Lakers might have a better chance if Sessions shows up (I heard he has an ankle injury).
Interesting report on NPR yesterday about the Kings/Lakers/Clippers revolving door at Staples this week.

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
Sessions is showing why he has always been a 2nd string QB.
Also, his strength (pick and roll plays with forays to the rim) can't be used against these fast teams because if he misses (or sometimes even if he makes) it leaves us even more exposed to fast breaks. Even without using the Triangle today, our roster is still best suited for spot-up shooters...and we have none.

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
if the Lakers pull this out it will be WAY more disheartening a loss for OKC than a blowout
Lakers could take all the momentum back here

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
Kobe finally has a Playoff game where he fails to execute consistently to end a game.
Seems like OKC (this whole Playoffs) are benefitting from the fortuitous bounces that LA used to once enjoy.

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
he also has no offensive awareness (or too much depending how u look at it)
he makes unnecessary shovel passes on the interior when he should just go up
if he gets a in the paint defenders should just feint like they'll challenge then immediately play the pass

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
really hate the officiating
Harden is getting called for all kinds of ticky tack
Ibaka is bear hugging Gasol on every free throw attempt

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
and they are letting the Thunder move or poke out their asses on every screen...although I think 3 of Harden's fouls were legit. One was dubious. The block on the fadeaway was clean as an Easter suit.

OKC shoots the gap on every pass. I'm not sure why LAL doesn't show the pass more and then reverse cut...

OKC gets those bounces that LA used to get in those previous Championship years. Maybe it is Fish...

Re: The Arrogant, Entitltled World Champion Los Angeles Lake
Kobe blames Pau openly for the turnover
did Kobe not commit the 2 most egregious turnovers in game 2?
now Magic calls Mike Brown the worst in game adjuster ever

Ryen Russillo from ESPN broke down Kobe's "clutch" gene on a podcast this week after game 2
statistically Kobe is one of the worst "closers" in the league, he just looks the part and it's one of the biggest NBA myths
I'm going to hop online and find the audio
that said, quantifying clutch is a very subjective topic, by selectively choosing your criteria you can present the results you need to backup your argument

Kobe has a core personality defect. It's what makes him great & what makes him frustrating.
