GAME THREAD: Round 1, Game 5 - Blazers @ Mavericks, 4.25.11, 5:30 PM

hahaha Chandler doesn't think he should ever get a foul on him. It's in a series like this that I miss having Joel. He would have Chandler thrown out of this game so fast.

Andre Miller has to be one of the best finishers we've ever had... right up there with Roy when he was healthy.

 

[MARIS61]

I actually have to agree with Mediocre Man here. I think the "8-on-5" thing is being taken a bit overboard tonight.

After 4 decades of consistency, it's a given.

Like the sunrise, it's just a matter of when it eventually occurs.

OMG! Dre is making some sick lay ups all game

 

[yenniedn]

I love Andre Miller.

Announcer: "Dirk wondering why he can't get a call."

Man, STFU.

 

[ILOVEODEN]

If Portland is ever going to win a road playoff game this is it. Are they mentally tough enough? I'm not sure. But the Mavs are begging to get beat.

Man, STFU.

LOL. That's just rich

 

[TripTango]

Free throws attempted per point in the paint so far this series
Portland: 0.48
Dallas: 0.77

Crazy.

 

[Darkwebs]

I like how our guys are composed. They are playing strong and steady.

 

[ILOVEODEN]

Jesus Matthews make your dam free throws. put in roy

 

[Natebishop3]

I wish we had a guy who could draw a foul automatically like that.

 

[TripTango]

I wish we had a guy who could draw a foul.

FTFY

 

[ILOVEODEN]

Not being able to win on the road is so freakin WEAK! PUT ROY IN MCCLUESS!

 

[julius]

What the hell is with San Antonio? Maybe Portland should've played them.

 

[illmatic99]

That is one pathetic playoff crowd.

He should be coming in right now. Usually the time he comes in.

No maybe about it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

ZBO knows.

 

[PapaG]

Somebody is actually stating that the reffing is overblown? The Blazers had 1 FT in the first half (on a defensive 3-second call) while scoring 28 points in the paint.

Given that the post is from one of the most negative posters on the board, and from the guy who coined the term "Assclown" for Nate McMillan, I have to question the sincerity of that opinion.

 

[Natebishop3]

Where was the contact? It looked like Marcus only affected his shot...

 

[Darkwebs]

What the hell is with San Antonio? Maybe Portland should've played them.

They're old?

 

[ILOVEODEN]

We should of played the Spurs.

 

[Natebishop3]

They're old?

Jason Kidd is old enough to have fathered many of the posters on this forum.

 

[PapaG]

No maybe about it.

I advocated tanking to play the Spurs. I still think it was a solid plan.

 

[Natebishop3]

There's Dirk having trouble drawing fouls...

 

[illmatic99]

lol. Where was the foul?

 

[yenniedn]

Andre will not let this team lose tonight. Hold down the fort til broy time in the 4th dre.

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA didn't go after the board after dirk shot it.

 

[Natebishop3]

Not supposed to win this game.
