GAME THREAD: Round 1, Game 2 - Blazers @ Mavericks, 4.19.11, 6:30 PM

[DUB]

LOL who said Wes is a great defender? Just kidding, but he is being exploited on the floor. His D tonight is terrible.

Yeah! It's not like he's been knocked out or anything.

 

[illmatic99]

What is Miller doing? Aldridge has chandler on him, and he waves him off? Get Chandler's fifth foul

 

[TripTango]

That's what I'm talkin bout, Dre.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah! It's not like he's been knocked out or anything.

Plus he's not getting any help from Camby on the switch.

 

[Natebishop3]

Finally they're going cold.

 

[Natebishop3]

That's what I'm talking about... pound that shit into the paint.

 

[Darkwebs]

Go dre! Make Kidd play d in the post, take away his legs

 

[illmatic99]

Err. Fourth. Still, everything we're getting is in the paint.

 

[magnifier661]

Whew the bleeding stopped! Good shit Blazers! Way to stay on your feet after that hard combo (boxing reference)

 

[magnifier661]

Yeah! It's not like he's been knocked out or anything.

So we keep him on the floor if he's dizzy? Aren't you the one that agreed to not play Roy because of his injury? How is this different?

 

[illmatic99]

I'd get Nic in right now for Camby.

 

[KingSpeed]

They're the better team. It's painful but true. I hope we don't get swept.

 

[magnifier661]

Err. Fourth. Still, everything we're getting is in the paint.

That is a great sign! This is why I like our team much better than the old style. Jump shooting teams will get cold. Once that goes cold, how are you going to score. Look at Dallas right now. They are cold and we are back in it.

 

[BigVolcano]

You can't blame Wes for that... Dirk knocks him over and they call a foul on Wes?

Have they called a foul on Dallas tonight?

No the blazers magically shot 15 free throws.

 

[DUB]

So we keep him on the floor if he's dizzy? Aren't you the one that agreed to not play Roy because of his injury? How is this different?

Reckon you may have me mixed up with someone else mate.

All I'm saying is don't blame Wes.

 

[Natebishop3]

They're the better team. It's painful but true. I hope we don't get swept.

They're the luckier team Eric. Jason Kidd hasn't played like this in ten years. Now he's suddenly Steve Nash? Peja is playing like he's on the Kings... It's bullshit.

 

[julius]

How many more years is it going to be the "right team, right direction, right now"? How about "win in the 1st round" first. I'm tired of the direction being 'right'. it want it to be past that.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Everyone has fucking career games/series against us

How many more years are we going to somehow end up facing the cinderella team in the first round? Two years ago it was Houston, last season it was Phoenix, and now we're facing a Mavs team that seems like they have all the luck in the world.

 

[Natebishop3]

And that's why I love Andre Miller. Sooooo smart.

 

[DUB]

WTF DRE?!

Maybe that's the Blazers role. We give other teams confidence to lose to the Lakers later in the playoffs.

 

[TripTango]

Can we keep the burial shovels in the shed until the series is over? Please?

 

[illmatic99]

Keep chuckin that, Peja.

 

[magnifier661]

Old Blazers would have already been battling a tough 20 point deficit. This team fought back. Very proud of em.

 

[illmatic99]

Can we keep the burial shovels in the shed until the series is over? Please?

Agreed.

 

[Darkwebs]

We go down 6. Dre hits a 3! Peja bricks a 3 with Crash in his face, Dre rebounds and flings it up court to a streaking Crash, who converts the easy lay up! Awesome

 

[Natebishop3]

Gotta love how Dirk can just clear Nic out like that.

 

[DUB]

How many more years are we going to somehow end up facing the superstar team in the first round? Two years ago it was Yao, last season it was Nash, and now we're facing a Dirk team that seems like they have all the Dirk in the Stern.

EFA.

 

[Natebishop3]

Maybe that's the Blazers role. We give other teams confidence to lose to the Lakers later in the playoffs.

Well, to be fair, the Rockets lost Yao. Who knows what would have happened with the way Yao was playing that year.
