Our next big game after Houston. I know alot of us don't respect Dallas and their game, because quite frankly they aren't that good. However, in the past, our Lakers have been known to play down to other team's levels and that is something we can't allow to happen. Dallas' halfcourt game is pretty much crap, so we gotta limit their fastbreaking. This is also our first game of an away back to back against both Dallas and New Orleans, both tough games. We also got a home game against Detroit on Friday, and they aren't someone we can just brush over either. I hope we can run up the score against Dallas' piss-poor defense then be able to rest out starters some minutes. I'd also venture to say that if we run up the score, I want Mihm and Walton in there so that ALL of our bigs can get rest and so can Trevor who expends alot of energy when he is out there playing. New Orleans is gonna be tough, and I want us to have energy to play against them. Discuss.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks I expect a Lakers win. Pretty simple. They don't have anyone that can contain our frontcourt and no one on that team can guard Kobe. As long as our defense can continue to show up and keep these guys in the halfcourt, I see no reason why we can't walk away with another blowout win.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Can't wait. I'm not too worried because Kobe always dominates the Mavs when we need him. Should be a win.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Keep an eye on Gerald Green tonight. He's starting to emerge as a player and had some dynamic plays in the Clipper game. He did a nice job cleaning up the rebounds in that game as well. I don't think Dallas has the depth and team speed to keep up with us tonight.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Josh Howard is not playing tonight....this game just went from potentially interesting to nothing at all.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Vlad with a turnaround fadeaway with Kidd on him. Bynum blocked Terry's layup. Scramble for the ball...Gerald Green gets fouled by Vlad. Both free throws made. Fish shot the ball with a man on him. JKidd made a jumper OVER Andrew...random. Fish miss. Gasol off. board. Miss. Bynum putback! Moving screen on Dirk. Dirk has yet to touch the ball btw.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Gasol with a HIGH arcing shot over Dirk. Gasol with a fastbreak dunk after Dallas and the Lakers kept exchanging steals...lol funny shit. Pau turnover. Bad pass. Kobe got called for the foul. Dirk with free throws, made both. Dallas on a huge run...no fouls being called against Dallas' bigs...bullshit. Illegal D by Andrew. FT made by Dirk. Finally a loose ball foul called. Everytime our bigs go up for an off. board, a Dallas guard will grab out arms and not get called for it. Called a block on Fish, Green should've gotten called for the offensive foul, Fish was there. Timeout Lakers. 18-10 Dallas.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Lamar is in for Andrew. Kobe with a jumper. His 2nd Attempt. Kobe with the And 1 off the Fish steal. Trevor poked it away for the steal. Pau with the dunk. Trevor with the reverse. Kobe with a crazy alley oop. Pau made 1 of 2 free throws. Quarter ends with Trevor stealing it from JKidd for the dunk. End of 1st Quarter. Dallas up 35-26.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks Horrible first quarter play, very sloppy, turning it over and we are giving up way too many threes. Someone help GO get a link to the game. And I'm off the computer. I'll post later when I can.
Re: GT: 11/10/2008 @ Dallas Mavericks TREVOR ARIZA!!! Huge dunk after a Lamar And 1! We're up by 2!!!! I hope you guys see Trevor's highlights....my lord the boy has really helped us out.
