Lakers Starting Lineup:
PG-Steve Nash
SG-Kobe Bryant
SF-Metta World Peace
PF-Earl Clark
C-Robert Sacre


Thunder Starting Lineup:
PG-Russell Westbrook
SG-Thabo Sefolosha
SF-Kevin Durant
PF-Serge Ibaka
C-Kendrick Perkins


With Bryant averaging 30.1 points and Durant 28.1, it's not surprising that these teams are among the best in scoring with Oklahoma City averaging 105.4 and Los Angeles 103.2.

The Thunder figure to have an edge defensively in the paint with Howard and his 2.6 blocks per game out. Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka is the only West player with a better average of 2.9 blocks.

Westbrook has averaged 21.8 points and 8.2 assists in his last six meetings with Nash -- all wins for Oklahoma City -- with the former Phoenix guard averaging 10.5 points and 9.2 assists in those defeats.

NO ONE can lock him up. Not even LeBron. Let's just hope we can CONTAIN him. But I'm more worried about Westbrook.

Morris hopefully does a half decent job on Westbrook.

With the way Westbrook is playing, I wouldn't be surprised Scott Brooks would ask Westbrook to attack Morris early game and make 2 quick fouls on Morris.

If I see Russel Westbrick act like a spoiled prick at any point during this game I'm going to be hot and wish for a Ron Artest elbow to the cranium!

He acts like such a spoiled **** sometimes! Dude needs to win something before spouting off the way he does. Such a classless bitch!!!

I think this could be a big statement game for a Lakers turnaround. Their play has gotten better and better. It's a matter of not having a deficit early on.

I must say..the expectations for a win...if you can't beat the rockets, spurs, nuggets, or the 76ers...how do you expect to beat OKC?

Going to need Kobe to be efficient....on 40+ points...and guard Westbrook on the ball when Darius is out. Tough to ask.

Nash needs to take the open shots...20 points 10 assists

Earl Clark....15 and 10 would be great....

Metta needs to be hot....

That's the problem...aside from these four we really can't expect too much from the rest...and asking Clark for a 15 and 10 game is kind of so-so especially going against Ibaka and sons.

What I like is that when the big men do get back we should be able to get Earl Clark in there for some quality minutes...so we'll have a quality role player by the time Gasol and Dwight get back. In a way this team has gotten deeper with Earl Clark getting some minutes and that is the silver lining thus far in this tough 10 game stretch.
