Loss to Lakers Recap

I saw this coming. I knew the Mavericks would be 0-3 at home after facing the Lakers last night. Of course they started off strong but that seems way to familiar at times with the Mavericks.

The Mavericks seem to have such energy in the first two quarters then lose all the momentum after half time. They come off as an older team that can't keep up after wasting all their energy in the first two quarters.

I hate saying this but the Lakers are the better team, they're doing everything right. The Hornets are doing it right as well. I think the Kidd trade is proving that old dogs and their tricks can't keep up. Althought Kidd is doing well, he needs a supporting cast to help win games.

Sure we have a new coach but we need some new players. I see some promising players in Green, Diop and Bass but beyond that, it's hard to say the rest have championship quality in them. Dirk might benefit from a trade to get a championship because if he sticks with the Mavericks, he's not going to see a ring anytime soon.

The final tally was 106-99. Terry was the leading scorer for the Mavs with 21 points in 39 minutes. I like Terry but he's just so inconsistent, one night he can score 20 plus points, other nights he won't even break double digits.
