Playoff Matchup Round 2: Lakers (2) vs Mavericks (3)

What point are you trying to make? I think it's common sense if you take away the best player on a team that team won't win a series.

 

The real MVP is showing how its done! not srs

My boy dirk doing work tho i think theres a good chance the mavs will

sweep but get the feeling they might lose a tight game at home

 

Wow, how did Bos/Mia get their game moved all the way to Sat?

 

Sort of like the same in 09, Houston didn't have Dikembe Mutombo; Yao Ming (for 4 games); and no Tracy McGrady

The Lakers needed all 7 to beat us.

Ultimately, this is all because they no longer have Adam Morrison.

 

It will be nice to have two surprise teams in the WCF.

Hoping for a Heat-OKC final.

Lots of good matchups there.

 

What about the supposed best closer in the game entering with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and doing nothing while watching his team fall farther behind? Kobe didn't score in the fourth until the game was pretty much decided.

 

KD is still growing up. Anyway, he shredded the Lakers late in the season for 31 points on 15 shots. He doesn't struggle against physical nearly as much as he used to.

Artest kicked LeBron's behind very hard a few times before LeBron figured him out.

 

Yeah and if you take away Pau the Lakers can't even make it past the first round. Oh wait thats exactly what happened when they didn't have Pau, lmao.

 

lmfao OWNED

 

I believe the NBA had OKC/MEM and BOS/MIA slotted to play on the same days of the week, alternating with DAL/LAL and ATL/CHI. Just in case MEM/SA had gone 7 games, they had to put in today as an off day.

I don't like it either. The next definite "off day" is a week from Saturday because the NBA prefers to shove game 7s for ATL/CHI and DAL/LAL to Sunday.

 

Thanks for doing that research. I knew his numbers were pretty ridiculous that series but I forget just how incredible.

 

repped ...

take away Elie's 3 and their wouldnt have been any "Clutch City"

 

Game 3 is really a close out game for Dallas.... No way LA comes back from 0-3....So Im expecting Dallas to lose big at home tomorrow.......same way Pacq kicks Mosley's butt all over the ring Sat...

 

Size is not overrated as morey would said. The Mavs stacked up with 7ft ers because they knew ultimely, you need size and quickness to beat the lakers. Terry and JJ are quick guys the lakers cant compete with. Haywood and Chandler are the 2 bigs who will always meet players at the rim. Marion is a good defender on kobe who still will score and rebound. Dirk is the superstar they cang guard. Toughness is the only issue with dallas,not talent.

 

take away Hydrogen from H2O and you would just have Oxygen

 

Any comment from Artest yet on what the hell he was thinking there? That was terribly unwise.

 

should be a suspension for artest. he went into pacers ron mode.
