This is an even deeper climb for the Lakers than what the Heat had to do back in 2006.

Heh, since this thread has taken a turn into "make believe land" involving the 2006 Mavericks.....how many pts do you think Shaq is going to score against Dallas in game 3?

Will Rick Fox have a big game?

Do you think Michael Jackson will attend the game?

there is pressure on them, but they should be feeling confident as well going home. The Lakers will have more pressure as the game goes on, because if they lose tonight, its done.....

There's a lot more on the Lakers. THEY are the favorites. THEY are trying for a three-peat. THEY just lost two games on their home court.

The Mavericks are playing with house money.

Since the Mavs have a history of choking in the playoffs I think the pressure is on the Mavs

Those choking Maverick teams are a thing of the past. This current Mavs team is solid, gritty, tough and defensive minded. Very different than previous Dallas teams. The LAL on the other hand are the new chokers. Dropping the first two homes games of a critical series. Ridiculous.
