Oklahoma Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers: Game 4

Post #1 » by **wizkid27** » Sun May 20, 2012 2:27 am

Time for revenge! Need to put Artest back where he belongs. Hopefully this one isn't a battle of foul calls and free throws...

Rocky start. Score is close enough, just feel like we're out of sorts... Losing guys on D. A lot of jump shots from Serge and Perk to start...

People talk a lot about superstar favoritism on foul calls after watching Kobe... At this point KD is a bigger star and gets far less calls. Killing me...

Lakers has to go to their bench at some point and they should be more tired than us. Should make full use of bench + 3rd quarter onwards. Push the ball + pressure on defence for the first half.

Need to limit bynum more.

The Thunder's lack of size at the PF and C and lack of inside game has been exposed. As good at defense Perkins and Ibaka are, they're not very good rebounders and it's not a good thing when your SF is the leading rebounder on the team.

Right after you posted that, Perkins actually decided to step up and start really pulling down some boards.

Team really needs to put the calls behind them and stop the complaining. Be the more talented team and win the freaking game...

Yes!!! Wow... If we win that, I just don't see how we lose an equal game where we decide to play hard instead of looking to the refs to start watching the game.

Really hard to beat 2 7 ft in the rebounding game.

Durant is not really the normal SF height though would have liked the rebounding numbers to be closer. Could not let them get offensive rebound that easily.

Lakers really ride their starters heavy minutes. That guy was really good from 3 point today.

Wow what a win

Durant does it again!!!!

Good win for the Thunder. I really thought those foul shots Durant missed down the stretch was going to haunt the Thunder and it almost did. I'll work on a game recap from the Laker board later tonight!

Post #11 » by **wizkid27** » Sun May 20, 2012 5:21 am

Yeah, on those 2 FT misses Durant really looked frustrated. Not sure if that was just affected by the tough D, calls, etc.

Post #12 » by **slick_watts** » Sun May 20, 2012 5:23 am

durant + westbrook had a ridiculous 4th quarter. one for the ages. westbrook's 9 straight points... durant's three. wow.

I agree, but the problem with OKC when it comes to Ibaka and Perkins is that Ibaka averaged 7.5 rebounds and Perkins averaged 6.6 rebounds. Meanwhile Durant averaged 8.0 rebounds. There are guys at 6'10" like Ibaka and Perkins or shorter who have averaged way more rebounds than what they're putting up. What I'm saying is that Perkins and Ibaka are not really good rebounders for their size, especially the position they play.

And I don't know how the Thunder have gotten away with it so far, but they really don't have an inside scoring threat as well; but they do. Props for that and I hope they can at least keep that up long enough to beat the Lakers.

This might be the most impressive win in Thunder history!

We didn't play very good, and we could never get the score close, but the guys just kept fighting and fighting. We never got down on ourselves, we kept our composure and finally made a great run to end the game.

This team continues to amaze me.

I don't know about the part that I bolded... It seemed like a lot of guys were getting frustrated, hanging their heads, pushing, staring at refs, etc. Not saying none of it was justified, but I was kind of surprised to see them pull it back together and get the win.

Westbrook with 37, 15-26 was most impressive to me
