L.A Lakers vs Dallas mavericks: game blog

[dbestpro]

Haywood really giving Dallas a physical inside identity. He may be the steal of the last minute deals.

[lefty]

That wasn't Marion


That was Bowen !

He did what Hannibal Lecter did to that cop at the end of Silence of the Lambs

He cut off Shawn's face and is wearing tonight as a mask

[milkshakeballa]

LOL @ kobe dribbling the ball for 20 fucking seconds....

Phil put Ron on Kidd in case they run the PnR. Artest is much better suited to guard Dirk than Kobe.

Haywood looks great.

[sribb43]

if we win this...FINALS bitches

[Donkeybong]

i hope you all noticed the rest of the lakers not being able to doing shit with the ball and dumping it off to kobe with 3 on the shot clock.

That being said, kobe is playing fucking terrible.

[DJ Mbenga]

raped on the boards and kobe 0 ft

Haywood really giving Dallas a physical inside identity. He may be the steal of the last minute deals.

Physical identity by getting away with fouls. He's had several over the back fouls and push offs for the rebound, still though, Lakers doing a poor job on the glass.

[Amarelooms]

lol clam the fuck down son...God bless :elephant

What the FUCK is Kobe doin?
Not being bailed out by the refs

[supervietnamlakers]

I think mavs have more weapons than the lakers. why did mitch did not trade for more better talent:bang

[sribb43]

lockdown Kobe now

[dbestpro]

Physical identity by getting away with fouls. He's had several over the back fouls and push offs for the rebound, still though, Lakers doing a poor job on the glass.

That's the way they call it come playoff time.

[Bob Lanier]

Physical identity by getting away with fouls.
Yes, that's what physical identity is.

Basketball is a contact sport.

Uh oh

LOL, it's funny how they allow Fisher to mug/hold Terry the entire possession, and then call the foul on Terry.

[sribb43]

Odom = MVP

[sribb43]

Set up for another Kobe game winner.

:depressed

[milkshakeballa]

Wow LO coming up clutch here. 2 HUGE plays. Surprise Kobe gave it up to him in the corner.

Down 3 50 seconds left. They are going to go to Dirk. Just need to play him straight up and keep him 15 ft + out. DO NOT SWITCH. Make sure LO is on him.

Problem with Fisher is who do you sit him for? Farmar REFUSES to play any defense and Shannon is not adept or knows how to fight through screens at this point. Look at him vs. Ray Allen.

Good game tho.

[Amarelooms]

choke. fuck the mavs.

Not a choke idiot...Odom hitting some shots....Lakers are good dummy :elephant

Nobody will remember that missed three by Kobe tomorrow.

they will say his ankle, hand, finger, wrist, quad was sore bc of the b2b

[DazedAndConfused]

Lakers didn't have it tonight.

Horrible game from Gasol. He has turned into Kwame Brown with his butterfinger hands.

The chemistry just isn't there for the Lakers this year. Something is wrong.

lol terry is such a punk-ass.

[Goran Dragic]

Quick, lets make 10 threads about how badly Kobe played.

[milkshakeballa]

And Kobe looks A LOT slower today than yesterday. Hopefully it was becasue of the B2B and not health issues.

[picc84]

Shiiiiiiiiit, Kobe outta clutch juice.

[DPG21920]

Good trade for the Mavs. No Butler either. You can still see some match up issues, but if Damp gets healthy and Butler can play a little better, they are a very good team.

[lefty]

gasol has looked bad since january
And it's only February

he is a annoying headache on offense with his floater shit he throws up but man did he play some GREAT d down the stretch.

[sribb43]

Jigga Man? really? LOL..

he could have said somethign else:wow

[hhml]

For a team full of veterans, this team sure has low IQ. Took way too long to foul when they could've lengthen the game. Then they come down and go for 2 down 5 with only about 15 secs and wasted a lot of time doing in the process.

[Allanon]

Waste of a good night by Lamar.

Good game Mavs.

[mavsfan1000]

Man it feels so good beating the Lakers. This without Butler or Dampier.

[Amarelooms]

stay on your feet bitch

that was a good foul....as long as he didn't get the shot off. :elephant

[picc84]

Why was Jayz at the game?

[Donkeybong]

And it's only February

its march in 4 days. he better get his game back in check.

[DJ Mbenga]

looks like for a team to win a title its going to be make sure you arent at full strength cause when teams play without guys they dominate. go figure

[Donkeybong]

Good game mavs. The better team won tonight.

[lefty]

Why was Jayz at the game?
Concert in Dallas the night before

So he and Beyonce thought they would go to the game as Lakers or Mavs fans, depending on the final score

[da_suns_fan]

Props to the Mavs. Theyre definitely a much better team with Haywood. His length really changes their gaping hole in the middle.

