Dirk is the man tonight, but that is a fucked up comparison:nope

[peskypesky]

[Man In Black]

Thank The man above this ain't LG. If it was, this place would bitch all about refs and ft counts. The LAL played like the letters for their airport.

[My Fault]

Everyone who says the Lakers don't need Gasol...

LOL people making fun of the Mavs after game 1.

[ginobili's bald spot]

WTF Dirk getting bitched by Sasha. Blair would have thrown that puta into the 4th row.

:lol Tell us again how good Farmar is...

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Lakerfan who argues LA would be a contender without the Gasol trade has issues.

[peskypesky]

then again, Lakers are without Gasol tonight...spurs had everyone last night...so this Lakers loss doesn't make me feel any better.

[ElNono]

Is Humphries the first white stiff to talk shit to Kobe at the staples and get away with it?

[DPG21920]

40 years old sons.

[milkshakeballa]

And I bet I'm still going to hear fukin Laker fans trying to tell me fucking Pau aint important.....lol fuckn idiots

good game mavs...marion looks fukni great

[iggypop123]

thanks alot deadspin. i knew they would try to refute the story by showing the public the mavs can get calls too

[LA24]

Marion looks like a great pick up so far.

[Jeremy]

Congrats mavfans. These wins in STAPLES are rare so enjoy it. :toast

I thought the Mavs always win at Staples?

[LA24]

LOL people making fun of the Mavs after game 1.

It was mostly the spurs fans.

[milkshakeballa]

Lakerfan who argues LA would be a contender without the Gasol trade has issues.

lol this x fukin INFINITI

[ginobili's bald spot]

Is Humphries the first white stiff to talk shit to Kobe at the staples and get away with it?

Yup. By the looks of tonight it might be happening more and more. Kobe looked like garbage.

[ElNono]

LOL Cubes wants to give head to Marion... :lmao

[DPG21920]

Farmar, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my Farmar's basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm playing until I'm forty-three.

Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Farmar come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat

[LA24]

then again, Lakers are without Gasol tonight...spurs had everyone last night...so this Lakers loss doesn't make me feel any better.

With the beat down the Lakers got...Gasol probably wouldn't have made any difference.

[HarlemHeat37]

Adam Morrison vs. Matt Carroll..battle of the titans..

[milkshakeballa]

i will go ahead and predict the lakers are going to have a VERY VERY hard time beating ATL on sunday IF gasol doesn't play

[Def Rowe]

:lol Tell us again how good Farmar is...

Seriously. Perfect example tonight of what Farmar brings.

[Ginobilly]

And I bet I'm still going to hear fukin Laker fans trying to tell me fucking Pau aint important.....lol fuckn idiots

good game mavs...marion looks fukni great

If you'll don't want Gasol we will take him!! Bonner/Finley for Gasol??:rollin

[DPG21920]

It was mostly the spurs fans.

And? LOL Spurs fans then.

[mystargtr34]

Vujacic looks like a 16 year old school girl going through her experimental lesbian phase.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I thought the Mavs always win at Staples?

:lol Seriously?

[Roxsfan]

Did Gasol have a yeast infection or wtf??

why is he out?

cramping?

Seriously,

does he have tender breasts or is he bloated?

That time of the month?

[dirk4mvp]

New Mavs alternates karma :smokin

[djohn2oo8]

They are murdering Matt Carroll lol

[timvp]

Jerry West's greatness is on full display tonight.

[DPG21920]

Seriously. Perfect example tonight of what Farmar brings.

You could say that for your entire team.

[sribb43]

LOL Cubes wants to give head to Marion... :lmao

He should get some tips from Barea

[Ginobilly]

With the beat down the Lakers got...Gasol probably wouldn't have made any difference.

Wrong. Gasol opens up the offense for Lamar and the rest of the Lakers Scrubs.

[lurker]

Since 22-1 is a lock for the Lakers according to some, it's nice that our boys in blue will be that 1.

