LAKEshow LAKERS @ Big D MAVERICKS

PLAYBOOK

The Lakers are right there and with the Rockets taking one on the chin in the Big Phone Booth (the Verizon Center D.C.) last night its time to move North again in the Western Conference. The Mavs have former All-Star @Swish41 coming off of Knee Surgery and it looks like DIRKiliscious won't be the "Diggler" until the 2013-14 Season. Having said all of that they tip-off in Big D for a Matinee Brunch as the Lakers look to try to get to .500 in the next two games counting this one.

The Lakers have been getting excellent Production for the Forwards and that's something the Mavs will have to key on. M.W.P., the Artist formerly known as Ron Ron of Queensbrdige NYC, and the "Earl of Staples" have been lights out in front court "As Dwight Turns" (Lakers #1 Soap on Bluedude Sportstalk). Mavs Shawn Marion , the Artist formerly known as Matrix 31 from UNLV by way on Vincennes Juco (Vincennes the only Juco in the State of Indiana with Alum like Tyrone Nesby, Keon Clark, and Ricky Green to name a few) will get the Assignment of trying to slow down Artest.

The Back Court the Mavs have the Youth and Athleticism but the Basketball IQ and Know How goes to the Lakers. Can the Mavs Darren Collison and OJ Mayo slow down the Black Mamba and Mr. Drummond...Steve Nash aka NASHty (Remember DIRty and NASHty for the Mavs...Dirk n Steve...with FINdawg...a Banger back in the dearly 2Ks)? The Lakers also have to be aware of the Mavs Transition game as they will like to slow this one down and pick their spots.

Off the Bench the Mavs have Daytona Beach Mainland HS Alum by way of Franklin Street Hoops NC U's VINcanity Carter and he is back to some of his old tricks. Once called Half Man/Half Amazing and now the Bluedude simply calls him Half Amazing/Half AARP as he can still Dunk but not with the reckless abandon. Go to Youtube and put in Vince Carter Top 10 Dunks and you will see what the Mr, Carter was cooking back in the Day. Can the Lakers Bench match Carter and the Mavs will be the Lakers biggest hurdle.

Key Match Ups:

the Black Mamba vs OJ Mayo

M.W.P. vs the Matrix 31

"Earl of Staples" vs DIRKiliscious

Lakers Bench vs VINcanity