[milkshakeballa]

I will say I think the trade put the Mavs on the Nugs level for sure. Still don't think either team can beat the Lakers in a 7 game series though. Just too many matchup issues with the Lakers.

[cobbler]

LOL @ Kobe, Fish, and MVP Pau all shitting the bed in one game.

Congrats to the Mav's. They played with heart and toughness. :toast


Every friggen guard playing Fish has a season or career high. :bang

[mavsfan1000]

Props to the Mavs. Theyre definitely a much better team with Haywood. His length really changes their gaping hole in the middle.
Yep. He plays a lot like Diop but with more offense.

[Donkeybong]

Bynum played like a purple vagina too

[supervietnamlakers]

jayz lucky guy. he looks like a camel but he get a hot mama like beyonce lol.

[Allanon]

jayz lucky guy. he looks like a camel but he get a hot mama like beyonce lol.

Yup.

So he played like Gasol?

I guess it's a compliment

What matchup problems? If we didn't have Haywood, it would be a matchup problem. Dirk actually guards Gasol pretty well. Go figure.

He should be. He played like shit, along with several others. If any player on a team that loses isn't pissed he should return his paycheck.

[milkshakeballa]

More weapons...????/ :lmao

[Def Rowe]

Yeah... that sucked.

[hhml]

Lakers didn't bring it tonight. Took the night off defensively and didn't even bother to rebound on top of that. The game could've gone either way and unfortunately they just didn't want it hard enough.

[milkshakeballa]

What matchup problems? If we didn't have Haywood, it would be a matchup problem. Dirk actually guards Gasol pretty well. Go figure.

One of Terry, Caron or Marion is going to have to sit.

Kobe TORCHES Butler so I think he is going to have to keep Marion out there for defense in crunchtime. I don't think Kidd or Terry can guard Artest.

Lakers in the playoffs will be getting 70% of their points from the post.

Mavs...??? Not so much.

Over the course of 7 games...I don't see the Mavs being able to hang with the Lakers.

[milkshakeballa]

The Mavs and Jazz battle for the #3 spot will be fun to watch though. They are going to battle hard down the stretch...don't want to land in the 4/5 spot.

[DJ Mbenga]

actually in watching butler he hovers around the perimter. he cant hit a 3 to save his life. nice defense. terry was so hot butler would have sat anyways

[endrity]

Dude, Mavs and Jazz can easily get the number 2 seed. Have you seen Denver's March schedule, they have to come twice to Dallas with the Mavs already having a split in Denver.

[RedsLakers24]

Bynum and Gasol are so soft it aint Funny, When we play physical teams they struggle

[daslicer]

Haywood really impressed me in this game his one on one defense against Bynum and Gasol was amazing. He can guard either of their bigs but espescially Gasol it was funny to watch Gasol's post up game negated by Haywood's strength. Gasol was literally forced to be a jumpshooter out there against Haywood which will always be the case in this matchup. Haywood's rebounding was also fantastic out there he prevented the Lakers from getting a lot of second chance points they normally would get off of offensive rebounds. The mavs with Haywood officially become a matchup problem for the Lakers because the Lakers size advantage isn't a problem against them unlike other teams and factor in them having Dampier which means they will never have to go small against the Lakers.

[Allanon]

Ron and Lamar were probably the best Lakers tonight. The rest played poorly.

[milkshakeballa]

Funny Laker stat of the night that has been an occurance quite a few times this year.

Derek Fisher attempted more shots than:

Pau Gasol
Andrew Bynum
Lamar Odom
Ron Artest
Shannon Brown
Jordan Farmar
Josh Powell
DJ Mbenga

and for good measure

Adam Morrison (who should be getting equal shots with Fisher IMO.....0)

[milkshakeballa]

Seriously? That's where some of Pau and Bynum's shots should come from.

Over the course of 7 games...I don't see the Mavs being able to hang with the Lakers.
Kidd will guard Artest and Artest has not been able to exploit it from what I saw. Butler or Marion will start out on Artest. If the offense is being run by Artest, bad things usually happen for the lakers. Artest gets too close to the basket, Haywood will be there and he is good at avoiding fouls. The post is a hard place to play with a shotblocker out there.

[milkshakeballa]

Good thing the best Ron Artest stopper out there is Ron Artest.

Not worried about Ron at all.

You don't think he is capable of taking advantage of a mismatch?

[DJ Mbenga]

Seriously? That's where some of Pau and Bynum's shots should come from.

fagsol only have 11-6

[cobbler]

Seriously? That's where some of Pau and Bynum's shots should come from.

Fish 3-13
Terry 10-20

[milkshakeballa]

Seriously? That's where some of Pau and Bynum's shots should come from.

Yep...check the box score.

