Lakers vs Mavs

[jag]

Let me say this as well ...

Game 2 and 3 are both important we dont want Mavs to go up 2-1 ...

How profound

You can't look past Wednesday's game, Killa. Got ta square it there, or, it's curtains. If it levels there we can move forward unencumbered.

So does the Colonel shatter Bynum's confidence by benching him for Odom like Charles and Kenny are suggesting?

You got no other choice.

First Bin Laden killed and now Lakers blow a huge lead and go down like chumps in game 1. I just shit myself!

[Killakobe81]

Pau, Kobe and PJ all failed down the stretch ....

I was not even mad after the hornets losses ...but this one sticks in my craw. All the Plano bitches will be looking for me at work tomorrow. Even the Non Mavs fans ...

Plus we gave away a Game 1 ... Hornets whipped us in Game 1 especially Paul. This game was ours we choked Mavs were clutch arrrrrrrghhhhh!!!!!!

Spurs got blindsided with the unexpected best team in the West. Maybe if they knew what kind of beast they were playing they could have grind for a victory.

The 2nd isn't so shocking...but it WILL be if they repeat this feat in Game 2. I wouldn't bet against them in that game, BUT the Mavs looked like they got over that 20+ drumming the Blazers put on them in Game 5.

I bet Stern is fuming somewhere!!!

Just checkin' assholes. Thought I would start with you, Nate.

[i MAke GOod POlls]

Mavs have a legit shot at winning this series. They matchup very well with LA and they also have the best player on the court. I don't think there's any other team in the league that have that combination

Just checkin' assholes. Thought I would start with you, Nate.

tough game. you just cant gift playoff games. the lakers just did so. that mavs bench went wild. looking at the box score nobody on that bench struggled. incredible shooting numbers. i know lakers like to camp the paint but when a team shoots like that you should try to contest

Question: When is Caron Butler expected to be back? Or is he not going to be in the playoffs this year?

it was actually kidd riding him like crazy and essentially shoving kobe's face to the ball causing it to slip out of gasols hands. they let them play. i like it. i wish it would have been the same mindset with the nowitzki inbound

[NewJerSpur]

Kidd was tugging on Kobe no doubt, but to drop down to the ground when you reach the ball? Pau can't go over the top of Dirk trying to go for the steal he doesn't have an angle to get to at that point in the game imo.

[Giuseppe]

I got no beef with the calls. We blew up in the last minute and paid the ultimate price for it.

[LakerHater]

Yeah, you cant look for a bail out when you blew a 16 point lead!

we also eased up after we got the lead game was lost there more than in the last minute ...

Yep.

They act entitled.

[ElNono]

This Lakerteam has been giving chances to everybody at Staples this season... not the first time they close out like that...

[dallaskd]

Question: When is Caron Butler expected to be back? Or is he not going to be in the playoffs this year?

IF he comes back it wouldnt be till the NBA finals. im pretty sure he hasnt even been cleared for contact yet. Rick said there was zero chance he would play vs Los Angeles

[cobbler]

Good game Mav fans. Your boys never gave up.

LOL at all the haters blaming Kobe who had a great game.

LOL at all the haters crying about fouls. Didn't see any whining on the last one called and one not called i guess. Going to love to see that on replay. Kidd grabs Kobe around the waist but I would not have called it simply cause it wasnt that hard. Play on. From what I saw live though, Kidd followed through and completely hacked Paus arms causing the actual turnover. Regardless, Lakers should never have been in that position to let it hurt them.

LOL at HoBoy continuing with the MVPau BS. King Moron.

LOL at all the San Antonio Mavs fans!

LOL at people blaming not getting Drew the ball was the problem. Drew was not engaged tonight. He wasn't running or fighting for position. It's why PJ benched his ass in the last 5 as he always has to send that message.

LOL at ezau saying he wont be around yet shows up tonight with his Mav's jersey on.

Artest shit the bed this game and was a big reason we lost. His tossing up ridiculous 3's when the Lakers had gone up 16 was absurd. He was though the most consistent Laker in series one so ill give him a pass on this one.

