The Mavs will push it all game long. They had a couple of flakey scoring stretches in the 1st half and Shaq single handedly cost me the 1st half over, interfering on a 2 and then a 3 that looked money to go in. Not a lot of fouling going on, but I think that will change. Kobe didn't go off once. Dirk didn't do much either. The 3rd quarter should tell the tale here. If it hits in the mid-50s, it's going over easily. It should be tight all the way down to the wire. I think the Lakers might win this one.
Lake show 103-100 (I hope it goes over a little easier than this!, but I think it will end up low 100's for both teams)
