Mavs vs Lakers Gamethread

[Findog]

What is up with Josh Howard lately? I'm not even talking about his shooting, but the fact that he is completely a no show on the boards as well.

Is he just in a funk or is he trying to do too much?

I think he's butthurt over his boys being in Jersey now, plus he's been dealing with a lingering back contusion. But he's just been demonstrating low, low basketball IQ, even for him, and not really having his head in the game. Makes me wonder if there's stuff going on in his personal life.

[picnroll]

It just means he won't be back in 8 weeks, more likely 10 weeks which is what we all thought would happen in the 1st place.
Thanks for the update Dr Jeff.

Which teams bandwagon did you hop off of again?

[Findog]

Kobe's just playing the game he's supposed to play. No surprised here. Lebron is the real MVP. Btw Dallas looks tired. The schedule has been too hectic. Stackhouse needs to go to an old mans home. Uhh

Stack's shot isn't falling, but it's not like he's actually wearing a Laker uniform, which you might as well say of Josh.

[Allanon]

The thing with the Lakers' depth is the right combination of skillsets in their young players:
Ariza is a good man defender, but a poor jumpshooter
Walton is a good passer, but can't guard a chair
Vujacic is a good shooter, but can't defend without fouling
Fisher is a good scoring guard, but can't defend quicker guards
Farmar is probably the most well-rounded of their bench players


I agree with you on most points. Vujacic is actually a very good defender and does not get those stupid fouls he used to get 50 feet from the basket. Not Bowen good but pretty good.

Laker team defense was top 3 in the league with Bynum and Ariza healthy. With Bynum in the middle, none of these offensive rebounds that teams have been living on with Pau as the Center. Bynum also defends penetration well due to his size and long arms.

Right now Laker have Elite offense and above average defense. Bynum and Ariza should really bolster their defense.

[Warlord23]

Finley = poor defensive player
Bowen+Udoka = no offense

If they were the players you think they are the Spurs wouldn't struggle to score every night outside of their big 3.

Bruce is a 41% shooter from 3-point land, while Udoka is a respectable 33%. Finley is a weak link in the D, but he's improving

[picnroll]

Kobe sure is a whiny player

[LakerMagic]

Weve got this game.

[LakerMagic]

Im just curious when Bynum became a damn all star....

if he hadn't of gotten injured who knows? He'll be one next year no doubt.

[LakerMagic]

nice Kobe!

[T Park]

I didn't know you could become an all star when your game consisted of a dunk.

[hitmanyr2k]

There's not a bigger free throw begger in this league than Kobe Bryant. Everytime the guy drives he yells like he's getting hit by a truck.

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

Dwight Howard?

[MajicMan]

Kobe needs to shut the fuck up ..he's not getting any calls now

[picnroll]

Kobe whining again. the guy mouths off every time he loses the ball or misses a shot. Worst in the league

[DazedAndConfused]

These refs are FUCKING joke.

[LakerMagic]

I didn't know you could become an all star when your game consisted of a dunk.

come on dude, don't be ignorant. Bynum has skills.

[DazedAndConfused]

Fucking Bavetta hates the Lakers. I hate that fucking blind old fuck.

[picnroll]

Kobe needs to shut the fuck up ..he's not getting any calls now
He's not getting any calls because he's not getting fouled.

[J Zone]

I didn't know you could become an all star when your game consisted of a dunk.

??

[Findog]

Weve got this game.

Yes you do. You can go ahead and make this deposit, the check will clear.

[DazedAndConfused]

What the fuck game are you watching dude? He's getting raked across the arms on nearly every drive.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Kobe leads the league with 12 technical fouls?
C'mon, Rasheed; time to step your game up!

[Amarelooms]

Fucking Bavetta hates the Lakers. I hate that fucking blind old fuck.

Like I said...win or lose...Mavs will be fine should the face the Fakers come playoff time. Scrubs like Walton, Farmar, Viuitch or whatever are of no real importance :elephant

[Amarelooms]

What the fuck game are you watching dude? He's getting raked across the arms on nearly every drive.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :elephant

[Findog]

Like I said...win or lose...Mavs will be fine should the face the Fakers come playoff time. Scrubs like Walton, Farmar, Viuitch or whatever are of no real importance :elephant

We can certainly hang with the Lakers, but Jackson is a better coach and Kobe is a better assassin. I'd have to give them a slight edge.

