Mavs have beaten the Lakers this year already. It would be nice to get the #2 seed, but you don't have to panic.
I somewhat agree, but honestly we beat them early on when they were disinterested. Now they're playing playoff-caliber basketball and watching the game last night it was plainly obvious the Lakers are both mentally and physically tougher. With a finesse player at the 4, you really need a tough 5 with a commanding presence in the paint. I thought we finally found that guy with TC, who's not only tough but athletic to boot, but Bynum pushed him around all night last night.
If we get a chance to play LA in the playoffs he's going to have to play out of his mind, and the jumpers are going to have to fall.
