Id be disappointed but it was :bowdown: while it lasted. B2B and a 3PEAT in 10 years:cheers: and the signs were there so in a way im not that surprised.
But hey series isnt over yet :confusedshrug:

[LurkingFanboy]

But wouldn't that be a major blow? Especially since many predicted the Lakers would 3 peat.
I'd say so especially considering every Laker fan and every analyst basically said the Lakers would buzz saw the Mavs. There was so much disbelief that the Mavs could even put up a fight against them Lakers fans were supremely excited the Spurs lost. They saw that as an sure express pass back to the title game rested and ready after brushing aside weak competition.

Considering that hasn't happened and are on the ropes to not only lose but to be swept and utterly DOMINATED by a team everybody laughed at that's not going to sit well with many of them. Doubt it'll be a shrug and walk off like some are trying to make it now.

/agree

It's interesting though because in the early 00s, I really despised the Lakers, mostly because they were very smug about their success. To see them down 3-0, I think I'm more interested in seeing a new team get a chance at the finals

I doubt they will go out easy, which should make for a very nice Game 4 Sunday

[ThaSwagg3r]

If there is any team that could blow a 3-0 lead, it's the Mavericks. I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't give no hope to it either.

[icemanfan]

But hey series isnt over yet :confusedshrug:
How much you willing to bet. Hell I will even give you favorable odds.

[LurkingFanboy]

Well at this point considering how well the Lakers played and still had the game snatched from them hope that the Mavs will revert to past form is all they can pretty much hope for. That or Kobe pulls another 81 point game out of the magic sack some place.

Because if they don't get up on the Mavs BIG and early in game 4 the pucker factor and brain farts will happen in the 3rd and 4th quarters when it matters the most. Mavs have flat out out played the Lakers in the 4th quarter this series.

[sixerfan82]

:oldlol: This is hilarious. The Lakers losing game 3 literally caused the main forum to crash. People joked about that and it actually happened. As soon as game 3 was over, the main forum mysteriously started having technical issues.

Seriously, I thought Kobe was supposedly the 'best finisher' in the game. I guess that's only when they're up a few points and he gets an ideal situation?

[LurkingFanboy]

Lakerss main problem this series is they aren't likely giving their competition enough respect and thus aren't able to figure out they need to play with more abandon.
Last night a Dallas media person asked Shannon Brown if he thought it was possible for the Lakers to sweep themselves.

funny thing is i though kobe was getting his teammates involved and playing a limited role in the first 3 quarters of the game to try and save his energy for the 4th. i wonder if he's getting worn down.

[AERIALZ666]

sup lakers fans? wah wah wah post season is where wer gonna shine, weve proved it. B*tches

I'm shocked at this series, I think everyone is.
You just don't expect Lakers being down 0-3.

Stuff like that is why people don't like Lakers fans and get so happy to see y'all lose.

[Gallant]

I'm pleasantly surprised. It is looking like we will have a fresh match up in the Finals if the Lakers and Boston both lose in this round. I give the Mavericks the credit they deserve. They had more than one point in this series where they could have gave up and taken a loss but they rallied to win the games. Dirk and his teammates are really trying to redeem this franchise.

[Nero Tulip]

Honestly Kobe (whom I don't like very much) had a very good game. He made the right choices, except maybe in Q4.

But Pau and Odom were the players that needed to step up, and they didn't.

[DeronMillsap]

I don't think a Prime Jordan has EVER been swept. NEVER!!!! Kobe is f--king pathetic. :roll: :oldlol: :lol

[Glide2keva]

Until the final buzzer sounds with them being down, that's when I will be satisfied. having them on the ropes is no big deal, as of yet.

[Rysio]

if we win game 4 there will be a game 7

[catch24]

I don't think a Prime Jordan has EVER been swept. NEVER!!!! Kobe is f--king pathetic. :roll: :oldlol: :lol

Stern has been setting this up forever.

Dan Crawford will ref the rest of the series. Lakers will be the first team to overcome an 0-3 deficit. Stern makes more money for his owners. Book it.

