Judging from the result of their first playoff game vs the thunder, the lakers seem to have difficulty managing their opponent. They were not really impressive in their game. Although, this is only game 1, many are expecting a lot from the lakers. This early, should we push the panic button?

It's too early to push the panic button but I can't say for sure right now because I haven't had the opportunity of watching their games lately especially their first playoffs game. Lakers have been known to be late bloomers in playoffs but also sometimes turns out to be a major disappointment. I just hope and pray Lakers will make it all through the playoffs unto the finals. Go Kobe!

No, as we saw Game 1, the Lakers control the game from start to finish, they were never threatened even if the Thunder surge a late rally.

Yes your right, they were not that impressive against the thunder but you forget to mention that they have won. Although Kobe is struggling due to his injured right knee and broken index finger, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum did well to dominate inside the paint. Its too early to get worried I believe the Lakers will just be fine. Beat LA Beat LA :)
