Mavs vs Lakers series thread

Looks like Bynum has laid down a chop to the ribs before without playing the ball. This hit doesn't look nearly as violent as what he did to Barea, but the results are what they are.

Congrats to Mavs/Mav Fans for beating the Laker show!

Kobe did seem to be the one respectful player on the Lakers. He wasn't involved in any of the cheap shots, and was always quick to congratulate and shake hands with the Mavs players/coaches/Mark Cuban.

dont understand while people always bash on him...

Finally, Kobe and Odom gave us our due.

"We played through distractions before," Bryant said. "You've got to put the credit in the right place, which is in the Mavs locker room. They played extremely well. They executed extremely well. Their spacing was excellent. Their depth hurt us. Every night it was a different player stepping up and performing and making plays. The credit belonged to them."


"It's like when you're 13 or 14 years old and you have a little fist fight or whatever," Odom said. "You get hit in the mouth too hard and you realize, 'I got beat, man.' Of course, you want to play better. You know that ... but they beat our ass.

I have always respected Kobe. He isn't a little Bit** like Bynum.

Terry had a tremendous game of course........but how about hit me on my Peja? Dude went 7 for 7 yesterday with 6 of them being threes.........he was killing them too......very quietly a pretty good acquisition......

Mavs are also playing the best D of the playoffs..........pretty sure that's never been said of this franchise........

Peja has also been serviceable on defense. I figured he'd be a rag doll, but he's challenged whoever he's had to guard...and done it well.

Did anyone hear the story about Kobe's wife spliting up Pau and his fiance? Apparently one of the morning guys on 105.3 asked Kobe about the story in the post game interviews and Kobe didn't have a clue what he was talking about, but the guy showed him the story online and Kobe just said the women don't know each other.
I think the Ticket even talked about it this morning.

I heard about that a couple of days ago. Supposedly Pau's fiancee left him just before the playoffs began. I haven't heard much else though.

So now the 38 year old point guard gets a week off to get rested up for the next series. I think that's going to be huge......

Is there a sound clip of 1920's reporter guy yet?

Yes, it's on YouTube. Just search 1920's reporter guy.

Well the Lakers also feel like that, Ive heard a few rumors on the radio that the Lakers might deal Bynum to Orlando for Howard. Howard is a free agent at the end of next year and I wouldnt be suprised if Orlando delt him to get something back.

I heard bout that to but I just don't think the lakers will be the same for a few years. I really don't see Kobe getting another ring. There are to many power house teams that are younger, quicker, healthier, and hungry for a title. I think it will be awhile before the lakers are any good

I was trying to find it to send to a coworker... I love the one where he gets Phil Mickleson

J.R. Smith from the Nuggets was fined $25k for a cheap flagrant 2 foul back in February and I didn't think that one was as bad as either of tonights Flagrant 2's. I didn't think about the suspension without pay but thats just an added bonus.... And WTF??? $15mil for that guy??? Isn't this one of the first times he hasn't been injured in the playoffs??
