Whens the last time you saw two premiere teams play such a craptacular game?

Its just annoying. We are creating all these insanely open shots, and knocking down none of them. I wish they would stop creating them, since we are obviously cold.

And Steve Kerr can't do math.

better than missing shots in the paint, layups, and FTs

Looking at the stat line I bet we win this game if J-Kidd doesnt play.

I haven't been watching... but the Lakers scored 7 points in the 3rd? Seven? That's gotta be some kind of record.

Almost. They once scored just 6 in the non shot clock era.

Thats what happens when you keep shooting ****ing jumpshots all night, and they arent going in. ****ing annoying.

And Vince hurt himself on the final shot. This just sucks.

How close was Vince Carter's 3?

Bounced off back rim, was a soft shot had a chance to bounce in but it popped out.

how in the world the mavs didn't win this game is amazing. the Lakers are completely gassed. they have played the most games in the league. and it's showing.

love the Lakers defense with Mike Brown. really really hurts not having Blake, rookie PG is killer.

the mavs are deplorable for not winning that game by 10+. Kobe off. Gasol off.

oh, and Bynum is a freaking beast. 17 and 15 tonight. Averaging 16 and 14 on the season. he will be amazing until he gets hurt again.

Note: just figured out why the Lakers traded Odom. so he wouldnt hurt Bynum's knee for the 3rd straight year.

No but if you can gif that

simplebay, you are a piece of ***** No one in your life likes you.

patag.. are you always bitter and pissed off?

Did anybody else catch Kobe giving Odom the crybaby face?

For some reason, I thought that was a *****bag move. I know horrible things are said all the time in trash talking, but I didn't like that. Maybe b/c they are former teammates. I don't know; I guess Kobe's perspective is that Odom quit on them. The announcers didn't say a word about it.

But what I horrible game. It was almost as bad as women's college ball. I still find it amazing that professional athletes would get so out of shape during a lockout. Seriously, did some of these guys not even pick up a ball during the offseason?

One more thing: does Dallas even need Kidd? IMO, he served his purpose, helped get a ring, all-time great, etc. But Dallas doesn't need a true PG (unless he's a Rondo, Williams, someone who can actually contribute offensively). They have plenty of guys who can bring it past half court and pass it to Dirk. Time to push Roddy B out of the nest. See if dude can fly.

Boy, that sure is ironic coming from Kobe...

in point of fact, Dirk, Artest, and Pierce have all said this exact thing. They were all playing yesterday.

to name a few

^
What, these guys have questioned what players were doing during the offseason? Dirk hasn't exactly looked good. Pierce looks slow and fat. Ron, well, is Metta.

no...they have stated they themselves have not picked up a basketball since the end of last season.

That's so surprising about Dirk. I understand taking time off, and you can't go 100% 100% of the time. I just hope he hasn't lost his drive now that he has a ring. I guarantee Kobe didn't take the offseason "off."

Dirk recently told the Dallas Morning News that even though he has done some cardio and weight work, he hasn’t picked up a basketball since the night they were crowned champions.

That's not exactly true because he played in the European Basketball Championships with Germany. In fact that's the root cause of a lot of Dirk's problems - he is tired because he didn't get all that much rest, but he also didn't spend much if any time working out and doing his normal routine either.

I agree with Rogue.
