I actually watched the whole Lakers game this time, and I have to say, I must have watched the most boring game....wait for it....until the 3rd quarter.

Kobe 0 for what was it like 6 in the first quarter?? Like what happened?

But then that lay in got him going, after that he was red hot. McRoberts is a another player I really like, he needs to get more time on the floor. They need to create more offensive opportunities for him, like the alley he got, followed by the reverse jam. I also think that the inexperience of their rookie point guard Morris also affected their offensive capabilities.

Fisher, I was surprised he turned it on in the last quarter as well, and of course that game winning 3 gave them a win. I see a lot more drive in Bynum, he definetley created more problems for the Mavs offense in the lane, and the hes actually one of the few big men that can actually shoot free throws.

All in all the game itself was very slow offensively, you would think that with Kobe not putting up high numbers like his previous games in the first half, and Fisher and Morris not contributing offensively, that they would be loosing, but no....they are playing the Mavs.

Yes, kudos to the Lakers for the win, but the Mavs were terrible. Jet Terry was no where to be found till late in the 4th quarter. The possesions always ended in throwing Nowitizki the ball (which most of the time was from Kidd), and there were so many air balls I thought I was watching a high school basketball team play.

Not a good way to represent themselves as the defending World Champs, if someone who didn't know about basketball saw how the Mavs played last night (and for the most part have been playing) they would not believe they were the NBA final champs last season. Just poor basketball on their part.

And I will end my little anaylsis by saying I cannot wait for next Thursday.

old man Fisher comes through...Love it, reminded me of the good old days

Is it just me or did Kobe and Lamar have an awkward moment right before Fish hit that 3?

nmjaxx9 · 01-17-2012, 01:40 AM

I think he was telling Lamar "watch this next play" or something like that.

Yeah it was a slow game but it was because of a ridiculous defensive effort from both teams, this is how basketball is supposed to be played, not the offensive throw the ball across the court and hope for a dunk. Yeah that stuff is fun to watch but the defense stuff wins championships.

I feel pretty bad for Lamar, he looked suicidal after Fish hit that shot.

nmjaxx9 · 01-17-2012, 01:50 AM

Yeah but Kobe and Lamar are buddies, they probably poked fun at it after the game. And I would be surprised if Lamar didn't feel dissapointed after the 3. Im sure he still has a lot of love for his previous teammates, but as a Maverick, he felt the the game slip from them at that moment.

And what I meant mostly by the offense was slow is that there were was a lot of hasty passing, air balls, and clumsy shots. On both sides, but the Mavs definetley were playing bad basketball as I previously stated. Rick Carlisle needs to implement a new offensive strategy if the Mavs are gonna have any kind of chance in the Western Conference. As the raining champs I def expected better....and they dissapointed me a lot this game.
