Right now the Mavs are up by 19 in the 3rd quarter! Lakers have completely collapsed mentally in the 3rd quarter. That Artest trade sure is looking mighty fine now.
I swear I thought I was watching the Jazz and Lakers...Don't like the new Mavs jerseys. Artest needs time to adjust to there system like Ariza to ours...saying that I think the Lakers will feel Ron Ron's fury by years end.
Kobe is too good. . even when he's playing horribly he finds a way to keep his team in the game by drawing fouls.
So are we cheering for the Mavs because Artest left for his best opportunity to win a ring or are we cheering for the Lakers because the Mavs ousted from the playoffs a few years ago? Can we make up our mind, or are we cheering against both? Or we can just stop being bitter.
I just came back, but from the the box score, it looks like Kobe Bryant and my theory of him declining looks to be true so far.
Mavs up 16 with 6:40 left in the game. Should be noted that Gasol is out due to a hamstring injury. Pretty significant loss that changed the entire complexion of the game.
I don't cheer for either one...dislike the Mavs and Artest helped us get to the 2nd rd but he wears the enemies jersey so he is the enemy now.
Artest looks like an awful fit on the Lakers. If anything, he is killing their chemistry and seems to have disrupted the flow of their game. Of course, it's still early in the season, so a lot can change, but its a rough go for Ron so far.
I think losing Ariza will hurt the Lakers Greatly....Artest just doesn't provide the length & athleticism that their missing
Lakers look like the team that got knocked out in the 1st round of the playoffs before Gasol's arrival...
