Kobe owns the Mavs
What else is there to say? I have no idea what his final point tally will be, but as I go to bed in dismay with 3:26 left in the 3rd, he's already got 50.
50.
He also got away with slamming Dirk so hard in the face it gave him a black eye. Fortunately, Josh Joward racked up a solid flagrant clothesline right to Kobe's mug a few plays later. Nice to see Howard doing some enforcing.
Interestingly, I think the Mavs have actually gotten worse at defending Kobe since Avery took over. I'll do some numerical investigation tomorrow to back up the hypothesis. For now, though, the Mavs just have to chalk this one up to "one of those nights."
Here's to hoping the Lakers don't climb to the fifth seed anytime soon.

1. Irk was trailing behind Kobe like he wanted an autograph. He deserved the elbow for playing weak.
2. That was just sad. Irk is a big dude; he shouldn't be such a candy-ass.
3. Enforcer? I'll see your 'enforcer' and raise you...oh, to 62.
Aw, man, you won't own up to your identity? Look, you can have your 62 and the 14-11 that goes with it. Nicely done. I'll take 18-7 any day of the week.
1. Clean strip by Dirk, replays were clear.
2. Sad? He got a black eye and came right back in the game. Like Barkley, you are apparently stuck back in 2002 (which would explain the Laker worship). Ask Luol Deng's teeth and Kirk Hinrich's dome if he's soft.
3. Did you see Kobe try to front after Howard clocked him? Priceless. Kobe the Suburban Gangster in Tites. I love it.
Honestly, no one should want any part of the Lakers in the playoffs. They can't go all the way, but no one on Earth could have stopped the Ganster in Tites last night.
