Fisher flopping all over the place as usual. Didn't expect the flops from Gasol though. I expected the yelps and screams but not the flops.....

OK, Kobe has 11 already....

Mavs take DIRK out. He's out for 2 and a half minutes and their lead drops from 6 to 2.

DIRK can play more than 38 minutes today Carlisle........

That's fine. He's not getting his teammates involved and is trying to win this game on his own.

I say let Kobe shoot all the more. Dont let the other Lakers get involved. Kobe will get tired having to do all the scoring. Let him jack up all the 3s he wants. Don't let him get in the paint.

And this is why Wood should play more.

i bet Barea gives better result than Kidd.

We need to compare to 1) FG%, 2) Offence and Defence.

This Kobe we are talking about...once scored 81...he will do anything to win this game and can take over.

He's not the same player anymore.

Kobe shooting 75%

Rest of team 18.2%

Looks like Kobe is having a DIRK situation on his hands...

It would be nice if they ever called over the back on the Lakers frontcourt. Whenever DIRK boxes someone out they reach over his head and try and tap the ball.

Secondly, Mavs need to penetrate to the basket. They are living and dying by the 3 at the moment. Not a good strategy.

Good game thus far. Kobe is on fire, but the Mavs are in front. He can score as much as he wants as long as the Mavs win this game.

Terry must take that shot with 2 seconds on the shot clock instead of throwing the ball at BH's ankles.

Up 10, if we can get it to 15 or more, the Lakers may start to fizzle

Agreed.

DIRK's presence on the floor is giving the shooters good looks. Lakers are so worried about DIRK destroying them that they aren't leaving his side. Opening up the paint and freeing up shooters.

Wow, Terry has been amazing this series. Didn't believe I'd ever say that, particularly after game 4 of the Portland series, but he finally seems to have become a true second option. At least for this playoff run, hopefully.

because offensively he matches up with Blake and Fisher.
Its huge for shooter to play against smaller defenders.
