  18. I hope someone in laker organization is at least looking at the spurs blueprint of beating okc. I know we don’t have wimby or even Luka. But how did spurs have success against OKC??

  23. If i had to guess. LeBron is not going to be playing around. He can put an end to the critics once and for all. Lot at stake for the laker players. How they play against OKC. Has a lot to do with some players' future after the series is over. I think its going to be a better series they people think