[picnroll]

What the fuck game are you watching dude? He's getting raked across the arms on nearly every drive.
I'm watching the Mavs - Lakers game Jeff. He's whining and nobodies touching him.

[Spuradicator]

Fucking Bavetta hates the Lakers. I hate that fucking blind old fuck.

Yeah Kobe got raped on some calls. I guess what goes around comes around.

[T Park]

Magloire looks pissed off not playing.

[DazedAndConfused]

You're NOT EVEN FACING THE LAKER TEAM REMOTELY AT FULL STRENGTH. If you can't beat us now, you will never be able to stop us in the playoffs.

[T Park]

Dampier is kicking Gasol's ass on the boards.

[T Park]

whoaaaa

Van Gundy says theres mention of Bynum not being back till the playoffs.

Ouch.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

You're NOT EVEN FACING THE LAKER TEAM REMOTELY AT FULL STRENGTH. If you can't beat us now, you will never be able to stop us in the playoffs.

*cue "Peanuts" teacher speaking*

[T Park]

You're NOT EVEN FACING THE LAKER TEAM REMOTELY AT FULL STRENGTH. If you can't beat us now, you will never be able to stop us in the playoffs.

The Laker team might never be 100%.

[T Park]

Thats a flagrant.

[LakerMagic]

Wow, Bravata actually called that foul

[DazedAndConfused]

Bavetta is a FUCKING JOKE. A FUCKING JOKE OF A REF. Fuck the NBA.

[Warlord23]

Who woulda thought Dampier would be owning Gasol on both ends of the floor, while Dirk is having a pathetic time of it no matter who's guarding him

[Findog]

I wish they'd call it flagrant, you don't want to get Kobe angry

[TDfan2007]

This has been one of the most poorly officiated games I've seen in a while.

[hitmanyr2k]

That's a 90's type foul lol.

[T Park]

Kobe going Tony parker from the FT line.

[DazedAndConfused]

This game makes no sense.

[TDfan2007]

LA has completely melted down this quarter.

[T Park]

This has been one of the most poorly officiated games I've seen in a while.

Violet Palmer + Rookie + Bavetta = shit

[LakerMagic]

Bullshit!

[Findog]

Since when did we trade Dampier for Dwight Howard?

[DazedAndConfused]

Fuck this game is complete bullshit. This is the worst referring I've ever seen.

[T Park]

I make no sense.


Fixed.

[picnroll]

Lakers all crying. Good times

[TDfan2007]

omfg how is that a foul on Odom?

I swear Dirk gets more phantom calls than ANYONE I've ever seen play this game.

[T Park]

Fuck this game is complete bullshit. This is the worst referring I've ever seen.


Should we pull out your quotes concerning the refs during the Spurs Mavs game the other night?

[DazedAndConfused]

You think I give a shit about this regular season game? Fuck I could care less about a win or a loss.

[Amarelooms]

Fuck this game is complete bullshit. This is the worst referring I've ever seen.

Go wash your pussy :elephant

[T Park]

Lakers all crying. Good times

defensive pressure + agressive to the basket game = Lakers meltdown

[Findog]

I'm excited about what Kidd has done for Dampier. We've always gotten rebounds and solid interior d out of him, but if he can be a decent low-post scoring option, that gives us an element we've really been lacking.

[spursRgay]

:clap DAMPIER!!! :clap

[Slinkyman]

Since when did we trade Dampier for Dwight Howard?

I think it's the Gasol effect, anyone he guards turns into superman.

[T Park]

You think I give a shit about this regular season game? Fuck I could care less about a win or a loss.


:lmao

Liar.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Lakers all crying. Good times

:lmao

I see Odom has caught Kobe's terminal case of crybabyitis!
Good times indeed!

[picnroll]

I'm another in a long line of whiny Lakers' fans who always blames the refs when the Lakers are losing.

[Findog]

I think it's the Gasol effect, anyone he guards turns into superman.

Maybe so. "Pau Gasol" is Spanish for Amare Stoudemire.

[T Park]

Dampier looks good because of a combo of Gasol's defense and Kidd's passing.

[DazedAndConfused]

So you think the referring has been good tonight?

[Warlord23]

LA : 23 FTA, Dallas: 7 FTA. How much of an FTA edge do the Lakers need to feel happy with the officiating?

[word]

You think I give a shit about this regular season game? Fuck I could care less about a win or a loss.

You play 'could care less' really well. You had me fooled.

[T Park]

"This aint the NFL"

Oh stfu you whining bitch.

