Portland can beat any of the top seeds and will tire out anyone who gets past them. It's really going to suck for whoever has to play them. Best lower seeded team (by far) in the league.

Well, I don't know if they can actually beat LAL (but I won't dismiss it), but I do agree they will tire them them hell out. Which is why I don't want them. NOH looks like pushovers for Lakers. I think Portland has an excellent shot versus Dallas and possibly OKC too.


Roy has moments of the Roy I remember. Roy is another player, despite my disdain for Portland's team, whose game i just love.

Dallas getting sloppy.

Excellent PnR play for LA alley-oop.

Dallas getting sloppy.

They'd have no chance against the Blazers in the first round. I don't think they could win one game in Portland.

You could also say this about the Mavs going against the Grizzlies or Nuggets though no chance is way too harsh since the Mavs have interior D for the first time in recent memory.

Brandon Roy dunking off oops? Wat?

 

[Gigglepoo]

Do they really have a chance against any of the 5-8 teams in the West other than the Hornets?

I think Dallas would beat the other three teams. New Orleans (well, you know), Memphis (SA will sweep them, anyone else would win in five), and I still think Denver is a mirage. A fun mirage, I'm just not sold on them yet. Can you imagine if they won in the first round? After Melo historically tanked every season (but one)? While New York gets murdered in the first round? That'd be fun.

 

[Cloudy]

Well, I don't know if they can actually beat LAL

They have owned us more than any team in recent years and we literally couldn't win there forever. I certainly don't want to see them in rd 1

can Portland win in Dallas? Could be one of those 7 game only home team wins series.

I wouldn't say Dallas couldn't win, but I think Portland could be favored.

We've also blown em out like 2 of the last 3 (or 4) times in LA. And we did win in Portland last year and this and the one time they won in LA was with a hobbled Kobe, though in fairness Roy got hurt in the game too so it means nothing both ways.

Definitely the last team I'd want to see, but we should still beat em.

The #2 dunk is still one of my all time favorite posterizations.

 

[Cloudy]

You gotta take open shots, Blazers. WTF

 

[SephCast]

Are you fucking kidding me!? You're a Bulls fan! You had the best shooter guard ever!

Haha, true, but man, that was 13 years ago. I live in the present.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I just hope SA play Memphis. Two boring teams I couldn't care less about.

 

[Black Mamba]

Need replay on that travel call.

edit: good call.

Rudy nice steal!

 

[reilo]

That wasn't a foul on Chandler? LOL.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

The #2 dunk is still one of my all time favorite posterizations.

I have to say that might be my favorite Jordan moment. I've seen it hundreds of times and it still manages to surprise me. How the hell he did he do all that in one graceful swoop. lol

 

[Cloudy]

ALDRIDGE

 

[reilo]

There you go Rudy. Aldridge has made Chandler his bitch this season.

 

[Black Mamba]

KGWSports

Blazers fans raised $15,000 for Japan relief at tonight's game. Paul Allen will add additional $25,000.

good shit, portland fans and allen.

 

[Black Mamba]

holy fuck, dirk. what a shot.

Gerald Wallace, ugh.

And like that it's 1.

 

[Gigglepoo]

How come Roy is dominating the ball down the stretch instead of LMA? Seems like they should be working it down low to get Chandler out.

 

[reilo]

LOL

 

[Black Mamba]

Brandon Roy. Ice. Cold.

 

[reilo]

How come Roy is dominating the ball down the stretch instead of LMA? Seems like they should be working it down low to get Chandler out.

Cause Dallas is too afraid to double Roy in fear of an Aldridge pick n roll. And just like that, Roy does Roy. Roy is also playing PG right now with Miller on the bench.

 

[Gigglepoo]

What do the advanced stats say about Roy down the stretch? He has to be among the best closers in the league, right?

I still think LMA should get the bal

One of the best, yeah.

 

[Black Mamba]

I just realized Dallas is shooting 60%. And losing. haha.

Blazers nearly 20 more FGA and like 10 more FTA. That's the difference.

 

[Gigglepoo]

C-Webb's been reading my posts.

 

[reilo]

So close in and out shit.

 

[Cloudy]

Dirk had a great look

 

[Gigglepoo]

I can't believe Dallas only got up one attempt in 17 seconds.

 

[reilo]

Fuck yeaaaaah. Gerald almost stole that inbounds pass, too.

 

[Black Mamba]

And Lakers move into the 2 slot. awesome.

Nice defensive sequence on that possession.

 

[Branduil]

Refs 104, Dallas 101.

 

[dream]

That's just terrible execution from the Mavs.

PorFTland?

 

[marathonfool]

Blazers needed this game. Been playing some horrible basketball the last 2 games. Still don't like giving Dallas 60% shooting. At least it was a win.

 

[reilo]

Refs 104, Dallas 101.

You should ask Chandler for a refund.

 

[Cloudy]

At this rate, NO looks like the best matchup a top seed can hope 4. The West is crazy lol

Lamarcus Aldridge committed offensive fouls on literally every play.

Haha. Never change.

It's not my fault you're blind.

The East isn't too shabby, either. Beware of the Pacers!

 

[Black Mamba]

Why did Mahinmi plays instead of Haywood? Is he hurt again?

 

[reilo]

It's not my fault you're blind.

It's not my fault you're mad.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

All that I know is I do not want to play the Blazers. BRING ON THE HORNETS!

 

[Black Mamba]

PorFTland?

heh. nah, it was a product of Oreb and Dallas TOs. They didn't even get 70 shots up against one of the slowest teams in the league.

At this rate, NO looks like the best matchup a top seed can hope 4. The West is crazy lol

They'd be so easy for Lakers. They'd become LAL's new Utah series.

 

[Cloudy]

Knicks aren't a top seed lol

The human warding arm.

 

[Omiee]

nice to be the 2nd seed but the lakers need to hold it
