Kamenetzky Brothers: 8 questions facing the Lakers this offseason - For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been boun... http://ow.ly/1jWDXa 3 days ago

Arash Markazi: If the Lakers hadn't already unofficially retired No. 8, @Christian Eyenga's Twitter handle would still make sense. 3 days ago

Arash Markazi: It's funny the way you look at Kobe when you see a picture of him in 8 or 24. 8 is like your yearbook photo and 24 is when you're grown up. 3 days ago

Arash Markazi: It's not impossible the Lakers could retire both 8 and 24 but 24 means more to Kobe and it would be odd to see two Bryant jerseys retired. 3 days ago

Arash Markazi: The Lakers will probably officially retire Kobe Bryant's No. 24 and unofficially retire No. 8. 3 days ago

Arash Markazi: I think Kobe Bryant will play 4 more seasons and retire having played 20 seasons, 10 in No. 8 and 10 in No. 24. 3 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: This from AK seems particularly appropriate now: http://ow.ly/b3Syt BK 3 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: At this point, I'm not positive Bynum cares enough about this game to do something stupid at the end of it. BK 3 days ago

Janis Carr: Just showed a very unhappy Mitch Kupchak in the stands. Must be thinking of what changes he has to make this off-season 3 days ago

David Brickley: I'm 95% certain these are the final minutes of Gasol's career as a Laker. 3 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Bynum knows at this point he can come out and contest a shot, right? BK 3 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe and Pau discord very evident the past minute with Lakers down 15. 3 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe has 38 points and no assists in 34 minutes. ... OKC 97, LAL 84 with 6:33 to play. 3 days ago

Monday, May 21

Mike Trudell: Maybe hurting LAL more than anything tonight was the early foul trouble for Bynum. Hasn't been able to find a rhythm at all. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe also didn't start the 4th Q of Game 4, and World Peace helped expand LAL's lead to 13 in that one as Kobe rested. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Kobe, Gasol, Metta have all brought serious effort. Lakers just don't have enough dudes. BK 4 days ago

Baxter Holmes: Lakers. Thunder. Game 5. Even more blog. http://lat.ms/JAXaf3 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Brown was likely hoping to get Kobe 2 minutes, charging Bynum/Gasol with holding the fort. OKC hit 3 long shots, instead. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Easy to criticize Brown for not starting Kobe in the 4th; other side is he's eventually worn down playing full 4th Q's. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe bombs away the 3-point attempt that misses. Pau wears pained expression and gestures for more ball movement. OKC 93, LAL 77. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Thunder 93, Lakers 77 with 9:25 left in the game and likely the Lakers' season. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Bynum is still not moving to put a body on anyone. BK 4 days ago

David Brickley: Only guy missing is the former Laker. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Another 3 from Durant, this one contested at the end o/t clock, has OKC now up 91-77. 8-0 run to start the 4th. Kobe just checked in. 4 days ago

Janis Carr: Any chance OKC blows this double digit lead? Didn't think so, either 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant returns with the #Lakers down 91-77 with 10:11 remaining. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: While Kobe rests: Three trips, no touches for Bynum to start the fourth. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Wow. I'd have bet Kobe would have been back out of the TO. BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: The Harden 17-foot J was very much contested (he's 6 of 9 + 4 FT's for 17 pts). Durant's 3 came in transition, hard for Gasol to match up. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: OKC started 4th really small, Durant at PF & Collison at C. Gasol missed a hook, Ebanks a 16-footer, OKC scoring off both misses. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Lakers start the fourth quarter with #Kobe Bryant on the bench and are down 88-77 with 11:03 left in their season. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Quick 5-0 run from OKC, capped by Durant's 1st 3 in 5 attempts, puts LAL in serious trouble. Biggest OKC lead is 11, at 88-77. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: So much for the mini-speech. Maybe should've been a fiery one. Gasol misses first shot, then OKC makes two. OKC 88, LAL 77. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Hope you enjoyed your rest, Kobe. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: The Lakers have 12 minutes to avoid seeing their season end here in OKC, a 6-point deficit to deal with. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Thunder 83, Lakers 77 at the start of the 4th quarter. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Gasol giving Ebanks, Blake, Sessions and Bynum a mini-speech here before the start of the fourth about having to keep going. OKC 83, LAL 77. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Gasol has spent 1:05 on the bench tonight. I hope that was enough. BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL were up 70-66 with 5:27 left in the 3rd. They were outscored 17-7 for the rest of the quarter. Westbrook had 10 of 'em. 4 days ago

