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

Just got back from the game and that interview.
He also mentioned the ridiculous mental lapses that they suffered in that 4th quarter run by the Mavs.
Their defensive effort mentally was so subpar it was embarrasing. To their credit they all touched on it and know they effed up. Pau also didnt hide and spoke to everyone but everyone there believes he is so out of it this series. IMHO It's just about pointless for him to even bother leaving the team hotel on Sunday for the game.

The Mavs have not been in such form since the end of game 2 of the 2006 finals.
Their play in that 2007 season was always fool's gold and really this team they have now would smack that 2006 Mavs team silly.
Also, the atmosphere at the arena was BRILLIANT! Haven't seen the AAC rocking like that since the series against the Spurs in 2006. Not even in the 06 finals was it this intense.
Oh, and the Dallas cocaine and boobjob crowd was out there but they were actually into the game. (The boobjob crowd was fantastic tonight, those blonde, fake boob ladies were showing out tonight, it was magnificent. )

 

Wow, Gasol won them 2 rings and they already turned on him. I guess they forgot how awesome the first round and lottery was.

Also why is this so shocking? 3 seed beating a 2 seed.

 

It's very shocking when the 2 seed is a two-time defending champion, down 0-3, their coach has won 11 championships, their superstar has won 5 and the 3 seed is a (recent) playoff choking team like the Mavs.

Absolutely nobody saw 0-3 coming.

 

F yeah the mavs beat the lakers!

 

They're Lakers fans. Nuff said.

 

All this without Caron Butler

 

ha I was going to post this exact statement

 

Thats how it is in LA

They forgot about Shaq the second he was traded...still hate to acknowledge those 3 rings would've never been here had this guy not have been the most unstoppable force in the league

...Gasol is the scape goat at the moment.

Dont you wonder why they arent talking about Kobe being a leader anymore?

They only do that front runner talk when LA is winning... now all of a sudden Gasol is the main downfall of the team alone.

Thats just like saying there was only one rogue ref in the NBA

EF YEAH! dallas came back with like less than 4 mins left! gg mavs. sweep the lakers? pretty crazy huh

 

Well his play is a pretty big reason, as evidenced by his atrocious decision making on defense tonight.

 

I feel a sweep by the mavs? against the laker? unlreal

 

This is pretty insane

and I am laughing my ass off reading the lakers board

 

complete meltdown mode is going on right now for all lakers fans. Gotta admire some of them they believe they are going to win four in a row.

 

Jesus - Gasol is the Laker's right now what Snoop is to English teachers.

That was ****ing painful to read...

 

really shows their expertise in the field right

 

Bayless is being a little rough on Kobe. I want to know who called two straight iso plays for Odom at the end of the game. What the hell?

 

i think odom called his own number. but kobe should screamed, ran, maybe even picked up a ref and threw him at odom to get the ball in his hands.

 

I don't know why people are bashing Laker fans for bashing. If Gasol gave helped get us 2 titles but played like he has in these playoffs we would be bashing him.
