[Raven]

[Latarian Milton]

[Darth_Pelican]

[clambake]

nice to see kaman in his usual playing condition.

[Kai]

Dwight/Pau, meet Curry/Brand

[DisAsTerBot]

[Jodelo]

:lol going to be brutal

[purplengold]

lakers gon need time ta gel, might not be da curbstomp it should be

[Killakobe81]

Lakers by 6 if we lucky

[DeadlyDynasty]

I predict Spurfans will cry about the officiating at some point tonight...even though they don't have dog in the fight.

[Killakobe81]

Stern conspiracy theories will be abundant they want a superfriends vs. Avengers matchup.

[JamStone]

Lakers by 4 if Kobe plays. Lakers by 21 if Kobe sits.

[whitemamba]

lakers by 25

[The Gemini Method]

Lakers will win and World Peace will not go on a mass-murder spree just yet...

[Venti Quattro]

Welcome back, JamStone!

[Killakobe81]

Not likely but funny ... Jammie ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Im goin to bed...good night

[Nathan89]

I predict 20 pts for Curry and Spursfans to go crazy.

[ElNono]

Elton Brand vs Dwight Howard marquee matchup

[Brazil]

I predict 20 pts for Curry and Spursfans to go crazy.

that's a strong possibility tbh

[Lincoln]

Mavs gonna get buttfucked, we need dirk :(

[Brazil]

I cannot stand Reggie Miller

[AussieFanKurt]

Man I hope Dwight monsters everyone - for fantasy purposes

[Brazil]

The mavs line up would be a nice second unit but as a first one it's kind of light

[Lincoln]

Looks like curry isn't getting the start

Fuck you Kaman you injured piece of shit. How can one be so fuckin frail?

[JamStone]

Welcome back, JamStone!


:toast

[Brazil]

:lmao Howard

[lefty]

Dwight misses a dunk but makes a nice hook shot WTF

[100%duncan]

Sorry if I missed something but where's Dirk? Injured?

[Lincoln]

We fuckin suck

Nash got killed on d tho

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Pau Gasol

[Lincoln]

Sorry if I missed something but where's Dirk? Injured?

Knee surgery, out 6 weeks

[100%duncan]

Knee surgery, out 6 weeks

Oh fuck that. I was looking forward for this game.

[Venti Quattro]

Fucking artest :lmao :lmao

[ElNono]

Nash still flopping.... lol Mamba Princeton offense

[Lincoln]

It's nice to have a fast PG for once

[Malik Hairston]

:lol Mavs interior D is atrocious, probably even worse with Dirk/Kaman, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Gasol will lead all big men in assists this year. Not a big reach I know since he's usually in the top of PF/C for assists anyways, but he's going to have a stellar year and he and Dwight are just a ridic good fit.

[Kai]

Collison will go HAM this year

[Malik Hairston]

Why is Mayo, not Marion, guarding Kobe?..

[Brazil]

Gasol will lead all big men in assists this year. Not a big reach I know since he's usually in the top of PF/C for assists anyways, but he's going to have a stellar year and he and Dwight are just a ridic good fit.

Varejao ftw tbh :lol

Horford should do well too

[Lincoln]

Why is Mayo, not Marion, guarding Kobe?..

Saving Marion for later

[DPG21920]

Varejao ftw tbh :lol

Horford should do well too

Ya, that stat line by Andy tonight was something special. Came during a win as well :tu

[Kai]

Pau is going to have a special year.

[Malik Hairston]

:lol 2 terrible calls in a row in Howard's favor, tbh..

[Lincoln]

What a bullshit call

[Lincoln]

Thanks refs

[ElNono]

St:lolv:lol Bl:lolke first off the bench

[ace3g]

Curry draws foul on Howard

[Floyd Pacquiao]

curry is looking bad on D

[ElNono]

Mike gonna run Gasol to the ground?