John Ireland: No matter how game ends, Gasol is going down swinging. He and Kobe are keeping the Lakers season alive by themselves. Both going all out 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: 3rd time this series Westbrook's athleticism eventually caught up to LAL in the 2nd half, though Bynum's foul trouble didn't help. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: End of 3: Thunder 83, #Lakers 77. Another tipping point to start the fourth quarter for LAL, who haven't mailed it in tonight. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers trail 83-77 after three quarters. Kobe has 34 pts, but Westbrook (20), Durant (17) & Harden (15) are maintaining OKC's lead 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol's tip in of Kobe's miss through traffic appears after the buzzer. As such, LAL head into 4th Q down 83-77. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Catch and shoot from Bryant pure. He's got the full game going tonight. BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: MWP's 3 stopped the first OKC run, Bryant's snaps the latest, but Westbrook is again hitting all his pull-up J's. He has 12 in the 3rd. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Kobe stops a 14-3 run with that 3. 4 days ago

Janis Carr: No way Lakers win if Westbrook continues to make those shots. OKC leads, 80-73 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: The early fouls really hurt Bynum, who was worried about picking up another on both ends. He sits w/LAL suddenly down 7. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Last time the Lakers allowed a crowd like that to form outside the arena to watch a game was Game 6 of the 2000 Finals. That didn't go well. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Big 3-pointer from MWP, LAL's 1st make of the game in 5 attempts, ties it back at 73. Gasol has 13 rebounds. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe yelling at Pau. Pau yelling back. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: The last momentum breaking TO from Sessions came to set up that flagrant foul on MWP. OKC now up 3, were just down 4. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Lakers bench 3 points. Thunder 26. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Sessions has been effective at times, esp. early in the 2nd w/Fisher guarding him, but his 4 turnovers have been costly for LAL. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I should rephrase... Sessions has made *some* good plays, but the bad ones... BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Westbrook had a remarkable and-1 to cap it, stealing the ball from Sessions then somehow getting a 15-foot scoop to fall through the foul. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: We've seen this all series - LAL controls the play, then OKC goes on an super quick burst, here a 6-0 run in under a minute to go up 2. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Brutal pass from Ramon Sessions gets picked by Russell Westbrook, who throws some mess into the basket after Sessions fouls him. #Lakers 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Costly turnover by Sessions, plus the unfortunate foul on Westbrook that allowed him the improbable and-1 opportunity. Crowd going crazy 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Sessions has made a lot of good plays, but his bad ones have been SPECTACULAR failures. BK 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: No box-out from Bynum allows Collison dunk to get crowd roaring. Then Westbrook's steal and circus shot. Costly moment by Bynum. 4 days ago

Janis Carr: Wow. That was a shot that Kobe usually gets lucky with 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Gasol is playing D for two tonight. BK 4 days ago

David Brickley: I get it. But these NBA Cares commercials scream hey ______ can you read this? 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Of OKC's 10 3rd Q shot attempts, all but 2 have come well outside the paint. LAL have 5 FG's at the rim. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Pau came out of the timeout making a tough-guy face and throwing a fake punch in the air to rev himself up. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe up off the bench in this timeout to go over and talk in animated fashion to Pau, seated at the other end of the bench. LAL 68, OKC 66. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant with 30 after a steal and slam. #Lakers ahead 68-66 with 5:49 left in the third quarter. Not going without a fight in Game 5 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe already has 4 dunks, his latest - in transition - giving him another 30-point game (88th in playoff career). LAL up 68-66. 4 days ago

