Harden = Lakers MVP. So many stupid fouls. He needs to stop hacking.

Would be true if half of his were actual fouls. And not "HEY YOU BREATHED ON KOBE THERE, GO SHOOT 2 KOB!"

 

[linsivvi]

NO SWEEP!

NO SWEEP!

NO SWEEP!

WE ALREADY WON.

<high five Lakers-Age>

Yep.

Better than the Mavericks.

Season redeemed.

 

[KingGondo]

Laker haters all up in this bitch.

They are called fuckin' FThunder for a reason.

Because they shoot 14 fewer FTs than their opponents?

Good point.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Lakers are gonna get murdered tomorrow.

 

[NomarTyme]

Bynum legs should be fresh doing all that jogging down the floor.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

You just got sonned and don't even know it.

 

[Radec]

Dallas got swept =3

Still got ring though.

 

[Cloudy]

Steve Blake saved this game IMO. We were dead in the water till he hit that 3 and then the 2 after

 

[Shadow780]

Fisher probably gave Lakers 10+ pts with his lolups and fouls, once a Laker, always a Laker.

 

[aznpxdd]

Because they shoot 14 fewer FTs than their opponents?

Good point.

Yeah, let's judge everything off this one game. C'mon son.

 

[brianjones]

Lakers are gonna get murdered tomorrow.

probably

back to back is a thunder advantage

 

[ViewtifulJC]

LOL. Lakers fans probably think they earned this win...

What an amazing performance by Kobe. More than 50% of his points from the line. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Clutch my nuts.

It's cute how Lakers-age has hope now.

"You're welcome."

shut the FUCK up. Kobe had 50% of his points from the line. if you're calling that clutch...just...ugh

Joey Crawford, y'all...

what a crooked fucking game lmao

kobe v bad player, gets bailed out tremendously

pulls harden into himself, gets fts

fuck out of here

gonna be interesting to see what the old men do tmrw

 

[Mxrz]

Tim Duncan is somewhere in LA smiling his ass off. Crawford just made a T in the ref room and has no idea why.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Still got a ring though.

.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

If lakers would have kept there composure in the game 2, we would have been up 2-1. Sigh.

There's no guarantee this would be a win if game 2 was pulled out.

 

[Pkaz01]

?



OKC isn't that bad in crunch time, they didn't really make many mistakes down the stretch. The main mistake they made was still playing Fisher.

They let kobe take three shots to win the game and made a dumb foul on the last one. Durant gave it up to ibaka for a fade away jumper, Durant took a pretty crappy shot and ibaka puts it back up with 2 seconds to go instead of giving it to westbrook who was open and calling for it. And thats just the last minute and a half i watched.

 

[The Chosen One]

Lakers out-FTHundered the Thunder.

Regardless if all those calls were legit or not, the Lakers WERE clutch hitting those free-throws. If Lakers just missed a single free throw in the last two minutes, they likely lose the game. Just ask Lebron how hard it is to hit free throws in those situations.

 

[Forceatowulf]

hahaha@ the people saying freethrows aren't clutch. Amazing.

If he had missed even ONE you'd be in here screaming about how much of a choke artist he is. You fucking people...

 

[SunhiLegend]

You can't be serious.

Well, in terms of drama and entertainment I would say I was pretty entertained.

 

[Remyzero]

Yup we got more foul calls. We don't live and die by the jump shots and illegal screens

 

[The Chef]

 

[Cloudy]

RT @VIP_BlazeItUp: do u think the Lakers will send Joey Crawford to the podium? #podiumgame
Expand

lmao

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Surprised people still commenting about the MWP knee. Only happened because YNB elbows him in the back of his knee. Don't let the reputation get in the way of the facts.

I don't think any of those plays were dumb other than the Ibaka putback.

edit: Ric Bucher is like the worst person ever, wtf.

 

[aznpxdd]

hahaha@ the people saying freethrows aren't clutch. Amazing.

If he had missed even ONE you'd be in here screaming about how much of a choke artist he is. You fucking people...

People hate greatness. Get used to it brotha.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Lakers deserved to win because of last game.

I don't care about either team but some nice clutch freethrow shooting by the Lakers.

Hahahaha i know man. Is cracking me up how insane with rage some people are in here.

There were a lot of questionable calls in this game, and they primarily went against OKC.

No salt, just facts.

No Thunder fan can say that with a straight face.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This loss is pretty bad for OKC if the Spurs can sweep since SAS with a lot of rest could just smash them and psychologically take control of the series.

[Net_Wrecker]

Well.....at least no sweep. Let's see how much the Lakers have left in the tank tomorrow.

Tell us how cold it was for Memphis to steal The Grizzlies, please, please tell us.

Don't worry, Gondo.

You guys will win Games 4 & 5.

Good luck in the next round!

Blake was huge. I love how he just owned it. He wanted that shot.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Bullshit and you know it.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

there were questionable calls both ways but a lot of the calls the lakers got in the 2nd half weren't even questionable. they were blatantly wrong. there were fouls the thunder got that on further review ok they were ticky tack or not really fouls but there was shit the lakers got that was clearly not a foul before you even saw a replay

doesn't matter doe, no amount of complaining will change the outcome of the game. if the thunder win tomorrow this series is over in 5. if the lakers win then its a series!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

This loss is pretty bad for OKC if the Spurs can sweep since SAS with a lot of rest could just smash them and psychologically take control of the series.

You greatly overrate rest.

Sure it would help San Antonio but I doubt Westbrook and Durant need a week off before the next series if they prevail.

 

[The Chef]

I love you guys. I.....

So perfect. This is so stressful god damn.

 

[Shadow780]

Blake was huge. I love how he just owned it. He wanted that shot.

Thats Racist!

 

[MonkeyKing]

I hate this shit.

But man, I love this shit. It's just nerve wracking....

 

[Justin Timberlake]

The thing that Laker-fans have to understand is that we don't hate the Lakers for this game, we hate Joey Crawford and the league as a whole.

We hate the Lakers for other reasons

 

[KingGondo]

No Thunder fan can say that with a straight face.

At least two of Harden's fouls on Kobe weren't fouls at all. Durant got mugged in the lane after Ibaka's missed shot. Lots of ticky tack weak playoff foul calls.

I should have expected it, but I'm not mad. But anyone who doesn't think the Lakers got most of the calls is delusional.

Says it all:

@dailythunder: The Lakers have made only 10 baskets this half. And yet have 43 points.

And this was tweeted with a couple minutes left.
