Las Inconformistas @ Las Maquinillas y Los Lagos Thread

[Ashy Larry]

The Mavericks have back to back games against the Clippers and Lakers. If all works out well, Los Cleepers will take the Mavs into a seven overtime game and lose. That would be absolutely perfecto.

Good thing for the Inconformistas, they don't have to travel very far on back-to-back nights; wheres as the Lakers gotta shoot to Utah right after this game on Thursday. Final Scores:

Las Maquinillas (hair clippers): 103
Las Inconformistas: 95


Los Lagos (no spanish word for Lakers - so will just go with more than one lake): 107
Las Inconformistas: 27

Mavericks-Clippers Preview



The Dallas Mavericks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=dal) have arrived in Los Angeles to face the city's two NBA teams in consecutive nights at Staples Center.


Their games against the Clippers at the arena have typically been much easier.
Before their highly anticipated matchup with the surging Lakers, the Mavericks look to win their ninth straight over the Clippers on Wednesday night.


Dallas (52-21) is one game back of the Lakers for second place in the Western Conference and will play the two-time defending champions Thursday. The Mavericks have lost five of six against the Lakers at Staples, but have had no such trouble beating the Clippers there.


Dallas has won four straight over the Clippers (29-45) in Los Angeles by an average of 17.5 points, taking the most recent road meeting with them 99-83 on Oct. 31.
The Mavericks also beat the Clippers 112-105 at home Jan. 25 for their eighth win in a row in the series and 14th in 15 meetings. Los Angeles' losing streak against Dallas is its longest against any West opponent.


The Mavericks relied on balanced scoring in the first two meetings, with Jason Terry (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/841/jason-terry) averaging 21.5 points, Dirk Nowitzki (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/609/dirk-nowitzki) 18.0 and Caron Butler (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1705/caron-butler) 17.0. Dallas has also done a good job of containing Blake Griffin (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3989/blake-griffin).


The Clippers' rookie star has averaged 19.0 points, 35.5 percent shooting and 10.0 rebounds in those contests. He is averaging 22.5 points, 50.6 percent from the field and 12.1 boards against the rest of the league.


While Dallas has had little trouble with the Clippers lately, it struggled to get in gear against Phoenix on Monday.


Tied at 83 with 1:11 remaining, Jason Kidd (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/429/jason-kidd) hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions and then added two free throws to lead the Mavericks to a 91-83 victory.
"These kinds of games come down to will and toughness and I give our guys a lot of credit," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Our shots weren't falling all night. We struggled with turnovers early and to just hang in and come in to huddles and talking about how we're going to get it done.


"That's progress for us and we've just got to keep building on that."
Dallas, which shot 38.1 percent, got a team-high 16 points from Kidd, Terry and Tyson Chandler (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/984/tyson-chandler). Nowitzki went 6 of 19 from the floor and scored 15.


"Shooting 38 percent from the field and still being able to beat a good offensive team and being able to hold them to 83 points is a huge accomplishment for us," Chandler said. "We had to buckle down and understand what it was going to take for us to win."
Chandler has not missed a shot from the field or free-throw line against the Clippers this season. He was 2 of 2 from the floor and 4 of 4 from the line Oct. 31, and made all five field-goal attempts while going 11 of 11 on foul shots Jan. 25.


The Mavericks, an NBA-best 26-10 on the road, are 2-0 on their season-high six-game trip.


The Clippers, winners of 14 of 18 at home, haven't played since a 94-90 victory over Toronto at Staples Center on Saturday. Griffin had 22 points and 16 rebounds, while Chris Kaman (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1982/chris-kaman) finished with 17 points and 12 boards for Los Angeles, which closed the game on a 20-8 run.


"We just switched up our defense and got stops, then went out in transition," said Griffin, averaging 25.7 points in his last three games.


The Clippers are looking to win back-to-back contests for the first time since a season-best four-game run from March 2-9.
