Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

After the Fact: Mavericks Win 98-92, Possess Totally Jinxable Series Lead

Three games played, three games won.

Incredible game.

I don't know how I will be able to write a recap, because I'm not sure there are words to describe what I'm feeling right now.

UGH.

the lakers blew it. but it didn’t help that the lakers got no benefit of the doubt from the lakers whatsoever. calls that dirk was getting, kobe/pau/bynum wasn’t getting, kobe/pau/bynum got 2 PFs in the first quarter, mavs got 2x the FTA and got called for 18 fouls vs LA’s 26. not saying the refs made the lakers lose, but nevertheless, it’s worth ranting about.

Statistics tell me that I'm actually giving the lakers more of a chance then they deserve.

When 80-something teams have had this lead and not blown it, I think “nearly insurmountable” is accurate and nowhere near jinx-y. If I thought it was, trust me, I never would have put it. Gotta fear the jinx.

Outside of Dirk, Peja, and Terry, the rest of our team wasn’t that great. On the other hand, the Lakers got a really good performance from a good amount of their team (Except Gasol) and a terrific one from Bynum, and yet, the Mavs still win! This is awesome

This is shaping up to be a great playoffs

then again any playoffs where the Lakers get eliminated (and possibly swept) is a great playoffs.

stupid bandwagon fans give us a bad name. i don’t like trash-talking on any team. Except Boston. lol But there are too many arrogant, spoiled fans in L.A . Real fans like me have to deal with the scorn of other teams now.

by California Girly Girl on May 7, 2011 12:22 AM CDT up reply actions  

It isn't just the fans

the arrogance stars from the team and the players, I have many arrogant people in my life but Kobe and Phil are definitely in the top 10. The problem with the fans is that the arrogant fans out number the true Laker fans by at least a 4 to 1 number, and seeing such arrogant people cry at the loss of their beloved team is just too sweet.

Mavericks Fans

Spurs fan here. All BS aside, the Mavs have played great so far. Just wanted to say the Mavericks deserve to bring a "chip down here to Texas.
Maybe this is atonement for all the stuff you guys have been through in the Past.

Just wanted to say great job guys. And because it’s LA, the only thing that can make the series sweeter is if the Mavs finish it out with the almight broom.

Your team is playing great Basketball, hope they keep it up. Hell, might even get a Miami rematch ;-)

Thank you very much.

Rivalry set aside, I do hope our team brings the trophy back to Texas once again.

Ahhh it's so nice to see rivals getting along...

the Lakers have done one good thing, their existence and arrogance can join even the most hated of rivals together under the common banner of Laker hatred.

I second this

Mavs and Spurs fans can join together and laugh at Lakers fans tears.

Now if you guys just so happen to meet Memphis in the WCF.

Spurs fans have to go back to being neutral lol

Its bittersweet. We both share a common hate for the Purple and Gold.

Memphis is still kinda meh, they just beat us down, can’t really get mad, plus we used to beat on the Grizlies so much in the past, even you guys got in on the Sweeping in 06

But considering, its still the Mavericks lol. I know some of you guys felt the same way when we played the Suns last year.

Still proud of the Mavericks though, but we cant celebrate just yet. You guys still have unfinished business and you know the Lakers are gonna be mad on Sunday.

DO be warned though, just in case, some Memphis fans make Lakers fans seem sane.
