Insane no look pass from Beardo. Now one clapped.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:23:41 PM

Lakers using the patented Pylon Defense.

IAmRight		2012-05-21 10:24:16 PM

Okay, on reserve power. Night, all.

elguerodiablo		2012-05-21 10:24:37 PM

Dunk by Durant. Everyone claps politely and 5-6 people even stood up they were so enthused.

cameroncrazy1984: Can I hope they both lose?

Yes. (celtics.jpg)

cameroncrazy1984: Dookie-chute: elguerodiablo: cameroncrazy1984: Aw, I liked the alternating tshirt colors they had last time. All blue is boring.

It's going to take a hell of a lot more than alternating shirts to make this crowd interesting. These lumps are the saddest excuse for a playoff crowd i've ever seen.

Thunder fans are best in the NBA, LA fans are thuggish lot.

I've had this conversation before. I know a guy who moved here from OKC. He's not even a basketball fan but he's an ardent Thunder supporter. It's the only pro team they have, so they support it 100%

They get a full house every time bit they have no idea how to act. Theyre just sitting there like they're at church or dinner theater or something. It was like that last game there too until about 1 minute left. Then the place went nuts and everyone stood up and was yelling defense and doing things you should do to support your team and have a fun playoff style atmosphere. It made the other 46 minutes even creepier.

It's almost as if the last two minutes of a playoff game are more exciting

Also, I heard no one chanting OKC just now. Or chanting defense right now. Or cheering. Nope. I hear none of it. It's silent as a church in there!

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:32:03 PM

It's weird! Nobody cheered for that block, or stood up for that dunk! They just sat there!

To be fair the real fans are in the nose bleed seats, the ones on camera posh crowd.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:32:42 PM

I mean check out that replay! Nobody knows what to do! They're just sitting politely!

Seriously though, check out that crowd outside. That's cool.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:35:40 PM

Holy crap that's a lot of people outside. Having seen Sabres playoff games in a similar setting I can tell you that the atmosphere should be amazing.

This.

I am in a packed, standing room only bar. All of us cheering like mad for OKC.

Kenny B		2012-05-21 10:39:32 PM

Hey LA! Miss me yet!

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:40:05 PM

I mean, it's creepy how much they're NOT chanting "OKC" all the time, right? Or standing up and cheering dunks! I mean, they're not even chanting 'Defense" right now!

/okay I'm done being sarcastic

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:41:24 PM

MWP plays some dominoes.

bulldg4life		2012-05-21 10:43:22 PM

Why does Gasol flip back and forth between "omg its the finals I need to do something" and "it's a nothing game in early february" mode so often?

dirkfunk		2012-05-21 10:45:44 PM

cameroncrazy1984: It's weird! Nobody cheered for that block, or stood up for that dunk! They just sat there!

That sounds like a laker's home game to me. L.A. seems like the least interested, most confused crowd I have ever seen.

It's like people don't like the lakers or somthing...

Kobe is waking up

meta worlds b careful

Doogled		2012-05-21 10:48:24 PM

Aside from his poor attempt at drawing a foul, Kobe is abusing Harden.

macadamnut		2012-05-21 10:50:38 PM

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:53:29 PM

Commentators doth protest too much.

karmaceutical		2012-05-21 10:53:41 PM

Is this announcer farking blind and not seeing MWT shove on that foul?

zarberg		2012-05-21 10:54:23 PM

If this spurs the Lakers on to play harder in the 2nd half and win, Kobe will come out looking like a genius.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-05-21 10:54:32 PM

karmaceutical: Is this announcer farking blind and not seeing MWT shove on that foul?

He just couldn't see from his knees.

you can easily see his hand on the other guys shoulders/head while he uses the other hand to swipe at the ball. then he shoves the guy into the ground

PetraeusWJ		2012-05-21 10:54:59 PM

karmaceutical: Is this announcer farking blind and not seeing MWT shove on that foul?

THIS. He clearly shoves him as they're coming down. Good foul call.

karmaceutical		2012-05-21 10:55:54 PM

They should fire these announces and give Barkley a live mic.

You'd think someone with the login cameroncrazy would know what an enthusiastic basketball crowd would look and sound like. Their chants are half assed and barely audible. If the announcers can speak in there normal speaking voices youre doing it wrong. Watch one of the games tomorrow youll see a huge difference imediately.

Huh? You mean MWP shoving the ball out of his hands? Are you people really complaining about bias and then being completely blinded by it, or am i just being trolled?

Kenny B		2012-05-21 10:57:17 PM

They should just go ahead & put Reggie Miller in a Lakers Cheerleaders outfit.

he would not be that funny, he need time to think, and to speak.

bulldg4life		2012-05-21 11:00:08 PM

I'm impressed that both announcers and the entire halftime show seem to miss the part where RonRon puts his left hand on the shoulder and gives a little push while in the air.

zarberg		2012-05-21 11:00:15 PM

MettaRonWorldArPeaceTest is mad.

No I won't, because it'll be exactly the same as this crowd.

Hint: the announcers use microphones for a reason.

You're definitely being blinded by it. Watch his other hand as they go to the ground.

according to the concussion gallery, that was a "clean hard" foul. wat

I don't think "thinking" is one of the things Sir Charles thinks about... ever.
