72-70

[Pinwheel1]

72-70 Blazers up by 2 and Dallas with the ball. Dirk shoves Wallace to the ground with both hands in front of the ref, and then 1 second later the ref calls a touch foul on Brandon reaching in sending Dirk to the line. At that point you knew it was over. You can't beat Dallas in Dallas unless you play perfect.

The worst thing that can happen when playing Dallas is to have Dirk play bad in the first half, because he will bitch and cry so much that he ends up getting every call in the 4th.

13-13 in the 4th (Free throws)

Sure the blazers made their own mistakes, but come on, LMA got hammered the whole game. 4 free throws?

The Blazers do not have any star power to win this series. The calls will not be even down the stretch. It leaves the margin of error very small.

You can't beat Dallas in Dallas when it's 8 on 5.

frustrating as fuck, i remember the chick announcer saying "it shows how great a job that portland is doing by holding dirk to no free throws thus far", and 3 minutes later he had 10

Dirk was fouled on quite a few of those plays, but it would have been nice if we would have gotten the same kinds of calls on our end. LA was getting punished by the Mavs big men.

That "chick announcer" even drives my wife crazy! She's horrible.
