the mavs look lost early here. I predict K.O.B.E. and Captain Vacant Stare are gonna put one more up in the win column today.
Don't count on it just yet. The Mavs look pretty loose out there. I like their ball movement. Bradon Bass is starting to emerge. Terry is setting up for open looks cuz of Kidd. Dampier is doing the dirty work. They're still very dangerous.
The Mav's are a better team with Kidd....Dirk and Josh had sub-par games today and it's still going down to the wire.....if they can gel by playoff time watch out.
Chris Paul is ballin' but come on, he is not THE player.
50 points = check All defensive team = check Being a better leader = check
If he doesn't get MVP this year, the league is a joke.
My question to u is......where was K.O.B.E. in the MVP race before Gasol joined? I did hear his name this season, but now cats are being way more vocal about it. Im not really sayin u Telepath, but the media and them.
More Candidates
Manu Ginobli - Playin the best ball of hid career
Kevin Garnett - doin the same shit that Barkey did when he joined the Suns.

True. One more reason why fans should take media with a grain of salt.
HOWEVER, I do think Kobe's play has been taken since Gasol arrived in LA. Mainly because he got what he wanted and he's been inspired by the prospect that the Lakers are actually a contender now. You gotta give it to the brother (props and MVP award) because he conditioned himself like crazy, shed 20 pounds, increased his market value, while also being ready to seize opportunities like this...
I mean, what can I say. It was always hard being a Kobe fan. But what other superstar athlete in recent memory has gone through so much in such a short period of time? You talk about a dude growing up in front of the world's eye. It would probably be him.

That's my Kobe talk for the morning.
I do think he's ahead of the pack. Plus dude was doin it this year w/ less shot attempts and gettin the ball to the team.
seriously - The NBA would cream in their pants if a healthy Lakers met a healthy Celtics.
Bynum vs Perkins Gasol vs Garnett Odom vs Pierce K.O.B.E. vs Allen Fisher vs Cassell
I remember some dudes laughing when I said Billups is one of the elite guards. The dude got court vision, good passing, could hit the long bomb, post-up PGs that are typically smaller than him, and got patience and experience.
Nash gets all the attention, but Billups is the man.

We need Bynum and Ariza to compete with those Celtics. Our defense is still kinda weak. Celtics can clamp down in a hurry. If we were to play 7 games, I could see a virtual sweep by the Celts (w/out Bynum and Ariza).
First Dirk gets suspended for hacking AK47 last night and this morning at 4:00AM he was busted for robbing a Liquor Store......as he was being arrested he apparently mumbled something about sweaters and swagger??

What? They suspended him for that? Horseshit.
C'mon......dude is working on his swagger!!
No suspension yet but I expect one and he'll miss Friday's game against Houston
Adequate swag display would be something like Dirk jumping on top of his car in the middle of traffic, pulling a gun out from his waist and pistol whipping some kid who innocently asked for an autograph. Some shit to give Stephen Jackson pause.
c'mon now... jackson would sign the autograph for the kid and tell him to "stay in school." then he would pistol whip the rubbernecker in the car next to him for stopping traffic. captain jack's displays of swagger are not without reason.

This is a picture of Jerry Stackhouse about to take a seat. Check out the white socks with the white kicks.
seams to me, easily, the most exciting season of basketball we've had in a decade.
even the sixers are stepping up

I don't know if Euro-on-Euro crime gets swag points from this crowd.
I await Faux_rillz' ruling.

edit: these are things that dirk cannot grasp.
Before he rules let me set the robbery thang straight....
It was in the whitest of neighborhoods and apparently all he stole was a bottle of Creme de Menthe
This sounds about right.
WOW
Hold your head, Dirkriders.
This is so embarassing that even I am almost unable to take malicious pleasure in it.
Almost.
