Perkins shuts Dwight down too. I forgot about that.
If getting shutdown means averaging a double double against OKC the last two seasons, then I hope he is shut down Friday.

Woah woah woah, we just beat up on a team with 5 wins this season, minus Anthony Davis.
But this is the Thunder now. Instead of Vasquez, it's gonna be Westbrook. Instead of Aminu, it's gonna be Durant. Ibaka, Perk, Martin, Thabo, this team is stacked and ridiculously athletic. If this game is a make or break point of the season, gonna be a lot of disappointment haha. Don't see LA taking this one in OKC. Hope I'm wrong though of course.

Yeah but we have to look at the reasons we won.
We won because we were offensive rebounding, and because we were defending PnR and help off screens well and played with energy and effort and our bench came through.
If this didn't happen we'd have lost.
If we can do the above effectively against OKC we would win for the same reasons.
If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.
You should reach more often

Lakers are going to win
Exactly because everyone thinks the will lose
Kobe owns Kevin Martin
Thabo is a defensive beast though

The players mentioned stop Lakers from doing that.

I always try and stay confident, but OKC is a GREAT team. We'll see what happens but anything is possible. If MWP can limit Durant and Westbrook has an off shooting night, it may be possible. The biggest goal in last year's playoffs was to throw the ball down low and play a slow-paced offense through Bynum. Well Bynum was often inefficient and that didn't work. As long as we feed Dwight early and often, we stand a great chance. However, I just hope D'Antoni doesn't try to push the ball too much because there is absolutely zero chance of us outrunning OKC on their home floor.

The Lakers will beat the Thunder. I truly believe that. There's gonna be a motivation factor because of last year's loss in the playoffs IMO.

Yeah .. a win in OKC will be huge, but I highly doubt it will happen, considering how we've played recently and our road record.
One team, one love, one goal !

I sure hope so. This team should be capable of doing it. But I have yet to see really any motivation at all this season.The Lakers will beat the Thunder. I truly believe that. There's gonna be a motivation factor because of last year's loss in the playoffs IMO.

If we win in OKC, which is highly unlikely, we must also win the next 5-6 games in order to consider a major turning point. Beating the Thunder and then losing to the Jazz and the Cavaliers would not make any difference.

Arguably the greatest franchise ever

That's the problem with this team.
You can never know which Lakers team is going to show up.
