2011 Playoffs: (3) Mavericks Vs. (6) Blazers

Big dissapointment. So close....

Mavs should give more minutes to Brian Cardinal.

My prediction looks awesome right now. Even the choking on fish part.

Hey remember how in Game 1 all the Blazers fans complained about the refs? it's reeeeeeeeeeally quiet on that front now.

Not even going to lie. You guys got totally screwed by the referees. They all went the Blazers' way. I obviously don't feel too bad about it because Dallas had a 23 point cushion and they let Roy of all people light them up, but the calls were like the 06 Finals in that fourth quarter.

The worst one was the overturned out-of-bounds call, simply because they had time to review it. In Game 3, Kidd's long two was not overturned because evidence was 'inconclusive'. Which makes me baffled how this call could get overturned, when it arguably had equally inconclusive evidence. Total lack of consistency, and not just with at-the-moment contact calls, but when they had time to analyse it.

Still, Mavs deserved to lose that game. Can't start dribbling out the clock in the third quarter, making no effort to get the ball to Dirk in the fourth, stop posting up Marion, not trying to put a new defender on Roy (Stevenson maybe).

They're just a bunch of choking buttfucks outside of Dirk.

Blazers need to play my man Patty Mills!!! I'm so annoyed that they don't play him at all coming off 23 points in 28 minutes! I know it was the last game of the season where they were resting but come on, the kid has talent.

Looking at it, seems to be that way. But I've got to admit, it was a spectacular finish.

Dirk's spewing.

Did Kidd, Terry and JJ Barea all played in the 4th quarter at one point?

Go Blazers! How i wish Oden and Roy playing 100% healthy..

Pre game show of this series in nba tv and rick kamla pisses me off. God damn bias and he seemed to bash the mavericks every chance he gets. Then there's brent barry saying terry should get the big shots down the stretch

Fuck it. Winner of this series loses to the Lakers anyway

Meh, I want teh Mavs to lose to the Spurs than the Lakers.

Dallas is a lot better than San Antonio

They're not because they play Jason Terry and JJ Barea for substantial amounts of time.

It seems Brandon Roy got bored and decided to light it up again in Portland.

One is up 3-2 against a 6 seed, the other down 3-1 to an 8 seed. One plays defense, the other has finally quit on its future hall of fame coach. As poorly as Barea has played, and Terry did in game 4, both give the Blazers fits, and really aren't bad players.

Honestly, this Mavs team is so much better than the Mavs of the last three Playoffs. Chandler gives them an above average big man on the defensive end and in rebounding.

Compare Chandler to Dampier or Diop or whatever and you finally notice how much of a joke these guys are. It's 3-2, because the Mavs just could not close out their games. As much as I started to like the Blazers in this series, Dallas is the better team and none of their losses was as much of a blow as the Blazers took last night.

Somewhat agreeing with hova-. Tyson Chandler indeed makes a difference at least time to time. Dallas old bigs never did make an impact like Tyson did today. If Tyson could pull a game like this two or three times a series, these chokers might get to the finals for dejavu, Heat vs Mavs.

To support this...

Mavs should give more minutes to Brian Cardinal.

Fact: Brian Cardinal played in the three games the Mavs won, and Mavs lost both games where Cardinal didn't play.

Because playing even just a minute will leave a big impact in the game.

Mavs up at halftime. Blazers missing Wallace so much. Dirk gets a whole lot of easy buckets this far.

Meh, we would have lost game 7 anyway. At least we had the Roy game.
