NOTE
•In the previous meeting, in a game with 20 lead changes, 10 ties and no lead greater than
six, we only got 14 fourth quarter points (5-5 FG) from Kobe Bryant, including a 22’ jump
shot to give the Lakers a 96-92 lead with 2:29 left in the game, and after O.J. Mayo and
Steve Nash exchanged three-pointers, Dirk Nowitzki cut our lead back to two with a
driving layup, but Kobe would again hit a long jumper with under a minute to go to get the
Lakers back up by four and eventually pull out a 103-99 victory at American Airlines Center.
Kobe Bryant finished with a game-high 38 points (13-21 FG, 4-5 3FG, 8-10 FT) and
Steve Nash added a season-high 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3FG, 2-2 FT). Antawn Jamison
(13 points) and Jodie Meeks (11 points) rounded out the Lakers in double-figures, while
Dwight Howard posted nine points and a game-high tying 13 rebounds. The Mavericks were
led by Dirk Nowitzki’s 30 points (11-19 FG, 4-4 3FG, 4-5 FT) and game-high tying
13 rebounds, while Vince Carter (15 points) and Elton Brand (14 points, 8 rebounds) were
the only other Mavericks players to finish with double-digit scoring games.

[Laker_Town]

Howard should come out and try to make a statement. I doubt hell be affected by the shaq thing. I think he proved in the orlando game that he has a killer instinct.

Time to activate

Obviously it cannot be a loss under any circumstance. No excuses, win.

[Who Takes The Blame]

We have to win the rest of the games

[K2]

Total annihilation victory

(or even a 1 pt win is fine)

[ForrestHump]

btw series is not tied at 1 - 1, it's us leading 2 - 1, we won both games @ Dallas and they won against us at home.
