Mavericks vs Lakers Game Blog

you can go choke on your own regurgitated excuses now...or alternately, pee in your pants at the prospect of matching up agains the mavs next week and bring your excuses with you, you'll need them....all of them.

What in the are you talking about? I was referring to Walton being activated, which I did not know and replied that he was probably rusty as . What is your problem?

[Kori Ellis]

Wow, they actually passed up on him. That would've stopped the Bowen is old and needs to go thread. I only hope they had a good reason to take Barbosa and then trade him. Why didnt they keep him? him being babosa. was beno looking like a promising prospect?

They drafted Barbosa FOR Phoenix. It was a pre-arranged deal, the Spurs didn't have any intention of drafting him for themselves.

Have I said what a sucky game this is?

my problem is that you are little stupid suns fan who THOUGHT he was going to follow the mavs/lakers game and root for a mavs loss....

Well, apparently when Walton and Odom were playing before their injuries they knew where their sweet spots were. Kobe doesn't know how to play team ball on a regular basis. He is trying to take impossible shots and forcing everything which isn't working at all.

Again I'm asking you who are these players with sweet spots? You can't be talking about Kwame, Sasha, Evans, Smush. Or are you? Kobe is a bit of a ball hog no question about it. That's what happens when you're that good and you're not a PG. But to knock him for not passing the ball enough when half the team is out is laughable. Luke and Odom play the initiator role as well, so their role is to pass the ball more. And to be honest Kobe is not nearly the passer that Luke is and he's about the same as a passer as Odom is. That's why even though Luke sucks at defense we're getting killed without him.

Not quite. I have enough intelligence to know that the Lakers did not stand a chance in to win tonight.

I would assume that Walton and Odom would know since I think they rack up some assists. They play team ball.

nashfan wants it both ways...his argument is that three players are out and his argument is that kobe is a ballhog and that's the reason they're losing

anyway, i do agree that kobe is a bit of a ballhog but he's greatly improved in that area, although, tonight is not really indicative of that because two of the guys he would normally pass to are out...i will say though, that i've seen vujacic play very good offense and there is no excuse for the bigs, they should be more productive, especially kwame who IMO has always been an underachiever.

[SequSpur]

don't you all have something better to do? If you are bored with that, then try your other hand flipped over.. it really works...

Mavs on a roll. When did Kwame come back?

[ShoogarBear]

What's the Lakers' biggest-ever home loss?

[ponky]

not sure, at least a week or so, couple of games

What an odd thing to do.

[Purple & Gold]

Yeah because they get to pass the ball to Kobe.

Also one player that has to be doubled is not nearly as effective as having 2 players on the court that commands a double. It's easier for role players to score. But come on now do I really have to explain this to you.

[ponky]

What's the Lakers' biggest-ever home loss?

must be a lot bigger than this, otherwise the announcers would start talking about it

[SpursDynasty]

This game is pointless. As I've said before, 27 of the teams in the NBA SUCK against the Mavericks.

I see Dallas shooting a bunch of open jump shots. What's changed?

[itzsoweezee]

the lakers are scoring now that mamba isn't ballhogging. maybe if he hadn't dug them in a big hole, the lakers could've made this game compe ive.

Boy, you sure assume a lot. I do not think the Lakers could beat the Mavs with those players playing either. They are losing in part because Kobe is a ballhog, but they had no chance in of beating the Mavs under any cir stances.

[efrem1]

30-point deficit at home? Have the Lakers and Clippers merged?

[boutons_]

If Mavs are up 30 to start the 4th,
I wonder if AJ will try to run up the score,
teach Phil how to coach basketball.

[ponky]

this often happens with foreigners...spurs didn't know they were going to get barbosa when they traded the draft rights to the suns and regardless, they probably wouldn't have known much about barbosa when they drafted him

look at the bucks, they traded dirk away for tractor traylor
