Lakers. We play them again tonight. Hopefully we can avenge the earlier loss.
I heard about it, but haven't seen the video. If anyone has a link, can they post it here please?

Yeah the games on TNT so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Tbh this is the first game I'm seeing Kobe live this season because I was in India so far through out the season

Thanks!
Should be a great game. I fear Kobe. He usually owns us. Though last time we played we kept him in check...but still ended up losing.

Great game by the Mavs. Nowitzki and Howard playing great again. I didn't see the game because I fell asleep during the 4th qtr of the Miami game(Jet lag....i hate it.). Talking about the Miami game, anyone see the circus shot from D Wade. How lucky does this guy get?

Mavs dominated the Lakers last night. That game was over early in the 3rd qtr. At one point, the Mavs lead by as many as 28. The Lakers closed the gap during garbage time in the 4th qtr. The greatness of Kobe was kept in check by the Mavs. There was one funny moment where Kobe went for a dunk and missed it. The Mavs then dunked on the other end. The crowd loved it. Kobe did get his dunk two possessions later though. Anyway, great game to watch. The Mavs look by far as the best team in the NBA right now.

Quit blaming refs/umpires and you will be a lot happier as a sports fan. I have stopped doing that in all sports now and it has worked well for me.
it was a blowout....nowitzki and howard starred....they are just too good....Thanks!

They are when they get going. But when they are not hot, Dallas suffers, they dont have players who can bail them out when these two are having off days. Another thing is that both are one dimensional players. Neither of them are known for their defensive skills or passing etc that IMO has been the problem with Dallas.it was a blowout....nowitzki and howard starred....they are just too good....

You do realize we're leading 28-24
.....it's true that dallas is not known for too many assists and rely primarily on nowitzki, howard and terry to get the job done....with support coming from stackhouse, george, dampier etc but the point is that everyone has been coming to play and one dimensional or not(and i don't think he is, he is a fantastic shooter with incredible range for his size and an excellent rebounder plus a great free throw shooter and although no hotshot defender, he has certainly improved his defense under avery johnson), nowitzki has been playing all season at mvp level...

There was a little fight between KG and Antonio McDyess last night. It was ******** from both players. If no one saw it let me know and I will post a youtube link
What a great game the pistons one was. A low scoring, but exciting as hell game. Mike James was out of bounds before hitting that 3, but you have to respect him for that shot...that was amazing. Then Chauncey letting everyone know why he is called Mr. Big Shot by hitting a clutch 3 and sending the game into 2nd OT. Amazing game
Also Utah beat Toronto. That pass by AK-47 to Boozer under Boshs leg was beautiful and funny

I haven't been watching much of NBA this season, but from whatever I have watched in last few years he is a very poor defender and an average rebounder(for his size) and very poor passer. If scoring tons of points is considered playing at MVP level then yes he is, but IMO his game is very one dimensional and when he is not going offensively, he can be replaced by anyother player.
this season, his rebounding numbers(9.5) has improved over his career average, so has his assists(3.2)....he can score in the paint with his height but how many 7-footers have you seen score so consistently from beyond the arc? he is above 40% for the season in 3-pt shooting, as usual nearly 90% in free-throw shooting and most importantly their go-to guy in crunch moments and so a proven clutch player....add in the 25 points per game he has been scoring this season at over 50% shooting and you have an exceptionally efficient player who is pivotal to his teams' chances to win the west and a championship....that's why i said he is playing at mvp level....
