Mavs Vs. Lakers

[Rand10]

Kobe with 21 free throw attempts

atta boy Devin!!!

Nice win! It was closer than it should've been, but I love what we did down the stretch with the Harris/Dirk 2 man game instead of Terry/Dirk. Harris keeps us aggresive where as Terry settles for those pull up jumpers.

But Terry did pull that dagger in the end.

I have not seen so many ticky tack supers star calls (& non calls on the defenbsive end) since Wade in the '06 finals.

But Terry did pull that dagger in the end.

Yep, on the kickout from Harris. Not a contested 3 pointer off the dribble like usual.

37% feel Harris has been our MVP thus far.
33% feel JHo has been our MVP thus far
30% feel Dirk has been our MVP thus far

I thought I was the biggest Devin homer, but I actually voted Dirk because of his improved passing and defense.

Dirk, Harris, Howard....in that order, (if they would let us prioritize them) is what I would vote.

Man I was about to post this. Kind of surprising to see Devin get the majority, but then again his stats don't tell the whole story.

^the fans just vote according to who hit the most current basket...

My thoughts: Played badly in the 4th to let them back in, 4th quarter breakdowns are becoming common.

-Devin obviously was the star. Did great in the 4th.
-Josh did good tonight, he was good defensively and attacked the basket more than I have seen so far this season
-Dirk had an efficient stat line but could have been more aggressive as usual

-HASSELL did great! tough shots, great D...Avery needs to play him more!!
-Yay for Barea too and Bass hit some nice shots
-Terry was cold but hit a dagger

Devin is definitely becoming an end of the game go to guy. HE is rising to the top toward the end of games.

Kobe is so smooth out there. He is fast, long can hang forever, and goes to his spot and makes his move. I just hate him

Interesting Twishy from the game.

Mbenga played more minutes, scored more points, and had more rebounds than Diop.

[Zoli]

I think the Mavs should come out on top... If Brandon Bass doesnt play

And about the game. It was great to see Devin continuously attack the rim. Oh and Josh too, almost every time when they attack the rim they get the call or able to finish with a basket. They have to keep that up, and we'll be a much better playoff team. What about Barea? I was kind of mad because Avery didn't put him on the floor in the fourth quarter when we struggled on the offensive end. He is so skilled, fast, and talented, and i think other teams noticed that months ago. Bass was great too, his jumpshot was smooth as always, and he was great on the defensive end. Good game for Hassel as well, and our starters played well too, Josh, Devin and Dirk, all of them played smartly, and they attacked the basket, even Dirk. Terry was ok, from the three point line at least. Good game overall. I hope we can beat the Nuggets on sunday. Go for the 3rd straight win!

one thing that pissed me off watching it was the officiating was terrible, i hated the 1st half b/c there was 43 freaking ft's between the teams and about 40 fouls, there was no rhythm b/c they were stopping every 30 seconds.

the 2nd half was different and they let them play a little more and thats when trenton hassell did a great job on kobe b/c he was allowed to actually defend him and be physical.

i think the best officiated game i saw this season was the game vs. detroit, it was a national game which are usually longer and it was probably less than 2 and a half hours and there werent many fouls called.

i'll talk about the game later but now i have to go back to class

[Rand10]

Dirk needs to give up that running hook shot. Those accounted for about 3 of his 8 misses.

props to DJ MOOSE BENGA

Hassell is a Kobe-stopper

[jwa1107]

Kobe is a ball grabber
