Lakers vs Mavs

[cobbler]

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 nets 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 out. You can meet the Spurs at South Padre Island next week for their fishing trip.

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.

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.

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!

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?

Lakers are done.

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

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?

Been hearing it for years. Right before the parades!

Now the real FACT is...

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.

Now that is the true meaning of "done".

Pau Gasol looks EXHAUSTED. What's up with the guy? You guys say he's playing soft but he just always looks gassed to me.

Honestly? And no BS, the word is he is still suffering a bit from complications of a upper respiratory infection he had weeks ago causing him to fatigue easily. Who knows how true that is but as you said he just doesnt look like he has the pep.

Yes, a #8 farm team which just snatched HCA from the team you "barely scraped by" last year.

See ya in Padre, hijo.
