    Thunder 106 Lakers 90 to take the series 4-1.
    Thunder vs. Spurs for Western supremacy doesn’t start until Sunday in San Antonio. But for those of us in L.A., we’ll read and hear about the speculation of who goes and who stays with the Lakers. Always the kings and queens of drama here whether they win it all or not.
    But on this night, it was all about the Thunder. Even Metta said as much.
    Cheers!

          She’s not with him because he has money is she? Didn’t think so.
          You’ve probably seen Jimmy Goldstein courtside at NBA games throughout the season. And you’ll probably see him again tonight during Game 4 of the Thunder-Lakers. What’s his secret? Glad you asked.

              Series changer? We think so. There is no way the Thunder doesn’t come out of L.A. without at least a split. If they win Friday, oh doctor.

                We swear the refs did all they could to keep this below 50.
                Game 2 is Wednesday in OKC.

                  Jerry Stackhouse rides the pine with the Hawks, who are tied at 1 apiece with the C’s in a Best of 7 series. But if he had to put his “analyst hat” on, he’d pick the Heat to win it all. He also isn’t dismissing the Lakers.

                  Unless you’re a Mavs’ fan, Kevin Durant’s game-winning bucket provided the climax of 1 of the best games of the NBA playoffs on Saturday night in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder took a 1-0 lead in their series against the defending champs.

                  The low point: Regardless of who you’re a fan of, Derrick Rose going down with a torn ACL was a bummer. But is it fair to blame Tom Thibodeau?

                    We said it back in December, when the NBA season tipped off. Everyone and their mother picked the Heat, the favorite to win it all, while idiots like us took the Thunder.
                    The smart money says the Heat, and we get that. But for credibility sakes, we can’t change horses in the middle of the street. Can’t do it.
                    Our only reservation about the Thunder is Kendrick Perkins (and Russell Westbrook not getting out of hand and shooting them out of a contest) matching up with some of the big men in the Western Conference. Against the Heat, though, it’s even money since they don’t have a significant presence inside either.
                    So here’s how we see the playoffs playing out. Happy trails.
                    East
                    Bulls over 76ers in 6; Heat over Knicks in 5; Pacers over Magic in 5; Hawks over Celtics in 7.
                    Semis: Bulls over Hawks in 5; Heat over Pacers in 7.
                    Final: Heat over Bulls in 7.
                    West
                    Spurs over Jazz in 5; Thunder over Mavs in 6; Lakers over Nuggets in 7; Grizzlies over Clippers in 6.
                    Semis: Spurs over Grizzlies in 7; Thunder over Lakers in 5.
                    Final: Thunder over Spurs in 7.
                    For all the marbles: Thunder over Heat in 6.

                      With the NBA playoffs tipping off Saturday, the Heat remain the favorites to capture the title. The Bulls are the No. 2 pick at 3-1 odds, while the Thunder come in at 4-1. The Thunder are tabbed as the favorites to claim the Western Conference title, meaning they will meet the Heat in the final.
