[MadeFromDust]

I say Blazers 104, Mavs 97.

 

[KingSpeed]

I hope so.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize the prediction thread was also the game thread. My only excuse is that I don't post here often.

 

[sabas4mvp]

is the game tape delayed? My comcast schedule says it starts at 6:30, but the game starts at 5:30... Hope it's just comcast's fuck up and it starts at 5:30.

 

[KingSpeed]

No. That's the prediction thread. This is the game thread.

 

[hasoos]

Bah I always DVR it anyhow. That way I can fast forward through all of those horrible, low grade commercials.

Looks like Dallas has gone to the old Maurice Cheeks move of letting the players call the plays from now on:

Kidd is now calling the shots on offense, a move coaches and players hope will infuse and diversify an offense that has depended heavily—perhaps too heavily—on Dirk Nowitzki.
The Mavericks improved to 3-0 since the change with a dominating win over Orlando.

Looking at the matchups

PG: Sergio Rodiguez vs. Jason Kidd
Advantage: Kidd, by a long mile

SG: Brandon Roy vs. Antonie Wright
Advantage: Roy, we need a big bounceback game from Brandon.

SF: Nicolas Batum vs. Josh Howard
Advantage: Howard, we need Nicolas to give a little offensively tonight to equalize Howard

PF: LaMarcus Aldridge vs. Dirk Nowitski
Advantage: Dirk, by an inch. LMA needs to D up big time.

C: Greg Oden vs. Erick Dampier
Advantage: Greg, only if he can stay on the floor. This should be a good matchup for him since Dampier's a banger and not a flopper.

Bench: Bayless/Rudy/Joel/Outlaw vs. Terry/Bass/Barea/Hollins
Advantage: Blazers, but Barea and Terry killed us last time.

Pretty much even, but we need to play well to win.

Gotta be careful. Mine has the FAN on until 6. Game starts at 5:30 on NBATV

Link for the game stream?

Note to anyone taping the NBATV...it's blacked out in Seattle. It's on CSNNW, though.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Quick note: I don't like the amount of fadeaways Roy and LMA shoot. LMA was doing it a bunch at NOH, and Roy just started with it.

 

[Miksaid]

FUck... Blacked out on broadband. Any link?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I loved how Sergio just put a 3 in Kidd's grill for sagging 10 feet off of him.

password is razor.

it's lagging really bad though right now for me.

edit - and now it's not working anymore.

 

[MAS RipCity]

get out please sergio

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA didn't want to pass it back to a wide-open Sergio so he could shoot a turnaround fadeaway. I don't care how good or bad he's shooting, he's gotta send that back to Sergio, or Sergio needs to come out.

Thanks, but I just get a pic of a chick with her finger on her lip.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Gotta play better D, good shot Sergio

 

[MAS RipCity]

2 on DIRK!!!!!

 

[Miksaid]

Link not working. I'm dying!

 

[BrianFromWA]

2 fouls on Dirk is good, unless they're going for the Bass/Barea Kill of us tonight.

 

[rocketeer]

Thanks, but I just get a pic of a chick with her finger on her lip.

it was working for a little while and then stopped.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Anyone want to put a hand in Howard's face?

 

[Rodolfo]

Hope the bench shows some signs of life because the starters ain't doin' much so far.

 

[Rodolfo]

Sweet...I didn't know the game was in HD!

 

[KingSpeed]

Good to see their star in foul trouble.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Man, Nate's in tune with me tonight.
