Are Lakers too much for Thunder to Handle!!!

Game:
Oklahoma Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers
Date: April 20th 10:30pm EST
Pregame Notes:
Here it is game 2 of the first round playoffs against the new upstart playoff team Thunder vs the mighty LA Lakers. With Ron Artest suffocating Kevin Durant in game 1 who just scored 24 points will be a key a match up and a thing to see how Durant will fare against the former defensive player of the year. Can he come up from this, we have to wait and see!!!!


On the other hand Kobe Bryant will need to pull himself up as well from his shooting slump who looked healthy in practice. Kobe missed 13 of his 19 shots in game 1 which made him frustrated, but rest of the Laker team has pulled things together to wrap game1 .
Kobe Bryant was sore for the second half of the regular season with injured Index finger, swollen knee and looks to bring himself back to shape in before its too late.

Andrew Bynum who is back from the injury had a decent outing against Thunder in game 1. Together the twin towers of Lakers have been dominant in the first game against Nenard Kristic and frontcourt of Thunder but would need to see how they both together hold on during the series.


Game 2 will be a good chance for the Thunder to sneak a game from Lakers and put pressure on the defending champions but based on the mistakes Thunder has made in their first appearence in finals gives a feel that it could be a long shot for the young and dynamic Thunder.

Finally to end Oklahoma might have had the first nerves in the opener but their defense was superior than offense and they might look to pull up their socks to have an offensive intensity going through out this most important game of first round of 2010 Playoffs!!!
