Okay, so who thinks OKC has a realistic chance again the Fakers? Granted, the Thunder came out with both guns blazing at home, and Durant did a great defensive job on Bryant, but I'm afraid this series will be about home court advantage. But I would love to see the LA go down. It would make my season.
I saw a little bit of game four. The Thunder clearly looked faster and much more aggressive. Overall with Durant and Westbrook they have a solid young nucleus. If they can acquire (free agency or the draft) a player who will give them more of of an inside presence (someone like Carlos Boozer or David Lee), I think they can really begin to challenge the NBA's elite. Remember, also, that even though its a one v. eight match-up, I think the Lakers only won 7 more games than the Thunder in the regular season.
However, when push comes to shove, I suspect the Lakers will find a way to win this series. They still have the one experienced difference maker in Kobe.
Yes, and they also have a more experienced coach in Jackson. But people who thought the Lakers were going tp waltz through the series are getting more than a mild shock.