[redzero]

[mystargtr34]

LMAO @ JVG on Matt Carrol...

[LA24]

...at least we didn't lose to a cellar dweller.

[iggypop123]

wow its not like the mavs were amazing. 42% for them. stupid lakers id rather tank 2 games and have gasol 100% anyways

[sribb43]

Mavs might have woken up a sleeping giant...feel sorry for the rest of the teams coming up on La's schedule

[My Fault]

Then all the Mav fans who had no faith in them... Gotta give it to em they wanted it and played a good game

[DPG21920]

...at least we didn't lose to a cellar dweller.

What does that have to do with the Lakers loss? This is about the Lakers, not the other teams. Stay focused.

[picc84]

And I bet I'm still going to hear fukin Laker fans trying to tell me fucking Pau aint important.....lol fuckn idiots

good game mavs...marion looks fukni great

Dont blame this on no Pau. He's not gonna make Kobe hit his jumpshots, he's not gonna improve Lamar's ballhandling, he's not gonna make Jordan, Fish, and Artest not be idiots either. 80 points is a 3rd quarter score LA with Gasol or not.

[Banzai]

...at least we didn't lose to a cellar dweller.

That will happen soon enough.

[redzero]

Man, man, man, man, man. Learn how to talk, Marion.

[LA24]

Ah well, it's a LONG ass season. Next game...

[sribb43]

...at least we didn't lose to a cellar dweller.

A cording to some idiot spurs fans after Tuesday night we were a lock for 30 wins

[Allanon]

Kobe's gotta do better than 6-19 and not roam so much on defense. This one's on him.

[milkshakeballa]

kobes ALWAYS struggles at the beginning of the year...no worries

[DPG21920]

A cording to some idiot spurs fans after Tuesday night we were a lock for 30 wins

Some idiot Mavs fans were melting down to. But at least they got to troll the Spurs board :tu

[in2deep]

milkshake who's the crossdressing gay guy in your sig?

[milkshakeballa]

Dont blame this on no Pau. He's not gonna make Kobe hit his jumpshots, he's not gonna improve Lamar's ballhandling, he's not gonna make Jordan, Fish, and Artest not be idiots either. 80 points is a 3rd quarter score LA with Gasol or not.


Please.....Pau is the fuking difference for Kobe...for LO.....for the whole team....

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Suns 2-0
Lakers 1-1

That lead's only gonna get bigger.

[Jeremy]

:lol Seriously?

ok, i looked it up--they're at least competitive both home and away the last couple seasons against the Lakers.

[NRHector]

Good game Mavs:toast

[picc84]

Lakers have looked d-league first two games. Gasol out is no excuse.

[iggypop123]

refs were pretty bad 32 ft -14 but the lakers really had no rythm on offense tonight. the mavs tried to give the game away in the 4th and the lakers repsonded by missing 4 in a row. its a long season and id rather sacrifice a loss to a playoff team for a healthy gasol

[ElNono]

Mavs with the beating and ESPN is all over Shannon Brown's dunk... :lol

[picc84]

Please.....Pau is the fuking difference for Kobe...for LO.....for the whole team....

Difference of a championship. Not for barely beating the Clippers and getting blown out by the fucking MAVS.

[Roxsfan]

Mavs might have woken up a sleeping giant...feel sorry for the rest of the teams coming up on La's schedule

fuck the fakers.........

[milkshakeballa]

Mavs with the beating and ESPN is all over Shannon Brown's dunk... :lol

ah come on! that shit was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeremy]

Suns 2-0
Lakers 1-1

That lead's only gonna get bigger.

Incredibly there are only 3 teams in the West and 4 in the East that are still undefeated.

[LA24]

Suns 2-0
Lakers 1-1

That lead's only gonna get bigger.

:lol

[Ginobilly]

Please.....Pau is the fuking difference for Kobe...for LO.....for the whole team....

