Basketball and the Media

I am an avid Oklahoma City Thunder fan, being from Oklahoma and all.  For those who don't know they are currently playing the L.A. Lakers in the playoffs.  Lately I have been getting upset about the media coverage surrounding this series.  The Lakers have usually been a great basketball team and they have won many championships and make it to the playoffs nearly every year.  OKC is a pretty young team but they are still a great team.  However, every article I read and every postgame discussion I hear about the games, which OKC has won 3 of 4, is about how the Lakers are just not playing their best and if they were then OKC wouldn't have a chance.  To me this is so disrespectful to a team who has been WINNING because they are obviously the BETTER team.  I'm sick of hearing the various media outlets discredit their skill by saying it's not that OKC is playing great, it's that the Lakers are playing poorly.  It just makes me realize, yet again, how biased the most media sources are.  Just because a team has been good in the past does not mean that they have what it takes to be a championship team every year.  This year is the OKC Thunder's year and I hope the every one who has been ragging on them feel real stupid when they win it all!  THUNDER UP!!!!
