BULLETPOINTS: LAKERS VS MAVERICKS GAME 4
1. The Lakers... embarrassing, right? Gasoft.
2. Lamar Odom is a jerk, but Andrew Bynum is a thug. J.J. Barea is a TINY MAN. I'm talking small like the dude in the Thunder jersey in that one NBA commercial where he dreams of hitting a buzzer beater against the Celtics. Andrew Bynum is an ENORMOUS MAN just knocking down the scrappy little Puerto Rican dude for no reason.
3. So long Phil Jackson. Wouldn't your FOURTH three-peat have tasted like a so delicious luxury meal? Yes, it would have. But instead you got swept, which I'm sure tastes more like shit. BRING ON THE BRIAN SHAW ERA.
4. Simply put, this game was ONLY fun to watch if you're a Mavericks fan. Who wants to see any team slaughter another team unless it's the team they're rooting for? Big ups to the Mavs though -- 60% from the field including 62.5% from three point range. That's evidence of wanting to win right there. Dirk Nowitzki only scored 17 points (well under his 25.7PPG playoff career average) but the bench killed it with Jason Terry, Peja Stojakovic and J.J. Barea combining for 75 points on 27 for 35 shooting. Mindblowing.