[Lincoln]

Curry sucks ass at defense

[lakerhaterade]

Curry is a matador on defense

[Lincoln]

I'll take it but this paint defense is shit, offense will cool down and then we fucked

[ElNono]

Curry sucks ass at defense

He would have fit great on the Spurs, tbh

[Lincoln]

Curry looks alright at offense and rebounding but this defense makes 03 dirk look like tyson

[Lincoln]

Once this team gets healthy and if they can gel at all, they can be a dark horse imo

[Malik Hairston]

Mavs have a top 3 offensive frontcourt in the NBA, but probably the worst defensive frontcourt, tbh..Curry, Dirk and Kaman are horrible interior defenders, Wright is average..Brand is the only decent defensive big on their roster..

[redzero]

I'm liking the ball movement of the Lakers.

[ElNono]

lol mavs... shat on by the Laker's bench

[Venti Quattro]

Lol dwight's free throw shooting.

[Lincoln]

Curry is killing this team

[lakerhaterade]

:lol curry just watches on defense tbh...

[Monostradamus]

Seeing Curry out there in a Mavs uniform is more depressing than I imagined it would be.

[lakerhaterade]

:lol Curry

[ElNono]

who's the rastafarian?

[VBM]

:lmao at the thought of a Curry/Bonner frontline

[Lincoln]

Dreadlock nig showin some hustle

[Venti Quattro]

Who's the rastanigga?

[Monostradamus]

who's the rastafarian?
Crowder was terrific all preseason but i never thought Rick would give him minutes.

[ElNono]

Crowder was terrific all preseason but i never thought Rick would give him minutes.

looking good right now

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Dwight no longer feeling the need to fake that injury
:lol Crowder shitting on the Lakers

[ElNono]

Nash :lol

[Kai]

Roddy Bukake

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Steve Nash

[Lincoln]

Nash just got embarrassed :lmao

[ElNono]

TOSB :lol

[Nathan89]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Mavs vs Lakers 1st round. Brand statistically is a really good defender, Healthy Dirk is still an absolute beast, Collison's speed, Mayo can shoot, and Marion wins the sf battle.

[ElNono]

So what's the go-to excuse for the Lakeshow if they start slow? "Time to gel"?

[Clipper Nation]

So what's the go-to excuse for the Lakeshow if they start slow? "Time to gel"?

:cry "Fire Mike Clown, kidnap Phil Jackson, and force him to coach this team" :cry

[lefty]

LOL KOBELOL VINCE

[Malik Hairston]

Mavs need to put Vince in more pick and rolls, he's probably a better passer than their PGs, tbh..

[Malik Hairston]

:lol:lol:lol how the fuck did Metta get bailed out with that call, tbh?..

[ElNono]

The one-on-one princeton offense really working great now :lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lol:lol:lol how the fuck did Metta get bailed out with that call, tbh?..

Because of the jersey he's wearing, tbh...

[Lincoln]

How the fuck is that a foul?

[Jodelo]

:lol:lol:lol how the fuck did Metta get bailed out with that call, tbh?..

Not the first meeehh call the Lakers got!

[LkrFan]

Roddy Bukake

:lol

[Lincoln]

Damn Reggie slurping that laker cock

[Lincoln]

Lol Gasol screams and gets yet another weak call

[ElNono]

you know they're gonna get home cooking...

[ElNono]

Lol Gasol screams and gets yet another weak call

tbh, I thought they were crack down on flopping...

[LkrFan]

you know they're gonna get home cooking...

Speaking of home, how's the weather out there? Looks bad on the internets.

[ElNono]

Speaking of home, how's the weather out there? Looks bad on the internets.

just got power back an hour ago... everything cool here... can't complain, tbh

[Lincoln]

VC looks horrible

[Kai]

Crowder can play. Gotta keep an eye on him.

[ElNono]

Dallas missing a lot of easy shots, tbh

[Venti Quattro]

Ha, Kobe almost had that pass.

[Mav-elous Man]

Jae Crowder continuing his his good play from the preseason. Mayo missing too many shots. Sup people. Did u miss me?

[ace3g]

Lol Gasol screams and gets yet another weak call

honestly I think vocal flopping should be part of the rule as well.

[ElNono]

Oj Mayo with the dribbling bads

[Lincoln]

Was Pau wearing a mic on the v of the jersey?

[Mav-elous Man]

Mavs need to start pushing the ball more.

