When MR. Bryant claimed that Lakers are going to win the series even though they are currently down by 3-0, that made me fear that this 3-0 lead can be wasted in any second. Let's face it, those Mavs players are always bunch of chokers who just totally got lucky in the first 3 games. I think Kobe is right, they will show to the league that they can make a historic comeback by winning today's game, and then the next 3.

To me, no way in the hell that Mavs can win the 4th consecutive game against the defending champ.
MAVS ALREADY LOST today. And KOBE WILL DROP 50 on us.

GO MAVS, you are still chokers until you prove all Mavs fans wrong!

Waiting for the only tough Mavs dude Van EXEL to show up and give us the final confidence boost!

Mavs have to win this one... Bryant just spit in their faces with his comments, so we have to show up and play hard.. Hopefully Ron Artest feels the need to try and shoot himself out of his slump now that hes back. Mavs crowd is gonna be intense. TAKE DAT WIT CHEW!

It's been an unbelievable series so far and all we have to do now is win this final game in front of our home crowd. I think Marion will step up and have an efficient game offensively (15-25 points). He's bound to have a good game.
LET"S GO MAVS!

Germanfan120, are you gonna continue doing this anti-jinx stuff throughout the playoffs? It's getting kinda old.

[Fojin]

This will be a huge game, but I'm way more confident right now than I was before each of the first three games. Even if the Mavs lose tonight, they likely won't falter and win this series in 5 or 6.
I'm still looking for the sweep today, though. Much better for my nerves.

[ASIMO]

LALs staring(closing) 5 plays not badly but Mavs win because of LALs poor 2nd unit.
Mavs bench players committed only 6TO in this series. Its huge for Mavs. I think this is the key. Although JJ was TO prone this season against LAL, LAL is giving freedom to Barea with Brown. They can hardly get TO with poor pressure on D. Surely it affects to their Offence.

And there is no size issue in JET for Blake. How great for Mavs. I hope LAL keep it tonight.

Not really, I just wanted to let everyone know that Mavs play the best when they are humble and focused. The series is far from over, you can never underestimate the Lakers until you beat them.

And I only do this for Mavs against the Lakers. Coz I am one of the biggest Lakers/Kobe hater.

Lol just found this (it's in German but I think pics speak louder than words). Thats in '97 when Dirk was still playing in the 2nd German league and wearing a wicked pirate earring, Charles Barkley got dunked on by Dirk in an exhibition game and wanted to get him into Auburn College and then they do a comparison with a 19 year old guy named Kobe Bryant who made the jump to the NBA as the youngest player of all times.

It's so amazing how much has changed since then.

Didn't want to open an extra thread for this. If a mod thinks its thread worthy please re-locate it.

And this is why Wood should play more.

Idk if you have been watching this series (probably only watching Dirk and Wood) but we are up 3-0 in case you didnt know.

I think the Lakers are gonna come out stong, they don't want Phil Jackson to go out like this (not that anyone will remember this in the grand scheme of Phil's career). I believe they will some pride and fight hard. But if they get down early, they might collapse

[peppersquared]

"F' em, they're a good team, but F' em, F' em, don't get me wrong, they're a good team, but were a good team Too. I think sooner or later you just gotta say F' EM, F' em, we can play with them, F' Em.

[dirkules_41]

Just in time, pep!

How can Marion blow that layup?

[HMFFL]

Great turn around by Dirk to make Gasol look silly.

Marion with the easy bucket, ugly, but it counts.