[spursRgay]

In case anybody was confused, Kobe is not playing in the NFL

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

So you think the referring has been good tonight?

"Referring" of who?

[LakerMagic]

Maybe so. Pau Gasol is Spanish for "Amare Stoudemire."

Little over a Qtr. left till you sport your new sig!

[picnroll]

The Machine. :lol

[T Park]

Spurs get their props during the game. Nice to see :)

[T Park]

Look whos 3rd in opponent's points? Hmmmmm


"Best coach in sports" wow Mark Jackson's comments just pissed off alot of people.

[TDfan2007]

I'm waiting for Kobe to lose it.

Lakers looking to get bailed out on every drive ala TD.

Dirk continues to suck.

Overall, I'm enjoying watching this :)

[picnroll]

Dayam, Dampier an all star

[TampaDude]

Spurs get their props during the game. Nice to see :)

Yup...the commentators are riding Pop's jock...and rightfully so! :toast

[Findog]

Little over a Qtr. left till you sport your new sig!

I agree. This one's in the bag for the Lakers.

[T Park]

The Machine. :lol

Almost like Sidney Green thinking he culd play like Dr. J.

[T Park]

Kidd got lucky Farmer (his man defensively) missed that three.

[Radiosparks]

Nice pass by Kidd!

[T Park]

:lol

Kobe just traveled and double dribbled all in the same possession.

Im sure the refs were fine there though.


Wow what a pass to Dampier.

Your leading scorer :lol

[StylisticS]

The hell has gotten into Dampier?

[T Park]

Dampier the damn MVP of the game so far.

[DazedAndConfused]

That quarter could not have gone any worse. Thank god we are still in the game. Damp has 4 fouls, if we can get another early one on him he'll be a non factor.

[Warlord23]

LMAO @ Dampier 16 pts/17 rebs in 3 quarters of play!

[picnroll]

Sasha "The Gadget" Vujacic

[T Park]

:lmao @ mavericks running int each other and almost giving up a 3 to Kobe :lmao

[ATXSPUR]

Dallas dodged a bullet there.

[DazedAndConfused]

Now do you see why we miss Bynum? If guys like Dampier can have career nights like this we won't be beating any elite teams in the playoffs.

[Amarelooms]

Dumb foul by Damp...stupid ass Stack should have foul Kobe outside

[Amarelooms]

Now do you see why we miss Bynum? If guys like Dampier can have career nights like this we won't be beating any elite teams in the playoffs.

Again you suck...go fuck yourself :elephant

[TDfan2007]

Lakers played a TERRIBLE 3rd and Dallas couldn't pull away because Dirk was too busy jacking up fadeaways...

[word]

Now do you see why we miss Bynum? If guys like Dampier can have career nights like this we won't be beating any elite teams in the playoffs.

Whadda you care ?

[Radiosparks]

That quarter could not have gone any worse. Thank god we are still in the game. Damp has 4 fouls, if we can get another early one on him he'll be a non factor.

If he does, I hope it's a hard one. :spin

[LakerMagic]

Again you suck...go fuck yourself :elephant

come on you know if we had Bynum, it be a different story.

[TampaDude]

Dampier is playing like a man possessed...

[spursRgay]

That quarter could not have gone any worse. Thank god we are still in the game. Damp has 4 fouls, if we can get another early one on him he'll be a non factor.
:lmao As long as they can get Damp out the Lakers got this game haha

[picnroll]

Avery if you aren't going to play Bass trade him to the Spurs for Bonner.

[td4mvp21]

Lakers will win, no doubt about it.

[TDfan2007]

Dampier is playing like a man possessed...

or he's playing like a man going against a soft frontline...


Tim is going to eat these guys alive in the playoffs, Bynum or not.

[boutons_]

neither team shooting 40%, the curse of National TV?

[spursRgay]

I wish I could grow a Phil Jackson beard, that baby is sweeeet

[T Park]

Phil didn't whine about the refs.

Shocking.

[ATXSPUR]

come on you know if we had Bynum, it be a different story.

Bynum better be a fucking god when he gets back as much as the fakeshow fans have been pimping him.

[td4mvp21]

Phil giving credit to the other team, what?!?

[T Park]

or he's playing like a man going against a soft frontline...


Tim is going to eat these guys alive in the playoffs, Bynum or not.


Dont tell that to dazed and stupid.

[Warlord23]

Fisher/Farmar/Vujacic: combined 6-21 from the floor

[T Park]

Phil giving credit to the other team, what?!?