[ElNono]

lol 12-3 freebies difference and Mavs still winning

[Lincoln]

Wow a no call on that travel but at least they still got the stop.

Defense is horrible but up 2 going into halftime, I'll take that. Loving the guard play, such a change from years past

[Lincoln]

And :lmao at the FT disparity.

[Jodelo]

FT watch: LA 14, DAL 3... :lmao

[Findog]

One word: Scrappy

[D12]

We are playing like dogshit. Look in the second half for the best team in the league to pull away.

:lol all the little Mav and Spur fans getting a kick out of the first game playing together

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol lakers bench getting exposed

[D12]

Mike Brown needs to get D12 more touches. He's fucking terrible as a coach.

[ElNono]

:lol all the little Mav and Spur fans getting a kick out of the first game playing together

:lol early excuses are funny, tbh... it's not like Dallas isn't playing their first game together too, on the road and without Dirk...

[Banzai]

Mike Brown needs to get D12 more touches. He's fucking terrible as a coach.

you're just now noticing this? guy has so much talent around him..fool doesn't get it..he'll just refer to his tapes.

[Banzai]

:lol early excuses are funny, tbh... it's not like Dallas isn't playing their first game together too, on the road and without Dirk...

if dirk was playing..this game wouldn't be close tbh...

[midnightpulp]

Los Angeles LAterals looking impressive thus far.

[ElNono]

So Blake > Duhon?

[AussieFanKurt]

:lol get the ball to Dwight

[Lincoln]

Los Angeles LAterals looking impressive thus far.

Where u been

[Venti Quattro]

Where u been

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol This is going to be Miami's biggest threat?

:lol NBA

[D12]

C'mon

[ElNono]

:lol nash defense
:lol princeton offense

[AussieFanKurt]

why is Nash so good on D

[ace3g]

Howard with the hard foul

[D12]

So erratic

[ElNono]

Dwight bullying niggs

[Lincoln]

Lol replacing that bitch Bynum with this diva bitch Howard

Nash is getting KILLED on defense

[Ashy Larry]

Lakers = chicken bleep

[AussieFanKurt]

lol Dwight bitch

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Lakers and their flaws
:lol Thunder going backwards
:lol the NBA just giving in to Miami

[Nathan89]

Lakers can't even beat a new mavs team without Dirk?

[AussieFanKurt]

airball nash, whats he doing..

[Kai]

Really wish there were real Centers in the NBA

[ElNono]

Don't get why Dallas doesn't just fouls Dwight.... he's been terrible on FTs

[Nathan89]

Report of Howard shooting 80%ft in practice.:lol

[Lincoln]

Yet another weak bullshit call

Loving this ft disparity

[ElNono]

here comes the freebie parade

[AussieFanKurt]

Does Pau ever not scream when someone touches him?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lakers are a 4th seed at best. What a joke against a Dirkless Mavs.

Spurs in the Finals.

[Banzai]

Does Pau ever not scream when someone touches him?

if he doesn't I've never seen it lol..he's a screamer

[Jodelo]

And the calls continue...

[Banzai]

I for one am not surprised.

[ElNono]

Lakers will get better... but hiding Nash's defensive shortcomings will be an issue. Especially against fast PGs... also, with Dwight's FT woes, not sure this is such a big upgrade from Bynum, tbh

[AussieFanKurt]

if he doesn't I've never seen it lol..he's a screamer

hate that on the bball court, so frustrating when playing and they get touched and go arghghhh as if they're in serious pain

[Mav-elous Man]

Clippers are the best team in L.A. tbh.

[Kai]

Is this dude really slurping up Dwight's FT form when he's only made 2 tonight?

[Latarian Milton]

mavs are a lottery team w/o dirk and the lakers have been winless since preseason, evenly matched i saaaiiiidddddddddddd

[ElNono]

:lol back to Kobe-ball

[ElNono]

Curry bulldozing in the paint

[Kai]

Dallas bullying these scrubs

[Monostradamus]

LMAO Gasol is such a little pussy

[ace3g]

Curry again

[AussieFanKurt]

rofl pau. curry ballin

[Lincoln]

Lol curry

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow Curry beasting

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol curry finally doing something on offense

[Banzai]

curry adding some spice.

