that much. I'm guessing Houston still believes Gasol is the low post scorer they need and was misused this season.

Artest very gracious in defeat
