2-2

So the series is tied 2-2.  (Lakers vs. Thunder)  What an embarrassing game on Saturday night for the Lakers!  I really don't want to talk about it - all I want to say is that it happens and we all have our off nights.  But being that off was just plain embarrassing.  Kobe does need to step it up if the Lakers want to go to the Western championships.  Even though he did have a 39 points game in game 2, he needs to have one of those games during each of the playoff games.  The Lakers need to win game 5 (tonight, currently 48-30, Lakers, 2:43 in the 2nd) if they are to win the series.  If they lose game 5 in Los Angeles, they will probably not win game 6 in New Orleans (based upon the last 2 games played there in the past week) and the Thunder will win the series.  That just sounds wrong to say that.
