The Fakers are going down in flames.

Dallas should win this year if the games are called fair.

but why hasn't stern intervened on the lakers behalf yet?

i thought the nba was fixed?

 

[northeast]

What do you think?

 

[NotDeadYet]

Our biggest fear; the Stern factor...

 

[northeast]

Way to go Wade, you cheating flopping superstar who gets away with anything, way to take down Rondo and break his arm.

 

[northeast]

why the f did Boston trade Perkins, and their backup PG? and
Why don't they take it to the basket, against a team without a center?

 

[northeast]

Wade should be suspended a few games. I know it won't happen, but he intentional threw Rondo to the floor, after Rondo was already off balance wrapped up, and falling.

...beats me with a bullwhip! Maybe he told them to hold off so they could come back from 0-3 and win in a game 7 back in L.A...which would be the most watched NBA game in history?

Is Dick Bavetta going to be officiating game 3?

A Dallas team with Dirk at the helm is still the "same team" IMO as the one that has blown in the postseason. Dirk has yet to show that he can lead and win in the playoffs.

The dude never had enough help. Dork is one of the most consistent and clutch players in the league throughout his career. It's kind of bizzaro what Dallas is doing this season, considering the Lakers are better than any of the other teams that they lost to in those 'choke' situations.

Very good point Sloanfled. The only difference between the teams that choked to the likes of the GS Warriors and so forth is Chandler. Maybe with a guy in the middle that cares about protecting the Rim the Mavs player finally bought into the fact that Defense is needed. Not just trying to outscore the other team.

Three point shooting is also a huge problem for the Lakers on both sides of the ball. If the Lakers had Predrag instead of Dallas, they might be up 2-1 instead of down 3-0. I am shocked and impressed at this bizzaro Mavs team.

Holy crap the Mavs up 22 in the 2nd. Bye bye Kobe.
