The Lakers are DONE!!

Odom's foul wasn't "horrible" compared to Bynum's but by definition, it was a Flagrant 2. NBA rules state that a Flagrant 2 is "unnecessary and excessive contact. This usually has a swinging motion, hard contact, and a follow through." That fits what Odom did regardless of whether it was as bad as Bynum's.
 
f the lakers. I bet the clippers will take over once the kobe era is over and the lakers will regress to the state of the clippers right now. I'm glad they got embarrassed like they did. :D made my DAY.
 
Thought Odom's foul should've been a flagarant but didn't think a flagarant 2 was necessary. Bynum's foul clearly a cheapshot and he should be suspended at the outset of the next nba season, whenever that may be.

The Lakers made their jump from "playoff team" to "3-straight NBA Finals" because of the Gasol trade - and Pau was unable to maintain the level of play he had in previous seasons when he was a top-15 player in the league. Looks like age, all the extra playoff minutes as well as the 2008 Olympics finally caught up to them.

LA's game 1 & 3 losses to the Mavs weren't all that different from their Game 1 & 3 victories over Utah in last year's conference semifinals - against Utah they closed 4th quarters and this year they just couldn't finish.
 
It's sort of sad nobody on the Mavs went and slugged Bynum, although since they are still playing I can see why.
 
What's interesting to me is that the exact way GS beat down a slow and old mavs team a few years ago was the exact same way this quick Mavs team beat down the slow and old defending champs.

It's amazing what can happen with a quick guy running around with 3 point shooters all over the place and a center who covers a ton of area.

Got the quick guy in Harris. Definitely need shooters. Sign Chandler or DeAndre Jordan and/or draft Biyombo

You mean a team like the Orlando Magic? Dirk just can't get the credits he deserves. He toyed with Pau Gasol just like Gasol toyed with everyone the past 2 years.
 
I hate JJ and his league leading little man's disease. However, that cheep shot was bull and I hope they throw the book at him.

There's a huge difference between shooters and chuckers.

Hedo, Arenas, and Jameer are high volume chuckers who take a lot of shots and miss a lot.

Peja, Dirk, and Terry are high percentage shooters who are "making guards."

Orlando has plenty of "shooting guards." What Dallas has, and what we need, is making guards.

We don't need any more CJ miles. Which, essentially, is what Orlando is. Dwight Howard and a bunch of CJs.

As far as Dirk getting the credit he deserves... Ummm... Dallas's bench scored something like 79 points today. I think you gotta hand it to them. Peja, isn't dead yet. Dude may have a bad back but he can still shoot the hell out of the basket. Jason Terry has been a fantastic offensive player for most of his career. Pretty sure that's why we signed him to be our starting PG/SG a few years back. And JJ Barea is really good.