[Nathan89]

Brand was such a nice pickup. Him in Dirk will do fine vs the Lakers bigs.

[lefty]

Curry

[Banzai]

lakers lose tonight..LA begins the implosion.

[ElNono]

Well, Nash is having fun though! :lol

[DPG21920]

What is going on with LA? It's not like they can use the "need time to gel excuse" when Dallas has basically all new guys who have never played together...

[Juggity]

Curry is det chosen one

[Lincoln]

Another bailout rofl

[Banzai]

lol...whats the clock hits 0...media will feed off this shit.

[Banzai]

oh and my guess..howard heads out after this season.

[Juggity]

Wait, does jordan hill have the eyebrow racing stripes? :lol

[DPG21920]

oh and my guess..howard heads out after this season.

chill out, banzai :lol it's game 1

[ace3g]

damn Vince, how did that not go in

[Lincoln]

Lol VC, you're too old for that shit

[Nathan89]

Steve Blake's hair is a little longer and darker this year. Still sucks though, imho.

[Lincoln]

26-6 FT advantage :lmao

[ElNono]

:lol 2/10 freebies
:lol 27-6 FT advantage

[ElNono]

:lol steve blake backup pg
:lol Kool silent
:lol Nash too old to be run into the ground

[Banzai]

clippers going to wax and oil dat laker ass soon....

[Biggems]

Howard and Hill are building a new arena for the Lakers at the FT line one brick at a time.

[Juggity]

Lakers should probably be concerned after 9 straight losses :lol

[Biggems]

Lakers should probably be concerned after 9 straight losses :lol

hehehehe

well one positive for them, the first 8 were meaningless....

[Kai]

oh and my guess..howard heads out after this season.

Morey's plan all along :lol

[AussieFanKurt]

:lmao :lmao

[Venti Quattro]

The Lakers are doing nothing really out of this world except for their criminally bad freethrow shooting.

[Nathan89]

tic-tac-toe nine in a row
Lakers got everything and they still blow

[ElNono]

tbh, not too late to go Kobe-hero-mode

[Venti Quattro]

Oh well, everything is now falling for Dallas. Bounce back tomorrow, I guess?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol wounded mavs taking a BIG OLE shit on the espn created hypejob

[Kai]

Who needs Dirk? :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Hero ball wow :lmao :lmao

[ElNono]

:lol Kobe going into "I'm getting mine" mode

[Samuel Eto'o]

Are we stacked? holy shit guys I think we might be stacked.

[Lincoln]

Nash looks useless out there in this offense

[Juggity]

Now that Kobe's made one circus shot, he's going to give himself license to take more circus shots

[ElNono]

Dwight Howard team-leading -12 plus/minus :lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I like the way the Mavs are playing tbh

[AussieFanKurt]

Poor Nashty, I want him to win a ring still

[da_suns_fan]

Vince Carter has looked great tonight.

Amazing that the Lakers have kobe bringing the ball up.

[da_suns_fan]

GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

:lol anybody walking right past Nash... there's still time for the Lakeshow getting 18 more FTs and tying this though

[Ashy Larry]

lol @ lakers

[Nathan89]

Mike Brown can't beat a team without their best player and nine new players:lmao

[BUMP]

mavs are a lottery team w/o dirk and the lakers have been winless since preseason, evenly matched i saaaiiiidddddddddddd

:lmao

[TimDunkem]

Brand shutting down Howard and Gasol. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

:lol criminal freethrow shooting
:lol 12/29

[Mav-elous Man]

I think its safe to say the lakers still cant defend on the perimeter. They will stll get eaten alive by quicker guards.

[ElNono]

:lol pick & roll defense
:lol Nash having fun

[da_suns_fan]

Brand was a great pickup.

[Kai]

Dwight with DAT BODY LANGUAGE

[skut_farkus]

Lmao Howard getting abused by curry and wright

[Mav-elous Man]

And the lakers bench sucks.

