Game Day! Go Lakers! 
| Quote: | Lakers Draw Mavs for First Time in 2010-11
Two weeks ago, the Dallas Mavericks were jostling with the San Antonio Spurs for the top seed in the Western Conference, losing only five times in 29 games with Dirk Nowitzki leading many early season MVP ballots.
But on Dec. 28 at Oklahoma City, the German power forward who arguably keeps Pau Gasol from being called the best European player in the NBA sprained his knee after landing awkwardly on a jumper. Three games later, the team’s next-best shot creator, Caron Butler, ruptured the patellar tendon of his right knee. In related news, the Mavericks have lost 9-of-11 games, including their last six in a row, while struggling considerably to find their early season rhythm.
And who can blame ‘em, as on top of the Nowitzki/Butler injuries, defensive stalwart Tyson Chandler — whom none other than Phil Jackson volunteered as an All-Star candidate — has missed the last two games with the flu.
The Lakers have had their own injury issues, most notably in the form of Andrew Bynum missing the team’s first 24 games of the season, which took its toll on the loss column and on the legs of Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Sure enough, since Bynum’s return, the Purple and Gold have won 10-of-12 games. Also hurt are Theo Ratliff (knee soreness), who hasn’t played since early November, and Matt Barnes (arthroscopic knee surgery), expected to miss another seven weeks or so after tearing meniscus.
In stark contrast, the Spurs have stayed healthier than any team in the NBA, missing nary a game to injury while Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Co. roll through the season, establishing a league-best mark of 35-6 (.854), good for a 4.5-game lead on the Lakers (31-12, .721) and now, suddenly, 8.5-game edge over the Mavericks (26-14, .650).
It’s the latter two teams that will meet for the first time this season on Wednesday evening in Dallas. Nowitzki is back, fresh off a 32-point performance in Detroit, and Chandler’s expected to play opposite Bynum, while Barnes and Butler will be in street clothes.
The Lakers seem to be rounding, if deliberately, into form, while whether or not the Mavericks can reclaim some of their early-season rhythm remains to be seen. This even if the Lakers expect Mark Cuban’s squad to play with fervor, as is always the case when Kobe Bryant brings his team to Texas. |

I associate his voice with the last two Finals, so him calling a game brings up good memories. |

Alright, lets get some things out the way:
The officials will suck, unless the Lakeshow, blows out these (bleep).
Jason Terry will act like a douche.
Bynum will beast and get into foul trouble.
Go Lakers. Get the dub.

| I have a feeling this is going to be a tough game. Dirk has gotten a game to start reaclimating to the game, and after their long losing streak Dallas is going to be on a mission against the defending champs to regain their pride. We come out flat and we may dig ourselves a huge hole. If we don't forget about Jason Terry on the perimeter like we always do, and if Lamar can make dirk's life a living he'll like he normally does, we should still win this one handily though. |

Today's game worries me. Since the Mavs haven't been playing that great as of late, I am concerned that the Lakers will come into this game thinking they don't need to play hard.
They'll toss out the idea that they have to do the "little things" to beat the struggling Mavs.
The Lakers better watch out, because the Mavs are due a win. Sometimes teams roar back with big wins when their backs are against the wall - regardless of who they are and how they have been playing.
Let's hope we keep away from cuteness (weak passes and wild shots) in the lane and last second 3's (with an unbalanced defensive position). |