...and loving another T-Shirt from the Organization saying:

It's my Life.... It's my Lakers. Kinda surprised the brass wouldnt have said It's our Lakers and you are just fans. :lol

Congrats Mavs and fans! Well deserved.

Lakers in 6 on the way to 17!!!!! We got this. Was never really worried TBH.

[Giuseppe]

Artest shit the bed this game

On both ends. Very disappointing.

[Banzai]

Artest usually plays like shit most of the time. I only recall his good game in Phoenix last season during the WCF..that was it pretty much.

[cobbler]

On both ends. Very disappointing.

Yes. He will recover. He was due for a bad one.

[Giuseppe]

Artest usually plays like shit most of the time. I only recall his good game in Phoenix last season during the WCF..that was it pretty much.

Though that 3 late in Game 7 shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

[cobbler]

He has been solid since the all star break and was the most consistent player in series one.

[Kyle Orton]

Hey I give ezau credit, he looks by far dumber than anyone else on this site yet he keeps talking shit like he is anything more than ST's current day bottom bitch.

[cobbler]

Though that 3 late in Game 7 shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

It was worth every penny of his entire contract. Yes, that one shot.

True... I find him quite humorous. I'm guessing like 13-15 yrs old?

You musta missed his defense against Paul Pierce in every finals game. Pierce woulda gotten any shot he wanted with Ariza's skinny ass guarding him.

[cobbler]

He was soooooo shitty against Durant too!

[Ashy Larry]

Nice win by the Mavs ..... Lakers gift wrapped Game One ......


Mavs showed us how not to close a half

Lakers showed us how not to close a game

he plays well when he has to..but more often he hasn't..my mistake about those other big shots he did..but dude seriously can be invisible on the court like tonight.

can't fault Bean ... he hadda great game. I point more towards a sixteen point lead that mysteriously disappeared ...... oh wait, our bench fucked up again

[icem]

kobe with the turnover, then bricks the 3 for the win..


LOL, fukkin phaggot

Question though, why did Phil sat Kobe for too long? He was on fire tbh. That was such a huge gamble and he got burned. He kept his reserves out there a minute or two too long in the 4th imo.

[cobbler]

You're just fans.

Hey Mid!!!! Did you see the NBA did a NBA Ball comercial with you in mind. Of course the ball was making absolute fun of those who quit on their teams. It was so YOU! :lol

Gotta love it. The .4 comercial followed by the quitting on your team and taking himsef home sandwiched around your multiple tucking of the tail and whimpering off.

Classic!!!! :lol

[cobbler]

Wrong. Kobe didn't turn it over he just fell. Pau turned it over when Kidd hit his arms.

Nice try moron.

I think Phil really fucked himself. Can you really question a guy with 11 rings? Hell yeah. But sooner or later, Phil's bench has to step up and hold these leads ........

Phil melted down with the Odom substitution late in the game and I would have told Kobe that he's starting the fourth quarter because this was a big game. Up seven going into the fourth and at home?? They gotta win that one. He coulda easily called a few time outs to give him some rest ......

[ChrisRichards]

So why did Kobe had 0 assist tonight? Mind explaining that one for us?

True dat. I also think Barnes was doing a better job out there than Artest. He was involving guys while Artest was just being shitty.

[Ashy Larry]

Ron Ron was brutal ...... he had pretty good moments but for the most part he was awful.

Barnes was pretty active and did well .......

Lakers bench have to play not even but they have to produce atleast 75% of what the Mavs bench produces ....... and when Dirk is on the floor, Odom is on the floor .... from the second quarter on.

[cobbler]

:lol @ Kobe's unofficial spokeperson

So why did Kobe had 0 assist tonight? Mind explaining that one for us?

Because he was shooting. He usually leads the team in assists and Fish gets 1or 2. Tonight I think Fish had 5 or so (I havent looked as I dont really need stats to evaluate what I have seen in person) Not the mention the numerous bricks by Ron, Pau, and Drew that Kobe passed to.

