    Nice. 17-4 Mavs run! They're pissed.

    Dallas just does not miss open shots. They are fun to watch when I'm not rooting against them.

    I still haven't watched basketball since Thursday. I don't know how you guys can stomach this after such disappointment last week.

    We were hit in the paint a lot, they don't have a shot blocker so we got lots and lots of body almost everytime we scored in the paint. We let them score in the paint relatively easy a lot, almost all of there FT's were touch fouls on shot attempts.

    Blake getting abused on "defense" by Terry one time down the court and then by Barea next time down. You know it's bad when you're getting physically dominated by J.J. Barea.

    Most amazing stat of the night: Dallas has only shot 7 FTs in this game, but still has a chance to win with 20 secs left.

    What a game. Dirk is so clutch, and now let's see what Kobe can do.

    It's not like Terry didn't abuse Miller...

    Yep, the Lakers had to foul after the turnover. But Kidd left the door open with that miss.

    I just looked at the fouls, they really let them play just like they should in the playoffs. Is it just me or does it seem like they let you play more and more the farther you get in the playoffs tell the Finals.

    Nah, Stern has a match-up he likes, so Game 1 didn't matter. I expect a Laker parade to the foul line in Game 2. If not, I'll be shocked.

    Miller had nothing to do with Terry in that series.

    Tell me about it...

    Miller had nothing to do with anything related to defense in that series.
