Sat. 11/24 - Lakers @ Mavs - Predictions & Comments

WTF that's a horrible call.

Jamison rebounds the ball extremely well.

When the ball moves and everyone is confident and shooting we are unstoppable, when we stand and watch the Kobe show we are beatable. It's up to all the guys to get open and move without the ball to keep the ball moving and Kobe to make sure that happens as well.

KOB3!

And a dumb call by refs

Idiot ref with a stupid call.

Anyway...that was a very D'Antoni half on the offensive end.

Kobe spew that venom

Well, we should score 110+ today.

Kobe was like WTF.....
but might be good call because he might actually make that half court shot, with 0.5 seconds they can't put shot up

so i've only been half-watching this game. are we playing well? or is this just dallas being crappy

i honestly was thinking we'd get 65 at the half and kobe drains a 3 to get to 65 lollll

He's taken 9 shots.

I was saying it mostly in jest. But he has also forced a lot of the action, which has led to turnovers. Just want him to look for Dwight a little bit more.

Pretty much a picture perfect first half.

When he plays like this then we are gonna be solid. But if he starts trying to score then we lose the flow

HEY Lakers Pizza Fan just let you guys know tomorrow order pizza from papa john
give code Lakers50 and you can get 50% off, because Lakers score more than 50 points by the half

Good half. Two things are evident. If we move the ball a little bit we get good looks.... second.. Dallas is playing the worst defense we've seen since the Detroit game....

Can't get overly excited... if we play this way against a "top" team then we may have turned a corner....

you can tell our bigs are tired. Dwight is extremely tired. he's not even 100% and is still recovering. you can just tell by how he's running the floor...no wonder he's not scoring too well. there is a correlation between dantoni's system and Dwight not scoring well.

it'll be there eventually but for now I think Jamison and Hill should have more minutes. Dwight should NOT be playing 40 mins a night right now. Give Hill more minutes and more with Pau at center. Especially if we're up by this much...perfect game to rest Dwight after a back to back game too

no our energy on both sides of the floor is night and day compared to the last 2 games. I think it was Metta who came out with 16 points in that first quarter who got us going with his energy.

We also saw Kobe really push the ball up the court faster after Dallas scored or we got the rebound to get that energy in the ball that D'Antoni wants

I'm not sure we're playing MDA's system yet.... we only had 41 attempts at half... that's about the same as last year...

Dwight needs to play better. Yes, he had some nice defensive plays. 4 steals and 1 block is amazing for two quarters, but still... he can't be shooting 1-5. I am pleased with his D in general, but he showed that he can be a 20 ppg scorer easily. Time to end this funk.

nice game. We just need to come with this energy defensively everygame. I think its what sparks them to play hard in all areas of the game.

Great half, Jamison & Jodie finally looked comfortable out there, Pau is playing better, Dwight...idk what's with him, they get him the ball, he just doesn't attack & when he does his moves are so predictable...

You can see its hard to find minutes for Hill even though he deserves to be in the game. Jamison is so so much more affective at the 4

We need to win the 3rd by 13 so we can rest the starters
