After the Thunder embarrassed the Lakers back in March, Phil said Durant was "ok". Also he told the guy from rolling stone that said Durant could be compared to Kobe that he was "in over his head". He doesn't believe Durant is a superstar and that he doesn't deserve to be 1st team all NBA, which he's going to be.
Phil really doesn't like Durant for some reason.
Phil is just smokin that Cali Bud...He f*cks with Durant...He knows Durant is a beast...
The Lakers will either come out on fire or they'll play like complete shit in the first quarter. They have the advantage inside, but I'm sure that Kobe will want to shake off the rust so if he's not hitting the Lakers might find themselves in a hole. Should be a fun game.

Also the Thunder have 0 chance at winning game 1. They're going to be caught up in the spot light and I think Durant will press a bit with his first playoff game against the defending champs. The game they have a chance to steal is game 2.
Just mind games, don't take anything Phil says too seriously. There is no reason to dislike Durant except for the fact that he's our opponent, so if there's something going around like a fact that this 21 y/o kid shot 300 more free throws than Lebron, the zen master's gonna use that to get in his head.
Kobe was out shooting before anyone.. DUN DUN DUN!
I don't think the Thunder will win the series, but I think they will win more games than people think. Not because their team is talented, but because KD really is starting to become West LeBron.
I'll be pulling for the Thunder in this series, too.
I think the Thunder can realistically steal one in LA and win one home game. That's it. This game might be the one they can steal.

scheuled @ 3pm Eastern time, so less than 25 mins. If Kobe has a less than mediocre shooting night, do the Lakers win still? Or even if Kobe does good, can Durant be held down in his first play off game? I'm leaning towards a Laker victory by less than 7.