David Brickley: LAL 68 OKC 66. 5:49 left in 3rd qtr. Kobe has 30 points. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Make that four dunks for Kobe ... Lakers up 68-66. L.A. is not going down quietly. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Clearly, Kobe Bryant isn't ready for vacation. Has 28 points on 12-for-20 shooting after completing a 3-pt play to give #Lakers 66-64 lead. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Kobe has 9 pts in the quarter after connecting on the and-1 Dirk stepback. He has 28 pts for the game. 4 days ago

Mike Bresnahan: Did I say Gasol was an early candidate for Lakers' LVP this game? I take it back. He now has 14 pts, 12 rebs. Lakers not done yet... 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol already has 14 pts, 12 rebs, 2 asts & 2 blks tonight, 6:36 left in the 3rd. Kobe, meanwhile, up to 28 points after an and-1. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Ummph. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Kobe throws down his 3rd dunk of the day to give the Lakers a 61-60 lead. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Loudest Lakers cheer heard in here tonight was Mike Brown after Pau drew that foul. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I very much fear Bynum is about to spontaneously combust like a Spinal Tap drummer. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Bynum was very passive on D playing with 2 PF's in the 2nd Q. Will hurt LAL team D as he'll be tentative all 3rd Q now. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Andrew Bynum picks up his fourth foul after 51 seconds after Kevin Durant trips over his foot. Tough nite. #Lakers 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Mike Brown expects assistants back next season, including Ettore Messina: Tomorrow's story tonight ... Lakers co... http://bit.ly/K9JaXh 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Can't reach, Andrew. BK 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Bynum picks up his 4th foul less than a minute into the 2nd half for reaching in on Durant. Uh oh. Brown keeps him in 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Bynum trips Durant 51 seconds into the second half for his fourth foul. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL start out with a strong possession of D, Ibaka taking an end-of-clock contested J, but it went in off front rim & glass. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Mike Brown asked ref Tom Washington if that was really a flagrant foul. Washington nodded yes. Brown let it go. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Harden may not have been able to guard Kobe, but he picked LAL's D apart for 13 pts, 4 asts (+5 rebs) in 15 minutes. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: In an almost never-before-seen moment, Kobe is the first Laker out of the locker room to work on his shot at halftime. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Play that led to MWP flagrant - a careless TO from Sessions, who'd otherwise played well. Had plenty of options, just threw it away. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I'm very surprised the Thunder didn't try to attack Kobe more, with two fouls. BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Late flagrant/technical foul barrage aside, LAL's offense was very good in 2nd Q. Scored 30 points on 11 of 18 FG's. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: I wouldn't have even called a foul in a pickup game if MWP had blocked my shot on that play. Get up and play and say, Nice swat. #Lakers 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Halftime: Thunder 54, Lakers 51. Bryant and Gasol combine for 29 points. Durant and Westbrook combine for 20 points. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL led 51-50 & had controlled the 2nd Q, but tough flagrant 1 call resulted in 4 FT's as MWP & Kobe both got resulting T's. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers trail 54-51 at the half. Kobe has 19 pts. Pau has 10 & 9. We'll see how much that flagrant foul fiasco will cost them 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Half: Thunder 54, #Lakers 51. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Mike Brown was so unworried about Metta's foul being flagrant that he was laughing and talking to an OKC female fan next to him. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers had the 51-50 lead but a World Peace flagrant (terrible call) and Ts from Kobe & Metta put OKC up 54-51 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: If you block a guy's shot is still a flagrant foul? Somebody with a rulebook? MWP got a raw deal on that one. #Lakers 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Probably not the worst thing in the world we're about to hit halftime. The Lakers need a chance to cool down. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: World Peace furious after being called for a flagrant while getting a ton of ball & not much body on Sefolosha's drive. Drew a T. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Pau's starting to put together a nice game. He has 10 pts on 4-of-9 shooting, 9 reb and 2 blk 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: A Gasol and-1 through traffic draws an emphatic high-5 from Kobe. Spaniard up to 10 pts, 7 rebs in a strong half. LAL up 51-50. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe threw down an alley-oop (Gasol) after not getting up-fake call he's used to after getting Harden to bite (Harden layup on other end). 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: The Lakers coaches are reminding Metta that he shouldn't be afraid to help off Ibaka. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant was so mad at ref Tom Washington for not calling a foul on fake vs. Harden that he dunked on a lob from Pau Gasol. #Lakers 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Kobe with his best in-game dunk since the New Orleans series last year. Wow. #turnbacktheclock 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant with the blow-by vs. James Harden and the reverse dunk. #Lakers #oldguysrule 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe brought the No. 8 jersey out on a baseline reverse dunk to cap a run & put LAL back on top, 47-46. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Metta is guarding Ibaka. Interesting. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: This will be the 1st time all series LAL's noticeably smaller than OKC. Ibaka/Perkins return w/Gasol & MWP at the 4-5. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol & World Peace stepping up playing at center & PF, Gasol forcing Westbrook's miss & feeding MWP for a layup to cut lead to 1. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Not to harp on stuff I've harped on before, but if Pau's allowed to operate regularly in the post, good things often happen. AK 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Mike Brown has implored his team to up their physicality and Metta has answered the call #bullinchinashop 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: As loud as it is in this building I could hear James Harden's slap on Metta World Peace from where I'm sitting. Why complain? #Lakers 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Bynum is LAL's best chance at slowing OKC's offense. Killer for LAL to here play without him for 5 minutes, already down 5. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Bynum called for his third foul with 5:24 left in 1st half. Ebanks in -- and will guard Durant. Metta will guard Harden. OKC 44, LAL 39. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Tough call on Bynum, who went vertical on Harden yet still got hit with a (late) whistle. That's his 3rd PF, w/5:24 in 2nd. He sits. 4 days ago

Mike Bresnahan: Just what the Lakers needed. Three fouls on Bynum barely past the midpoint of the second quarter. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Andrew Bynum picks up his third foul on a swing and a miss on James Harden's putback try with 5:24 left in the half. #Lakers. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: That's a brutal call against Bynum. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL are taking turns scoring on Fisher, this time World Peace posting him up, but Fish hit a J on other end when Kobe left him. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Occupy Chesapeake Energy Arena. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: An 8-0 OKC run was snapped by Sessions, who drew Fisher's PF & hit 2 FT's to make it 40-37 OKC. Good 2nd Q from Sessions. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: It's like Coachella outside the OKC arena. AK 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant checks back into the game with 7:21 left in the half. #Lakers up 35-34. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol has a team-high 6 rebounds as LAL starts to catch up with OKC on the glass (21-16 after 20-10 1st Q). LAL lead 35-34. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Lakers 35, Thunder 32 with 8:17 left in the 2nd quarter. Lakers are +8 with Kobe on the bench. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Hey, lookit, #Lakers into the lead on Andrew Bynum's layup 34-32 with 8:17 left in the half. Did he travel? Yeah he went from there to here. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe asked Lakers trainer Gary Vitti was ref John Goble's name was and then called out to him to tell him something. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: The Lakers are up 34-32 with 8:17 remaining in the 2nd. Bynum is providing a bit of a surge. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL's offense, behind Sessions & Bynum, clicking against OKC's 2nd unit D, Bynum's layup (FT coming) capping a 13-6 run. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Dime Live: Lakers vs. Thunder - Daily Dime Live http://ow.ly/1jWmZm 4 days ago

Janis Carr: Alert! An Ebanks sighting....blocks Harden's beard, uh, shot. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Ebanks air-balled his first FGA, but atoned by sprinting back to swat Harden in transition. 2 Sessions FT's then tied it at 32. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Ebanks with the LeBron block. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Benjamins! 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Bynum can't guard anybody w/the 2 fouls. Or won't, I guess, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Sessions having his way with Fisher, getting by him twice to feed Bynum for a dunk, then score himself, bringing LAL within 2. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: OKC fans boo defensive 3-seconds call against the ThunderSonics. Oh, like anyone knows the difference between legal and illegal D. #Lakers 4 days ago

Janis Carr: Mike Brown to TNT: "We can't get push around tonight.... We have to go out fighting instead of them dictating." There you have it 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant starts the second quarter on the bench and Pau Gasol begins it by flushing Ramon Sessions' missed layup. #Lakers 4 days ago

David Brickley: Sessions two blown layups early in this game. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Sessions blew right by Fisher for a clear lane to the rim, somehow missed the layup, but Gasol dunked it home. Lead cut to 2. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Devin Ebanks gets the surprise appearance, jumping over Matt Barnes in the rotation. It's been a rough postseason for Barnes. 4 days ago

Mike Bresnahan: Three Laker starters were scoreless in first quarter: Bynum, World Peace, Sessions. Another (Gasol) was one for six. That won't get it done. 4 days ago

David Brickley: 1st QTR: Kobe 6/9 FG's, Rest of team 2/12 FG's. 17% 4 days ago

David Brickley: LAL 21 OKC 26 End of 1st qtr. Kobe 15 points on 6/9 shooting. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers trail 26-21 at the end of the the first. Kobe's 6-of-9 w/ 15 pts. Rest of the Lakers are 2-of-12 w/ 6 pts. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Thunder 26, Lakers 21 at the end of the 1st quarter. Lakers not named Kobe are 2/12. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: That was absolutely on Kobe. Lakers catch a break. BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Mohammad hit 1 of 2 to make it 26-21. An unnecessary LAL foul, as only 1 second remained on clock. Bynum, Hill both in foul trouble. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: First Devin Ebanks checks in and then Josh McRoberts. Mike Brown's going deep into his rotation in Game 5. #Lakers down 26-21 after first. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: The refs to Kobe: "You're welcome." AK 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Foul count: HIll (3), Kobe (2), Bynum (2) 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe barely avoided his 3rd PF reaching on Mohammad after yet another OKC O board (8), Hill instead getting No. 3. In comes McRoberts. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Pau's being aggressive, you got to give him that. He's just not finishing anything. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: As expected, Ebanks checks in for the minutes Barnes usually gets; LAL down 25-21 after Hill's put-back layup. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Then it was Fisher pushing the ball off a Kobe miss, & Hill bailed him out w/a foul. Fish doesn't even try to make those attempts. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: For all the shots Kobe has made (6/9, 15 points), he has rolled his eyes at things done by Metta, Pau and Mike Brown so far. OKC 23, LAL 19. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Blake missed a corner 3 that may have put LAL up 1; Kobe/MWP are supposed to be back in transition, instead Harden leaks out for a dunk. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Pau too slow getting back there. BK 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: No, Reggie, I think the prospect of being eliminated tonight motivates Kobe more than LeBron's big game in Round Two. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Kobe has 15 of the Lakers' 19 pts. Ride that Mamba. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Kobe has 15 of the Lakers' 19 pts as they trail 21-19. Ride that snake. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe's hot early, making consecutive shots (including a left-handed leaner off glass) to reach 15 points on 6 of 8 FG's. 21-19 OKC. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Steve Blake is checking James Harden and #Kobe Bryant is on Derek Fisher because Kobe has two fouls. #Lakers 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Kobe, 1. "Midget, 0." AK 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Batting practice. BK 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: SOMEONE SIT NEXT TO MITCH! BK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol continues to be aggressive despite 1 for 5 start on FG's, driving around Collison to earn a foul. 2 FT's cut OKC lead to 3. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Good drive by Pau, but he had to catch the ball at the 3 point line. Collison shouldn't be able to push him that far from basket. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Metta elbowed Nazr in the head shooting a practice basket. Fisher stepped toward Metta, but Nazr let it go. 4 days ago

Mike Bresnahan: Two-way tie for Lakers' LVP right now: Gasol is 1 for 5, Sessions 0 for 3. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Both teams are shooting badly. OKC at 34.8%, LAL 33.3%. Thunder are up 18-13 due to offensive rebounding. They've taken 8 more shots. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I take it back. He stayed on Harden. OKC should just attack him if that's the case. BK 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Kobe Bryant just picked up his second foul. Taking him out would be the prudent thing to do in Feb. Now it would like waving a white flag. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Bryant and Bynum both pick up two fouls with 3:40 left in the 1st quarter. 4 days ago

Janis Carr: Already two fouls for Kobe, two for Bynum.j 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I trust Kobe not to pick up the third foul, but he can't guard Harden anymore. That's not good. BK 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Times for Lakers defender throwing hands up in helplessness at an OKC basket so far: Bynum 1, Gasol 1. ... OKC 18, LAL 13. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: And now Kobe has two fouls. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: OKC has made a nice adjustment by sending cutters to counter LAL's aggressive screen/roll D. They now have 4 dunks off that action. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Andrew Bynum makes $15,157,667 this year. I think he can afford a haircut. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Harden to ref Tom Washington: "I didn't touch him." Kobe got to the line using the old Reggie Miller leg kick trick (w/ Reggie courtside) 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Harden to ref Tom Washington: "I didn't touch him." 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: I don't know everything about basketball, but I highly recommend the Lakers grab a defensive rebound if they wanna win this game. AK 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Tipping point at hand for the #Lakers. Let's see if they fight or go the Dallas and Boston routes in this elimination game. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: After Ibaka's put-back slam, OKC now has more offensive rebounds (7) than LAL have total (6). 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Bynum just picked up his 2nd PF of the 1st Q, the first time this series early foul trouble sends him to the bench (Jordan Hill). 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Gasol starts off 1-for-5, while Bynum's just 1-for-2 before picking up his 2nd foul and being subbed out for Hill. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Bynum closeout quote: "Teams tend to fold if you come out and play hard in the beginning." Rebounds: OKC 15, LAL 6. Points: OKC 12, LAL 11. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol's 16-20 foot J has been $ for the better part of his LAL career, but he's not hitting consistently this postseason. 0 for 3 tonight. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Four of OKC's 6 field goals have been dunks, 2 of them alley-oops. LAL leaving space around rim trying to get out to screen/rolls. 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers timeout, down 12-11 with 5:12 remaining in the 1st. Everything seems to be a dunk for OKC. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Can't miss wide open lay-ups. That was just a 4 point switch. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL managing to hold an 11-10 lead despite already allowing 5 OKC O boards without 1 of their own. Not a good trend for LAL. 4 days ago

David Brickley: Kobe 9 of Lakers 11 points. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Russell Westbrook has a technical and a delay of game midway through the 1st quarter. It'll be interesting to see if refs let him talk. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: The whole key to LAL's D against OKC in halfcourt is showing on Westbrook screen/roll. Here, Westbrook split the double, then dunked. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Scott Foster hit Russell Westbrook with a tech for complaining after a non call. 9-6 LAL after Kobe's pull-up J & FT. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Reggie Miller says Kobe has a look on his face like he wants to take every shot. I call that look Kobe's face. AK 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: After 3.5 minutes, it's just 4-4, with the teams combining to go 4 for 16. Gasol has looked strong w/a dunk, a swat & 2 rebounds. 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Clever sequence from the Lakers to get Kobe a good look. BK 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: OKC has a chance to close out 4-1 tonight. That happens to be my record this week playing 1-on-1 vs Thunder beat writer @darnellmayberry 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: An aggressive Sessions indeed to start, but his 3 was well short, & he missed both FT's after drawing Ibaka's 1st PF. 4 days ago