Lakers backcourt (Kobe, Fish, Farmar, Brown):

15/42 35%

Frontcourt (Artest, Pau, Drew, LO):

23/36 63%


It has happened WAY too many times this year though I'm FULLY confident this problem will be rectified come playoff time....which is why no team I think will beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Props to the Mavs. Theyre definitely a much better team with Haywood. His length really changes their gaping hole in the middle.

:lol

[milkshakeballa]

One night, yes. Not for a whole 7 game series. Mentally the guy is too far off the deep end to stay that focused.

We will agree to disagree. Only time will tell friend.

[mavsfan1000]

:lol
:lol

The post is a hard place to play with a shotblocker out there.

I'm pretty sure Ron posted Kidd up 1 or 2 2nite did he not? I was back and forth between the game and making dinner and on the computer so I could be mistaken. I didn't settle in until 7 minutes left.

[cobbler]

One night, yes. Not for a whole 7 game series. Mentally the guy is too far off the deep end to stay that focused.

Didn't we hear all offseason how Ron was going to implode the team and be a huge distraction? He has been nothing but a solid teammate.

[milkshakeballa]

Your team has been far more vulnerable than they were at any point last season, and I think Artest has everything to do with that.

Have you cared to look at any other factors?

Namely...we are defending champs. A let-down was inevitable. Needs time to gel and figure out the offense...even though we barely run the damn tri anymore.

Artest has NOT been the problem for the Lakers this year.

That has been the backcourt...namely Fisher.

[Allanon]

The problem for the Mavs and any team v the Lakers over a 7 game series is the points in paint battle. Lakers generate more interior baskets than any team in the league.

Mavs were +9 from the arc, +8 in fast break points.

Still, FUCKING PROUD :) at the grit... I had that nervous feeling throughout the 4th quarter that the Mavs would yet again fold to the Lakers under pressure... but our boys... our beautiful boys showed some grit and wherewithal... this team is very different MENTALLY than previous editions... whether its enough come playoffs probably not but alas...

[milkshakeballa]

And I do wish you were coach of the Mavs or any of the contenders lol so you would then try to isolate Artest and attack his weaknesses as opposed to Fisher since Artest has made us "vulnerable" :lol

Agreed. Mavs played with a sack 2nite. Props to you Ghazi!

[Findog]

Mavs were agressive and played without fear. I'm pleasantly surprised they won with Dampier and Butler out. We got away with Najera guarding Gasol and Kidd guarding Artest for long stretches. When Damp comes back, we'll be able to field a center for 48 minutes instead of just 30. Haywood is a smart player, he's not aggressive as he could be bc he has to stay out of foul trouble.

Exactly with Dampier comming back you have two legit interior 7 foot defender in which Gasol can not post up and is forced to be a jump shooter which is huge. Gasol,Odom both are great at abusing undersized players but the Mavs now have the luxury of not having to worry about having those type of mismatches.

[picc84]

Don't get too excited, Mavs fans, you may have been missing Butler but we were missing the Machine. Sasha would have tore that ass up. :lol

[Phillip]

Mavericks had the perfect gameplan for Kobe.

Let him shoot jumpers, dont let him drive. If he gets picks, double team him and force the ball out of his hands. But whatever you do, don't let him drive. Force him to have to get 30-40 points on jumpshots and fadeaways (lower percentage shots).

Haywood was playing soft early to stay out of foul trouble, but in the second half, he pretty much shut Bynum down. When Damp gets back, things will change a LOT.

Mavericks can most definitely compete with the Lakers.

[jacobdrj]

Damn fun game to watch... Thought Carlisle didn't call his timeouts early enough on the Laker comeback, but they got the W...

Bynum had his way with Haywood pretty much every possession 1 on 1. He was scoring on him at will. Mavs were forced to double/triple him in the 2nd half. It was nothing Haywood did to stop him.

Mav's played great. But saying they kept Kobe from driving is a stretch. You are not going to see Kobe drive a lot into traffic anytime soon nursing the ankle and finger. I think you will see him turn it up a huge notch down the stretch.

and they still lost, ouch.

[hhml]

For one, the guards were taking a lot more shots than our front court. And second, I don't know how many minutes Bynum played tonight but it seemed like he was rarely out there. I think he his stat line is something like 5-8 with 11 rebounds and 10 points.

They got beat because they didn't bring it tonight. No effort on the rebounds and defense. And even then it was still anyone's game.

Mavs are a great rebounding team if you haven't noticed. As for defense, the mavs are pretty hard to guard as well.

[Basileus777]

They are 22nd in the league in rebound differential. The Mavs haven't been a great rebounding team on anything but paper.

I don't really watch other teams besides the Lakers so I don't know certain aspects like rebounding, etc. but I believe the outcome would've been different had the Lakers gave more efforts on the rebound. Seems like no one wanted to go after a rebound other than Lamar tonight.

