Bulls are playing some different ball tonight. Rose has had some help and the defense has been there. Hawks shooting is back to where it should be. :)

Man I got a feeling this is going to be a good game between LA/Dallas. I still don't understand why LA is "playing" with the Mavs. I'm just waiting for that momentum shift (like Kobe's dunk against the Hornets) but the Mavs just continue to linger.

Game 1 was the first time the Mavs EVER beat the Lakers in LA in a playoff game. They're now 1-10 in LA in the playoffs.

I have been making some "ownership" jokes - but the facts pan out - the Lakers do OWN the Mavs.

The Lakers and the Mavericks have played 147 total games between the regular season and the playoffs with 109 victories for the Lakers and 38 for the Mavericks.

109-38 !!!

If I didn't know any better, I'd think that Brian and Donald were Celtics fans based on this thread.

This must have given me away:

As a Lakers fan I'll cry no tears for the Celtics.

Seriously, I dislike the Heat because they acted like signing their big 3 meant coronation on the spot, but I hate the Celtics and always want them to lose...and lose badly.

boy... Dallas really had a shot to bury them there in the 3rd. me fears the Lakers steal this one in a hail storm of FTs, but this looks like a freaking seven game classic in the making.

Pau is freaking Kleenex. Can we trade back for Marc?

Yes, yes, grateful to Pau for sure, but he needs to nut the ef up. Mavs are about to practically seal the series right now, and wtf is Phil running Blake and Fish together for?

Enjoy this, Laker haters. It is their last gasp. They can't even make layups.

It looks like you overrated the Lakers heart and Phil's coaching (at this point in his career). He's made no adjustments in this series despite getting clowned. This looks more like that series they played against the Pistons in 2004.

Is this really happening? I don't think even Dallas can choke a 2-0 lead if they win tonight.

OKC vs Bulls!

again... HOLY CRAP.

only thing the Lakers can hope for is that they are playing the biggest choke artists in the league and one of two things happens in the rest of this series... either that holds true or Dallas shocks the world.

but... WOW.

Way to go Artest. Ha ha. That was an idiotic move.
Yes, the second adversity hits and it's not all going perfectly for him, RonRon never fails to show his true colors.

I never would have guessed the Mavs would leave LA 2-0. Loving it, please dont choke Mavs!
