I know Blake missed the open 3, but LOL at Westbrook's defense at 1:50

best chance at the series blown away

Whole thing started with Harden blowing right by Kobe. Then Kobe making the situation worse with a poor turnover that led to a direct basket for the opposition. Something that happened with increasing frequency in the 2010's.

Curious that these 3 played together and now that they're in different teams, they lead the league, westbrook & harden played for the MVP of season and durant was the MVP of the finals, I would like to see them again!!

amazing

kobe fucked the game up for but nobody's perfect its amazing he was younger here but scored 60 at age 37

Five years later OKC realizes they were developing a MONSTER of a team

I was at this game, every body had high expectations of Thunder winning the finals this year. 😓 the good ole days

Can’t believe we wasted this trio cause we didn’t want to pay harden a couple extra million sigh..

We’ll have this atmosphere again I know we will

Man, that Lakers team looks soulless for real.

Steve Blake gota wide open look. Gotta knock that down. But I hate the Lakers so yay! lol

If Harden stayed on OKC they would probably be the team that could actually challenge and win GSW in a 7-game series. Now there is only Spurs who is losing 1-3 in regular season against GSW... But yeah, this is the beginning of the end of Kobe's career... Too bad, i wanted him to always be good...

Just a bit of hindsight, Golden State is currently down 2-1 to OKC with another game in OKC to play before they head back home. We got Andrew Roberson (who's surprisingly efficient from 3 now) and Dion Waiters (who can make a hell of a point guard). Harden is great on offense, but he isn't even half the defenders those two are. Defense wins games, and out of that trade we get a SURGING Steven Adams, who's inside presence is a godsend. And plus the man can score. And even when other pieces didn't work for him, he upped and switched them for better tokens. This is one hell of a team Sam Presti built from the ashes of that trade. KD, Westbrook, Ibaka, Adams, Roberson, Kanter, Waiters, Collison, and even Foye and Morrow. You're looking at a team who lead by as many as 41 points against the Warriors and ended the third quarter with 117 points. Now GSW needs to come out of game 4 with a win or their post-season is done. As of now, their 73-win record is all but forgotten in this series. I think they're doing fine without Harden.

@kekule543

8 жыл бұрын

***** 73-win series is a history record and won't be broken for a long time. I wouldn't call that forgotten, since Curry was injured. Only way Spurs and OKC could pull out a win against GSW is by someone getting injured, as we clearly saw Westbrook being scared of GSW during the season, he's just acting tough now in playoffs. If GSW and OKC were having this series with 0 current or in close past injuries, i do believe that OKC would lose... And OKC was never in ashes, because they had 3 stars on their team, the 76ers are in ashes right now. So yeah.

Look at Kobe shooting his team out of yet another game and then giving them the scowl.

KD beats star guys when they are at their most vulnerable, not when they are at their best

unless if Westbrook is on against the Miami heat

Kobe has never been able to do anything great besides scoring in volumes and inefficiently. If KD takes 22-25 shots a game, he would easily average 30-33 points a game.
