This should be an exciting QTR... probably gonna be the best of the whole game. Because I KNOW the MAvs didn't forget what happened and they will do everythin they can to stop this...
Yep, guess not, this one is over . Now I realize how great a player Payton is, our offense wasn't flowing like it does with GP in the lineup, and weren't getting much transition baskets, but hey no excuses, on the other hand, Lakers played solid defense, but I give credit to the Mavs for shooting well. LA was playing more in sperts like the announcer said, didn't overall play a good game. You know Mavs are supposed to win when Josh Howard out plays Kobe Bryant. . And no, I don't want to hear people come in and act like the Lakers run is over, because I have seen that before, just because they lossed one game at home. Shaq obviously didn't get enough touches, going 6-6, and fouled a bunch of times, but this is a type a game where he could have easily dropped 40, and since Kobe wasn't shooting well, Lakers should have noticed this and just fed Shaq the ball. And is it me, or was did anyone else not notice Devean George on the court a whole lot. Rush and Russell shot well in limited time, played bad today, and the Mavs played good, simply the reason why the Lakers lost, the streak had to end sometime.
Shaq: "I come through at the line when my teams needs them" You might want to go back and take that quote back Shaq! If he made all of those down that stretch, it could be 102-97. 5 point game with about 2 minutes left, seems like a good position to be in if you ask me, not that I expect him to make all of them, but don't ever make a statement like that if it's not true. :mrgreen: Oh well, another tough game tommorow against Portland on the road, hopefully we can rebound from this and get that win tommorow.
Well I was proved wrong too... I Really thought Kobe would have came through at the end or near the end to help the Lakers but he couldn't do it. Yes shaq should have made those free throws at the end... but you can't really depends on him for free throws. They just gotta put this game behind them and come into Portland tomorrow as a refreshed team
Dallas get the win 110-93 http://www.nba.com/games/20031212/DALLAL/boxscore.html I expected a much closer game than this even after Payton got ejected.Not enough shots down low for Shaq.Dallas break their LONG losing streak in L.A.Josh Howard my steal of the draft pick..16 points 11 rebounds :thumbsup:

Mavs finally win in 13 years whoo hoo!! PS To the funny person who said "The day Mavs beat the Lakers at home is the day dogs fly.." Good News.. The dogs are flying in DALLAS tonight!!!!!
Payton was just asking to get ejected from this game. What does he expect after flinging the ball after just receiving a technical? Like Walker said, "They lost Payton, we didn't have Finely, it evened out."

that game was horribly called...but the mavs played amazing...i swear i am going to teach shaq how to shoot free throws...HE SUCKS...kobe had a horrendous night, i think he was too passive in the fourth
Great win for the Mavs, its about time they win at Staples. I was expecting the Lakers to win by a blowout. The entire Mavs team chipped in for this victory. Dirk and Walker both got 27 points.
2 Ts in the first, over what?! Great to see the Lakers finally lose one at home... to bad it was to the Mavs.
