This is for the game. It's the second half of our back to back against the two best teams in Texas. We beat the Spurs last night, so how will we perform tonight? Honestly, I don't think we're going to win this game unless we can keep it close through the 3rd. If we can do that, we should be able to steal the win in the 4th. I'll be giving my commentary.
The Lakers are 10 pt dogs tonight. My reasons for that are: 1. Back-to-back game 2. On the road 3. Dallas wants revenge for the Loss at Staple's which ruined their Winning Streak. Here's the deal. We either win or get blown out, staight up. I can definitely see the Lakers team collapsing tonight and it being an UGLY game, or we keep it close the whole way and pull out the victory, there's no in between. Look for my boy Sasha to have a big night GO LAKERS!
I think the game will be close for the first two quarters, but the third quarter will be crucial to dicating who will come out with the victory. I think the Lakers are a great team, but I honestly don't see them beating one of the best teams in league, if not the best, after just beating the Spurs last night. Either way though, I'm not counting the Lakers out. They've shown time and time again this season that they can beat any team, at any given moment
The Lakers control the tip. Smush Parker hits the runner. Josh Howard misses long. Bynum called for the traveling. The Mavs are 18-3 at home, the best record at home. Dirk hits the two. Smush misses the DEEP three. Stupid shot. Foul on Cook.
Walton blocks George's three. Laker ball. Cook nails the wide open two. Dirk nails the two. Crap, he's off to a hot start. Smush misses the step back. He's playing selfish ball right now. George misses the three, Howard grabs two offensive rebounds. Avery Johnson calls a timeout. Devean George is getting chewed out by Johnson right now.
Bynum with the two. Josh Howard has three offensive boards, already. Walton banks it on the fade. 8-8. Terry misses the wide open three. Smush, how the hell did you let him get so wide open. Bynum with the and 1! Bryant on the assist.
When we drafted Bynum, he could only bench 135, LOL. At the line, Bynum nails the FT, he's got 5. Dirk nails the two in Cook's face. He's 3-3. Bynum goes hard to the hole, but misses. Kobe dishes to Cook, for the layup. Kobe's got two assists. Dirk has this one rim in and out.
Parker with a nice pass, Diop blocks Luke. Cook gets fouled on the layup by Diop. Stackhouse checks in, Cook hits one of the free throws. 14-10 LA. Josh Howard hits the nice jumper on the baseline. Kobe with the beautiful pass along the baseline to Smush for three!
Offensive foul on Josh Howard. Time out, 17-12 Lakers. Kobe Bryant is averaging near 7 assists in the month of January. If we can win this one, that'd give us three huge wins this week. That should easily vault us into the top 3 in power rankings. I'm going to eat, I'll continue when I get back.
Ok fellas, I'm back. Right when I'm back, the Lakers take a time out. We're down by 5. BTW, Farmar is 4/4 for 10 points and an assist.

Lakers down by 9, the Mavs have 14 offensive boards. We need Kwame. Cook gets the dunk, assist for Kobe. Terry misses the shot. Kobe sets Cook up, but he loses it. Vujacic steals it throws down court to Cook, but Howard deflects the ball out of bounds. Cook is playing somewhat lazy right now. Dirk and Terry sit down, Cook comes out, Bynum is back in. Kobe nails the baseline J.

Vujacic misses the jumper. Howard nets the J right in Walton's face. Howard has 16 and 7 already, god damn we need Odom. Kobe with the and 1, but Bynum messed up somewhere. Kobe got in his face. That was kind of scary. Kobe has 7 and 5. The Lakers down by 6. Stack misses the jumper, Bynum rips the board down. Walton misses the wide open three. He's been terrible from three the last couple of weeks compared to how he started. Josh Howard scores again.
Ball is deflected off the Mavericks out of bounds, Dirk checks in. Kobe misses the off balance jumper. Vujacic is whistled for holding, Mo Evans checks in the the "white mamba". Anthony Johnson hits the beautiful J as the shot clock expires. Kobe whistled for the charge. Lakers down by 10 and losing all momentum.
