Dallas Game Thread (on TNT, so endorse Pritchard?)

Chalupas, Chalupas.

Dallas is having a meltdown

 

[EGame]

Horrible foul. What was that?

 

[mgb]

No reason to foul!

Now just make our FTs and it's over.

Roy is great at redeeming himself. He had the ball stripped away, but ran back and blocked the lay up. Then on the next play he drills an 18 foot jumper. It's like he has another gear after screwing up. Same thing with the miracle 3 against Houston last year on TNT- he fouled Yao, giving Houston the lead, but came back and hit the crazy hail mary.

Definitely agree with you, I just wish he'd use that other gear BEFORE he screws up. Like all the time. Cause its a noticeable difference

EXCELLENT GAME!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

What a fantastic win!!!

 

[TripTango]

3-0 vs. Dallas. I love it.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Wish we woulda got that one against PHO

 

[mrkorb]

I really hope we get Dallas in the first round. Forget the Lakers, we want Dallas.

 

[mgb]

This was nice to watch. It shows we can play with any team. We play like this and we might get out of the first round. Now finish out the season strong!

Nice win over a good team. Camby is really showing his worth.

Rudy might have been the difference. He came in and help us tonite.

Good point. We seem to have their number this season, not sure why. Last year, they owned us and both our rosters aren't that different.

Way to lock down the D in the 4th. Great win. Go Blazers!

I think Andre has been the huge difference maker easily. He puts pressure on Kidd and the defense whereas Blake only put pressure on Dallas when they left him wide open. Also, we seem to switch much better on Dirk, usually Batum will go on Dirk instead of Blake doing it everytime which is fine because Batum's length definitley bothers him.

I so want Dallas in the first round. They seem like the most vulnerable and volatile team in the playoffs.

Dirk 5-13

Dang. CWebb is heavy with the compliments, stating Utah and Portland are two of the best-coached teams in the league.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We've won twice in Dallas, and we're 0-? in Denver and Utah, and oddly we haven't played the Lakers at Staples yet. I'd say bring on the mavs

 

[Darkwebs]

We seem to have a lot of success on TNT. Let's hope we can do it again one week from now.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Remember back at the beginning of the season when some people (and our coach, apparently) preferred Steve Blake to start over Miller? Because he plays better with Roy? I hate throwin out hypotheticals, but, given all that's happened this year, we're not a playoff team WITHOUT Andre Miller. And we're not a playoff team WITH Heedow Turkoglew

 

[MARIS61]

Well as long as Garnett didn't say he wanted to do it doggy style it's all good.

He said it with his eyes, MGB.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Head-to-head, Miller is clearly better than Kidd.

That's weird, because most people on here think Nate is a poor coach, or average at best.

Tonight, we saw another great game plan put together. I give the credit to Nate for coming up with it and the players for executing.

We have above average talent and an above average coach. Not a bad combo...

I really hope we get Dallas in the first round. Forget the Lakers, we want Dallas.

As a lifelong Redskins fan, "We Want Dallas" is one of my favorite chants.

[maxiep]

That was a playoff-level victory. This was a case where both teams played well, but one just played better. I can't believe we've beaten them three times after how they've owned us over the past few years.

The view from the other side: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...ories/032610dnspomavericksgame.1e4428e28.html

In a year, we've gone from being their doormats to being their kryptonite?
