Dirk NOWITZKI vs Pau GASOL.......J-KIDD vs the BLACK MAMBA.......JET TERRY vs LO7......MAVS n LAKESHOW........NBA WESTERN SEMI'S Preview

There are a lot of story lines here folks.......Mark CUBAN and the Zen Master.........2 Best European Born NBA Players ever in Dirk NOWITZKI and Pau GASOL.........HOLLYWOOD and Upper/Lower Greenville.......LA Freeway Traffic and I-35 Dallas Gridlock.....anything else?....OK.......How 'Bout LAKERS n MAVS 2k11 Playoff BASH...........Let's Get It.

A lot of NBA Prognosticators have been waiting for this tilt that goes a few weeks back when the MAVS and LAKESHOW were battling it out for the NBA Western Conference #2 Seed. There are a lot of sub titles in this one but let's talk MAVS n LAKESHOW Match-ups:

1. MAVERICKS vs LAKERS in general: Did or did I not here the LAKESHOW calling the MAVS "SOFT" a few weeks ago. But a few weeks prior to that didn't MAVS Head Coach Rick CARLISLE call his own Team "SOFT". Well now we get to settle this one on the Floor and I wouldn't exactly call the LAKERS the 1990 "BAD BOYS" Detroit PISTONS either.

Case in Point.......By now every team in the LEAGUE knows what your going to do offensively and defensively......so in the PLAYOFFS it will come down to the Little THINGS........Hustle Plays, Execution, Half-Court Defensive Discipline, and Rebounding.......PERIOD
Can the MAVS Win?......You damn right they can win.........Do the LAKERS know this?.......Roger That........n COWBOY CAFE is whack.

2. Dirk NOWITZKI vs the LAKERS FORWARDS: The "DIGGLER" DIrk NOWITZKI is SICK......I mean a 7', face-up, back to the basket, fade away fool........with unlimited RANGE........and when he is going , which is most of the time, he is one of the toughest covers in the Association.

The LAKESHOW on the other hand have to sty TRUE........look at the TAPE......the EYE in the SKY never lies......and go after DIRK Physically. Leading that charge is yours truly from the biggest housing project in the Continental United STATES......put your MITTS together for RON RON Artest. He is not what he use to be by his own admission but can still play really good post-up D and Perimeter D with some of the Slower and stronger 3's and 4's.

Take RON RON and give Matt BARNES a shot, heck he had a shot in 2007 with the Golden State WARRIORS when the MAVS were coming off a season reaching the finals and the #1 Seed in the WEST and GS Beat them as the #8 Seed in large part of BARNES, B DIDDY, WACKO JACKO, and J-RICH.......when he is not coming through your backdoor.........BLUEDUDE went there.

The LAKERS will also use Lamar ODOM, the reigning NBA 6th Man of the YEAR.......But LAKESHOW be careful........The DIGGLER NOWITZKI is 1 of 4 Player ever to average 25 and 10 for the PLAYOFFS........the BLUEDUDE said he was DANGEROUS.

3. the SPANIARD Pau GASOL and Drew BYNUM vs the MAVS Front court by Committee: Can MAVS' BIGS Tyson CHANDLER and Brendan HAYWOOD negate the Dominance of LAKERS' BIGS in the SERIES?.........They CAN.......Question is......WILL THEY?

Tyson will have to play HUGE in this series and the MAVS know that they can't get killed in the PAINT and expect to win the series. HAYWOOD will have to do his Best "I'M BAD" Michael JACKSON Impersonation in this one to let the LAKESHOW'S BIGS know.......... Freddie KRUEGER'S on 1111 South FIGUEROA Street.......in LA...and he is a 7' Center.

GASOL and BYNUM just have to take it to the MAVS Front and make it a physical contest every night.......and if the LAKERS' BIGS can establish that.......the MAVS will fold in the PAINT.......and the BASKET will look like the PACFIC.

4. MAVS High Screen and ROLLS vs LAKERS Triangle: DALLAS runs that High Screen and Roll with DIRK and JET or J-KIDD...almost better than anyone in the LEAGUE...WHY?........all 3 have Triple Threat Potential and can knock it down from deep. The LAKERS will have to decide how they want to attack this Offense that the MAVS run exclusively in CRUNCH TIME. Whatever the LAKERS DO.....don't call the TRAILBLAZERS they had no clue on how to stop it.

The LAKESHOW runs that every one can join in and get off TRIANGLE Offense.....that when it's going right.....almost impossible to stop let alone the Skill Level of the LAKERS best Players running it. The MAVS will have to be very methodical in their approach....Like who do we DOUBLE and WHEN?..........RUN KOBE o the SIDELINES and keep him out of the middle of the FLOOR......and NO LAKER BIGS Rim RUNS to the Front of the Rim in transition.

All this is easier said than done....the BLUEDUDE is just trying to educate my audience to give you an insight on how the PRO'S do it.

5. MAVS Bench vs the LAKESHOW'S Bench: Jet TERRY and Jose BEREA can be a thorn in any teams side let alone the LAKERS. Add in Brendan HAYWOOD , DeShawn STEVENSON, and Peja STOJAKOVIC.........yeah that PEJA that shoots from the PARKING LOT....MAVS have him too.......MAVERICKS are Deep and in WAVES.

LAKERS will come with Shannon BROWN, Steve BLAKE, Matt BARNES, Luke WALTON, and the leagues #1 Guy off the BENCH......... Lamar ODOM. See the LAKERS are right there themselves so what does it come down to.....all the THINGS I talked about earlier......throw in who TURNS it Over More.........There is your Series.

WINNER: It's hard to against KOBE.......but after careful consideration........the BLUEDUDE is rolling with the MAVS in a HUGE UPSET in 6....4-2.........and it will be the MAVS and BULLS in the 2011 NBA FINALS.......now that's some BIG ONES BLUEDUDE.
