Mavs at Lakers

[j-money24]

Mavs-Lakers games always like this;

We toy with them for a little, give them light, then just snatch their hearts just like that.

new garbage puzzle?

[TheNextGen]

son. Mavs suck..i HOPE they stay in 8th so the Lakers can give them another 1st round sweep.

[TampaDude]

Mavs choke away yet another one...

[aka_USAPA]

I'm sure you had that opinion 14 months ago.

Oh yeah. Let's live in the past, shall we? Where do we begin? the 14 NBA championships the Lakers won? How many les do the Mavs have? Let's not even go there.

Dirk may be the better player but Pau is not that far behind and when all is said and done, Pau might end up to be the more accomplished player. As I mentioned in another thread, Pau is a better fit for the Lakers than Dirk. He is more versatile, a superior low post player, players a lot better defense, won't back down, and a very smart player. I don't think the Lakers would have gone as far as they did last year with Dirk instead of Pau in the lineup.

[TampaDude]

The Lakers were just shooting some shots. Just another fake regular-season win. Nothing to see here, folks.

[Brazil]

So Mav / Portland against Atl and Utah with Loss, nice sunday.

[pauls931]

La had to win this one because they don't want to give a first round opponent any confidence.

[BlackSwordsMan]

SD messed up one time
No big deal.

God dayum you're an idiot.

[aka_USAPA]

That's your best shot? Living in the past and coming up with...

"God daym you're an idiot." dig? Sad.

I'll give you E for effort.

Nobody said anything about the Lakers 14 les first off.

Second off Pau may accomplish more in the team sense, kinda helps playing alongside Kobe Bryant (only kinda), but as far as individual accolades he will never make an all-NBA 1st team or win an MVP like beloved Dirk.

[iggypop123]

wow i was right. terry wents nuts from the 3 line and once he cooled down the mavs died a fast death.

If you're going to live in the past, then let's re-live the past.

I will bet that when all is said and done, Pau will have a ring and Dirk won't. And I will also bet Karl Malone, who is twice the PF Dirk will ever be will be first to tell you he'd trade both regular season MVP and All-NBA 1st Team awards for a ring.

I'm sure you can't relate.

Robert Horry > Kobe Bryant is what you're saying basically.

[LEONARD]

ANOTHER top notch prediction by SD...

[BUMP]

i never, at one point, thought we would win this game...

when we were down by 15, up by 3 in the 4th. ever since blowing a 27 point lead at Staples in 02, i never feel like we will win there as long as Kobe is on that team, and almost every Mav fan knows my frustration. this is basically a quick summary of how the Mavs have played at Staples forever, come close to winning at the end, maybe take a quick lead until LA turns on another gear and rips their heart out. we just have nobody who is as tough as Kobe who will be able to shut him down, or match him on offense

[aka_USAPA]

Robert Horry > Kobe Bryant is what you're saying basically.

Ahhhhh, you're true colors come out. Not only are you so desperate you are putting words in my mouth, you can't even read.

So tell me, how is Horry is greater than Kobe? The floor is now yours. Explain!!!

Gasol was just damn hot last night, even hotter than an erected . our boys in blue should have tried double-team or something alike to cool him out but we didn't, because we don't have a decent center like Perkins who made Gasol suck through all the 6 games in the nba finals of last season.

Dampier earns times more than Perkins does but he only played 9 min last night, during the rest 41 min we had to put either bass or singleton against gasol. Although Dampier grabbed 7 rebs last night, which was pretty efficient for his 9-min game time, Dampier still did a poor job last night like he always does. I think our guys in blue would have played better if Bynum had played and started for the lakers at C, at least Dirk can prevent Gasol making 12 of his total 13 shots. Dampier takes over 10m every year from our team but what he contributes to us isn't much more than what we can get from a srub center who earns about 2-3m per year. and what's worse is that Dampier's outrageous contract still has two entire seasons left out of this season, that makes his garbage contract less valuable than the 10-retiring garbage contracts like tmac's.

They all did a ty job covering Gasol.

At least Dampier would have grabbed a rebound. We win if Damp is in those finals minutes getting those rebounds.
