Mavs/Lakers

[Ghazi]

Mavs 27 Lakers 30 after 1.

Some "decent" stuff by the Mavs. George/Kidd hittin 3's. Mavs have made 5 threes, Lakers shooting around 40% and they're still up 3. That's kinda a bad omen I guess.

Wright/GReen got into early foul trouble. Each had a basket.

[sook]

Pau is just owning Dirk in the low post

[Anti.Hero]

Trade for bass Pop.

[Anti.Hero]

holy shit bass

[Findog]

This is shaping up as a typical loss at Staples. We'll hang tough until the final minutes and then Kobe will put us away.

[Reck]

Wow two bad calls on the mavs.

[Findog]

Wow two bad calls on the mavs.

Steve Javie for you.

[Banzai]

nice dunk by bass...still plenty of time left in the game.

[Ghazi]

37-34. Mavs bench outplaying Lakers bench thus far.

Terry just got shafted IMO.

sook, how is Gasol making a hook shot with no help defense for Dirk "owning Dirk" . Jesus.

[Armando]

Lakers will likely win this one. I can't see the Mavs winning at Staples.

[Findog]

Historically Dirk has curbstomped Gasol. See 2006 first-round series, Mavs-Grizzlies.

[Banzai]

interesting game.

[Findog]

The fuck is up with Barea? He's never played this great.

[sook]

dirk can't stop him in the lowpost, even if he isn't just shooting he is opening things up for the lakers.


BTW...nice job so far Mavs I'm rootin for ya

[Findog]

Damn, Barea looks like an actual NBA player out there.

[sook]

The fuck is up with Barea? He's never played this great.

Him and bass have this thing going, he is really setting him up for high % shots

[Armando]

Historically Dirk has curbstomped Gasol. See 2006 first-round series, Mavs-Grizzlies.


See Duncan 2004

See Amare 2005

See KG/Powe/Davis/Perkins 2008

[Banzai]

Barea? wow lol..never knew he could play that good.

[mVp]

LOL @ the Lakers getting owned by Barea :lol

[Ghazi]

Wow, Who the HELL saw this coming from barea? getting to the lane and converting at will against one of the best defenses in the NBA? FEARLESS!

Dirk unintentionally got a long rest due to Bass's free throws. He might be a little cold coming out.

[Findog]

See Duncan 2004

See Amare 2005

Gasol is such a pussy. He looked terrified in the Finals against Boston. He's got to wake up every day and thank the Lord he plays alongside Kobe.

[Kriz-Maxima]

LOL great defense by the Lakers i guess.

[Banzai]

wtf that guy took like 5 steps rofl...

[lurker]

I've been lonely on the JJ Barea bandwagon since he first signed with the Mavs. :lol He's got a lot of potential.

[timtonymanu]

Barea sucks!

[ShoogarBear]

That was a HORRENDOUS 2-on-1.

[ShoogarBear]

Still scored, though.

[Banzai]

thank goodness halftime.

[Ghazi]

Dammit that Terry 3 was so close to going in lol. Could easily be 60-51 here.

Good half from the Mavs.

WE shot a high %. but I wouldnt call it "hot shooting"... Id call it good execution.

[sook]

Is terry automatic on a fast break everytime? Even if he has to shoot the outside J?

Mavs looking awesome i think they may have finally turned the corner.

With TP , Manu and T-Mac all coming back this week the order in the the SW division

seems to be restored.

[sribb43]

Bill Walton is a LA dick rider...anyways mavs always play lakers well for 40 minutes then fold at the Staples Center

[Anti.Hero]

Walton rides whoever is the flavor of the month.

My boy Walton is still showing love to the Spurs though.
.

And you can tell he still hates Shaq :lol

[Findog]

Bill Walton is a LA dick rider...anyways mavs always play lakers well for 40 minutes then fold at the Staples Center

QFT. I've already penciled this in as a loss.

[sribb43]

Kobe will shoot 10+ FT in the 4th...book it

[Ghazi]

58.5% for the Mavs. 36.5% for Lakers.

Reason it's close despite that disparity is offensive rebounding by the Lakers and turnovers by the Mavs.

Cmon Findog, have some faith. We can easily lose this game, but the bench play is encouraging tonight.

[Allanon]

Ugly first half by the Lakrs, Mavs have been looking pretty solid for over about 2 weeks now, hopefully the Lakers wake up.

[sribb43]

Gotta love the token shooting guard starter Gerald Green. Whats the point of even playing him if he is not going to play the rest of the game...seems like that would jack up the guys confidence

Oh and I guess the Carlisle Hames Singleton love fest is over. Its not good when this team is 15 games into the season and we dont have a clue what our rotation is

[Findog]

Cmon Findog, have some faith. We can easily lose this game, but the bench play is encouraging tonight.

I've been a Mavericks fan since 1987. I know of what I speak.

[Findog]

Barea at the 2 to start the second half? WTF is Carlisle smoking? We got 5 good minutes out of him in the first half, don't push it.

[Anti.Hero]

Barea is owning the shit ouf of L.A.

[Findog]

Oh you Mavs, teasing us by opening up a 9-pt lead.