True. He's a versatile playmaking big man(kinda like Shaq/Duncan) who opens up the Offense for the Lakers Scrubs, (Sasha, Fischer, Farmar, Lamar, Bynum) and makes their lives easier.

without Gasol = 2005 to 2007 Lakers.

[mattb_25]

I've been sayin man.. Marion is a fuckin' badass player. Much better than Rich for spurs or Shaq for the Cavs....

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Mavs with the beating and ESPN is all over Shannon Brown's dunk... :lol

That was the only lakers highlight, what do you expect?

[sribb43]

Shannon Brown owns Josh Powell

[Banzai]

Suns 2-0
Lakers 1-1

That lead's only gonna get bigger.

Yes the Lakers will pass the Suns.

[iggypop123]

Suns 2-0
Lakers 1-1

That lead's only gonna get bigger.

congratulations for tying the thunder for first place in the west!

[Allanon]

Lakers have looked d-league first two games. Gasol out is no excuse.

This.

[in2deep]

Mavs with the beating and ESPN is all over Shannon Brown's dunk... :lol

hey that James White guy can get some highlight. maybe the Lakers can sign him?

[dirk4mvp]

wow a marilyn mason song on sportscenter is killing my hard on

[peskypesky]

Lakers have looked d-league first two games. Gasol out is no excuse.

You can say it's not an excuse, but it is an explanation. Same as Garnett's absence torpedoed the Celtics last year, or Manu's absence sank the Spurs. When two elite teams are playing, if one of the teams is missing one of it's top players, that team is at a disadvantage. it's really that simple.

so mavs are elite now?

Tis is correct.

[badfish22]

Good game guys. Props to the Mavs. Pau Gasol wouldn't have made any difference today. :toast
Thanks dude, good game :toast



Adam Morrison vs. Matt Carroll..battle of the titans..
:lol The announcers were absolutely destroying carroll. Anyone else hear that? Mark Jackson said "If I saw him running up at the YMCA id say "no man, you got next" :lol



He should get some tips from Barea
:lmao



Alright, now to the game. I gotta admit, I have to eat some major crow here (and happily). I said before the game that the Mavs would lead most of the game, only to chock it away in the 4th (happens everytime agaisnt lake show). So I didnt get my hopes up at all when that started to happen.

But the diference this time was defense and easy baskets. Both of which came in Marion. Great game for him, as he forced a lot of TO's once JJ finally went back to the bench to polish Carilsle off. Also Dirk had a few defensive plays of his own. Gotta give props to Damp too. He had a great game for his standards.

Maybe the Mavs were being serious when they said they were gonna focus on D this year. who knows

Now we gotta focus on the Clips for tomorrow. Dont wanna take a night off. They still got some talent there.

[picc84]

I disagree. Simply for the fact that we've looked SO bad the first two games. Barely beating the Clippers at home on ring night, and then getting blown out at home against the Mavericks? The team collectively looking like they are playing drunk? The Mavs aren't that good, and they didnt even play that good. We just played horrifically worse. A team as strong as LA is supposed to be doesn't wilt with the loss of one player. And in the first two games we have.

[DPG21920]

Mavs were elite no matter what happened this game. Or at least to the same degree the Cavs, Spurs and Orlando were.

[badfish22]

You gotta remember we were w/o Howard. And we still beat them by a pretty good amount. I think we earned this win.

[iggypop123]

so mavs are elite now?

he shouldnt confuse playoff team with elite. like i said the mavs werent amazing tonight they only shot 42, but the lakers were far worse

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Go mavs

suck on it kobe you rapist fuck

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I don't think Gasol would've made a difference. Everybody was off. One of those bad games you would like to forget about it.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

You gotta remember we were w/o Howard. And we still beat them by a pretty good amount. I think we earned this win.

:toast

[The Third Man]

Tsakalidis/Dirk/Battier/Eddie Jones/Chucky Atkins/Miller/B Jackson vs. Pau/Howard/Terry/Diop/Stackhouse/Damp/Harris

Pau would fucking sweep that series too.....do you really not agree with this?

