Los Lakers LAKEshow vs Young Gunz OKC THUNDER
Here we go the Lakers are going up against the Thunder (26-4 at Home and 18 straight vs West Teams) and they haven't been over the .500 mark since November 2012. The Thunder have bigger fish to fry but the Lakers are next on the schedule.
The Black Mamba has unleashed a run of late that is "Kobe System" Certified and Verified and the Thunder know if they can slow him down the Lakers will most likely have no shot. Thunder 2G Thabo Sefolosha will get that assignment and he has made it tough for Kobe the last few times the Thunder have played the Lakers.
Lakers Back Up PG the BLAKEshow Purple and Gold Edition..Steve Blake has played extremely well relieving NASHty and he has to make it tough for Thunder Point God Uncle Russ. The Thunder also have Kevin Martin and Reggie Jackson playing on that OKC 2nd Unit that is still trying to find themselves.
The Front Court of the Lakers has to play Big and the "Earl of Staples" will get his chances vs Air Congo..Serge Ibaka and the Thunder Front. Can Dwight Howard be a factor vs OKC Big Perk as Perk knows he has Dwight's Number? The Lakers have even bigger problem staying with KD as M.W.P. is no spring chicken anymore. Look for the Lakers to mix and match players on KD as that;s the One Player that the Lakers can seem to slow down or derail for at least a half.
Transition Baskets and Splash Plays is what OKC has to generate to get the Lakers out of their Game ASAP. The Lakers can't run with the Thunder so half court execution as well as half court Defense will be what the Lakers will try to hang their hat on in this one. The Game will also come down to who gets to the Line the most as really who will be the aggressor the Lakers or OKC?
Lakers looking to get over .500 and catch both #REDnation and the Jazz. The Thunder with Spurs PG TP9 out are trying to put pressure on the Spurs and grab the Logo's #1 Record and the West #1 Seed.