[j.dizzle]

LOL i know Mavfan is happy but its just one game. I know its exciting since its vs LA but it doesnt really change much other then the battle for the second seed..Nice game & win though sons..Dont you guys wish you got that Terry every night hahaha

Haha yep. Terry is streaky as hell. Glad he could make up for the loss of Butler. And getting Dampier back will give us a true center for 48 minutes. That will be nice against the lakers as well.

Is Jason Terry the West version of Eddie House? As in acts like every shot is the first shot he has ever made? lol

[DJ Mbenga]

Yeah well they were a different team before the trade. Haywood has changed everything.

yeah but the lakers were 2nd in the league. i guess they forgot that cause they dindt show it

JR Smith is worse, he expects people to shine his shoes every time he makes a shot.

I also think the outcome would have been different if the mavs gave even more efforts on the rebounds.

So the outcome would have been different if your team had played better??

As much as Terry pisses me off when he is cold, when hes hot he is great to watch. He plays with such passion and seems like he is having fun.

[TheMACHINE]

U mad.

u dont agree with me?

[TheMACHINE]

I don't know, did he seem like that when he took a picture with your fat ass?

He actually did...he acted like it was the first time he ever took a picture.

Good one Dirk4MVP ;) You're quick at switching screen names.

[dirk4mvp]

u dont agree with me?

He should do the laker thing and do some annoying grunt sound looking for a call instead.

[j.dizzle]

LOL Terry, dude is like a DJ when hes hitting shots too..Throws his hands in the air trying to get crowd pumped up..Nutting wrong with that, Cuban probably likes him doing that.

[TheMACHINE]

yah..maybe doing that will finally get him a ring.

[j.dizzle]

Terry is nothing compared to Hickson from Cle hahaha Chuck was making fun of him a couple weeks ago on inside the nba..Everytime he dunks he does some funny shit

[dirk4mvp]

yah..maybe doing that will finally get him a ring.

TBH he already has one IMHO. You sound like a spurfan. Congrats.

[hhml]

Of course. They gave the Mavs too many second chance points and they were killing us from 3 (mainly Terry). There was a play where Lakers gave up like 3-4 second chances on one play and Terry ended up drilling an open 3. And there's also the one at the end of the 3rd when Kobe was out of bounds. He gave up on the play after Edwardo missed the layup and wasn't in position to receive the pass from Pau after the rebound. That resulted in another 3.

[TheMACHINE]

TBH he already has one IMHO. You sound like a spurfan. Congrats.

oh yah..i forgot about that..he was MVP of game 6 in the Finals right?

Can't blame them. They don't know what it's like to achieve real post season success. This is the championship for them.

Sons, good game by the mavs. a Mavs/Lakers WCF match up looks very possible at this point. Haywood was a great pick up.

[HornetLoveJones]

Fun game, impressive win by Mavs. You guys look legit and Damp/Butler didn't play.
Even more Stevenson shut me up, I thought he'd be garbage when that trade was announced. You're lucky to have Haywood, a center that doesn't have bricks for hands for Mavs finally.

Sucks Caron wasn't able to play tonight. I really wanted to see these teams duke it out with their full rosters. Before this trade, I felt the Mavs were good enough to give the Lakers a 5-6 game series. Now I think it can go 6-7 games. Lakers road to a repeat just got tougher.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The best thing about some Lakers fans is they get extremely butt hurt over losing a regular season game when they randomly say, "Have fun with your regular season championship!", and then when they get called out for being butt hurt, they have the good old response, "Na, it's the regular season, I don't care about us losing."

Mavs before the trade were surely a tier level below against the Lakers.


The disappearance of Josh Dumbass Smith and the addition of Caron Butler and especially Brendan haywood has changed the Mavs profile. I think right now the Lakers have TWO legitimate challengers in the West. Denver and Dallas.


Its going to be a one tough and long road for the Lakers to repeat.

Josh Smith on the Mavs probably wouldn't have elicited a trade...just saying.

It was a great win by the Mavs and you have to give them their due. Let's move on to the next match-up which is against the 76ers and then the all important game against the Nuggets.

Oh I never said the Mavs were on the Lakers level before the trade. I just said it would be a competitive 5 MAYBE 6 game series. I am basing it off the games they have played over the last 3 years. Lakers did win a majority of them but the Mavs kept the games competitive.

As for the legit challengers, agree on both teams.

[The Gemini Method]

Definitely Dallas and Denver will be the stiffest test for the Lakers in this year's Western Conference Playoffs. It will make for an interesting run and may the best team win it.

Before "Gasoft" the Lakers were getting beaten by the Suns. And the European soft label is getting old. People always call Dirk soft as well. I dislike most of the Laker players but Gasol I'm cool with.
