5th inning against the Tigers
Have a good game, I'll have to watch this one on tape delay
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
This Knicks/Bobcats game has been entertaining
2OT so far…if Augustin makes the FTs, it should be over.
Anyone remember the last time the Mavs debuted alternate jerseys against the Lakers?
It wasn’t pretty.
yeah.
pretty sure we got blown out. that was the year they had karl malone and gary payton, and we had the antoines

Specifically, how do the Lakers bench players compare to the Mavs, Spurs, Nuggs, Blazers, etc.
And is this Laker team — minus one key piece, obviously — good enough to go anywhere this year.

Watching the Mavs play the Lakers last season
was so frustrating…the Mavs could’ve won all three of those, just couldn’t execute late in the game.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
at the same time though...
i never really felt like we would win them. no matter how well we played, I always felt like we were just waiting to fade in the last two minutes. difference between the last couple years and 2006/2007, i guess.
by MeanMr.Mustard on Oct 30, 2009 9:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Sorta same feeling here.
But they were so winnable. They just took bad shots, or had shots roll out when they needed them to drop in the fourth.

I'll go watch the end of the Stars game, then come back and see this one...
hopefully.

Lakers have a creampuff start to their schedule. It's petty amazing how weak it is. This is one of only 2 games through the end of November that looks like a contest...

I was always a Shaq guy rather than a Kobe guy, but I'm starting to warm up to Kobe's personality a little...
He was sort of an arrogant dick early on, but the older he gets, the more he seems like a highly professional, highly intense mofo.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Yeah I get that
and yet I can’t help but loathe the guy, maybe I’m just a hater but I’m not the only one.
yeah
Kobe gets a bad rap, imo. I mean, Jordan was an arrogant prick, but no one really cared because he was Michael Jordan.

Not really
Doesn’t have to be classics either, could be modern. Film, book, music, any medium.
But I’ve got one clear-cut one (Of Mice and Men), another possible one (Australian) but need a couple others.

Hmm.
Dallas played a much-improved defensive game, really got to the Lakers physically. I think they forced LA to take bad shots all night.
On offense, generally, the shot selection was great, they got good looks all over the court. Tonight, they looked like scoring everytime they went down court, and they STILL missed a good chunk of layups and ended up shooting 42%.
The Lakers kinda shot themselves in the foot. They missed Gasol a lot as an inside finisher, Bynum did all right but wasn’t that consistent. They turned the ball over, they were impatient, Kobe seemed kind of invisible and was missing shots the entire time. Early days, but people may be a little right about Artest. He was pretty bad out there and ill-disciplined to boot.
And the refs? Well, your opinion. I don’t know what was going with them. I’ve never seen the Mavs ever get calls like they did tonight. Not in getting fouls called while driving to the basket, but it seemed every 50-50 job went their way.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Congratulations to the Mavs
Hell of a lot better than losing by 20 on the road I know that.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
woot woot
Mavs actually won a game with their defense. So that’s how the elite teams feel like when their shots aren’t falling down..
Man I’m loving Marion right now. I’m getting a jersey t-shirt.