[Juggity]

Dwight's free throw shooting is just embarrassing

[da_suns_fan]

If the Lakers have a 100 million dollar payroll but dont score 90 points..how much is that per point?

[ElNono]

:lol Mike Brown
:lol Eddie Jordan
:lol stacked team can't score 90 pts
:lol princeton offense
:lol back to Shaq free throw shooting
:lol missing Bynun
:lol Steve Blake

[WeNeedLength]

[Arcadian]

So...who's still afraid of the Lakers?

[ElNono]

:lol +20 extra freebies and losing by 15
:lol Mike Brown defensive specialist
:lol no dirk, no problem

[Juggity]

:lmao

Fouled out in his debut. Wow. Gtfo Howard.

[WeNeedLength]

:lol

[ElNono]

Dwight fouled out :lmao

[Joyrider]

:lol Dwight Howard fouling out against Curry and Brand

[lefty]

Gasolol

[TimDunkem]

Gasol doesn't know how to catch anymore...

[da_suns_fan]

$1,111,111.11

Thats a lot...hahaha...and metta world peace turns it over.

It makes sense he would try to bring the ball up the court considering he has Kobe and Nash on his team.

[ElNono]

:lol gazillion dollar roster beat by Elton Brand, old Vince Carter and OJ Mayo

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Dwight with the vintage Monkeyball Jordan impression
:lmao Mitch Kupcake wasting his money
:lmao Mike Brown

[DAF86]

How many games 'till this princenton offense goes down the drain? I say 5.

[Joyrider]

:lol Miller making excuses for Lakers knowing Dallas is missing Dirk and has 9 new fucking players.

[WeNeedLength]

Reggie is trying to stuff a tampon up that Laker pussy to cover the bleeding. Stating the Lakers have "continuity" issues. Look at the Mavs roster for fucks sake! :lmao

[midnightpulp]

Where u been

Took a summer break. Following the Lakers major acquisitions, err, Lateral Moves, this place was a fuckin' hurricane of Lakerfag jizz. Rather than ride it out on the proverbial roof top, I got out of Nawlins for a bit.

[lefty]

Nicholson already left the building

[Malik Hairston]

Vince and Brand will be great bench players for the Mavs, as I said earlier..they need Beaubois to play on a consistent level like he did tonight, tbh..

[DAF86]

So...who's still afraid of the Lakers?

I am, but I also know that with all those TOSBs they aren't by any means a sure thing.

[crc21209]

:lol Dwight...

[Venti Quattro]

:lol 9 game losing streak

[ElNono]

91 points! watch out! :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Sons, the Lakers' free-throw shooting makes Shaq look like Chauncey Billups at the line.....

[AussieFanKurt]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[da_suns_fan]

Nice win Mavs!

[ElNono]

Time to overrate the Mavs.... LkrFan should start :downspin: this ish

[Venti Quattro]

Elnono and Clipper Nation are in heaven right now, lol.

[BUMP]

Mavs getting it done THE ALPHA WAY!, Jas Wit no helmet, don't go steering hurricanes, I have experienced something you never will, WTF TUBERVILLE, where would you rank this, etc

[Ashy Larry]

best thing about this game will be Mike Brown's post game comments ........ #CAN'T WAIT

[ElNono]

Elnono and Clipper Nation are in heaven right now, lol.

This isn't about us, tbh... but nice try at deflection... :lol

[timtonymanu]

Non-issue, tbh.

But still

:lol Lakers
:lol losing to a preseason roster
:lol Dwight
:lol Gasol
:lol Nash defense

[Clipper Nation]

Elnono and Clipper Nation are in heaven right now, lol.
We also put up the exact same number of assists tonight as Kobe did... :lol

[KaiRMD1]

Did the Lakers forget the season started? Also, looks like the Lakers inherited Howard'sejections as well.

[DPG21920]

You have to think Nash is talented enough to adjust, but he looked very, very off tonight. Just all out of sorts, couldn't establish any sort of pace or rhythm and couldn't get his own looks enough.

[Jacob1983]

How the hell do the Mavs without Dirk and the Caveman beat the Lakers in Los Angeles on opening night? What does it say about the Lakers?
