The Regime

We can't just strictly be a good home team, we need this win bad.

Now that was Lakers basketball. It took us 5 games to show it. Kobe shut Westbrook down last night. It got the point where Westbrook couldn't hit his free throws anymore. I'm still lol'ing at the play when Westbrook stole the ball and had a open fastbreak dunk but opted to pass when he saw Kobe coming. Gotta give Kobe mad props, he volunteered to guard Westbrook, and once again made a statement why he is one of the best defensive guards in the league. Also did anyone hear Kobe's comments after the game, he said he could drop 45-50 points easily if he wanted lol. Pau and Bynum controlled the paint, as they should have all series. Pau especially did an excellent job finishing around the rim. He actually took the Thunder bigs off the dribble a couple times as well which I haven't seen him do this series. The Thunder didn't no who to double team, if they doubled Bynum then Pau made them pay and vise versa when they doubled Pau. Also it was about time that Artest knocked down open shots. We need more consistency out of him. He should just stick with that shaved head look. The officiating was good last night, no big time free throw discrepancy. I'll look forward to that in Game 6.

That's pretty sick, especially considering that he tore his ACL a little over a year ago.

I'm sensing it too.

Crazy [expletive] game, both teams are going back and forth. I would have never thought the Spurs would be on there way to a 3-1 series lead. George Hill is showing a lot of promise, he's like Tony Parker with a jumpshot lol.

My dad got it for me as a graduation gift, I think it was $22,000.

LOL. Man has Ron regressed.

Phil Jackson: "There's not much to say about this game. They took it to us. Even their free throw defense was good tonight."

Let's get them in Game 5. Things certainly will be different in Staples.

Nah they dont disappear, they hibernate temporarily.

Someone please explain these fouls to me. [expletive] this officiating.

Ron Artest=worst offensive player on our team. And some of you thought he could create his shot. My [expletive]. Zero [expletive]ing effort tonight, what a joke.

Adam Morrison can summarize the first half. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t242/adamosgp/91096104-e73f99aa82f15b326c2b32db54.gif

It could be way worse.

All things considered we're still in position to win this game. Hopefully we don't have so much biased officiating next half.
