- Lakers go on a 10-0 run to start the game. Kobe has taken zero shots
- I'm not a fan of the NBA Cares commercials, but I'm glad a Warrior is finally in one.
- Perfect example of Kobe chucking. Pump fake, contested 3 with Sefolosha all over him
- Durant needs to settle down
- Man, Artest is a great defender
- Westbrook showing off that athleticism. Wow!
- That's what I'm talking about, Harden! Desperately need some kind of contribution off the bench
- Rough start, but this team is resilient. Weathered the storm.
- KD has to get an easy bucket or get to the line to settle him down.
- I just saw my friend, Lauren, in a commercial for Capital Casino. Pretty cool.
- If this were the Warriors, Harden takes that pull up 3 in transition, especially since he made one the previous possession.
- I don't know if I've said it here or somewhere else, but I love Ibaka's game. He is going to be a force.

- I find it hilarious that Sasha Vujacic can't even sniff the court. What are you thinking, Sharapova? This reminds me of the conversation I had with my cousin's roommate. He said he would rather have Sasha than Monta Ellis.
- Let's see if these free throws get Durant going...
- Durant has been huge on the boards. The Lakers outrebounded the Thunder by 17 in the first two games. The Thunder have a +8 advantage right now.
- Russell Westbrook. Wow! Nice pass by Kobe by the way. lol
- Baseball may be my favorite sport solely based on the block/charge call in basketball. I hate that play.
- Big first half from Harden. Now it's Durant's turn to take over from here.
- I expect Kobe to chuck in the 2nd half with his teammates not really doing much. I don't think that will work out well for the Lakers as I've stated multiple times.
- I need one of those Rise Together shirts that the Thunder fans are wearing. Amazingly, there aren't any on eBay yet, but I expect them to go for a premium price similar to the We Believe shirts.
- Good point made by my roommate: If Krstic was Mehmet Okur, this team would be dangerous
- In-N-Out Time. Haven't eaten all day.
- Durant came through down the stretch. After starting 3-15, he went 5-9 down the stretch while playing great defense on Kobe.
- The Thunder outrebounded the Lakers by 14. Durant is a huge reason why.
- Kobe did what I thought he would do. He chucked. 17 shots in the 2nd half. 29 for the game. Like I predicted, 28 or more shots = a Lakers loss. The Lakers played well when Kobe was moving the ball. They played poorly when Kobe was chucking.
- Kobe: 10-29 for 24 points. Gasol: 7-12 for 17 points. Not enough touches for Gasol.
- This loss is on Kobe. Blame it on the finger, the ankle, the knee, the back - blame it on whatever you want, this loss is on Kobe.