[sribb43]

:lol at Mark Jackson

"We are turning back the hands of time...JJ is dynomite!!!!"

[sribb43]

Oh you Mavs, teasing us by opening up a 9-pt lead.

I wish this was happening in the mid to late 4th quarter because you just have his feeling that LA will make that patent run against the Mavs

[Findog]

I wish this was happening in the mid to late 4th quarter because you just have his feeling that LA will make that patent run against the Mavs

I've seen this game many times before.

[Ghazi]

Yeah, I have that feeling too. I just hope OONE TIME WE CAN ABSORB IT.

CMON MAVS, DONT BREAK MY HEART TONIGHT.

[ShoogarBear]

Barea is owning the shit ouf of Mav Fan.

[Findog]

Yeah, I have that feeling too. I just hope OONE TIME WE CAN ABSORB IT.

CMON MAVS, DONT BREAK MY HEART TONIGHT.

I'm totally numb. I totally expect us to blow this, so I won't be upset.

[BUMP]

QFT. I've already penciled this in as a loss.




I've been a Mavericks fan since 1987. I know of what I speak.

+1

anyone who thinks the Mavs will win this game, must not know about their history at Staples.

[ShoogarBear]

What is the Mavs' record at Staples?

[Findog]

What is the Mavs' record at Staples?

I think we've won maybe 3 or 4 games EVER at Staples.

[ShoogarBear]

Hokey smokes. The Lakers never get those calls against them at Staples.

[tomtom]

Go mavs go :)

[Reck]

I hope the Mavs dont melt in the 4th.

I want Lakers to fail and at the same time Mavs to lose..catch 22. lol

Oh well though the Mavs will still be like half a game behind San Antonio anyway.

[Ghazi]

good timeout by Carlisle.

Ugh, Ariza is killin us.

And I wish Wright didn't slip. We had a steal there!

[ShoogarBear]

This is a Rasheed Wallace game. Both teams playing hard.

[Findog]

Here comes Dick Breath!

[Findog]

Gasol was a bullshit collusion trade, but they got a steal in Ariza. I really like him.

[Findog]

Hadn't even noticed Smokey isn't playing tonight.

[Armando]

Good defense and Gasol don't belong in the same sentence

[Findog]

Collapse comes early.

[Armando]

Mavs unraveling

[crc21209]

Even though Dallas is in our division I wanted the Lakers to lose this game because people are sucking them off too much but now the Mavs are choking. Devean George on Kobe? Really?

[baseline bum]

WTF is George yelling at? And why were LA fans booing him? For gravy-training 3 titles on Shaq and Kobe's back?

[Armando]

WTF is George yelling at? And why were LA fans booing him? For gravy-training 3 titles on Shaq and Kobe's back?



He was yelling because no other Mav came to help on Kobe on the last Laker possesion.

[baseline bum]

George is really fucking pathetic.

[crc21209]

Wow the lead comes apart all because of George. He "attempts" to guard Kobe and then turning it over.

[Reck]

There is the late third quarter colapse.

[baseline bum]

Bass rejected by the rim. Ouch.

[Findog]

Fucking pathetic, but it's the Mavs, so what's new?

[ShoogarBear]

Getting outmuscled by Pau Gasol?

[ShoogarBear]

25-point turnaround? What the hell kind of math is that?

[Ghazi]

Time to find out if the Mavs have some wherewithal or not.

Guys let's not act like this is a "Mavs thing"... the Lakers have been doing this to a lot of people. Spurs last year in the playoffs, Nets just the other night.

Game of runs, and the Lakers are just really good at runs.

[tomtom]

sigh. should've known better

[sribb43]

The run happened in the 3rd this time instead of the 4th...at least i want have my hopes up with 6 minutes left in the game. The game is over....

[crc21209]

25 point turn around? Wouldnt that mean L.A. would be leading by about 11 or 12? lol What a jackass someone get that guy out of the booth! BANG! lol

[sribb43]

happens everytime the mavs play in staples the last 3-4 years

[Findog]

12 pt lead to 2 pt deficit works out to 14 pt swing. Glad I'm watching the local broadcast and not the ESPN fucktards.

[sribb43]

The mavs blow their leads quicker than anyone in the NBA

[Vinnie_Johnson]

What's Up Dallas?:toast

[sribb43]

its time to take Dick Breath out of the game...what is he, -16 +/- since entering the game

[Lp26]

Stop choking Dallas :bang

[crc21209]

George continuing to fuck it up lol someone cut that guy. lol George scored on by Kobe! BANG! Again! lol. George with the turnover! George blocked! lol.

[ShoogarBear]

George is really fucking pathetic.

[crc21209]

George just burned by Ariza. lol

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, when are the LA-Boston and LA-Cavs games?

[Findog]

George's entry into the game coincided with LA going on what is it now, a 17-0 run?

[sribb43]

JJ Barea's time is up....he had his moments and now the Lakers figured him out and he is useless on the floor

[ShoogarBear]

That was some boolsheet by Ariza.

[Findog]

Kidd in for Barea, why isn't Dirk in for Dick Breath?