Arash Markazi: Still odd to hear Derek Fisher give the pregame speech in the middle of OKC's huddle and shoulder hit each guy like he did with the Lakers. 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: Notice how nobody chants, "Beat Phoenix," or anyone like that? #Lakers 4 days ago

Dave McMenamin: Lakers trainer Gary Vitti stands at ready with talcum powder for Kobe before the tip http://yfrog.com/nvjcfmcj 4 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Didn't take long for Fisher to get the "pregame speech" job with OKC. AK 4 days ago

Janis Carr: TNT also showed a shot of pregame huddle of OKC players and the player leading the pep talk? Yep, DFish 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Look for an aggressive @Pau Gasol to start the game, folks. Can often judge his early activity by how many 1st Q rebounds he grabs. 4 days ago

Janis Carr: TNT just showed a shot outside the Chespeake Arena and there are thousands and thousands of fans ready to watch on giant screen 4 days ago

Elliott Teaford: #Lakers coach Mike Brown praised OKC's Kendrick Perkins for his physicalityness before Game 5. Can't make this stuff up. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Speaking of minutes ... we could see Devin Ebanks on the floor tonight with the second unit instead of Matt Barnes. 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Brooks, who has been flowery w/his Kobe praise all series, said Bryant had the best footwork he's ever seen at his position. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: OKC coach Scott Brooks on Kobe: "Best footwork I've ever seen at that position." 4 days ago

Mike Trudell: Scott Brooks: "Minutes are never a concern with our guys." Youth helped OKC in 2nd half of Game 4, but shouldn't be an issue tonight. 4 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe: "We're all upset and extremely frustrated. But I don't think anybody is particularly worried about going to OKC and winning." 5 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe was very clear about how Ibaka, who assigned to Gasol, is roaming to help behind Bynum and hedge toward Kobe. 5 days ago

Kamenetzky Brothers: Kobe not only threw Pau under the bus, he rode the convoy over him. BK 5 days ago

Kevin Ding: Kobe: "Pau's got to be more assertive. When he catches the ball, he's looking to pass." 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Postgame #'s from LAL's Game 4 loss: http://on.nba.com/Kp5CYX 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Loss not all on Gasol being passive. Kobe reminding that Pau has come up big for this Lakers team so many times in the past. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Gasol responded from a tough Game 6 at DEN w/a fantastic personal Game 7, & was constantly excellent through B2B title runs. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: OKC was fronting Bynum, trying to prevent catches; LAL needed Gasol to look for his. Kobe: "He looked to swing the ball to much." 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe said that Gasol absolutely needs to be more aggressive, and not just look to pass. Said he would be in Game 5. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Kobe says LAL not conceding despite long odds: "It is what it is. You have to go into OKC and take care of business." 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Westbrook had not been able to get those clean looks throughout the previous 6 quarters, LAL D looking terrific. Couldn't sustain it. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: OKC youth really winded up taking advantage of the back 2 back. Westbrook's tireless legs allowed clean looks as LAL tired. 5 days ago

Kevin Ding: Bynum: "Terrible loss. I didn't get the ball. I wasn't part of the game in the third and fourth quarter." 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Were Bynum and Gasol fatigued in the 2nd half? Mike Brown points out that they each grabbed only 2 rebounds. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Bynum = biggest deterrent to that Westbrook pull-up since Game 2, but it's asking a lot for a 7-footer to sustain that on a playoff B2B. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: Sign of fatigue: Bynum's been great at popping out to contest Westbrook on screen/roll, but that gets real tiring. WB 23 2nd half pts. 5 days ago

Mike Trudell: LAL led by 13 w/8:03 left in the 4th after Hill's put-back. Fisher, quiet all night, countered w/a 3 that Brooks cited as huge. 5 days ago
