Great win tonight. Should give us confidence if/when we have to play them in the playoffs. Hopefully KD has now gotten the whole 'Artest monkey' off his back. Bring on the playoffs.

Talk about a confidence booster heading into the playoffs.

I know its still kinda a longshot, but how sweet would it be if OKC somehow got the 2 seed

Not the prettiest win, but I'll take it. Lot of playoff seeds are going to be determined with the last games of the season.

Thabo gets the game ball. He basically hit the game winning shot and forced kobe to turn it over 3 straight times.

Thabo haters can suck it.

2nd half interior defense deserves some credit as well. They held Bynum and Gasol to a combined 10 or 12 points. Especially after giving up 200 or so in the first half.

Kobe is a great match-up for Thabo. He can really bother him with his length and doesn't give up a quickness advantage.

Thabo is good for Wade and Kobe.

Which is good. But Harden is also good at Kobe.

Really, everyone played well except Maynor gave up a few open threes on unnecessary over-helps.

Laker's truely didn't lay down for us,I think they played the best they possibly can and we won the game, first laker loss leading in the 4th in there building! We just need to keep getting better, as we had to play very well to beat them. I like what I saw though. I thought the bigs neutralized bynum pretty well.

Thabos is nearly useless if were playing a team like Denver or Portland though

I tend to agree. I do wish we had a coach that was flexible enough with rotations to play Thabo where he is appropriate. Of course, this isn't really a criticism of Scott Brooks even, no coach is going to say, start someone vs one team and not play him at all vs another.

Either the best or 2nd best (after the road Miami win) game of the season. Even when Russ went 1-10 after the 2nd quarter, I don't feel like anyone on the Thunder had a bad game overall.
