Blazers @ Dallas 12/15/10, The Revenge of the Mavericks

[Darkwebs]

The Blazers humiliated the Mavs twice in Dallas last year. The Mavs just had their 12-game win streak snapped by the Bucks. Dallas will come out pissed and will not overlook this Portland team.

How will Roy play after his comments in the paper and then his apology to the team? How will the rest of the Blazers play in light of these recent events?

I'm hoping for a Blazer win, even if by a point. But I won't hold my breath.

 

[Darkwebs]

Our D is very good so far. Roy is still a brick-master

 

[Darkwebs]

4 turnovers by Dallas in the 1st quarter so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wes had a nice move, but couldn't finish at the rim.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dante hits a long jumper!

 

[Darkwebs]

We are playing with a lot of energy, leading to good active D and a lot of offensive rebounds, but we just can't shoot. So many bricks being thrown up by every guy in red.

 

[VenomXL]

Bench comes in and immediately starts laying bricks.

 

[illmatic99]

21 shots already, but only 7 makes. This shooting slump is getting out of hand. Get to the line, damnit. And Aldridge is missing so many easy shots that he made in years past.

[Darkwebs]

Batum can't seem to do anything right on either ends of the court. Where is his head at? Or is he just fatigued from the World Championships?

 

[Darkwebs]

10 misses in a row for the Blazers. Dang

 

[craigehlo]

14 point first quarter. Way to coach em up Nate.

 

[VenomXL]

Someone take the lid off the rim already. This is embarrassing.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nateball + Nationally televised = ratings nose dive.

Way to embarrass yourselves, Blazers!

 

[craigehlo]

Nateball + Nationally televised = ratings nose dive.

Way to embarrass yourselves, Blazers!

Coming from the great Celtics/Knicks game to this garbage is really embarrassing.

 

[mrkorb]

Did I just see some guy in the crowd doing chew?

 

[Nikolokolus]

It's getting to the point where I'm not sure if this is actually providing entertainment.

 

[craigehlo]

Joel is finally at the table. As usual, Nate's sub pattern is always 5 minutes behind what's needed on the floor.

 

[illmatic99]

Batum comin to life.

 

[LameR]

In the library studying for finals, may or may not have just yelled about because of Batum. Holy crap.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is suddenly coming to life.

 

[ant]

That was a sweet grab and dunk by Nic

 

[Nikolokolus]

I hope Nate puts a stop to all this "stuff" Nic is doing right now ... pretty soon, he'll start getting big ideas like he's a pivotal part of this team on offense and isn't supposed to just sit in his corner and wait.

 

[illmatic99]

I fully expect Nate to bring back the starters now.

 

[craigehlo]

What is this? Passing???

 

[Darkwebs]

Another hard foul by Joel. If we can't beat them, hurt them.

 

[Rhal]

How the HELL did pryz get a tech?

 

[craigehlo]

Batum is killing the zone.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is saving us right now.

 

[Rhal]

way way way to many easy buckets for the mavs.
