I have a thread ready for those clowns. They'd be smart to avoid this site for a while if the Lakers lose.

That's like saying the Thunder should be up 4-0. You can't give yourself credit for the close games you win AND the close games you lose.

I never said anything about credit towards the Lakers. Thunder were closing in no matter what but the Lakers fukked up with those TOs. If they would of secured the ball more and played a little better D it would probably be a different story.

Get out of here with that legit win garbage. We beat them and lost the two other games. We were the better team for 3 straight games. It's just like how Dallas was better for 3 straight and still found a way to lose. We'll pull it together. Westbrook shooting lights out is the only reason that game was close. If Gasol has any semblance of pride, we will win game 5 and that's that. Hopefully these frontrunning clowns stay gone too. That's the only good thing about this series, it shows who the cowards are.

That's hardly the only reason the Lakers lost.

Kobe doing too much is what even gave the Thunder a chance of coming back.

Pau's turnover was just inexcusable. It wasn't THE reason the Lakers lost but it was by far the biggest mistake of those final minutes.

Like said last night, Kobe shot the Lakers out of the game, but Pau killed them.

What are you talking about? If Westbrook isn't lights out then Kobe isn't coming back into the game with a lead that isn't at least 16. The fact is that Kobe sat on the bench for the first 4 minutes of the quarter and Bynum didn't get the ball. Kobe came in and he still didn't get it. No one could get him the ball. Kobe was being given the ball with 8 seconds left to make something happen and with no ball movement. He had no driving lanes or anything with OKC's defense and Durant's wingspan. The two times he drove he got fouled with no call. Even Loose admitted that. The only ill advised shot was the first jumper over KD. But other than that, no one was moving. Pau was not putting himself in a position to get open and Bynum was being fronted.

Gasol's mistake was the worst and Kobe had some bad plays, but if Pau was being aggressive then Kobe isn't shooting in the first place. The Lakers would waste 12 seconds just trying to find Bynum and then revert to handing it to Kobe.

When Kobe was sitting the bench the Lakers were moving the ball more and at least scored on a few occasions. Once Kobe came into the game the ball stopped moving and nobody else was moving without the ball. There were a couple of bailout shots by Kobe but most of that shyt was Kobe going ISO with Durant guarding him and Kobe not taking Durant's length seriously.

I already said Gasol's mistake was the worst. I had complained the previous game about Gasol causing turnovers with those extra unneeded passes (and it was a lazy one at that). Pau wasn't being aggressive but Bynum was, if the Lakers had moved the ball around more they could have gotten it to Bynum and at the very least he could have drawn some fouls.

Are you serious? When Kobe sat down, Bynum got one attempt. :rudy: ONE. The ball movement you're talking about was just guys tossing it around the perimeter and throwing up prayers. You want Metta World Threes to be your go to offense? Kobe couldn't drive and dish. He had no space to. Like when he shot that 3. There was nowhere else to go. And that was a weak ass screen by Gasol. That Kobe 3 was the most open shot you were going to get. Kobe took like two ignorant shots, but other than that, we had nothing going and Gasol wasn't making himself a target despite the fact that they were cheating off of him. He has not made Ibaka respect him the way Dirk did.

No, he gets no love for being a "Heat fan." At least we all know the Lakers are your favorite team :smugfavre:
