Lakers and Thunder..Again

[SoonerBoy18]

Tonight's game vs the Lakers is definitly a statement game (obviously because its on TNT), Thunder has to be able to beat the big boys away from the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Tonights game will prove if they are good enough to do that. I am confident that we will be able to come away with the win, but Thunder plays like a different team when they play at the Staples Center.. Is this a western conferece finals preview?

Unless the Lakers can step it up a notch, the Spurs will be tough for the Lakers to get through. (If bracket would be based off today's rankings)

This will be a good test, but I am terrified of the Spurs right now. They look like the best team in the NBA IMHO.

Looks like the Thunder are showing that their 15 point beatdown on the Lakers here in February wasn't a fluke.

[dankrutka]

Definitely not a fluke. The Lakers are old. There's a great chance the Lakers are done 1st round.

I agree that the Spurs will be our biggest obstacle to the finals.

We really need to finish atop the conference and hold home court advantage.

last nights game... amazing. everything with OKC is like gold, miracles happen with OKC.

We have to hope the Spurs meet someone they don't match up well with prior to the western conference finals. The Grizz had their way with them last year.

If the Thunder beat the Bulls on Sunday then they will have beaten Miami, L.A., and Chicago all within a week. Quite a resume to show off.

Hopefully Memphis can eliminate the Spurs again, its quite possible.

I hope someone gets rid of them before we have to play them because San Antone is seriously what will keep us from a week in Chicago or Miami IMO; or if the ESPN playoff predictor is correct, Indianapolis is an option as well. LOL
