GDT: game 2 - Mavs (0-1) at Lakers (0-1) 7:00 ESPN

[Melonhead]

I watch WCS and wonder oh dang he made a bad pass I guess he’ll have to sit. Where others have free reign to turn it over and not worry if they’ll sit.

[rimrocker]

This game is similar to the last.
Down 7 points and cut it to 2 then 30 seconds later down 8.

[SMC0007]

Can we categorize JB with DP now? Or too soon?

[Melonhead]

James Johnson baybee

[rimrocker]

I'm not sure Lakers are much better than us with a healthy KP.
Richardson and THJ are virtual no-shows and we're hanging with them.

[Melonhead]

Brunson loves going solo on offense sometimes.

You mean the defending champs that upgraded in the offseason? Lol

[MFFL]

It’s so hard playing the Lakers

They get EVERY call

[rimrocker]

Lakers get the break from the officials again.

[rimrocker]

Lakers shooting 50% from 3...that won't last.

You don't think we upgraded?
And don't forget we were missing a lot of pieces in the POs last season.

Luka aging a year is different than LeBron aging a year.

[Melonhead]

Comical watching Powell guard AD.

Also transition D showing up again yuck

[rimrocker]

Looks like Rick has completely given up on Green already.

They won the title as a one seed and upgraded. That’s not even the same stratosphere as what the Mavs did. Did you forget the Mavs were an 8 seed? The lakers are that much better. Down 12 is not “hanging around” and giving up 70 points in a half.

The corona break helped old ass Lebron and glassman Davis for sure

Ummm...you know I said with KP and that they aren't that much better.

[FreshJive]

Luka still not looking like himself yet.

[sefant77]

We are missing KP, Luka isnt in shape, Lakers got BS calls for 5-7 points...so yeah, we are not that bad or the Lakers arent that good either

The fate of our season will completely hinge on KP's health.
If he is healthy we can compete with anyone.
If he isn't, we will struggle to make the POs.

[dricas24]

It was imperative that we sign another star during free agency due to KP's inevitable season ending injury which is going to come again and we didn't do it. Prepare for a disappointing season.

No rim protection with DP at Center

And with KP we were the 8 seed.

I get it we’re on a Mavs forum but the bias makes me laugh. Lakers aren’t that good but rolled to a title? Lebron is 36 and I don’t see him out of shape. There’s bs calls every game. Mavs are down 16 and climbing.

Dude, stop making shit up.
Nobody said the Lakers aren't that good.
That crap is getting old on here.

[SMC0007]

We all knew this was gonna happen.

This team was in dire need of a regular training camp and watching Luka makes that pretty apparent.

[SMC0007]

Just give a good run at them down the stretch and make it a testy Lil xmas game at least.

[rimrocker]

We are starving for a starting caliber big.

[EricaLubarsky]

Phuket

[EricaLubarsky]

Powell should not play another NBA minute

[mac222b]

All right he went away from Brunson. Hold long before he sits Powell?

[rimrocker]

Where in the hell is WCS or even Boban.
Our interior is absolutely pathetic.

[rimrocker]

Hard to believe we're only down 12.

[SMC0007]

Wtf is Powell doing?! Box the f out! Rick is a stubborn mofo. Finally got him outta there.

[Melonhead]

Burke is so good at getting buckets

[rimrocker]

There is very little that I like about THJ's game.

[SMC0007]

Terrible shot selection Luka

[rimrocker]

Fuckin Lakers can't miss.
