So, Logic Would Say that an Older and Less Physical Team on the Road

...would be at a disadvantage on the short turnaround between last night and Saturday at 2pm.

Tie it up, and make it a best of 3!

This next game is just as important as last night's game. The last time we went down 3-1, we won game 5 (@ home vs. HOU, two years ago). The last time we went down 3-1 with game 5 on the road was in 2000 in the WCFs, when we won both games 5 & 6 against LA.

But this team doesn't have the mental fortitude to pull out a win in the face of elimination on the road. Must win on Saturday.

If Portland can't win on Saturday, at home, with a younger team on a short turnaround, then they don't deserve to win the series anyhow.

I heard a stat last night from Rich that 80% of the Dallas points in this series have been scored by players 32 years old and older. That's insane.
