What a game tonight. The Lakers played as a TEAM. Kobe delivered with 14 points in the 4th quarter. Turiaf came up big off the bench with 13 points in the first half alone, and Sasha...wow...he really impressed me tonight. He had 16 points and was 4 for 5 from the field. He hit some big threes and you gotta love the way he played. Smush came up with a huge block on Jason Terry. Mavs' fans are going to say that it was a foul but it wasn't...he got all ball and hand. Hand is part of the ball. He didn't hit his wrist. I am just so excited about this game, this was Phil Jackson's 900th win as a coach. The Lakers move up in the standings and they break the Mav's win streak.
Yesss this was a great game the Sasha show! :rock: :rock:when he hit that 3 to put them up to I went crazy.

When Sasha was shooting the 3 I just crossed my fingers and it went in, then jumped up and banged my head on my fan, lol.
Sasha is still a srcub and he will not get any props from me.But great team win. And that block by smush looked suspicious.

Any way, Nice game all around. Lakers wouldn't die, and for sure earned this win.

Also, no props to Sasha....at least credit him with the game winning three and his nice shooting. He played nice pressure defense which he is known for as well.EDIT: Devean George missed the Mav's game tieing shot..

That's enough time, IMO, for a guy Named Kobe to drain a game winner. :winkglasses: Haha, even if they went into OT. L.A would of still fought them and IMO would of won.

Did anyone notice how easy it was for Kobe to get to the rim those two plays down the stretch? He missed one of two free throws so he looked pissed and just ran right into the lane for the and one, then he did it again and got two free throws. I don't know why he doesn't do that more often late in games. I mean, the defense was bad but he can still get to the cup with such ease.
That one freethrow that Kobe missed was almost an airball but meh I was shaking after Luke missed the first freethrow because either way Dallas would've still had the chance to take back the lead or tie I mean they did it against Phoenix when Dirk hit that jumper when they were tied but gave them the win. I say this is the best game the Lakers have played this season.

Last year game 6 Tim Thomas hits the 3, knew we were gonna play a game 7, If George hits that, boy oh boy the Mavs are gonna take it and run with it in OT.
I just came back from my streaking!!!This is the kind of game I want the Lakers to have as a standard for them. Team ball. Kobe doesn't need to score ridiculous amounts, and this win is important because we weren't even nearly at full strength. Every player did their all and it was apparent in the game. The thing about the Lakers is that they have the potential to beat any team in the league like it was easy. BUT they can lose to some awful teams [still can't get over Portland...].But great game, very exciting to watch Sasha step up for the clutch 3.
I told you all...But did you all listen...Worst player in the league ???HAHAHAHAI'm crying with happiness!!!
