NBA: Lakers at Mavericks on ABC

[ElNono]

Dallas is a terrible team whose record reflect how bad they are... THAT is what cost them the game.

[LkrFan]

Not sure why people are blaming the officiating. It wasn't great, but it didn't seem to me that it was the reason the Lakers won. That stretch of free throws seemed pretty legit. Howard took I believe 4 of those free throws and I'm sure Dallas was more than willing to put him on the line. And while Mayo's foul on Kobe's lay-up attempt was kind of soft, replay showed it was a legit foul on Kobe's arm. If Kobe makes the lay-up, maybe they let it go. As for Mayo's technical, don't see an issue with that either especially when the refs had already showed a quick whistle with that stuff on Kobe in the first half. Are they supposed to officiate differently in the 4th quarter and let that go when they called Kobe for a technical earlier for a comparable reaction? Plus, the game still had to be won by clutch shooting by Kobe and Nash. And they did that.

Good win for the Lakers. Now 2 games behind Houston in the loss column, with still a head-to-head match-up, and a game in hand. Kobe was great. Aside from a few poor decisions that led to a few too many turnovers and still some porous defense, he played a complete game at least offensively.

The goods. Props.

Why would I say it was a typo, I don't really pay much attention in what I write on a message board, which I see you do because that's all you have, would you say what you say about Mexican's in front of them? I don't think so, your one of those gossipy es that talks behind other's back I bet.

Did it again!

And lol at saying you don't pay attention to what you write. YOUR (this is the correct usage of your, btw) somewhat proper grammar says otherwise. Obviously you do pay attention. It's just that YOUR tiny bean3r brain expends so much mental energy writing somewhat grammatically correct sentences (which I commend you for, actually. I bet YOU'RE considered the Einstein of the familia, aren't you? "Mijo is real smart. He go to the Junior College."), you simply don't have enough working brain cells left to differentiate between YOUR and YOU'RE.

Dr. Buss dying was the best thing that could have happened to the Lakers' season tbh. Bad for their future obviously but helps them tremendously during this season.

That makes no sense. That's like saying you can't get emotional over a good story/movie even though you know it's fake.

What a terrible and nonsensical analogy. When you watch a movie/read a book you haven't previously seen, you don't know the outcome. When you claim to know something is rigged, yet STILL watch and expect a different result it makes you a simple person.

If you really do think it's a rigged game, then investing as much time (and money) as you do in it makes you unbelievably stupid. It means your parents failed you and you're an uninteresting person.

Hey Relevancy, now that Stern's forcing your Lakers into the playoffs, aren't you going to stop pretending to be a Clipperfan now?

Didn't I tell you that the Lakers where my first team choice.. Clippers being the second.. I just haven't changed the Clippers logo

Wow, midnightpulp is angry and racist.

I'm going to watch The Wire Season 3 again. If they kill off Stringer Bell this time I'm gonna be PISSED.

"Mexican's" is also incorrect I think.

Yeah. Because communicating what YOU'RE trying to say as clearly as possible isn't important at all in a forum that's medium of communication is the written word.

But in the interest of respecting those posters from different countries, I'll give you a pass if English is your second language.

Which it probably is

As are most Laker fans.

That said, props on learning the language of the land. I can't hate on you too much now.

[Relevancy]

Yeah dude luckily we got that settled.

[Mugen]

Congrats and welcome.

[midnightpulp]

Who's this?

[Relevancy]

Who's this?

When I first joined this site I guess I wanted to put a (funny i mean) picture, don't know if its funny or not so don't judge me.

It's just a Mexican rapist I think

[Relevancy]

Congrats and welcome.

It's a great analogy, tbh. While *you* might not know the outcome, you likely to know what the movie is about, and definitely already know the outcome has already been set.

People put money and time on such entertainment all the time, and none of their parents failed, since they did it themselves.

People pay to be entertained, the outcome, rigged or not, is a secondary concern.
