MAVS pull away from LAKESHOW at STAPLES to take 2-0 LEAD.........RON RON slaps BEREA and gets Suspended for GAME 3.......LAKESHOW running on FUMES

The DALLAS MAVERICKS have done something to the LAKERS that no other team has done to them in recent years........make them look AVERAGE at best........and the LAKERS for once look like they are looking for a shoulder to cry on.

The MAVS have played at their pace the whole series and the LAKERS always look like the TEAM 2 or 3 steps behind. The NBA or should I say Coaching Basketball against another team is like a Chess Match........you try to counter what ever the other team is doing if its working against you. And if their strategy is not working......you stay put until they figure it out.

In last nights game MAVS Heads Man Rick CARLISLE in the 3rd quarter went to his bench and just simply out manuevered Lakers Coach Phil JACKSON.....check this MAVS Lineup..........they went with Berea at PG, JET TERRY at the 2, Peja Stojakovic at the Small Forward, DIRK at the 4, and Brendan HAYWOOD at the 5 and the LAKERS had no answer because the MAVS had 4 LEGIT 3pt SHOOTERS out there which means if they spread you out you either cut BEREA or TERRY off or the get to the rim even worst case scenario you help and there is a 3pt SHOOTER out there with a CLEAN LOOK........NBA BASKETBALL 400.........and you have to know what you are talking about to analyze the game like this..........the BLUEDUDE gets it in.

The STAT that stuck out like a sore thumb for the LAKERS was this one.........since the 3rd quarter of Game 1 the LAKERS missed 22 3pt SHOT until KOBE made one late in the 4th Quarter. The LAKERS had been outshot from the 3 LINE some 24 points as the MAVS were 8-15 and the LAKESHOW was 0-14........when the gap is that big from the ARC.......you will lose almost 95% of the TIME.

LAKERS Bench was non-existent as they had only 12 points and KOBE led them in scoring with a quiet 23. The MAVS on the OTHER HAND have the best thing going in the PLAYOFFS on the "DIGGLER" Dirk NOWITZKI as he killed the LAKESHOW again with 24 and 7. The MAVS Bench also played a huge part with 30 BIG POINTS with the JJ BEREA SHOW in full effect or should I say LATE NIGHT with JJ from FIGUEROA........LOL.

I know DIRK has caught some slack by some critics saying that he doesn't rebound the BALL enough, Shoots way too many JUMPSHOTS, and doesn't go to the RIM or POST UP ENOUGH.........SIMPLY PUT to all you naysayers........ DIRK IS A PROBLEM......and now it's the LAKESHOW'S PROBLEM...........and as it stands right now.......being down 2-0 is an even bigger PROBLEM.