[OldSchoolBBall]

LMAO @ this bold ass prediction from a fan of a team which has shown zero heart and will all playoffs and for much of the last third of the season. :oldlol: Yeah, I'm sure the Lakers are winning 3 straight against a team which has dominated them. :oldlol:

From the way the Lakers have played the whole season, We won't come come back they were playing with no heart or passion to win during this whole season :banghead:

:roll: :roll: :roll:

What a game last night. Hopefully we close this out on Sunday. Dirk and the Mavs are the 'it' team right now, never been like this for a long ass time. This is the year.

[reppy]

Maybe Dirk and the Mavs took it personal when Matt Barnes was talking all that doodoo about them being soft and knowing how to beat 'em.

[Scoooter]

A part of me wants to see the Lakers come all the way back and make history, if only to witness the insane, biblical, gamma ray burst of epic trolling that Hulk Hogan would start spewing into ISH. Also, branslowski would probably come back. The convergent nexus of trolling those two would unleash would set the internet back 30 years.

Also griffmoney, maybe. I have to see it. :eek:

[Scoooter]

Magic Johnson (paraphrased): "Sometimes guys can be together too long. This group has probably been together too long. Jerry Buss is going to have to blow it up...no is untouchable...except maybe Kobe...find out which big man to trade...need more athletes..." They talked about Dwight too.

[YAWN]

I'd say so especially considering every Laker fan and every analyst basically said the Lakers would buzz saw the Mavs. There was so much disbelief that the Mavs could even put up a fight against them Lakers fans were supremely excited the Spurs lost. They saw that as an sure express pass back to the title game rested and ready after brushing aside weak competition.


Everyone also assumed the Lakers would play as well as they are capable of, but they have yet to do so.

Not taking anything away from the Mavs cause Dirk has been the ****ing man this series, and their role players are knocking down all the wide open shots the Lakers defense is giving them.

[Colby Brian]

Michael Jordan
1984 - losing record, knocked out of 1st round (1-3)
1985 - losing record, got swept in 1st round (0-3)
1986 - losing record, got swept in 1st round (0-3)

MJ got knocked out of the 1st round 3 times (getting swept twice), and never posted a winning record in his first 3 years

[thatoneblackguy]

Jordan got knocked out of the first round in 1984, sub .500 record
in 1985 he got swept in the first round, sub .500 record
in 1986 he got swept again in the first round, sub .500 record

MJ without Pippen, he got knocked out of the playoffs 3 years in a row, and never had a winning record 3 years in a row
owned. :applause:

[Colby Brian]

Prime Kobe also missed the playoffs and got bounced out of the 1st round by a team that didn't play defense twice. Most overrated player in sports history.

in 2004-05 he was injured, and their 2nd best player was injured too, thats why they missed the playoffs, nice try tho

2006 took a 2nd seed suns team to 7 games, had a 50 points in game 6, also a game winner in game 4
2007 won one game where kobe had 45 points, he had a bad team who won only 42 games that year

MJ got knocked out of the 1st round 3 times (getting swept twice), and never posted a winning record in his first 3 years

So MJ was in his prime during his first 3 years:facepalm

1984-85. Jordan missed 64 games. Bulls don't face the Celtics if Jordan plays all 82 games and definetly doesn't get swept by whomever they face.

[Optimus Prime]

I guess the only silver lining from the Lakers losing so embarrassingly is that it creates the perfect opportunity and reason to blow this team up. The dream run is over.

Everybody but Kobe is on the block after they get swept. Do whatever it takes to get Dwight Howard. He wants to come there, and the Lakers desperately need a player like him. Make it happen, Kupcake!

...that's all we really have to look forward to at this point in time. :violin:

IFFFFFF pau becomes pau again, we can still win this series. its that simple. hes finally admitted to being worthless after the game yesterday, this might be what was necessary. during the game last night there was an interview with him that said everything: "I could be more aggressive, if possible" .. phil should punched him harder

[veilside23]

enough of this kobe vs jordan comparison it aint worth it anymore...

why cant we can just all move on.... still not over ... but it would take more than 1000 points from kobe to win 4 straight games. kobe is doing his thing the others so - so... mavs simply has a good match up against La. Like memphis vs spurs..

But honestly if am the mavs i would do everything to win game 4 or else it may go 7 games.....

im more worried about game 6 personally, hard to imagine we lose next 2

lakers will win game 4 i bet on that

what makes the losses more frustrating is that we literaly handed them 2 wins (gm 1 and 3), we just gave them the damn wins damn it

[LA KB24]

nice to see the haters coming out of their caves.

