Perhaps the most anticipated match-up of the NBA Playoffs tips off tonight as the Lakers visit the Thunder. The last time these teams met, World Peace (Ron Artest) elbowed 6-man of the year James Harden. Out of three games the teams played in the regular season the Lakers won one game -- which happened to be they last time they met, so it is a possibility that fans could see this series go to seven games which would not be disappointing at all and great for the NBA as well.
As far as the game itself, you have Kobe vs Durant, a player I really enjoyed watching while he played for Texas in college. Those two will get their shots and their points, so the biggest key for this series is the play of Gasol and Bynum, the league's only seven-foot starting tandem. On the other side, the play of Westbrook and the veteran Perkins will also be exciting to watch. Overall, if it does go seven, I got the Thunder but I could see the Lakers taking it in six. Tonight the stage is set and it will be interesting to see if the "Lake Show" can steal a game at OKC.
