Good luck Thunder fans. OKC is the only team I wouldn't absolutely hate if they upset us. Aside from Duncan and Nash, Durant is the player I have the most amount of respect for. You just can't not like the guy! Looking forward to an awesome and exciting series.

Hey people, Magic fan here.

I honestly think you guys have a great chance at upsetting the Lakers, and I'd love to see a young team as yours getting deep into the playoffs. I'm sure we will will meet sometime soon in the Finals.

Good luck with everything! :)

It will all come down to Durant. If Durant gets hot, Kobe will feel the need to get in a one-on-one match up and the Lakers will lose....well that is if the refs decide to call it fair.

Let's go OKC...win the title

You're either a LAL hater or you're foolish, or all of the above.

Congrats Thunder you deserve these wins, you are outplaying us clearly.

I have a feeling the Lakers are going to come out tomorrow night and put it to us. They are going to play great ball tomorrow, we will see if the Thunder can play with them.

I actually feel good about tonight. Confidence should not be an issue and there are a few matchups that are in our favor. Usual suspects WB and KD should have big games but if we want to steal a game in Los Angeles we need guys off the bench (Harden, Ibaka and Collison) to have good games as well. Bench production is key, especially against a team with poor bench play.

The Thunder have a good road record and although the Lakers are dominant at home with a 34-7 record, they've been far from impressive in a lot of those games. It's not impossible to get a win.
