What more is there to say?

If the Thunder want any hope of winning this series, this game is a must win. We can't win four out of six games against the Lakers, should we lose.

I have a feeling the Lakers will storm out of the gates much like the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers did last night in their home games. If we weather the storm early and keep it close we'll give ourselves a chance to win.

I expect big things from Westbrook. He'll definitely be the x-factor if he is able to dominate Fisher and force Kobe/Artest to guard him.

Attack Bynum

Etan, you have 6 fouls, use them
make the man earn every point

As i said.. the Thunder has too much weakness to threat the Lakers. Lakers will have a blowout win tonight.

You guys looked shell shocked to start the game, but you've settled down. Hopefully you keep running, because those half-court sets haven't looked good at all.

I like what I see from Jeff Green effort wise, despite giving up a ton size.

It didn't take the Lakers long to figure out the way to beat us is get our defense reversing.

Wetbrook was just awful in both side of the floor.

Westbrook is overrated. Thunder needs a new starter PG, C and a defender. Ibaka is good.

They had the chance to take the best point guard of the world in a near future with Ricky Rubio.

Ibaka / Collison once again looking much better than any lineup with Green at PF.

Yo good luck Thunder, you're my favorites out West so I'll be rooting for you!

I hate Jeff Green. There, I said it. The guy just doesn't do anything.

Kristic is so soft

I might get flamed for this but Ill say it, KD is soft. When's the last time you saw him diving for a lose ball, or fighting for a rebound and keep it, and not give it up?

Seriously, I always hear negative things from you. Think about it.
