Built Ford Tough Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Even though I'm fully expecting a short and fairly non-competitive series, this is really the only series that I am interested in at this point in time.  Dirk is going to have to have his way with Gasol if the Mavs are going to have any shot at all in this series, and even then, they will be unlikely to come away with a win unless he gets some consistent help from his supporting cast. When that cast consists of guys like Terry, Kidd, Barea and Terry, the only consistent thing about them is that they will be inconsistent. Kobe off to a nice start with 7 points already and Dirk has really taken advantage of Gasol's reluctance to defend on the perimeter.

kingfish Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone else get this weird feeling watching us play the Mavs in a playoff series? Weve never played them with this much importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Lakers are getting open looks to start. This is a good sign for the Lakers against a good defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) I think Dirk and Gasol called each other up last night and agreed they will let each other go for 50. Edited May 3, 2011 by ChosenOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone else get this weird feeling watching us play the Mavs in a playoff series? Weve never played them with this much importance. When have the Lakers ever played the Mavs in the postseason? I almost expected the Jazz to take the court instead of the Mavs. It doesn't seem like a playoffs without the Lakers eliminating the Jazz.

Built Ford Tough Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Nice help defense from Marion to strip Kobe of the ball. It was particularly impressive simply because of how easily he blew by Stevenson which gave Marion very little time to react and get over there in time, let alone manage to strip Kobe of the ball as well. Too bad Stojakovic fumbled the pass on the 3-1 that proceeded the play. In hindsight, Kidd probably wishes that he passed the ball to Marion who is much better in transition than Peja is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Dallas is lighting it up from three. Whichever bench comes to play this series will win IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Kobe went for a no-look pass there. That's why no-look passes are dangerous. If a defender sneaks into the pass you can't see it because you aren't looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 That may be the slowest show-and-recover I've seen this postseason. You can take advantage of the Mavs by putting Dirk in screens like that because he's not fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver P Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) I'm really excited by this series. The first time that those two teams play each other in the playoffs since 1988. If this series is as good as the 1988 WCF, it will be amazing for sure. At the time the young Mavericks surprised everyone by almost beating the mighty Lakers, forcing them to play seven games to beat them. Great players like Aguirre, Blackman, Perkins, Tarpley (who could have been one of the very best PF ever...) or Derek Harper (my favorite PG ever) were in that Dallas team. One of the best series of the history of the game. And I do believe that this series can be as good indeed. I might be the only one but I really think that the Mavs stand a very good chance to win in this series. I've been hearing many times that the Mavs couldn't win because of Dirk's help. Because Dirk needed another superstar as a sidekick. Someone like Caron Butler... Well I disagree with that. First of all the Mavs do not need Caron Butler to win. Butler has never felt comfortable in that team. If anything the Mavs are even better now without him. Well the Mavs are definitely better now than what they were a year ago anyhow, that's for sure. Second of all you definitely can win with one superstar only. If it's better to have another superstar in your team, it is not essential to win at the same time. If you have a well balanced team you can win with one superstar only. It was the case for the 94 Rockets. Or the 89-90 Pistons for instance. And even better the 04 Pistons actually won without any superstar whatsoever. And the least we can say is that this Mavs team is definitely well balanced. They're good inside and outside. They've been good outside the whole decade, the real difference this year is they have for the first time good players inside. Thanks of course to Tyson Chandler. Even better his back up, Haywood, is actually better than the Bradleys, LaFrentz, Dampiers or other Wang Zhizhis... And players like Terry, Stojakovic, Barea or Kidd can get on fire any time anyhow. And they sure don't all have to be on fire at the same time for the Mavs to win.... Speaking about Kidd, well he's not getting any younger and it's hard to call him a superstar now, but he definitely still got it. He's better then ever behind the arc, and he's having his best season since quite some time this year. The Mavs are also one this year of the best defensive teams that they have this decade, if not the best defensive team. So if you ask me the Mavs got all what they need to win it all this year. In fact many people laughed at them when they let Portland get back in game 4, in the first round, but they reacted immediately and won the next two games in a row. They've been quite impressive and showed that they were more solid than those past years. Especially when we consider that their opponents, the Blazers, were the hardest team to face in the first round. So among the contenders, the Mavs are the ones who had the toughest match up in the first round. Meanwhile the Lakers have had a lot of trouble against a Hornets team that was clearly not as good. They better play much better than that against Dallas or they will not be in the WCF this year, you can be sure of that. I expect at least 6 games in this series. And I hope for Dallas and Dirk that this year they will finally get a ring. Edited May 3, 2011 by Oliver P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
