Playoffs are a different animal altogether. Much has been said about the team finding their ‘switch’ to turn on and certainly they have been less than stellar down the stretch. However, this is when the experience factor matters. Defense will dictate this series, at least early on. Thats why Artest was brought to L.A. Hopefully he shows his real value during these playoffs. (I’m an Ariza apologist). The Lakers always seem to find their footing when they start playing team D. Once the Thunder realize they cannot put together dominant runs during the first two games they will wilt. Lakers in 5. The one loss is due to a ‘lapse game’ In Okla.
