Lakers v. Bucks! - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Tied at the end of regulation, going in to first OT! The Lakers were up early, but the Bucks have come back strong in the second half from the looks of gamecast. Hopefully after the Lakers were given the win against Denver, then beat Orlando in OT, they lose a close one and will fall to the Bucks!

Cannot believe this. Lakers are going to an overtime game for the second time in the last few days against an eastern conference opponent.

Dear Lord, Shaq has been a monster tonight with 31 points on 14 of 16 shooting. Plus, he has 25 rebounds and 7 blocks.

Lakers won. I could not see this game but looks like lakers have huge problems on the defensive end too.

This is frustrating that the Lakers don't play extremely well and their opponents still can't pull through.

What's 10X more frustrating is that team like the Buck, Magic and Clippers can hang around like that in the 4th quarter with the Lakers.

I think that fans of the Mavs will start seeing alot more of things like that in Mavs games. Last year the Mavs where somewhat unkown and snuck up on people. Now every team knows the Mavs are an "elite" and the will be gunning for them. It tough watching average to below average teams step their game up when the face the Lakers, so welcome to the club Mavs fans.

The Mavs weren't somewhat unknown last year by opponents. Sure, maybe by some of the fans of other teams they might have been, but not to opposing teams.

Well, I will tell you this Murphy... While I agree that we weren't one of those unknown teams like Nevade in the tourney this year, we were not so known to stink it up defensively... Now the entire league makes a mockery of us in every televised game... It is to the point now that no matter what the deficit, teams think they can come back on our shitty defense... And that is a big difference in Dallas vs. bad teams last year and this year... Since a couple of teams have done it, others believe they can, and the Mavs feel like they might in fact relinquish the lead... Its just all about confidence and swagger and when teams think we are a joke in every area BUT offense, its hard for the Mavs to believe in themselves...
