LA vs. Dallas Round 1 looking likely

[cheguevara]

Dallas owns tie breaker over Nuggs. Nuggs have to go into OKC and beat Thunder.

Another beatdown of lalaboys by the reigning champs? I think so, if Artest is out. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

I think they'll be decent to win a game or two now. Hopefully.

[Axe Murderer]

i think you're a faggot

[cheguevara]

never underestimate the heart of a champion :cry

[jacobdrj]

Never underestimate just how much better of a coach Rick Carlisle is than Mike Brown...

Rick Carlisle has won at least 1 playoff series against every coach in the NBA who has won a championship in the last 16 years, sans Pat Reily...

Mike Brown is not one of those coaches...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Does OKC have anything to play for?

[Venti Quattro]

Does OKC have anything to play for?

They're tucked in to the #2 spot. San Antonio has the #1 locked up.

OKC would want the lalaboys to face Dallas IMO. Since they are headed to a 2nd round faceoff.

so they will go out there and try and beat thuggets

[clambake]

all of the mav moves were calculated.

mavs don't want an asterisk trophy. those trophies aren't real.

[Latarian Milton]

lakers want revenge so it'd be ideal for them to take them castrated mavs in the 1st round tbh

No bragging from Kool this year after getting my ass spanked last by the Mavs I'm contrite this year....all I want is for Kobe to beat Dallas,OKC, and the Spurs enroute to #6 without Artest and he will be officially greater than MJ....

And a quiet thank you to Lamar Odom. No Artest for LA no Odom or Chandler for Dallas...

[hater]

good series. I think my mavs still have something inside them

[Rummpd]

Lakers definetely should take series against either team (assuming no injuries) but the Mavs can surely throw a scare into them and probably more likely to make it a 6-7 game series.

With a Mavs-LAL series I could see a Haywood Bynum altercation or someone else besides MWP going off (assuming he is there) as these teams simply do not like each other.

[mavsfan1000]

If Artest plays, Mavs in 6. If Artest is suspended, Lakers in 6.

Durant Vs Kobe

:lmao

Mavs chances of repeating are about 1% so this is the exact kind of loser attitude I would expect from mavfan tbh...

[pass1st]

Lakers will probably go in with a head of steam looking for revenge, Dallas is much weaker than last year.

Unless Dirk & Terry go ham shooting the 3ball and Vince steps into a time machine, it shouldn't be more than a 6 game win for LAL.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

When did he beat Pop?

[Dex]

When did he beat Pop?

2009, First round.

[cheguevara]

the manu less 09 spurs would have lost to Mike Brown

its an asterisk trophy. nobody should want that. i said this before the season.

[cheguevara]

the 16 teams going into the playoffs want it

[clambake]

the 16 teams going into the playoffs want it

i agree. just don't understand why.

[DJB]

Lamar Odom already knocked them out, single-handedly, tbh.

[cheguevara]

go OKC tonight

[clambake]

That's what makes MavsFan a MavsFan:lol

what?

[dbestpro]

Prepping for that first round exit a little early?

[Seventyniner]

If the Lakers go up 3-0 in the first round, will they tank a game or 2 to soak up Artest's suspension?

[Venti Quattro]

Det's not going to be a problem because the Lakers are not going 3-0 up on any playoff opponent this playoffs.

[DPG21920]

So if OKC wins tonight, does that lock Dallas into the 6th seed?

[Mel_13]

So if OKC wins tonight, does that lock Dallas into the 6th seed?

No.

Both teams would be 36-29 with one game remaining.

[Venti Quattro]

So if OKC wins tonight, does that lock Dallas into the 6th seed?

Not necessarily.

[cheguevara]

yup but Dallas got d tie breaker. All they need to do is handle their business vs. ATL, which a reigning champ should easily do

But then again it's Dallas we are talking about here

[clambake]

Prepping for that first round exit a little early?

not just the mavs. did it escape your attention that i was referring to every team?
