Lakers vs Thunder
(Thunder Wins Series 4-1)
- Could this be the last run for one Kobe Bryant? - Big Changes for the Lakers could be in-store for the 2012-13 season. Lets face it, the Lakers as present constituted can't win a championship. Kobe could play a role in who comes and goes from the Lakers, including himself. Even though, the Lakers wouldn't entertain that idea yet right? Right? Well this will make an interesting off-season for the Lake Show. To be continued...
- Can KD and Westbrook be stopped this time? - Westbrook was the MAN of this series. KD did win game 4 with his game-winning shot, but Westbrook was too much for the Lakers point guards to handle. It's going to be interesting to see if Westbrook can keep up this level of play, cause if he can along with KD's clutch shooting, this team is prime to win the Golden trophy.
- Battle of the big men: Gasol and Bynum vs. Perkins and Ibaka - Well for the Lakers bigs, the question was could they dominate this series. Answer: NO. This could be some of the reason as to why the Lakers couldn't beat the Thunder. The Lakers bigs are clearly better than the Thunders bigs, but they never played up to their potential.
- Could the winner of this series be the Representative of the Western Conference in the NBA Finals? - Well before the series started, I thought that this could be the West's best two teams. Yea I stand corrected, very much so. The winner of this series could be the representative to face and slow down the NBA's best team playing right now: San Antonio Spurs. I still believe that the Thunder could still win, but this will be a tough test for both teams.