[ElNono]

Larry... goods... per the usual

These aren't the same Mavs people ..... damn you gotta have that game. blowing 16p point leads in the regular season at home against the Clippers is one thing; but you just can't do that shit especially against a very good squad in the playoffs.........

Deep breath Larry. It's ok. Dallas played about as well as they could. Lakers nowhere close. It could have easily been a Laker blowout without some of the bonehead plays when we went up. They will be fine. Might even be a little blessing in disguise in the motivation arena.

:lmao you keep telling yourself that. The Mavericks are here to play, and they have the upper leg after game 1.

[NewcastleKEG]

Barkley makes a point in that Bynum is essentially on the bench this series. So you lose that size and not much scoring coming off the bench. At that point Dallas has a big advantage with their bench

Blake played alot of minutes but didn't do much and Barnes was just another body out there

[Splits]

The Lakers are 6-8 in their last 14 games. One of those wins was in OT against Sucktown which finished 2nd to last in the West. Another of those wins was against the Spurs 3rd team end of the bench. The other 4 were against a Whorenets team which lost their last 3 games of the regular season, all by double digits. And now they lose at home to the NBA's all time leading chokers.

The Lakers are playing their worst basketball since losing to the Cavs. You can flip the switch as many times as you'd like Lakerfan, the light bulb is burnt the fuck out. You can meet the Spurs at South Padre Island next week for their fishing trip.

I'm not panicking. Just speaking facts. It "could have" been a Lakers blow out but it wasn't.

And as far as motivation .... if they need motivation after being two time champs while in the playoffs, then maybe Phil should just start Luke and Trey Johnson ...... lol @ motivation.

[ElNono]

As I pointed out earlier, Dallas played well, but not near 'as well as they could'. They almost gave away the game in a 3 min stretch to end the 2nd quarter, which was really sloppy play.

On the other hand, I doubt you'll see Fisher scoring 5 of his 8 points inside the paint again... or handing out 6 dimes unless his teammates catch fire... he's been averaging 3 dimes/game this postseason...

That said, you would think Bynum can only go up from there...

exactly ..... as far as Bynum, he comes off the bench this series. Pau or Bynum can't check Dirk. When Dirk is on the floor, LO is on the floor.

You mean like last year when they lost 7 of their last 10 and barely scraped by a rookie Thunder team to only end up with #16?

It's a 7 game series. There is no better coach at making the proper adjustments. Mavs played great and still should have lost. It's ours to lose. We gave one away. No problem. Is there any kind of stat for winning % on the opponents flor or closeout % on the away floor? I'd be interested to hear it.

Dont know why the Mavs "should have lost".

They shot themselves in the knee with the 4p before haltime and with 3 straight TO at the start of the 3rd. That was pretty much the 12+ lead for the Lakers. Just caused by brainfarts.

They are who they are Larry. Drew simply was not motivated tonight and it showed in his simply jogging down the floor. When hes running he gets to his spot in the lane and its over, regardless who is garding him. When he cruises he sets up on the block and has to make moves. Tonight he didnt have them. Quite a few people were yelling at him to get his ass in gear, including PJ.

So you are telling me as a Mav's fan you knew you had that game all along? Or were you were stressed most of the game and relieved at the end?

Lakers had the lead with mins remaining in a game they never really trailed. 9 out of 10 time the Lakers get that W.

Your boys stood tough and gave themselves the opportunity to steal one. It paid off. Kudos! :toast

You mean like last year where they lost 6 of their last 10, not 7? And 5 of those were to playoff teams? And the other loss was to a non-playoff team when they rested their starters in a meaningless game to end the season?

Ohhh wow... I never realized Charles was the one making the player rotations for the Lakers. He was on the bench cause he wasnt hustling. Wanna bet he has a big impact on game two?

Your Spurs are done and on vacation at the hands of the #8 farm team. Now, while our boys can recover like they have so many times and win this, yours have no chance.
