Lakers vs Thunder: Playoff Sim

I completed my rating and tendency edits for the Lakers and Thunder as I was very interested in seeing some cpu game data between these two teams. Here goes nothing.

PLAYER PERFORMANCE

Kobe Bryant: He toyed with Sefolosha at times, particularly in the post. Only hit one mid-range shot, everything else was Inside or Close range.

Andrew Bynum: Was simply too big for OKC - scored 16 points in the first half. The Lakers were +24 on points in the paint which is why they won the game.

Pau Gasol: Relatively quiet offensive game but came up big late in the 4th to seal it. Dominated the glass.

Kevin Durant: Scored from all over the court, just like in real life.

Russell Westbrook: Couldn't get it going in the half court game, as most of his points came on fastbreaks. Used his speed advantage over Fisher to create shots for others instead, as Gasol/Bynum were usually waiting for him at the rim.

Nenad Krstic: Had a decent offensive game but couldn't handle the Lakers imposing center duo of Gasol and Bynum (5 fouls in 30 mins).

All in all I thought this was a realistic showing of what we can expect once the playoffs begin, with one caveat. Andrew Bynum is returning from an injury in real life, and even Phil Jackson doesn't know how many minutes he'll play (much less if he'll even start). If there's any demand, I'll run another sim with Odom and Gasol starting with Bynum's minutes limited to about 15 and see how that affects things.
