Anyone actually think the Mavs have a chance tonight

[Amarelooms]

Let it be know that the Mavs will lose...possibly big today. Lakers coming off a spanking by the mighty Spurs. Mavs without only real big man in Damp. Kobe mad as hell. Terry and JHo gonna be chunking up jumpers left and right. Could get ugly my friends

:elephant

[Thunder Dan]

Mavs will win 108-89

[BRHornet45]

son as much as I hate the city of Dallas, they should easily win tonight. Even with the refs helping Kobe the Lakers are in trouble. Without their team leader Gasol on the floor, they don't stand a chance.

but hey don't worry ... Kobe will get his usual 25-30 points from jacking up 24 shots so ESPN will have a nice headline. "Kobe was a warrior yet again playing injured, but his teammates couldn't help!"

[badfish22]

Mavs win.

[Shank]

Damp is supposed to play.

[Obstructed_View]

The Mavs are supposed to be far better than the Spurs, so they shouldn't have any problems with a Laker team on the second night of a B2B. ;)

[spursncowboys]

The Lakers will win this one if they feed it to their big men all game. Who will guard Artest? Howard?

[Findog]

No Gasol, a banged-up Kobe, three days off, the Lakers on the road in the 2nd night of a b2b, and they embarrassed the Mavs the last time they played...it's inexcusable if Dallas doesn't win tonight.

[Findog]

Of course the Lakers are going to be pissed about their poor showing in San Antonio, so I'm expecting a Laker victory. I still don't trust this Mavs team to take care of business when it needs to do so.

[sonic21]

Road game against a good team...
Should be a blowout for the mavs.

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs will lose by 50 with Kobe outscoring the mavs at half time. Kobe sits out the second half.

Good road record, good record against +.500 teams...different than last years team in that regard. I sure as hell trust this Mavs team :)... they're just a little inconsistent.

We're the favorites tonight, dunno why anyone would "expect" a loss, although it could happen.

[Ghazi]

Even though it's just a regular season game this is a gut check game. I'm calling this shit a must win :)

When a team beats you by 35 points you HAVE to respond with a win in a rematch less than 2 weeks later! Especially when that team is a measuring stick like the Lakers.

back to back, no Gasol, Kobe injured, home game, lost by 35 last time.... really this will be a very depressing loss if the Mavs fall short tonight.

[urunobili]

easy Mavs win no question

[TheMACHINE]

if the mavs lose this one......oh boy.

[j.dizzle]

If the Mavs lose tonight their will be atleast 10 LMAO threads tonight..No excuses..LA cant score more then 100 without Kobe & Pau & we all know Lamar will disappear like David Copperfield.

this...

kori's gonna be busy locking up threads.

[Spursmania]

if the mavs lose this one......oh boy.

[Spursmania]

I'm glad to hear Damp is playing. We'll know early on if it's going to be a tight game or not.

[j.dizzle]

Lets see how Bynums bitch ass plays vs Damp.I say 2 quick fouls in the first 5 min for the youngster..Looks like Mbenga will play 15-20 min tonight hahaha

Come on dude, be optimistic, we all know Erica is as soft as a cup of strawberry jello

[Dex]

Is Dampier playing?

[Basketballgirl25]

ok, I really don't care who wins this game and this is a game I would usually pick the team who lost the last night to win, but since Mavs lost bad to the Lakers last time they play, I can't pick the team to win, because I think both teams will be fired up. Should be a good game win or lose for borth teams. Unless it's a big loss like last time the teams played

Can someone translate this horseshit?

[badfish22]

OH SHIT! Light up the blunts cause smokey is back in the starting lineup :toast

glad that Puerto Rican fucker is out.

[badfish22]

Oh son of a bitch, just heard Damp might not be playing. If so this game means nothing.

[JamStone]

Wow a pre-game jinx really necessary?

That worried about losing to an undermanned, injured Lakers team?

[MavDynasty]

Damps not warming up according to db.com. Bynum is going to have a field day!

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck Dampier is a bitch. Missing the Lakers game twice? Man up Erica.

Good point. This is probably as much a measuring stick game for Dallas as last night's was for the Spurs, albeit for different reasons.

[mystargtr34]

If Dampier plays the Mavs win... if he sits they will lose.







Seriously.

[Obstructed_View]

Seriously.

The Mavs have been waiting for Damp to be a difference maker since they signed him. If only they could have signed him to a series of one year contracts...

[clambake]

lamar will drop 40 on the mavs tonight.

[mavsfan1000]

No way the Lakers lose tonight. It's just not happening.

[badfish22]

Stop trying to use reverse jinx. Mavs win.

[Fpoonsie]

The game hasn't even STARTED yet. Isn't it a bit early for a jinx/anti-jinx thread?

Grow a dick.

Grow a dick.

exactly. Man up and show some confidence.

Plus Damp is starting.

[mavsfan1000]

Dampier getting embarrassed by Bynum.

[pauls931]

Mavs have this locked up, Lakers are missing their MVP.

[ezau]

if the Mavs lose, wow.

[sribb43]

Mavs are missing Najera and Thomas so both teams injuries are equal
