The game seems to be controled by Dallas even though Lakers lead at the half, unless Mamba comes up with another superhuman performance in the 2nd half, this will be over. Bryant again has to will this team if he wants to win, his team mates just seem uninterested in playing well aside from Bynum...
Nonetheless this is a very exiting ball game with great playoff intensity...
dont wanna say i told you so... but i told you so hehehe
Now who ever is thinking that this current Dallas team has no heart and spine to compete must now be joking....
LA has only one question: How do you defend Dirk? hehe
Dallas will live and die with thier jump shooting, they got down by 8 with 6 mins in the 4th because they began missing their jumpshots even if they wer good open shots, but once they began to fall in, Dallas is very hard to beat.
The difference: before when Dallas begins missing their shots they are already in trouble because of their lack of defense, their only way to win a game is to outshoot an opponent. Now with their improved defense they can withstand these offensive droughts enough to win the game in the end...
And what can you say about J.Kidd's defense on Kobe... he played him as well as anyone can defend a great player.
