The drama is always part of been a Lakers fan. They've been doing this for years.

"closeout games are actually kind of easy...teams tend to fold if you come out and play hard in the beginning." - A. Bynum

True...but you went on to lose Game 5 at home.

 

[ARon]

He played like he thought it was easy that's for sure. How you gonna let mcgee get you like that, smh.

On the plus side, tickets for game 6 are wrapped up, ahhhh yeah!

 

[roaches]

They tanked so they have MWP against Kevin Durant from the start of Round 2. Duh.

 

[Kobe]

EDIT: They tanked Game 6 too!​

 

[Kobe]

He may not have the rings but he sure is racking up the MVP awards.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Phew! That was a close one.. Too bad the Thunder are a much better team than Nuggets which means the next series should be very short.

LeBron getting another MVP .. guh... I say if he doesn't MVP himself in the Finals they should stop giving him these things until he has a ring.

 

[ARon]

If the Lakers can keep to their game, slow the pace and bang up inside they have a chance, it's gong to be tough that's for sure. I hope to god Steve Blake and the rest of the team show up like they did today

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I hope for close, and I won't be upset by winning it.. But I just don't see it happening. Not this year.

Spurs, Miami, Boston will go on aswell.

 

[S O F I]

I have a hundred dollars on OKC taking this series. I like how that's looking so far.

 

[ARon]

You knew a game or two would be blowouts, not too big of a surprise. OKC is shooting lights out. I mean, it could happen every game but I doubt it will. LA is doing good inside, in the first half at least, they kind of got away from it in the second but the game was beyond reach by then. This just might go 7

 

[S O F I]

i hate blowouts like this because the mentality changes and once the same shots stop falling in next game, most teams can't get past that mental barrier. with that said, the announcers are overhyping the lakers bigs. pau is soft. always will be. bynum is not shaq. i don't even know the names of the other guys.

 

[Kobe]

Wh...wh..what happened? I expected the Lakers out in round two but, that was a humiliation, and a massive massive game 1 loss.

 

[roaches]

How does Dwyane Wade blow that layup?

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Before I was sort of neutral to Wade, thought maybe he was a closet douche, but that little tantrum confirmed it. Dick.

Lakers Game 1 was sad.

Lakers Game 2 was disappointing.. Soooo close. They better show some fight for the rest of the series and figure it out.

OKC to take the series is not an unsafe bet, it never was (this year).

 

[S O F I]

i love the ease with which durant throws up clutch shots. no hesitation.

 

[Kobe]

Damn ​

 

[roaches]

That dude's at every Sixers game. Every time I see him, I stick a finger down my throat and start doing pushups.

 

[Kobe]

Before I was sort of neutral to Wade, thought maybe he was a closet douche, but that little tantrum confirmed it. Dick.

lol!

Lakers lose just 1 out of the next two and its over. Let go home!

 

[roaches]

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE BRON BLEW IT. https://twitter.com/#!/ESPNStatsInfo/status/203306585496358912
