Rapid reaction: Lakers hold off the Thunder 105-96 in Los Angeles

The two person offense that the Thunder run most of the time now, SUCKS! It is making it harder and harder for KD to get good shots and Russell too! It used to be we only had to endure it during the last 10 minutes of a competitive game. Grant Long keeps hyping it too, saying that only Durant and Russell should be touching the ball during the 4th quarter. The best teams in the league, San Antonio and Miami, don't play that way. The only reason it works some for us is that KD and RW get fouled so much and make most of their free throws. As we know from last year, that won't work in the playoffs, since the refs won't call a lot of those fouls.

I thought the officials were keeping the Thunder in the game, calling bogus fouls and sending Durant and WBrook to the line. I thought WBrook was a punk for fouling Kobe so hard, then pushed Kobe like a sissy. WBrook didn't even look at Kobe when he pushed him because he's a coward - look at the tape. Hope Lakers meet Thunder in the first round because Lakers have their number.

After the Celtics blew a 27-point lead and lost to the Atlanta Hawks - when the sky was falling in Celtics land - the Rajon-less Celtics beat the Miami Heat in double overtime. Surely the sky is now falling in Miami. And no doubt here's a truth: After the Celtics triumph of the Heat the sky is indeed falling on the Rajon-less Celtics. Here's a funny truth: Some people here think the sky is falling in Thunder land.

You people microscoping single games. A league-leading team in Major League baseball loses 50 games and ends the regular season at 112-50. Not bad. Last season Sacremento fans declared the Kings had turned the corner after beating the Thunder in Sacremento.
