Thunder didn't even need to play in the half court. 28 transition buckets, lots of them off careless turnovers that may be fixed when Nash gets healthy.

Kobe's point to Durant

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

Our aim now needs to be to go to home and murder the jazz, and then go out on the road and complete a 3-1 road trip. Washington, Cleveland and Philadelphia should all be wins, New York will probably be a loss. Or we could beat New York and lose to Cleveland. Who knows lol. But I will take that, we would be 13-12 if that scenario happens with Nash hopefully back at the end of that road trip.

No big surprise but I did like how we didn't give up and fought till the end. Thought we would get blown out by 20 at one stage there.

the only laker you criticize is Pau. Everything else is great. I'd love to see things with your perspective.We lost by 6 against OKC when they shot 51% and we shot 38%...
Kobe asking Durant during the game "Was that ya'll best effort?"
Kobe has a point.
To me it never looked like we'd win this game.

Obviously you want a win, but there were a lot of positives from this game after halftime. The 2nd quarter is really what screwed us over, as well as Westbrook making every single bad shot attempt he pulled up for in the 1st half. Hell, he made 5 threes which is almost unheard of from him.
I like our chances against them with a healthy squad. Happy that we didn't just fall back and take a 20+ point beating after falling behind.

My perspective was the Thunder shot 51% and we shot 38% and it was a 4 point game late into the 4th.
My perspective is that we played good defense in the 2nd half but didn't convert on easy shots, like the Jordan Hill layup or Duhon turning over a missed free throw.
I like the things I saw tonight. That was pretty much the Thunder's best.
Though I already know your perspective. Rather than give us credit for playing good defense in the 2nd half and remaining in striking distance you'd probably rather say "Well the Thunder let us off the hook" right?

So what's that say

I can't say the Lakers played bad...Westbrook just got hot in the first half putting them so deep in a whole. 27 Pts in one half...very impressive.

Damn guys we still have to argue with each other even after an encouraging loss? At least 3/4 of TLN isn't ready to throw in the towel which is what would have happened had we given up in the 4th...

Funny statistic. We won every quarter but the 2nd. (3rd was tied)

I honestly do not remember a better all-around performance for Kobe, he was amazing in almost every facet of the game. I know people were harping on his defense these games but he was just a disruption on his own man and helping his teammates, I distinctly remember him blanking out Westbrook, Martin and Durant on multiple possessions.
