Staples Center experiences SILENCE by Thunder! 1-12-2013

Kevin Durant's Thunder dominate the Lakers tonight. The Lakers accepted their largest deficit of the season by the hand's of the Thunder of 25 points late in the 4th quarter. You know that the night is going bad when Jack Nicholson & Adam Sandler leave the game early. Durant had 25 pts. by half time. The Lakers shot 6 for 28 from three point land. Kobe had an ice cold night going 8 for 25. The Lakers looked defeated and whipped all game long. At no point did it look like they wanted to play basketball. I've seen flat tires look more energetic. LA's lack of good passing and bad rotation on defense didn't leave much to look forward to. The crowd started to boo with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. I wondered what took them so long. Clark and Sacre appear to not be able to handle the threat of the "big" boys very well. Come on Dwight Howard how about you decide that you might benefit from acting like you at least want to be a Laker. Magic Johnson said, "Its over for the Lakers. No playoffs." After tonight's lack luster performance; I tend to agree. Kobe gives the impression that he is not in control of "his" locker room and, doesn't want to play any defense either. Too bad because I think the NBA is better when the Lakers (and Bulls) are really good. OKC and the other LA team have put the league on notice to say; "Here come the young bucks. WATCH OUT!"
