Wow Lakers playing fantastic defense right there

Gotta love Flea in the courtside seats wearing a Juju Watkins t-shirt.

Oh hell no, Lakers be a tough out for the Thunder, they are big. Ugly game so far.

Ugly if you're a Thunder fan because down 9 at the half...great defensive game from the Lakers holding a high scoring team to 43 in the half, imposing their will, using home court, this is exactly the kind of playoff matchup that exemplifies better young talent versus less good experienced talent.

Not ugly, gritty and defense-y. 90s kind of defense, not the usual inflated score. Lakers only with 52.

It’s the second night of a back to back, though the Thunder generally excel in back to backs. Still a winnable game, just have to have the shots that normally go down go down.

We'll see if the Lakers D can keep this up, and those out. Not gonna be easy 9 points is nothing in this league

Spo and Kerr named Coaches of the Month (lol I know) but still, yeah that tracks

Well the Lakers are 17th in defense, like I said got to get some shots to fall.

 

[thunderc]

All you can do in games like this is try to hang around until shots start falling. Sometimes they don’t.

Thunder are the complete antithesis to the Clippers when it comes to closing the game.

They just keep coming .

But the Lakers D is preventing them from even shooting, forcing a ton of turnovers. Really impressive performance by the Lakers defense tonight and that's just a fact

I'm extremely entertained, great game

Yeah it’s not happening tonight

 

[msgkings322]

I was wrong about the number or turnovers much lower than I thought. But they are definitely keeping the lid on this game

Playoffs are a game of Matchups.

Lakers are a bad matchup for the Thunder.

Denver a bad matchup for the Lakers.

I’m still not sure what to make of the Wolves.

Clippers would win a chip if games were only 3 quarters.

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah it’s not happening tonight

I mean, be a fan and all but at this point I'm so much more just a fan of seeing great players go at it, or emerging ones, the results don't matter as much, I'm watching guys do stuff like I remember watching the guys do in the 90s and 00s

Easy for me to say after seeing my team win a few titles but still, gotta love an NBA game like this. We will look back on the LeBron era and the early OKC era with nostalgia

@Mecca where @DJ at?

Seems like a good time for him to hang with the Lakers on national TV

I enjoy virtually every game the Clippers aren’t playing in.

But, agree.

Good game.

I don’t recall him posting much during games.

Probably doesn’t want to jinx it.

 

[msgkings322]

Right there @thunderc

They stay all over SGA and force him to give it up with no time on the clock, no shot and quarter ends. Not about shots not falling.