Reverse Psychology.

[T Park]

The machine looks like the mason.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Fisher/Farmar/Vujacic: combined 6-21 from the floor

Heartbreaking.
:lmao

[spursRgay]

Vujacic jacking at will, and Dirk playing like balls

[picnroll]

Nodickski missing another fade away

[DazedAndConfused]

Oh lord we are having one of the worst offensive nights I've seen in a while. Kobe is gonna have to carry us to a win tonight.

[SpursFanFirst]

I can't even stand looking at Kobe Bryant...What is it about him that makes him look terribly smug, even when he's just standing at the line?

[spursRgay]

Bass is a BEAST!

[td4mvp21]

Fisher/Farmar/Vujacic: combined 6-21 from the floor

That's what is going to happen when they face a good defensive team.

[TDfan2007]

Bass is simply a beast. He's the anti-maverick...no 3-point touch and loves to take it strong to the basket.

[T Park]

Vujacic jacking at will, and Dirk playing like balls


This game must have fast forwarded to the playoffs

[TDfan2007]

WHAO! How old is Stack again?

[ATXSPUR]

Damn...stackhouse

[TDfan2007]

:lol :lol
This game must have fast forwarded to the playoffs

[DazedAndConfused]

Damn we just did not bring it today. So many blown transition opportunities.

[T Park]

Kidd to the bench, shall see how Dallas does now.

[Spurologist]

Damn...stackhouse

that was nice

[picnroll]

If Avery had played Bass more instead of Nodickski the Mavs would be up by 20

[T Park]

Damn we just did not bring it today. So many blown transition opportunities.


Or the Mavericks are a good defensive team.....

[Amarelooms]

Avery bout to lose the game with his horrible subs

[Warlord23]

Howard and Dirk trying their hardest to choke this game away :lmao

[T Park]

If Avery had played Bass more instead of Nodickski the Mavs would be up by 20


In about 2 minutes he oughtta sub Dampier for George, and then finish out the game with them.

[TDfan2007]

Jason Kidd has made the Mavs a perfect matchup against the lakers.


Btw where the hell have Dirk and Howard been?

Answer: With their heads up their asses, but the Mavs are still winning. Not a good sign for the Lakers...

[Amarelooms]

Howard and Dirk trying their hardest to choke this game away :lmao

Both have played awful...thats why I'm not worried bout the Fakers at all :elephant

[DazedAndConfused]

Or the Mavericks are a good defensive team.....

Yea they have played good defense, but we have missed a TON of easy fast break opportunities. And our we've shot like utter shit the entire game. Kobe is like 30% from the F/T line. It's just a bad game all around on offense today.

[T Park]

Yeah the Kidd addition made them better against everyone else, but the Spurs.

I'll take it :lol

[picnroll]

One thing Avery was right about, Mavs should trade Nodickski.

[icem]

dirk and howard are nowhere to be found.... big surprise lol

[T Park]

Yea they have played good defense, but we have missed a TON of easy fast break opportunities. And our we've shot like utter shit the entire game. Kobe is like 30% from the F/T line. It's just a bad game all around on offense today.


His finger could have a bit to do with it...

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

It's funny how a lot of the media out here were so overjoyed to get Mbenga.
That certainly died out quickly.

[T Park]

:lmao @ "The machine"

I love stiffs that get nicknames like him.

[picnroll]

The MACHINE!!!!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

Hahahaha Terrrrrrrry

[td4mvp21]

Terry hurt.

[T Park]

Uh oh, Terry down and down hard...

[hitmanyr2k]

I bet Spurs fans everywhere are :lol

[td4mvp21]

I'm not laughing.

[picnroll]

I bet Spurs fans everywhere are :lol
Bowen's got an alibi.

[Cry Havoc]

I bet Spurs fans everywhere are :lol

We never like to see anyone get hurt.

It is a bit ironic that Farmar took him out, of all players, though.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Did the Jet get knocked out by one of Farmar's ears?

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm not laughing.

Not even a smirk?

[Spurologist]

Correct call by Palmer there. Loose ball, Farmar got to it first and then collided with Terry. Terry just came out worse. Mavs better hope it's not a separated shoulder.

[T Park]

Wow they made a movie about bringing down the house, kick ass!!

[td4mvp21]

Not even a smirk?

When I saw them collide I smiled but when I saw Terry was hurt, that ended abruptly.

