17-2 is tied as the franchise best for the Lakers. Would be fun to snap it.

I am guessing we have to suffer with the national broadcast today.

As much as I would LOVE to win this game @ LA; it's national TV against the Media's team.
No way we win this one, boys. Let's just enjoy some, hopefully good, basketball on a Sunday afternoon. I guarantee its better than watching the Cowboys stink up the joints on Sundays.

KP can't be passive in this one. He has to get inside and take full advantage of his height and length on offense. There is no reason why he can't draw a lot of fouls, if the refs will call them.
And the Mavs better get serious about offensive rebounding, as I do not want to see a layup drill for the Flakers.

Play well + neutral refs + bench Dwight = win

There were many times that he played excellent D on Davis and Lebron. If the Mavs are going to win today, they are going to need that same kind of effort from Powell. This game is big for Powell/KP/Maxi/Bobi/DFS! Let's see how they do. Now, if you are hoping that the Lakers bench Dwight Howard, I am with ya.

Powell didn´t lose it but he could have secured the win. Just for comparisation Howard and Drummond are better FT shooters this season. Sample size is still small but Powell is shooting 50% from the FT-line. Add his bad defense and Dampier-hands on offense and he looks like a completly different player compared to last season. It´s like Powell forgot how to play basketball over the summer. Is it because he signed a big contract and lacks the motivation to put in the necessary effort? Is the injury still impacting him? Is he outmatched against opposing starters and needs to return to his former role?

I don't think we'll win this one, but I'll be happy if we keep it close with a chance in the 4th. LA is really hot right now and at home. It's going to be a good experience for this team regardless.

Here's to hoping rick goes against his fetish of undersized/3pg lineups and plays players of size at their actual position and let the rest of the chips fall where they may. So we see few/limited mins of brunson/curry/west as a set but actually mixing them in with JJ,DFS,Maxi,Boban and maybe even Brokoff. We need all the size we can muster to hopefully rebound and keep them to one possession as when we play smaller guys we just f ourselves defensively and have to work harder offensively. And don't try to 3 our way to victory either.
Its not brain science but it is a frustration for me to watch us shoot ourselves in the foot by playing undersized matchups in a league that is more and more about size/length and shooting. (and our guys dont even flop {which i hate too;but hey might as well if your too small and getting pushed around with blind refs}. The lineups that we play will determine if we will keep it close with a chance of grabbing the game late or if it'll be like the clippers game.... down 12-20 points most of the game and losing by 8-12. Choice is yours Rick..... unless Luka/KP just go bonkers which would be cool too.

"The Lakers dominated the easy start they had to the season, going 17-2 and finding themselves at the top of almost every major statistic. Now comes a real test where they’ll have to play playoff-caliber teams on an almost nightly basis from both conferences and it starts with the Mavericks."
Wow, it is nice to be respected as a team again. "Avery Bradley was re-evaluated for his hairline fracture after the team’s win against the Washington Wizards and at that time was ruled out for not only this game, but the entire three-game road trip coming up afterward. Kyle Kuzma is also listed as questionable, but it’s much more likely he’ll see the court than Bradley after suffering a mild left ankle sprain in the win over the Wizards" No Bradley! https://www.lakersnation.com/lakers-vs-m...019/12/01/

Choice is yours Rick. You believe this? If the coach plays conventional lineups the Mavs win? If he doesn't they don't? And you think we lost to the Clippers because we didn't play conventional lineups? I don't think data would support this general idea and I don't think the general idea describes the Clippers game.

Oh well, Powell starting -- again. How long will it be until he gets two or three fouls and RC will be forced to play Maxi?

Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

Very cool that Dirk is at the game. Loving the pre-game analysis. Here's our starting 5.
