Thunder 77, Lakers 75

Is anyone outside of Hollywood rooting for the Lakers? Not only is Kobe a scumbag, but Ron Artest is a violent sociopath. The Thunder remained undefeated in the playoffs with a 77-75 win over the Lakers. Kobe Bryant didn't get the last shot. Then again, he wasn't open. Then again, Steve Blake shouldn't be taking the most important shot of the game. Then again, players like Kobe Bryant should make themselves available, so the Steven Blakes of the world don't have to take such a shot.

But Kobe is a scumbag, so he'll blame his teammates. He'll have rough sex with some woman in Oklahoma. He won't care if she consents or not. Then he'll move on.

Game 3 will be played Friday night in LA.

The employees and bars in and around the Staples Center must be cleaning up this Spring with the Lakers, Kings, and Clippers all deep into the playoffs.

Lakers Lose, Kobe Promptly Throws Teammates Under The Bus

"He's the one guy that I can rely on night in and night out to compete and play hard and play with that sense of urgency and no fear," Bryant said of World Peace. "I'm looking forward to having that by my side again."

That's what he said, and I think this quote is very dangerous. You have a guy like Bynum who acts like a child if anyone calls him out, and Gasol who's weakminded, and maybe Sessions who's knew to this and they may say, "Hey Kobe, you want to just do this alone with Artest, go ahead." Kobe Bryant wanted his Michael Jordan flu game and he didn't, and it's ridiculous he took it out against his teammates, although Gasol has sucked and Bynum is an ass. In my pre playoffs predictions I had Denver in 7. Although it's extremely difficult to win 3 in a row, I see Kobe's words hurting the Lakers rather than helping.
