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

lebron and wade are doing it more efficiently offensively, control more of the offense, and are dominating defensively in their matchups. dirk only scores.

and durant also has been a better offensive player through both rounds.

 

Typical nut hugger oh well ignore list time

 

are you serious ref? the mavericks are now making chandler flop. *******. like JVG said, you need to get fined for every flop that you do. it makes NBA players look like soccer players.

EDIT: wow the game completely changed towards the mavs' favor as soon as bynum exits.

 

Gasol may have to relocate after this series.

Gasol cant seriously look at the ref after every bump.

 

Gasol looks like a scrub out there.

 

Joe Smith sighting?!

 

why is kobe not penetrating one single bit? he has to put these big men in foul trouble. outside of bynum, he's the only guy. gasol isn't going to do it.

 

why did brown go for that steal against dirk?

 

Looks like a close game, but the Lakers have got to be a little wary, since Kobe, Bynum, and now Gasol, have two fouls before the half.

Barea is doing an excellent job penetrating and drawing fouls. He needs to keep the pressure up on the big men of LA.

 

This. Barea gets fouled almost everytime he drives in if he doesn't have an open layup.

 

are you kidding??? flop makes NBA players look like soccer players ??? Some soccer players do flop, but NBA players flop way more than soccer players, NOT even close.

 

Refs to the rescue

 

fisher's face everytime after he fouls is priceless

 

i've seen my share of soccer games. flopping may not be as frequent in soccer b/c there is more physical contact in the NBA so there are more chances for flops. but trust me, i've seen MANY soccer players who simply fake cries/screams and then stands up like nothing happened. and these stem from simply a slight push/contact. they act like they just got shot in the L.

and this clip doesn't even show the worst ones that i have seen. and these are worse than any NBA flop i have ever seen.

 

When you think about it, Bynum has seemingly been the best player these playoffs for the Lakers. Geez.

 

yep. which is why he had every right to call out his teammates. he sure as hell is playing like it.

 

^ the ending is similar to the first half of game 1. let's see how the mavs respond to open the 3rd. both teams are playing extremely well.

 

Talking about butterfly effect, ever since that totally wrong decision by the refs to give the ball to Lakers after Blake last touched, it's been a 12-point swing

 

Dirk looked kinda weak to end the half.
