Mavs vs Lakers series thread

[War Machine]

Lakers looked really tired last night

[2cammer97]

It looked sloppy at times, but the Mavs only had 11 turnovers. That's not terrible. We had 8 blocks and 8 steals, so some D was being played. LA only shot 43% for the game.

The nice thing is...that was far from the Mavs best game. I'd only rate them as a B for the game...and only that high because they show grit and toughness and overcame the 16 pt deficit. Of course, that wasn't the Lakers' best game either.

Agree for the most part, but the only that i'd like to add is the bench played extremely well so I might lean closer to B+. If we can get contributions from JJB, Peja, and Brewer I think we are going to be a tough out in this series. Peja and JJB played well in the Portland series. I hope they keep it up. Lakers bench is nonexistent, even more so if they move Odom into starter-like minutes to cover Dirk.

GO MAVS!!! MFFL!!!!

I think Peja has the chance to be huge in this series. If he's hitting shots and scores double figures, that means the rest of the offense should be getting good looks too because they're spacing the floor. I think I saw a stat in the Portland series where if Peja was in double digits for the game, the Mavs were undefeated or had only lost 1 game...something like that.

I wouldn't go that far at all. It's gonna be a tough series any way you look at it. I'm still pumped about the win last night. That was HUGE! Several sports analysts had the Lakers winning in 7 and I bet they assumed the Lakers would win the first game at home. I thought Kidd and Marion were pretty awful last night (how many freaking turnovers did kidd have?!?!?) and the Mavs rebounding sucked early on. The thing I feel most positive about last night is I think that it was a pretty bad offensive performance and they still won! You know the Lakers are going to step it up in Game 2 but the Mavs should be able to play a better offensive game as well.

Can't wait until the next game! I'm also interested to see what happens with OKC and Memphis...

[Nash B.]

Fuckin A! The road team has won a game....we got ourselves a mutherfuckin series.

That's 2 in a row!

cheaper ($100 on buy.com)
better quality (native widescreen, up to 720p)
