LOL at Jason Terry... who does he think he is driving hard into the paint like that? He should have stayed outside where he belongs and done one of his pull up jumpers. That was one of the most embarassing things I've ever seen. Eat it Terry.
I agree. I don't see why people are happy about this. I understand you hate the Mavs. But, they didn't even lose a spot. The Lakers, on the other hand, are in the Rockets stratosphere and we need them to lose so we can pass them again. Plus, I really, really hate the Lakers.
This is very true. Along with Sasha, Luke Walton and Ronny Turiaf had huge contributions. Also Luke had the coolest move of the season when he fell out of bounds onto the Mavs bench, sat their for a while acting like a Mav player observing the game, patted the shoulders of the 2 Mav players on each side of them and then used their shoulders to prop him back up into the game. Classic.
Not that impressive actually. Dont take anything from a Laker's maniac too seriously. Dallas had a lid on the lakers for most of the game. Their scrubs like Walton, Sasha came through for them at the end. Very similar to the game between minny and us. The difference is when Tmac doubled, our scrubs folded.
Fakers suck, Hate Dallas even more. Rooted for Lakers, Great Lakers win to end Mavs Streak, now both teams suck again. Tim
I am not sure but they replayed a few times on Fox West. It was definitely something a move you don't see everyday in the NBA. But it was in the context of the game since he fell onto the Mav's bench, it was planned or forced.
Good Lord. He grabbed his wrist and yanks down on his arm it was an obvious foul. Not his hand but his wrist. The refs blew it.
It was a legal block by the NBA definition. Any part of the hand that is contact with the ball is considered part of the ball. Perfect call. Even if it was a bad call, which it was not, the Lakers were getting screwed by the refs earlier in the game and have been getting screwed over the last few weeks so it would have to take about 10 of these no-calls to begin to even start to make up the disparity.
Luke is the big deal in Laker's land these days after Lamar was out. The guy is pretty savvy in getting good shots. Did you catch the FSW speical, luke before the bigs?
I was a foul. Even on the replay, Stu Lance changed it was not foul to hand is part of the ball... Ref swallowed whistle on that one.
Yeah I watched the Luke one and how he played PG for his high school basketball team even as tall as he was. Explains a lot of his passing skills.
Not only stu lance said so. The NBA TV guy on highlights said the same thing. The Mavs were 2 pts behind when the so-called foul happened. No Mavs players, no Avery Johnson and even no Mark Cuban said a damn word about this foul after the game. Mark Cuban was all class after the game praising Phil Jackson & Kobe. It seems they dont think it's a foul. Maybe Mark Cuban really has learned a thing or two after attending David Stern University.
It doesn't matter who said what. The fact is that the only part of Terry's hand that Smush made contact with was wrapped around the ball. Legal block