[sribb43]

George's entry into the game coincided with LA going on what is it now, a 17-0 run?

yep and some reason he is still on the floor. what does Carlisle think that bc he played with Kobe and in LA and has 3 rings that he will help this team win:(

[Armando]

I still can't believe that the Mavs were up 13 with 6 minutes to go and a 3-0 lead in the Finals. 2 years later they are not even in the conversation of "legit" contenders(Phoenix included). They have pretty much the same core group sans Harris and they actually regressed since then even with Kidd running the point.

[ShoogarBear]

George is -16. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, this is sad.

[lurker]

Has Mark Cuban sent an email to Stern requesting the 4th quarter be removed from games yet?

[sribb43]

whats the point of watching Lakers Mavs games at Staples...all it does is piss me off

[Armando]

Has Mark Cuban sent an email to Stern requesting the 4th quarter be removed from games yet?



Nah too busy doing insider trading

[Findog]

Like I said, Ariza and George subbing in at the same time turned the tide.

[sribb43]

Nah too busy doing insider trading

:sleep

[dieman8686]

12 pt lead to 2 pt deficit works out to 14 pt swing. Glad I'm watching the local broadcast and not the ESPN fucktards.

Thanks for telling me didn't know it was on local, gay biased shit on ESPN.

[sribb43]

Why does the Mavs organization believe in George year after year?

[Allanon]

Bynum laying the wood on Dampier so far tonight - 18 pts, 10 rebounds. Damp 0 pts, 2 rebounds.

The pecking order has been restored.

[Findog]

Just can't get stops

[sribb43]

Mavs getting raped by Ariza again

[sribb43]

Fuck Carlisle for inserting Dick Breathe

Pull the starters rest them for SAC

[Lakers_55]

The mavs blow their loads quicker than anyone in the NBA

fixed....that's what I thought you typed when I read through quickly...

[ShoogarBear]

Dont forget about the LA/Spurs games.

I know when those are.

[ShoogarBear]

What is that thing growing off of the top of Rick Carilsle's head?

[sribb43]

No J-Ho = more Devean George = no chance

[sribb43]

Fuck it....hopefully J-Kidd will at least get a triple double

[Bob Lanier]

Lamar Odom's unwillingness to get fouled will be a problem for this team.

[Allanon]

Kobe is so clutch, wow.

[Banzai]

crazy game.

[monosylab1k]

The Mavs are the Mavs, the Lakers are the Lakers. The game played out exactly how I thought it would.

Nice of Dampier to be about as useful as an asshole on your elbow this game. And fuck Devean George.

[monosylab1k]

Why does the Mavs organization believe in George year after year?

He's a savvy veteran. And by savvy, I mean a "gets curbstomped repeatedly by Kobe and Trevor Ariza in the 3rd quarter, but makes sure the camera catches him yelling at his teammates like it wasn't his fault" type of savvy.

[sribb43]

Kidd and JET are the only Mavs that have a sack

LOL....ya it must be Terry Stotts fault that George was getting roasted 1 on 1 by Kobe

[monosylab1k]

I still think our offense flows much more smoothly without Josh Howard. Unfortunately we let Devean George fuck everything up for us in the 3rd.

Gerald Green should be getting all minutes allotted to Dick Breath. If that happened tonight, Mavs might have won.

[ShoogarBear]

Good thing he blocked that trade.

[TheMACHINE]

Mavs loves to tease thier fans...they're so mean!

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

No biggies i'm not surprised...just another win against the mavs

[Brickhouse]

Next time Mavs and lakers play, just write in a 10 point lead for the Mavs up until midway through the 3rd quarter ending in a loss.

No need to play though the same thing everytime.

[DrHouse]

It's uncanny how these games play out the exact same way every single time.

[21_Blessings]

The Mavs are the masters at choking. It's like clockwork.

[A Bomb]

The Mavs are the masters at choking. It's like clockwork.



It's not that they choked, it's more so that the Lakers decided it was time to play. Exciting game, but I just don't like how the Lakers are turning it on and off. Kobe's rubbing off on the team in a wrong way, they just turn it on in the 4th quarters thinking they're good enough to win by playing only 12 minutes per game.

apparently they are

but the Lakers have had some wire to wire complete games this year. The Suns game comes to mind.

Well games like this = chuckfest for Kobe and Fisher, with bigger leads they'll be on the bench more. I know that the Lakers will have a better chance to win it all with homecourt advantage, but everytime I see them chucking up bad shots after bad shots, i just wish they get injured for half the year. I'd like nothing more than to see Bynum and Gasol taking 35+shots and dominating inside and getting the other teams bigs in foul trouble.

[IronMexican]

I am glad JVG pointed out Fish's shot selection yesterday. I love Fish, but cmon, man.

[Findog]

You're arguing with literally the dumbest poster on the board.

[SpursDynasty]

The Lakers just aren't that good of a team. They're just making their shots and teams are not making their shots when they play them. Dallas had this team buried. The Lakers are a come from behind team it seems. This won't continue for much longer. If you ask me, I say Boston's 15-2 record is more impressive.
