Everyone was starting to say the Lakers could win as an 8 seed against OKC when Kobe was healthy. I couldn't disagree more. That has always been a bad matchup for the Lakers even in 2010 an inexperienced 8 seed Thunder team took 2 games from a 1 seed eventual champion Laker team. That was with no real low post defender, and Harden and Jeff Green playing like absolute horse **** the whole series. Speed bothered the Lakers then and even more so now. Plus, Sefalosha does a better job of containing Kobe than most. Best case scenario that would have taken OKC to 6..