That is so fucking dense. Pau Gasol is a fine player, but the idea that he is remotely close to Dirk is silly.

[ElNono]

Go mavs

suck on it kobe you rapist fuck

:wow



:lmao

[Banzai]

Go mavs

suck on it kobe you rapist fuck

don't be a dumb fuck.

[ginobili's bald spot]

suck on it kobe you rapist fuck



:lmao U mad?

[Morg1411]

Holy fuck. Great win, Mavs! This is one Spurs fan who won't be talking nonsense shit about Dallas for awhile: the Mavs played like a bunch of seasoned badasses tonight. (Granted, Lakers played like ass...much like the Spurs performance in Chicago...but hey...)

Oh, and Kidd's cross-court leaping pass to Terry for the open three was pretty God-damned neat. :tu

[badfish22]

Loved the defense we played on Kobe. Even if he got by our first guy, there would be another guy waiting for him at the basket to challenge his shot. Happened a lot in the 4th. I think this might be called help defense, but I haven't seen it in so long im not sure.

[picc84]

Trade everyone.

[picc84]

http://i38.tinypic.com/ixbhaw.jpg

17 milly right there.

[hater]

:lol

[NRHector]

http://i38.tinypic.com/ixbhaw.jpg

17 milly right there.yeah they suck

[picc84]

And gotdamn Derek Fisher sucks. If his shot isnt falling, which it usually isn't, he's completely gotdamn useless. He should be cryogenically frozen and saved for the last 30 seconds of big games and thats it. If it wasn't for those two shots in game 4 vs Orlando he would have had the worst playoffs of anyone in the league but all anyone wants to talk about is his clutch shooting and vet leadership. Vet leadership aint taking dumb shots out of the offense you have no chance of hitting, bricking open shots, and making passes you have no chance of completing.

Fish plays, lead balloons, Shannon comes in, lead goes away, Fish comes back in, lead balloons again. Motherfuck, Phil, it isnt that hard to see.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol lakers bench consist of mainly white guys, explains why they have a shit bench....

[badfish22]

Shannon Brown is a beast. He should get more minutes than Farmar and Vujabitch but together.

[Allanon]

http://i38.tinypic.com/ixbhaw.jpg

17 milly right there.

Ouch.

[daslicer]

lol lakers bench consist of mainly white guys, explains why they have a shit bench....

I thought I was the only person that noticed that tonight. I don't know but I would say Ian,Hairston,Haislip,>Morrison,Walton,Vujabitch and that is how bad the Lakers bench is.

[pauls931]

Holy crap, just got back and checked the scores. congrats Dallas, I never would've thunk it...

[Basketballgirl25]

so mavs are elite now?

Mavs aren't elite, they had one good game so far. I'd say they were like Lee when he was pitching wanted to steal a game, which I think they will need to do with many teams this season:toast

[Texas Chili Dog]

I love the new unis... a lot.

[La Peace]

Mavs played like a much better team, won handedly. Lakers gotta learn to play together. But we got 80 more games to fix that. Thats that as far as I am concerned.

[ginobili's bald spot]

ok, i looked it up--they're at least competitive both home and away the last couple seasons against the Lakers.

The Mavs are like 4-33 against the Lakers in L.A. Dumbass. Everyone knows this. Lurk more.

[picc84]

I thank Derek for his clutch shots but the thought of him on the court for the first 47 minutes scares the bejeezus out of me.

And he wants to sign a new contract after this year? *sigh* I'd prefer a move to the coaching staff but loyalty is loyalty, and I refuse to trade him....

Next year, whatever happens this year, Shannon should be the only PG on the roster still in purple and gold out on the court. Fish, Farmar (and Sasha)....it was a nice run, guys, but you're holding the team back. People forget that last year we won the title in spite of the bench and Fisher (mostly). That will not happen again with the improvements of the other teams. Deepest and most talented team my ass.
