*** Officially Mavs @ Lakers Game 2 Thread ***

[stretch]

i was just trying to find something in your post i could use that throw away joke on tbh imho calf tats, etc

lefty style?

[jag]

Dirk doesn't have to throw elbows or get techs to be a physical leader during this series. All he needs to is lay out Kobe or Fisher one time when they try to waltz through the paint. It amazes me how he'll just watch guys go straight to the hoop. If he'd get his body into Kobe, Kobe would go flying.

tbh he will do that earlier in games because he knows he cant afford to get in foul trouble. later in games, if he has plenty of fouls to give, or its a very key stop, he will step up and contest it, usually doing so pretty well. he did it a number of times against Portland.

Mavs 44
Lakers 29

Both these teams suck.

[frodo]

tbqh, they have some damn good shooters in Peja, Barea, and Terry.

A lot of Mavs fans may disagree strongly, but the Mavs need to utilize Barea more. His ability to penetrate and break defenses down is the biggest defensive weakness of the Lakers. If he goes in there, focused on not killing his dribble unless he either has a wide open pass, or an easy layup, he is going to eat them alive. He gets himself into trouble though when he kills his layup, thinking something is there, then is taken away at the last second (due to his lack of height)

dem s all inconsistent as london's weather tbh. Peja dropped 20+ pts in game 1 which helped alot obviously but u ain't seeing the same output from him every ing game in this series. JET/Peja just been performing far above their usual level but the hot hands ain't gonna last long im afraid.

as good as Barea da nig seems to be, i'd rather suggest use him less the following games tbh. the lakers ALMOST won game 1 imo with a 16-pt lead at one time in the 3rd qtr i believe, they just choked hard somehow and blew away a W, but i ain't seeing it happening again in this series. fluke win may come twice, but it ain't coming for a 3rd time imho. Lakers in 6
