Other than that awful foul at the end of the first half, yeah, Terry played very smart basketball tonight.

Bynum in particular was absolutely invisible except for a couple of easy baskets when Dirk got knocked off by a pick and Haywood got lost around the three point line once.

haywood was big too

I liked Haywood tonight and Brewer of course, good game from both.

Dirk, beast!

Haywood was quietly HUGE and Brewer brought the spark. I think RC stays with the same starting lineup for the sake of continuity but we'll be seeing more of Corey for sure.

Chuck has said more cogent things this playoff run than I've ever heard him say.

tcat075 · 05-03-2011, 12:31 AM

Disagree with the title. "Stealing" implies theft or secrecy. The Mavericks walked in, punched the Lakers in the face, and calmly grabbed the win and sauntered off.

Mav Addict · 05-03-2011, 12:32 AM

Chuck has possessed Barkley this season

Bayliss · 05-03-2011, 12:32 AM

**And down goes Frasier!**

Get two, Mavs, don't be satisfied.

dude1394 · 05-03-2011, 12:33 AM

Mavs benefitted from a good reffing crew tonight. Strangely enough we want the ref crew to allow MORE contact not less.

BINGO

I might be ignorant of the best plays for the Lakers, but my friend and I were just talking about how arrogant that play was for Jackson to run. Yes, Kobe is awesome, but why not try for an easier two points to send it into OT?

You know what?? EFF THE LAKERS!! That's what you get when taking this Dallas team for granted! As long as the Mavs absolutely *believe* that they can win this series, they will do it, and that's taking nothing away from who we're playing.

Bynum didn't even play half his minutes against Haywood and I've already rattled off that two of his four baskets that came while Haywood was in the game. So I'm not sure how Haywood gets most of the credit. Haywood played well, but he's not the whole story here.

41creepingdeath · 05-03-2011, 12:34 AM

Chuck giving praise to Dirk like there's no tomorrow.. love it!

mac222b · 05-03-2011, 12:34 AM

JJB was pretty good. Props to Dirk for passing out of the double team to find JJ for BOTH of his made 3's.

fluid.forty.one · 05-03-2011, 12:34 AM

I'm so happy.

mac222b · 05-03-2011, 12:35 AM

This win is a huge confidence boost for Game 2 and now the 1 day rest looks like a blessing. Keep rolling...

exactly... no ticktackfouls means a lot for the mavs

sefant77 · 05-03-2011, 12:36 AM

Haha, Postgame on TNT, they all praising Dirk, just Webber sitting there with sad face saying nothing

Mav Addict · 05-03-2011, 12:36 AM

I hope that Phil listens to the TNT crew and not start Bynum next game....Odom and Pau will murdered in the paint

Well I thought Haywood played better defense than Tyson when he was in the game. That's how I saw it. +6 seems to indicate something to that effect. Didn't say it was the whole story. Tyson was great on Pau down the stretch.

41creepingdeath · 05-03-2011, 12:37 AM

Haha, Webber is butthurt. "He has Chandler which helps him a lot cause he's a defensive liability".

Just pretty good? It was lock down. Especially considering all of the Laker fans were saying Bynum would eat Chandler for breakfast and it was the exact opposite.

jcm28 · 05-03-2011, 12:38 AM

did c-Webb just say that Chandler is a defensive liability? Probably my mistake.

the funny thing is later on Kenny calls out Phil for not giving Odom and Pau the shots to succeed

Oh God, they're still pedaling that garbage?

iella · 05-03-2011, 12:40 AM

Amazing.

Flacolaco · 05-03-2011, 12:40 AM

Not to belittle the game six performance against Portland, it's only a game one after all, but... most enjoyable playoff win since...when? Game six against Suns in Phoenix, 2006? Is that a bit much? Maybe, but it's the Lakers for Pete's sake.

CadBane · 05-03-2011, 12:41 AM

Not enough people are mentioning Corey Brewer here. Dude was a HUGE spark. +11 in only 8 minutes and he was doing all kinds of great things. Kobe hit some shots on him, but Kobe was hot. Brewer is just so active and he actually moves around on offense. He really needs to start Game 2. DeShawn was killing us, and his defense was surprisingly terrible.

mac222b · 05-03-2011, 12:41 AM

Haywood and Chandler were both way better than they have been on Bynum which is huge. And the refs actually called Bynum for 3 seconds! A harbinger of good things to come?

Arrogant? Dude knew they had no chance if it went to OT. Why play for a sure loss?

Remember how many times we thought this in the regular season only to have him ride the pine the next game?

OSUmavsfan · 05-03-2011, 12:42 AM

Kobe had 29 shots and none were within 11 feet. I can live with that even if he's making them like he did tonight.

mavs777 · 05-03-2011, 12:42 AM

@rhylan_rowe First back to back playoff road victories for Mavs since Gms 3 & 4 vs. MEM in 2006.

dude1394 · 05-03-2011, 12:42 AM

Corey actually turned the game around imo...

kg_veteran · 05-03-2011, 12:42 AM

Great win.

You're welcome.

Winning Game 1, on the road, after being down by 16(?)after a mini-implosion and 3 straight(!) turnovers to start the 2nd half... it doesnt get much better or guttier.
