It'll be interesting to see how Kobe comes out tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see him come out of the gate playing Kobe ball and trying to snap out of his April funk. Could really give the team a boost or it could cause the Lakers to struggle.

What if Kobe's ailments are severe enough that we won't see the dominant scorer we've come accustomed to watching? Is he willing to defer and become a playmaker and possibly let players like Gasol, Bynum, and Odom rack up the spotlight?

but the knicks suck though

Lakers by 10 points

Kobe - 40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists
Durant - 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks
Pau Gabeast - 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks

Are you shitting me?

BTW I expect Bynum to either play out his mind tonight or play like total shit. First game back you're mostly running on adrenaline. Wouldn't be surprised if he got in foul trouble or fatigue reared its ugly head.

[The Magic Man]

We're good tonight. I predict a fairly easy win. Durant wont do sh*t tonight. But when we get to OKC, I think we'll get ran in Game 3. Durant will go nuts. Then, back to bizz as usu-wale! Lakers in 5.

[LA_Showtime]

Yeah, I expect Durant will struggle again. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Westbrook hit for 30. Scotty Brooks should be telling him to drive the lane EVERY SINGLE TIME down the floor.

he high?

Hahahaha....already a win.

[OKC Adonis]

I thought the Thunder played horrible the first game.

I know the lakers didn't play their best either.

The question is, which one played worse compared to their normal level of play?

I am hoping that the Thunder has more room to improve and they can make this a good series.

If they lose tonight, its going to be a 5 game series. Win tonight and it will be a 6 or game series.

I was hoping we could make it at least to the 6th game.

Our time will be the next couple of years. This year is all about experience and improvement.

I wouldn't be surprised to see FIsh with a good 5 foulss before the end of the game.

[Babalu]

should be a good game. can't wait.