[JohnnySixString]

I don't know, Terry flopping about like his arm was literally ripped off was kind of funny.

[T Park]

God Howard just got raped by Walton there...

[hitmanyr2k]

Luke Walton danced to the rim. The refs are starting to swallow those whistles.

[LakerMagic]

Here we come with our run

[Warlord23]

Howard looks like he's heating up

[T Park]

You never laugh about another player getting hurt.

Thats not just unclassy, but bad karma.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Tough shot by Howard!

[td4mvp21]

About time they called that foul.

[T Park]

WTF does that say on the inside of Walton's bicep!?!?

[TDfan2007]

Parade to FT line for the Mavs?

[T Park]

The Raptors!??!

Who knew.

[TDfan2007]

Refs have been ridiculously inconsistent today...one minute they let everything go and the next everything is a foul.

[Zarko]

well since terry is hurt, avery won't make the same mistake of benching kidd at the end of the game...

[Warlord23]

It's gonna be Violet Palmer assisting Kobe Bryant from hereon in

[JohnnySixString]

You never laugh about another player getting hurt.

Thats not just unclassy, but bad karma.


He's not even hurt. It's like poking your little sister on the arm and she starts screaming hysterically for attention like she was stabbed or something.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Did Crackhouse just panic after going up for a WIDE open layup

[mFFL03]

good lord...dirk with no free throw attempts and we are ahead...this is unheard of....

right now it's 31 attempts vs 13 attempts........advantage lakers

[picnroll]

Here we come with our run
Does a bunch of FTs qualify as a run?

[T Park]

man Bryant is unreal basketball player.

[TDfan2007]

bailout call on Dampier. Pau had nowhere to go off that spin.

[T Park]

Where was that foul?

Gasol just flailed like

well

Dirk.

[ATXSPUR]

lakers need to just stand at the ft line...tons of fouls by dallas...I sense the choke coming.

[T Park]

gonna be a tie game here.

Mavericks need a bucket, BAD.

[mFFL03]

slowest..................moving................gam e................ever..............

[T Park]

tough shot by Irk.

[Spurologist]

Those Kidd jumpers can be ugly.

[T Park]

Lakers by 1.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bryant for MVP

[TDfan2007]

nice shot by Dirk and Kobe counters with his own 3. Good stuff.

[mFFL03]

why would you ever leave bryant.....fucking howard

[Spurologist]

Damn. Kobe with a 3 from several feet behind the arc

[T Park]

Whos the shotblocker that the Mavericks are worried about!?!

[T Park]

The Mason with another brick.

[TDfan2007]

Kobe owning the 4th as usual.

He and Manu are the best closers in basketball right now

[T Park]

Kobe bailing this team out.

[mFFL03]

ok put damp back in....i thought id never say that

[Pistons < Spurs]

Mavs are getting Kobe'd!!!!

[DazedAndConfused]

Sasha you picked a HELL OF A GAME to go 0/7 from 3pt land. For fuck sakes man, if you make even 30% of those we have a comfortable lead.

[T Park]

ABC finally comes out and says it with that music at the break

"I love LA"

[TDfan2007]

The Mason with another brick.

yeah, it's been a wierd Day. Dirk, Howard, and Vujacic are missing shots they normally make.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Whos the shotblocker that the Mavericks are worried about!?!


GASOL!!

[bdictjames]

Haha.. Lakers up by 3

Cmon Dallas.. show that you are still elite!

[T Park]

Sasha you picked a HELL OF A GAME to go 0/7 from 3pt land. For fuck sakes man, if you make even 30% of those we have a comfortable lead.


Either that, or when hes defended well in a pressure game, he uh, goes slovenian...

[DazedAndConfused]

This game is an anomaly all the way around. Both teams shooting like 36% from the field. Kidd hitting all his 3's, Dirk being a non option on offense, Sasha going 0/7 from the 3pt line, Kobe going 30% on his F/Ts. Just a strange game.

[T Park]

GASOL!!


Like I said..... :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lol

[DazedAndConfused]

Either that, or when hes defended well in a pressure game, he uh, goes slovenian...

You clearly haven't watched him all season. He has hit a ton of pressure 3's in close games for us. You don't get to be the #10 3pt shooter in the league on accident.

[Warlord23]

Sasha you picked a HELL OF A GAME to go 0/7 from 3pt land. For fuck sakes man, if you make even 30% of those we have a comfortable lead.

