2012 NBA Playoffs - (2) Thunder vs. (7) Mavs - (2-0 OKC)

I really don't see why so many people have confidence in LAL against OKC. OKC was built to play the Lakers.

Nothing is impossible, but I'd be really shocked if the Lakers beat the Thunder.

Put it to this, if the Lakers can control westbrook, then they win!
Durant can score 30 every game, but if Westbrook doesn't get his the Thunder lose. I don't see the Thunder getting through LAL or SAS in the playoffs.

Westbrook is the key. When he goes, the Thunder goes.

I think that "Unbiased fan" guy is a troll account although he'll deny it.

don't worry, I took the bait too.

Oh I'm not referring to AUF at all, I've seen him post. I was referring to all the other people who replied to my post.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. When I read bullet points about the Thunder not having the size to match up with the Lakers, my eyes just start to roll back into my head.

"Hello, the entire construction of our roster is based off matching up with the Laker's front court"

That's a compliment, non-troll lakeshow fans. You're like our big brother who is a whole lot wimpier than us now.

The same thing can be said the other way. Lakers are the perfect fit to beat an athletic electric team like the Thunder, slowing the game; making it half-court oriented; abusing in the paint; out-rebounding; forcing OKC to settle for jumpers mostly.

It would be decided by who imposes their tempo for the most part of the games. If the game is up-tempo, it would go the Thunder way. If the game is slowed, OKC stand no chance against the Lakers.

If Westbrook knows better to drive more to the hoop when his jumper isn't falling, the Thunder are tough tough, but....

Dude, you've lost like a billion in row against us except for a miracle comeback at home that depended on Harden getting elbowed into a concussion.
