Can the OKC Thunder do it?

Currently tied 2-2 with the Lakers. It would totally screw up my brackets if they could eliminate the Lakers but it would be kind of fun to see all the same.

Brackets?

What is this the NCAAtourney? Who does NBA playoff brackets?

I don't think they have much of a chance. They won't win game 5 and the NBA won't let the lakers lose game 7 at home.

Yeah the Phoenix books offered NBA playoff brackets. 1 bracket per $200 of deposits, I think it is. Between Wagerchief and BetPhoenix I have about 20 of them. There are prizes for best and worst brackets and I filled out about half of mine going for best result and half hoping to lose.

I believe I have LAL in all ~10 of my good brackets - so the upset wrecks them all - and I have OKC in all the brackets I hope to crap out in - so the upset wrecks those too.

I guess I have to cheer for the LAkers but some part of me wants OKC really bad.

Oooh, forgot about that, I got a bunch of those brackets at Phoenix.

Go Lakers.

Currently +266 at Pinnacle for the series, I took them early for a lot nicer price. And, watching the matches, I think they've got a really good chance. Of course home court advantage will probably kill them in the end but I really fancy their chances for taking 1 of 2 in LA.

Good job Polaroid.

I think the OKC has a very reasonable shot here. I think it would be kinda cool.

I have to keep reminding myself that I only have reason to root for the Lakers. There is no gray area. Just the Lakers.

meh....LAkers will wake up....no chance.

I think someone woke up the Lakers.