Oh come off it ... you think Nowitzki, Howard and Stackhouse go 11/42 on a daily basis. Both teams are showing their kinks - Dallas doesn't have much apart from tough iso shots when they dont get out on the break, and LA's shooters are folding under pressure.

[T Park]

This in all seriousness would be exactly what the playoffs would look like if these two teams met.

[J Zone]

Either that, or when hes defended well in a pressure game, he uh, goes slovenian...

The Machine is broken

because he been wide open on most of those bricks

[Spurologist]

The problem with face is that he's always at one pace. He lacks savy. Dirkie just made a J. Why does Bass get critical touches? The same thing happened in San Antonio. Bass made everything then crashed badly in the fourth

[T Park]

You clearly haven't watched him all season. He has hit a ton of pressure 3's in close games for us. You don't get to be the #10 3pt shooter in the league on accident.


Yeah ok, cause games in November, are CLEARLY an indicator you can hit pressure 3s. Genius :tu

[Allanon]

ABC playing a cool beat of that California Dreamin song....nice

[DazedAndConfused]

Oh come off it ... you think Nowitzki, Howard and Stackhouse go 11/42 on a daily basis. Both teams are showing their kinks - Dallas doesn't have much apart from tough iso shots when they dont get out on the break, and LA's shooters are folding under pressure.

did you read my previous post? I said both teams were shooting like shit from the field and missing uncharacteristic shots. LA shooters are indeed clanking left and right tonight, but it's because it's an off night. Not anything else.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

bwahaha "gasol is an underrated shot blocker"

gtfo

[T Park]

The Machine is broken

because he been wide open on most of those bricks

You guys are setting yourselves up for serious dissapointment in the playoffs.

[DazedAndConfused]

Sasha for the love of GOD stop shooting the ball.

[T Park]

Nice defense by Stackhouse there

[TDfan2007]

"Nowitzki draws most of the contact...those are not fouls"

I love JVG.

[T Park]

Bad call, thats at the very least a no call on that block.

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't see Kidd making things easier for the Mavs down the stretch in a half court game.

[T Park]

"Nowitzki draws most of the contact...those are not fouls"

I love JVG.


Cuban won't be buddy buddy with him like he was before the game anymore now.

[Spurologist]

Sasha for the love of GOD stop shooting the ball.

What's his name again?

[ATXSPUR]

Dirk is choking

[Warlord23]

I loathe the Mavs, but they're getting the short end of the refereeing. On LA's possessions even the slightest contact puts someone on the line, whereas the refs are letting them play at the other end

[T Park]

Bryant pulls a Dirk, flails, gets a foul.

[DazedAndConfused]

Kobe carry us to victory tonight. Nobody else is stepping up.

[nkdlunch]

Dirk choking again

[T Park]

Dirk choking again

Grass is green.

Sky is blue....

[Spurologist]

Dirk is choking

It's in his DNA. Cubie is currently spending millions of dollars to try and isolate that gene so it can be eliminated.

[J Zone]

You guys are setting yourselves up for serious dissapointment in the playoffs.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see
:elephant

[T Park]

Seemed like a flop?

Breem IT WAS A FLOP :lol

[StylisticS]

lol...nice flop Dirk. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao

You Mavs fans can never talk about flopping again.

[DazedAndConfused]

When Kobe gets free throws he almost always gets FOULED. Can't say the same about Dirk.

[T Park]

When did Dirk earn all this respect?

[TampaDude]

Dirk with the flop...

[bdictjames]

You know the Mavs are having a tough time when Erick Dampier is their best player

[mFFL03]

too bad there was a body bumping him....if there wasn't, then it would be a flop

[TDfan2007]

Dirk flailing like a bitch again and getting the call...wow.

[TampaDude]

Damn...back and forth...OT, anyone???

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Kobe barely has 1 foul this late in the game?
Same with Paula??!??
:wtf

[mFFL03]

god officiating is ruining this game

[Warlord23]

Whistle-happy for the last few minutes

[StylisticS]

I really despise watching games called by Bavetta. I really really really do.

[Kriz-Maxima]

It was a complete and total flop.

[TDfan2007]

Dirk with a tough shot. Gotta hand it to the guy, he's stepped up in the 4th.

[DazedAndConfused]

Kobe vs. Dirk. I love this.

[T Park]

Stupid foul by Dampier there.

[TampaDude]

Kobe...and 1!

[TDfan2007]

Kobe taking it to the rim like a man and getting rewarded. Dirk should take lessons...
