Thunders vs Lakers

Thunders vs Lakers

This is a very interesting matchup where Kobe goes up against Durant. Two of the best offensive teams in the NBA. I can see the Lakers has the advantage down low but Thunders has the edge in the open court.

Prediction: Thunders will win in Game 7.

Yeah this is a good series. I think the Lakers will win Game 1 because the Thunder have been sitting on their asses for a while. My prediction is Thunder in 5, winning 4 straight after loosing the first one.

I think the Lakers will take it if they can have production from Gasol and Bynum. Also world peace will also need to execute on the defensive end. Bryant is always clutch and I feel they just have more weapons. Should be a tough series though and I expect it to go to a game 7.

Though I'm predicting OKC will win it in 7 games but if Metta can shut down Durant then no doubt the Lakers will make an upset. Expect a physical game from down low as Perkins will take on Bynum.

So the Lakers went through. I know the series was 3-3 but I missed the final game. I wasn't very impressed with the Lakers in the series against the Denver Nuggets. They won eventually but there is something not quite right with the dynamics of the team, and Kobe is way past his best.

Have you seen the Thunders dismantled the Lakers easily? Lakers looks so slow against the Thunders. Even Kobe can't matched Westbrook's agility. Thunders looks to win it easily...

I was really happy to see the Thunder take the first game! I think this is the year where the Lakers get out really early. The Thunder are a really fun team to watch and even more fun when they go against the Lakers. I can't wait to see the upcoming games.

Exactly what I was saying, the LA Lakers are not very good. The Thunders deserve to be 2-0 up and I wouldn't be surprised if they win the series 4-0. The Lakers need to improve considerably if they want to the series, they have been second best in every department so far...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers got swept as well. They should have sealed the deal in game 2 and at least it was competitive, but they don't seem to have the energy to match the fast paced tempo of the Thunder. The Thunder have a real shot of winning a championship this year if they can get past the Spurs.

I agree, the Thunders have a great chance of winning. Their energetic and athletic team will be a match for anyone. The Lakers needs to appraise their season honestly, this is not a great Lakers team and they need to make changes if they want to be the best once again.
