Mavs vs Lakers Gamethread

[T Park]

You can drive and kick on the Lakers all day.

God Tony Parker is gonna have fun at the next matchup.

[DazedAndConfused]

Too easy. Kobe always gets the easy look on these plays.

[T Park]

The Pistons are deep, but man, Radmanovic is probably the 11th best player on the Lakers, and he's been a starter.

Give me a break, Radmanovic sucks.

[ClingingMars]

Don Nelson, Larry Brown, John Lucas, Dan Issel, and Popovich.


Not bad teachers.

bingoooooooooo

@ Bryant

[TampaDude]

The Spurs have something to say about it too...

True...but to be fair, the Pistons' bench is a bit deeper than the Spurs' bench right now...at least until we get Barry back and Horry (hopefully) regains his playoff form.

Avery showed more basketball knowledge in that clip than D'Antoni being miked up has for the past 4.

I noticed he always just sounds more like a cheerleader than a coach.

[T Park]

Kobe and others better pray that no one hits the out of that hand....

[Findog]

I can't believe Kidd and Dampier are dissecting the Laker defense, while Howard and Dirk are sucking hard

Dirk will eventually get it going. Hey, I'll take being down 50-47 when we're playing 6 on 4, since Josh might as well be wearing a blue and gold jersey.

[T Park]

OOOOO what a shot

too bad it doesn't count

[ClingingMars]

heck of a shot even though it didnt count

-Mars

[pking]

The only thing Stack can knock down wont count, of course.

[DazedAndConfused]

how many free throws has Bryant missed tonight. We should be up by way more than this, too many missed wide open 3pt looks. Gotta tighten things up in the 2nd half.

[T Park]

Kobe giving short Duncan like answers.

[Findog]

Has Kobe had trouble shooting FTs since the finger injury? Just curious, he's an 85% shooter normally

[pking]

'shootin' freethrows like crap.' Ha, I love it when they're honest.

[Spurologist]

Crackhouse always makes those. That's his signature play

[T Park]

I thought Kobe and Vanessa were getting a divorce?

He comes down the hall and gives her a fake kiss!?!

Whackos...

[Allanon]

Lakers self-combusted a bit there at the end and Mavs shooting the lights out from 3.

But Laker 3rd quarters are usually pretty good.

Right.

Statisfied by what I see....win or lose...the Mavs will be fine should they face the Lakers come playoff time

Mavs have trended the opposite way in the 3rd quarter this year. Not a good sign for us.

[T Park]

Kobe is shooting with 4 fingers, dunno why hes so pissed.

[DazedAndConfused]

Nah Kobe is just having an off game. Since we got Gasol he has been shooting 50% from the field, which is as good as he has ever shot.

[Findog]

Of course the scary thing is that Kobe was being a facillitator in the first half and trying to get his teammates going. He'll start looking for his shot more in the 4th.
