GAME 5: LAL Refs (4-1) @ DAL (3-2) | 110-119 OT loss | NBA admits missed call

[IamDougieFresh]

Only way to lose this game is foul trouble. Smart by Rick. Bench holding them off.

[Tyler]

As frustrating as the calls have been, the Dallas bench has maintained the lead against LA's starters and both KP and Luka will be checking in any minute now.

[SportPsychMav]

Finally Brunson starts passing and beautiful things happen again.

Wright must be one of the best drivers in the league laying it up or passing it after.

Lakers don't get their offense rolling at all. Their comeback solely came through defense.

[TheSportyChannel]

Why are out 2 star players still on the bench?

Mavs biggest advantage over Lakers is our depth. We don't have to necessarily match their star power. Let Luka and KP rest, while Lakers run Lebron and AD to the ground.

Hopefully by the 4th quarter, the difference will be seen.

Agree but that means Luka average will go down and those Trey Young fans will be all over it

OR Bench Mob runs them out of the building now 

[SleepingHero]

Boban offers zero rim protection

[bartlettbear]

RIck takes out the one shooter he as on the floor and adds DFS

[LukTheShadow]

If anybody watched last LAL game us MEM at home, refs total destroyed MEM's with whisteling NOTHING in favor of MEM, AD had a FT record on the other side ...

[Scott41theMavs]

Are these commentators annoying the hell out of anyone else?

Only everyone.

[SleepingHero]

DFS what a steal!!!

[speedkilz88]

Was that not a travel by Lebron?

[SportPsychMav]

Boban is know for his bad defense but great offense.

Luka and Zinger sitting provides the advantage that they might be still fresh in the 2nd half.

Great rotation by Carlisle this game.

[TheSportyChannel]

What a steal by Finny Smith

[SleepingHero]

Finally THJ hits one!

AND now Luka and KP come in. Lebron has already been in the game since the start of the 2nd quarter.

Lakers have a choice to keep Lebron in for the last 6 minutes, or rest him and let Luka feast.

[TheSportyChannel]

THJ For 3. Bench mob is back

[embellisher]

Are these commentators annoying the hell out of anyone else?

For sure! Welcome to the board. 

[Hypermav]

THJ makes me rage and smile about every 30 seconds.

[SleepingHero]

Was that not a travel by Lebron?

LeChina gets extra miles due to his special relationship with Winnie the Pooh.

[BigDirk41]

I wish THJ would do more of that.

[omahen]

Excelent defense so far. Terrible refs. Luka gets called for offensive, LeBron does exactly same thing, and of course no whistle. Bradley hitting Luka all night and not called for a single foul. Not to mention that imaginary offensive foul on DFS.