[LAKERSRETHEBEST]

I agree with what Magic Johnson said about Lakers not being able to close games; in Game 1, they were up by 16 points and they blew it; in yesterday's game, they were up seven points and blew that as well.

Well, now they know what's at stake; if they don't win tomorrow, they're going on a long vacation so everyone needs to come out, especially Pau, with a lot of focus because there's no room for error.

I know no team has come back from being down three games in a series but maybe the Lakers will be the first ones to accomplish that. And if not...well, better luck next year.

[Mirjalovic]

Lakers will make it.

no, its more becuase lakers keep making dumb mistakes in the 4th

game 1- foul dirk with 20 sec left, then turn it over twice
game 3- fisher commits dumb foul, and then they throw the ball away

[Maniak]

Actually, its because the Lakers aren't scoring as many points as the Mavericks.

anyways Go Lakers!!! (i guess)

[Troutfisch]

I can understand Lakers fans wanting to be optimistic about their team's chances but the facts don't lie: no team in NBA history has come back from 0-3.

Face it people, LA dropped 3 straight to the Mavs - what chance does Kobe & company have of beating a clearly superior team 4 consecutive games?

The 98-0 is skewed because how many teams of LA's caliber have actually went down 0-3 before? That 98-0 consists of roughly 95%+ of teams who were underdogs coming into the series and were never expected to win.

It's a long shot, but I'll never loss hope until my team is actually eliminated.
Go Lakers; game four will be the toughest game to win for LA, IMO.

It either starts or ends today.

This is actually true. I don't think a team of the Lakers caliber has ever been down 0-3 to a team like the Mavs before. The Lakers have more talent and would play the deciding game at home. They have championship experience...etc.

This is not the same thing as the underdog without homecourt getting down 0-3.

I'll write the Lakers off when its officially over. Until then, I give them a decent chance at coming back.

[crosso√er]

Ha, remember your post when you said, "You're an idiot if you think the Mavericks even have a chance in this series." Good call dude.

Never expected LA to continually give Dallas wide open looks at crucial situations either; that's the difference between LA being up 2-1 and Dallas being up 3-0 right now.

Do you not see how open they leave Peja, Terry, Kidd, Dirk etc?
It's like practice out there for Dallas.

[catch24]

Ha, remember your post when you said, "You're an idiot if you think the Mavericks even have a chance in this series." Good call dude.

and you'd be wrong.

two time defending champs have been swept away multiple times.

you really need to stop underrating the Mavs.

they are nowhere near as flawed as you constantly claim.

[HB40TheNextStar]

Kobe's stats in elimination games :eek:

8-8, just under 20.0 ppg, and did I hear 40% shooting correctly? Might be wrong on that last one.

[OriginalNameGuy]

DO IT MAVS!

SWEEP
Just get an early lead and the Lakers will quit

[BRabbiT]

great pass.

[blablabla]

[indiefan24]

I really don't understand why it's so hard to throw the ball inside into Bynum.

[konex]

Have I not been saying it all series? Kidd cannot ****ing guard Kobe and Phil is an idiot for not exploiting it like they've exploited Dirk on Pau

[konex]

I really don't understand why it's so hard to throw the ball inside into Bynum.

It's not hard. It's just not efficient offense. He takes waay too long to get position and it leads to a bad hookshot or rushed outside 3. We can force-feed Bynum vs. a team with no bigs like GS but not the Mavs

Mavs bench taking care of business

[BarberSchool]

Wow.
In an elimination game, it's amazing that the Lakers pick and roll defense, defense of the 3pt line, and perimeter rotational defense are so incredibly poor.

[IGOTGAME]

trades need to made.

phil seems shocked. I guess he didnt envision a sweep. Wow that's brutal.

[t-rex]

We are watching history. This is the last game for Phil Jackson, and he is going out like this

Will Kobe sit the whole 4th quarter?

[KG215]

Dallas has made LA their ***** for 3.5 games this series. Hopefully they don't have a collapse like they did in Portland in the second half and finish them off.

[dazzer87]

Lakers showing their true color....bunch of quitters.....

[MastahX]

Phildo Jackson is so over-rated. Imagine if he coached a team without Kobe, he'd win 20 games. Go Mavs!
