Lakers Swept By Mavericks
The Lakers won't be making a third straight trip to the White House.
The Dallas Mavericks ended the Lakers season this afternoon, handing the defending champs an embarrassing 122-86 Ass Kicking.
The loss is said to be to the last game Phil Jackson will coach as he will announce his retirement. If this is the case the Lakers did not send their historic coach out in good fashion. The Lakers trailed by more than 20 points for almost the entire second half. On the heels of defeat two Lakers players were ejected for losing their cool with "Dumb-Ass" fouls.
With 9:06 left in the game Lamar Odom sent a hard body check to Dirk Norwitzki. This call was a bit suspect. The foul certainly deserved a technical but it is questionable whether Odom should have been ejected or not. It took several minutes to decide and the refs were forced to look at the monitors, finally Odom was ejected. Accoring to ESPN, "Norwitzki was not looking at Odom when the foul was committed, and this was the reason for ejection."
Just over one minute later and down 32 points at the 8:21 mark, Andrew Bynum committed a hard cheap foul to Mavericks guard J.J Barea. Bynum was ejected immediately. After taking his shirt off he was escorted off the court by security and model citizen Ron Artest.
Normally, we at Our6thMan stand behind any Laker as long as they are wearing the Purple and Gold. However tonight Andrew Bynum's bull shit foul was both embarrassing and classless. Not only did he embarrass himself and the Lakers but he ruined the final night Phil Jackson would be on an NBA floor. Andrew Bynum reminded us tonight that he is just an immature 23 year old kid playing a grown man's game. As frustrating as it is to get swept out of the playoffs, and as frusturating as it is to be down by 30 points on your way out this type of behavior is unacceptable.
With all the rumors lingering that Dwight Howard will be a Laker next season, we think this stunt will be the final straw for Bynum in Los Angeles. The league will most certainly suspend Bynum for the beginning of next season and that will suck for whichever team he is playing for. Enough is enough, no more injuries and no more bullshit.
Mitch Kupchak, It's time to start the Dwight Howard to Los Angeles Campaign!
