2011 Playoffs: (2) Lakers Vs. (3) Mavericks

[Lamrock]

Ugh. Lakers in 5. Just ugh.

[hova-]

I don't know what to say here. Lakers will obviously be a tough matchup, but I do believe in this Mavs team. Kobe's not playing great so far. Fearing Gasol though, best player on the team anyway.

I go for Mavs in 6 just because I'm a goddam fanboy.

[deihatein]

Mavs in hard fought game 7.

[NovU]

Even though both teams weren't that impressive in the first rounds, I think the Lakers are still the better team here. Depends on how good Tyson Chandler can limit LAL's twin towers I think will be a key factor here for the Mavericks. My hopes are with Mavericks in 6.

[Dan's Brain]

Lakers in 6. They havent found their championship gear yet, but I dont think the Mavs will go down easily.

[JaoSming]

Mavs in 6? Please?

[Alpha_]

Mavs in game 6 or 7.

[shadowgrin]

Lakers in 4 because Kobe is doin' work right now as I post this.

I want a Mavs-Thunder WCF.

[benji]

Dirk has never played well in the playoffs and has constantly imploded when his team needs him, while Kobe Bryant has never played poorly in any series ever. Case closed.

[Martti.]

Mavs in 7.

[benji]

If there is anything that Kobe Bryant loves it is being challenged. And Kobe thrives on this, seeing challenges as merely something to overcome. Something he has done year after year when everyone has doubted him.

The raw facts are this: when Kobe Bryant wants to win, Kobe Bryant wins. No matter how much the league wishes to deny him, when he wants it, he gets it.

If Kobe loses, it's because he didn't care, and that losing makes him care, and he strikes back and wins just to re-establish himself as the greatest alpha-male of all time.

Caesar?

Alexander?

Both bailed out before Kobe set foot on the planet.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Lakers Sucks just like SoccerTeam Bavaria Munich and FC Barcelona

Edit: I hope Mavs in 4 Sweep Sweep

[rise]

Mavs in 6? Please?

I hope so. I said Dallas in 7 though.

I want a Mavs-Thunder WCF.

My thoughts exactly.

[Andrew]

I'm going with Lakers in five, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

[atlwarrior]

I'm going with Lakers in 6.

[jonthefon]

I love you benji for speaking the truth.

[Mavs4Life]

Mavs in 7, also because I'm a fanboy.

[Houndy]

Mavs in 6, I hope Beaubois will have an impact in this series.

[Axel The Great]

I'm going with Lakers in 5. For some reason, I have an odd sinking feeling that this will be an easy series for the Lakers and Kobe, but I'm strongly hoping I'm proven wrong.

[Fresh8]

Lakers sweep.

[SpriteAlpha]

Lakers in 5 from me.

[atlwarrior]

Jeez kinda shocked to see more votes for the Mavericks.

[Andrew]

Could just be wishful thinking.

[jenroe962002]

I Want this series atmosphere and intensity just like in the reg. season game.

[atlwarrior]

Well sorry man it won't be. Kobe seems so determined and Bynum looks healthy and is beastin right now. The only team would have a good shot at beating the Lakers in the West is the Thunder because they will matchup better than anybody else will and Kendrick Perkins will put Bynum in his place that is if he could last throughout the whole series. I probably should've chose Lakers in 5.
